LETTER FROM THE CO-PRESIDENTS<br />
Our year of Faculty Women’s Club activities is underway and I hope you were able to join us for the<br />
Fall Welcome Luncheon. Not only did we renew friendships and meet new members, but our guest<br />
speaker, Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, gave us the lowdown on brain health and thinking smarter.<br />
A smart thing to do is look through the newsletter and note all the fun, interesting, and varied activities<br />
FWC offers to its members. On October 10th , the Freewheelers will take a day trip to Texas ranch<br />
country; and if you haven’t been to the famous <strong>Dallas</strong> Arboretum you must come along November 1st<br />
to experience the astounding Chihuly exhibit. Check all this and more on our new website.<br />

DUES ARE DUE<br />
Mail $20 check payable to FWC to Heike Cullum. Email Heike <strong>at</strong> fwcwomen@gmail.com for her mailing<br />
address. Include the yellow dues form with interest group selections.<br />
Additional don<strong>at</strong>ions for our projects are appreci<strong>at</strong>ed. The directory will be mailed in January.<br />
"Didn't I already send in my dues?"<br />
This is a question many people ask after receiving the 2nd of our 4 annual newsletters. Our 2nd mailing includes the l<strong>at</strong>est newsletter<br />
as well as another yellow membership insert, even if you already sent me your membership dues. The reason for this is th<strong>at</strong><br />
our 1st and 2nd mailings go to all female <strong>faculty</strong> and wives of male <strong>faculty</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>UT</strong>SW. Since this is a large group of approx. 2000<br />
people, our mailing labels are printed by Human Resources <strong>at</strong> <strong>UT</strong>SW. For our 3rd and 4th mailings, the labels are printed by me<br />
and go only to those who have sent me their membership dues. If you have any questions about whether I have received your<br />
membership check, please either call or email me; I'd be happy to check for you. If you do accidentally send me 2 checks, I will<br />
contact you and let you know. ~ Heike ~ fwcwomen@gmail.com
