Dear University Club Members and Friends.

Can you believe that it is already November? Where has the year gone? The air has taken on a

definite crispness and the leaves have shown us their glory now that the season has changed.

Pumpkin spice-flavored everything is all the rage this season and turkeys fill the cases at the gro-

cery store. The students are making plans to go home for Thanksgiving break and we are making

plans for family gatherings with plenty of food for Thanksgiving. Christmas decorations are in

the stores and Winter Wonderland is playing over the sound system as we shop for bread, milk,

and those turkeys in the grocery store.

Have you made your reservations for our wonderful Madrigal Dinner, which will be held on Sat-

urday, December 7? If not, then you had better hurry as there are only a limited number of seats

available. Once again the gifted Grateful Divas will be entertaining us as we feast on fine foods

in the medieval splendor of the Tudor Room. Please remember that this is a prepaid event and all

moneys must be sent into the office by November 29th.

As we make our way into the cooler months our calendar heats up, so be sure to check your

newsletter and our website to see what exciting events are coming up. And as always, think

about inviting a friend to an event so that they can see what our wonderful club is all about. The

more the merrier!

Yours,

When Eleanor Lahr, a long time Bloomington resident, read “Follow the River” by James Alexander Thom, a novel about the true experi-ence of Mary Draper Ingles, who was captured by the Shawnee Indi-ans and then carried 500 miles from her home, she felt inexplicably compelled to retrace Mary’s escape route back to her home Virginia.

Eleanor sometimes alone and sometimes joined by courageous women, supportive men and helpful angels, followed Mary’s path from Kentucky through West Virginia to Virginia along the banks of the Ohio, Kanawha and New Rivers. Join us as we share in her many adventures through a still wild and challenging area of Appalachia. Eleanor is the chair of the Hiking Interest Group.

Upcoming Meadowood Outings

Call 855-1325 for reservations.

All trips leave from Meadowood Circle Drive at the specified time.

Thursday, November 21, - Broadway—WICKED—Departs 4:00 PM from Meadowood Circle Dr.

Variety calls Wicked “a cultural phenomenon,” and it continues to break box office records and sell out in record

time. Winner of over 50 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, Wicked is “Broadway’s big-

gest blockbuster” (The New York Times).

Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the Land of

Oz. One, born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beau-

tiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the

Good makes for “the most complete - and completely satisfying - new musical in a long time” (USA Today). Visu-

ally stunning, Wicked boasts a soaring score from Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin), Tony Award winning sets

and costumes and some of the most gravity-defying moments the Great White Way. Join Meadowood for a pre-

show dinner at The Rathskeller inside The Athenaeum, where we will order off the menu, and then walk across to

The Murat Shrine Theatre for Wicked. Price is $97 plus dinner. Hurry! Initial order to group sales must be locked

in by September 23.

Sunday, December 8, - ISO Yuletide Celebration, Departs 3:30 PM from Meadowood Circle Dr.

In its 28th year on the Hilbert Circle Theatre stage, Duke Energy Y uletide Celebration is still considered Indiana’s

greatest holiday tradition. Five-time Grammy Award-winner Sandi Patty returns to take the stage, with Jack Everly,

the ISO, and a cast of Broadway’s best singers and dancers. Joining Sandi and Jack will be The von Trapp Family

Singers, the great-grandchildren of Captain von Trapp. Don’t miss their Sound of Music medley and classical holi-

day tunes. Other highlights include music from Broadway’s “A Christmas Story: The Musical,” “Good King Wen-

ceslas” performed by the ISO’s own violinist Michelle Kang, and Concertmaster Zach De Pue on select perfor-

mances, a Holiday Motown Medley, “Twas the Night Before Christmas” and of course, the

Tap Dancing Santas! Price is $50 plus an early dinner at Shapiro’s (on your own). Refresh-

ments will be served on the bus on the return home.

Saturday, December 14— Crossroads Classic—Departs 1:30 PM to Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis

Watch what is sure to be an exciting basketball game between the Hoosiers and Notre Dame at this year’s Cross-

roads Classic. After the game we will eat dinner at a nearby restaurant. Price of $75 includes refreshments on the

way home (dinner is extra). Hurry – there are 2 spots available.

