WELCOME NEWCOMERS / VISITORS 

 FWC hosted a Welcoming Party on November 2, 2008 for Newcomers and Visitors to meet members of the FWC Board and Section Chairs.  The event was held at the home of Barbara, Membership Chair, and spouses were also invited.  See photos below.

The FWC is one of the oldest support groups on the UCLA campus. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and all corners of campus to enjoy many educational and social activities. FWC currently has more than twenty Special Interest Sections for you to sample including everything from Book and Bridge groups to Bicycling, Tai Chi, Tennis and Walking/Hiking; from Conversational French, German or Spanish to International Cooking and Let’s Do Lunch; from Movies and Travel to Sonata (opportunities to enjoy and/or share personal talents in the arts in new, innovative ways); and from Writers and Genealogy to Garden Tours and Safety. In addition, the Galleries and Sights section explores places of interest in and around the Los Angeles area. And the Birthday Club helps members get better acquainted as they celebrate their birthdays and individual histories. As you can see, there is something for everyone! 

If you have come to UCLA in 2007 or 2008 or if you are returning to FWC, we invite you to join FWC as a Newcomer and attend our General Meetings and Special Interest Sections.  For more information, please e-mail the UCLA Faculty Women's Club at uclafwc@ucla.edu with Newcomers as the subject.  Let us know who you are.  We look forward to meeting you.
