Inside News

Dear University Club Members and Friends,

As June has arrived, I have officially taken over the duties of president of the University Club

from Ed and Linda Heath. They did a wonderful job as co-presidents and they will be a tough act

to follow. I have learned a great deal from them and I look forward to learning even more as the

board works together to make the University Club better and stronger. We are fortunate to have

so many dedicated people serving on the board.

Kate Kroll and Suzanne Phillips have graciously agreed to serve together as co-vice presidents

and I know that they will make a strong team and do a good job for the club. They are already

planning some great events for the coming year and I am excited to tell you that we are once

again hosting the Madrigal Dinner this December. Carolyn Anderson and Suzanne Roberts have

planned some interesting programs for the Luncheon Program Club as well. Be sure to read your

monthly newsletters for all the details on all the upcoming programs and events. I also wish to

congratulate Marilyn Uselding, who is the new Women’s Club president.

Here is the list of the current University Club board officers:

has ever seen. Smoke on the Mountain is a musical that was written by Connie Ray and conceived by Alan Bailey. The

name of the musical comes from Psalm 104:32: “He who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains,

structors strive to leave you feeling stretched, relaxed and in a better place than when you came through the

door.

You may join us 3 times before membership in the University Club is required for participation. There is no

additional cost beyond University Club membership, but we do ask that you give a minimum $20 annual do-

nation to St. Thomas Lutheran Church for the use of their lovely facility.