Friday, February 7, - Indiana Repertory Theatre Outing, Departs 4:00 PM from Meadowood Circle Dr.

And Then They Came For Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank ~ Eva Schloss and Ed Silverberg, friends

of Anne Frank, were caught up in the nightmare of the Holocaust but lived to tell of lives spent in hiding and the

horrors of the concentration camps. James Still’s most-produced play combines video and live performance to

bring history to life. History hits you from every direction on the Upperstage @ IRT. Price of $55 (Meadowood

residents $50) plus dinner includes motor coach transportation and refreshments on the bus. Pre-theatre dinner will

be at Hollyhock Hill Restaurant.

SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP!

March through September – Let’s have some fun!

Shopping is fun, whether it be "window shopping" or the real thing… we are always on the lookout for that elusive bargain! Here's your chance to join other UClub members and to hit the road!

Shoppers, male and female, should be in good standing with UClub.

Shoppers should watch for monthly information in the club newsletter or by e-mail.

Shoppers wishing to participate must make reservations with the chairperson prior to the designated deadline. (EX...If

the group's excursion date is the 3rd Wednesday of the month, reservations would be due on the Monday prior.)

Shoppers would meet at a specified location to carpool to the designated locale. Departure time would be determined

by distance. We would need some shoppers to drive. Passengers in each car will be expected to give drivers a pre-

determined amount to pay for gas.

At midpoint during the shopping activity, shoppers will break for lunch. This would be approximately 11:45AM.

"Shoppers" can resume shopping after lunch. Some drivers may wish to leave earlier than others. This can be worked

out within the group.

YOGA

You need not feel intimidated by yoga! If you are interested in improving balance,

breathing, flexibility, and relaxation, this is the group for you. No previous knowledge

of yoga is necessary. Everyone works at their own level. Our group meets throughout

the year each Tuesday from 10-11 am at St. Thomas Lutheran Church in Heritage

Hall which promotes a relaxed and spiritual environment for practicing yoga.

St. Thomas Lutheran is located at the intersection of Smith Road and E. 3rd Street. Parking is plentiful.

Wear comfortable clothes to permit easy movement; bring a yoga mat and a stretchy band or belt. Our in-

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.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact Louray, Marilyn or Svetla.

SUNDAY BRUNCH

Every 2nd Sunday of the month from September 2013 - May 2014, 1 p.m. All members of

the University Club are cordially invited to join the Sunday Brunch Interest Group on the

dates and at the locations listed below. This will be an excellent opportunity to try local

restaurants with your University Club friends both old and new. You will receive an

e-mail reminder each month once you sign up for this Interest Group.

Nov. 10 Lennie's, 1795 E. 10th St. Additional parking at Jimmy Johns I've done my dry run and can hardily endorse Lennie's. It's in the Crosstown Shopping Center on 10th Street on campus. When I

arrived at 1, the parking lot was about full but in 15 minutes most had cleared out. I spoke with the manager who told me we can

also park east of Jimmie Johns. That's a bit east of Cross Town but if you can't find an opening there, try east of Jimmie Johns. The

brunch menu was excellent with interesting items. They also offer mimosas, screwdrivers, and the best bloody Mary I've ever drank.

Prices are below $10 for most items.

Join us on Sunday, November 10, at 1 p.m. at Lennie's and enjoy great food, drinks, and conversation. Let me know by

the previous Friday, Nov. 8, so I can make a reservation for our group. Just reply to this e-mail. Hope to see you then.

Dec. 8 The Owlery, 118 W. 6th St.

Jan. 12 Irish Lion, 212 W. Kirkwood Ave.

Feb. 9 Runcible Spoon, 412 E. 6th St.

Mar. 9 Sweet Claire, 309 E. 3rd St.

April 13 Scholars Inn, 717 N. College Ave.

May 11 Scenic View, 4600 S. State Road 446
