Message from Our President
Jan Frerichs, President 2026–27
Welcome to the 2026–27 University Women’s Club year.
Our members’ appreciation picnic was a wonderful way to begin,
and it was great to see so many of you there. As your new president, I value our
talented, friendly members and look forward to reconnecting with familiar
faces and getting to know many more of you this year.
Our annual Fall Fair is coming up on Tuesday, September 15th and will be
held at Parkview Church on Foster Road. The hours are 10 am to noon.
Please join us to pay your membership dues, pick up your Yearbook,
check out more than forty interest groups, donate to our
scholarship fund, take advantage of discounted tickets to our
Luncheon/Events, and enjoy a snack and beverage. The theme
this year is "Belong.Connect.Thrive".
As I reflect on that theme, the following comes to mind:
Belong – what a great welcoming organization with many new
and lasting friendships.
Connect – meet other women from diverse backgrounds to
share ideas and activities. This is a wonderful organization
whether you are new to the Iowa City area or are a long-time
resident.
Thrive – check out our many interest groups to learn a new
skill, teach a skill, or hone an existing one.
Our scholarship fund is a fantastic opportunity to support
young women in our community who are attending the
University of Iowa. Visit our scholarship table at the Fall Fair.
I look forward to wonderful year with all of you.
