UWC PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Linda Asper, President 2017-19 Hello everyone! Our Christmas Market is our biggest fundraiser each year. Your volunteer work and financial support is needed to make it successful once again. Bravo to Penny Churko and her team for their hard work and creativity! You are also invited to support another fundraiser--- the sale of poinsettias. Delight every-one on your gift list with these flowers! (see page 12) Thank you to all members who attended the October General Meeting and gave feedback on issues facing the Club. Debby Brown, Joan Stone and Pat

Elliott will be working on Plan A, an attempt to stay in the House beyond 2023. Please contact them with your ideas. Bookings at the Club, particularly weddings, have been financially profitable. Thanks to Janice Macdonald for her ongoing efforts to book and oversee these activities! Take time to participate in Club events! There are great choices!

Linda ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Victoria, BC September 13, 2018 Dear Ms Asper The University Women’s Club of Winnipeg played a very important role in the life of our mother, Frances Bowles. She joined the club in 1934 after graduating from the University of Manitoba and was a member for 81 years until her death in 2015. Mom enjoyed many, many (UWC) activities over the years. She felt fortunate to serve as its President from 1975 –77 and had the opportunity to travel to IFUW conferences in several countries around the world. Learning, friendship, travel and leadership were all part of our Mother’s life thanks to the (UWC). To demonstrate her appreciation she left this bequest in her will to the club with the hope that future genera-tions would benefit from the club as much as she did. In addition, she asked that we return her UWC Past President’s pin to the club because she thought it could be given to another Past President. Sincerely, Maryann Nevile On behalf of the other executors of the will of Frances Bowles Sheldon Bowles, Kingsley Bowles and Bill Bowles

CANADIAN FEDERATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN (CFUW) Leona MacDonald, CFUW Liaison

A reminder that CFUW President Grace Hollett will be in Winnipeg Oct. 24th. Members who attend the Bar 54 event will be able to meet her there. (see page 9) October is Women’s History Month. This year’s theme, #MakeAnImpact, will celebrate women who have made a lasting impact. See more info on the Status of Women Canada website. As part of the 100th Anniversary Celebrations the Dr. A. Vibert Fellowship has been established to honour the internationally known astrophysicist, who was president of IFUW from 1947-1950. The fellow-ship for a PhD thesis/project focuses on advancing gender equality. The project must be led by women and can be used in any country other than the one in which the applicant was educated or in which she resides. With a value of $8,000CD, it is open to any female student who meets the listed requirements, and whose project aligns with CFUW’s mission, aims and objectives. Application information and eligible project exam-ples can be found at https://fcfdu.fluidreview.com/<https:/Sept/cfuw.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8efb82640cb8bc1fd889b4668&id=d54709faf6&e=fedad7add1>. Deadline:November 1, 2018. Please di-rect questions to Betty Dunlop at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. CFUW is sending a delegation of women to the 63rd annual meeting of the United Nations Status of Women Commission held March 11-22, 2019 in New York City. If interested in attending, further infor-mation can be found on the CFUW website. A few members took part in the Charitable Trust Scholarship webinar, Women and Education; Indige-nous Experiences Oct. 13th at the club, thoroughly enjoying the two featured women who relayed their ex-periences: one an educator on the Kahnawake reserve; the other a Winnipeg Métis student in her final year at Osgoode Hall Law School, the recipient of the CFUW Aboriginal Women’s Award. Clubs are urged to be pro-active about the 2018 edition of the 16 days of activism, Nov. 25- Dec. 10,

to help raise awareness against gender-based violence.

Some CFUW 100th Anniversary Scarves have been ordered by club members, so they can be worn

when hosting fellow members in Winnipeg for the 100th Anniversary AGM.

Advocacy packages are available for the three resolutions passed at the 2018 AGM: a) Fair and Non-

discriminatory Mgmt. of Refugees and Asylum seekers b) Ending Youth Homelessness c) Equitable Access to

Provincial Curricula and Social Justice for all Children. Packages containing an informational brief and tem-

plate letter that can be sent to local MPs and MLAs.

