WHAT'S NEW? The April meeting is going to be different and exciting – with the opportunity to experience the luxury of dining at the State Club and being among the first groups to be hosted for an official tour of The Point, the new Chancellor’s Residence (it certainly helps that Susan Woodson is an honorary member of our club!). Many of us will remember fondly our Teas at the former residence. We hope you will participate so we may appropriately show our appreciation to the Woodsons with a great turnout. We do have to give a count to the State Club earlier than usual for our April meeting. If you will attend (and remember, you are welcome to bring guest[s]), please note so on the reply form (see the March 2012 newsletter for a copy). Please return this form even if you are not attending the March meeting. This is NOT the reservation for next month, so don’t pay for April yet. It’s just a way for us to get information to the April hostesses so they can have a good, preliminary estimate.

BACKGROUND The NC State University Woman’s Club was organized in 1919 with membership open to all women associated or formerly associated with the University.
WHAT WE DO The club has served the University in a variety of ways suitable to the changing times. It continues to provide both financial support and volunteers for English conversation classes for adult English as a second language learners. In addition, the Club sponsors scholarships for mature women returning to NC State University. Members of the club pay annual dues and may participate in fundraising events for scholarships and in the several interest groups that meet monthly, for example, book discussion, bridge, and gourmet cooking.
