President's Message

My warmest welcome is extended to all logging onto this website of The University Club of Iowa City, as we begin our 93rd year.  Founded in 1917, our membership is 775 members strong.  Our mission is to promote interaction of women of all ages and affiliations who are interested in the University of Iowa and the surrounding Iowa City community.  I invite you to attend our monthly luncheons and participate in any of our 28 interest groups, which will provide you with many new and unique social, educational, and cultural opportunities.  If you have recently moved to the Iowa City area, I welcome you and invite you to go to the Newcomers' link located under Interest Groups.  Our  Newcomers' Division is open to all women in their first four years of residence in the Iowa City area.  Their monthly coffees, socials, and great variety of programs offer an ideal opportunity to make new friends and lasting friendships whil learning about the Iowa City community.

This website will constantly change providing details of The University Club's current functions including all of aour activities:  our luncheons, coffees, events, socials, and interest groups.  The contact us will include our membership form and how to communicate with us.  Members also receive the Clarion, our newsletter, mailed or by email three times per year.  Mark your calendar and join us for our first event of the year, The University Club's Fall Fair  "Setting Sail on a New Adventure", including our very first silent auction with all proceeds going to our scholarship fund on Tuesday, September 8, 2009.

Be sure to check our website for Events , Interest Groups, and Forms.

I am honored to be your president and please feel free to contact me with any ideas suggestions.  The University Club looks forward to another great year of friendship and memories!