CFUW signed a joint statement ahead of the Women Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Montreal, calling

on these ministers to recognize women human rights defenders, to ensure their safety, and to support and

strengthen women’s movements. Full statement is on the CFUW website.

We are hosting

at Hotel Fort Garry.

STUDIO 54 (DRAMA GROUP) Vicky Armanios, Agnes Collins Conveners Our November meeting will be held on Thurs. Nov. 15 1:00-3:00. (Our plan this year is to meet on the third Thursday of most months. Please check the Bulletin for specific dates.) At this meeting, we will continue our reading of the original A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen and our contemplation of Nora's fateful deci-sions regarding her marriage, her children and her personal fulfillment. We will have scripts available for your use. In December, we will begin considering A Doll's House, Part II and Nora's imagined return home 15 years later. The two plays powerfully portray the main options women continue to have in life. We look forward to seeing the original play performed at The Warehouse Theatre and Part II at MTC during Ibsenfest in February. De-tails will be provided at the meeting. We look forward to having you join us!

DUMP OUT YOUR SHOES, LADIES! IT’S SHOEBOX PROJECT TIME. Sandy Millen This will be our 6th year participating in the Shoebox Project which delivers joy and acknowledgement to many at-risk and oft-overlooked deserving women currently facing challenges and loneliness in our commu-nities. Our collection dates this year will run from November 26 to Dec. 5, 2018. Here's how to be part of this project:

• Don’t have an empty shoebox? Consider picking up decorative boxes from a dollar store or craft store. Lid and box must be separate. Avoid large bows as the boxes have to be stacked for delivery purposes. (Tips for wrapping are on the website listed below.)

• Each Shoebox must be valued at approximately $50.

• Middle size bottles and containers are just right.

• Items containing alcohol are prohibited, whether it is in chocolate, mouthwash or hand sanitizers, etc. Most perfumed body sprays contain alcohol but it is labeled as glycol (Propylene Glycol), or isopropa-nol (Isopropyl Alcohol) which are others form of alcohol. Please keep an eye out for these ingredients too!

• Lipstick or lip gloss, eyeshadow and nail polish are popular items.

• Pretty scarves are always appreciated by the ladies as are knitted scarves, toques, mittens, gloves, etc.

• Candies and chocolate with nuts are not allowed as a safety pre-caution against nut allergies. There are all kinds of treats in full bars or packages. If choosing packaged candy, they can be divided up as long as each individual piece is factory-wrapped.

• Including a Gift Card for Tim Hortons, Shopper’s Drug Mart, or Walmart would be a very thoughtful gesture. It is suggested to limit them to the amount to $15.00

• Please try to cut off or remove the price tags. Finally, including a card or a hand-written note means the world to the women.

Questions? Contact Sandy Millen or go to http://www.shoeboxproject.com/manitoba.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ANNUAL CALENDAR COLLECTION & CONTEST June Dutka, Dianne Beaven, Contacts The 2019 calendars are appearing and once again I am sending out an appeal for any "freebie" scenic wall calendars you receive i.e. Autopac, your local garage, florist, etc. Last year 1,024 calendars were collected thanks to many enthusiastic donors and those who post-ed notices with their book clubs, exercise classes and church groups, etc. They were divided among the Misericordia, Deer Lodge Centre, Victoria Hospital and Health Sciences Centre. The hospitals really appreciate receiving the calendars, which brighten up the patients' rooms. Dianne Beaven and June Dutka are willing to coordinate the collection of calendars from UWC members. A basket shall be placed in a visible location at the Club so that those who wish to con-tribute to the project may drop off calendars until early January. As usual, there will be prizes for the calendars from the furthest point locally, nationally and inter-nationally as well as a prize to the person who donates the largest number of calendars.
