A Message from the President

Welcome to a new UFC year! We are excited to be offering something for everyone again this year. With over 80 active interest sections and many planned and interesting programs, we know that you will be able to discover something to entertain, interest, and engage you. You’ll find information here on this website about our innovative season of speakers, classes, tours, and tastings for both newcomers and general membership.

Interest Sections sign-ups will be held at the Newcomers’ Welcome and Fall Reception on September 25 at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Davis. This is an opportunity for friends to come together and welcome the new year while introducing our organization to newcomers. You will be able to sign up for open interest sections at this time; new sections will be formed when interest surpasses openings. Our Scholarship Reception and Recognition will be held later this year. We will keep you updated about when and how we will be recognizing our wonderful
scholarship recipients.

We have made huge progress in digitizing our organization, first with our website and next with our program registration process. Please refer to the website for all important monthly information as we will regularly update the calendar of events online. Specific details about our programs will be found on our website where we will be able to easily adjust as necessary. Registration for programs and events will be online as well. Please reach out if you have any questions regarding this process and we will be able to assist you. 

While we all look forward to our new year, let’s remember the original intent of the founding members that we continue to strengthen and support: to assist the students, to welcome women new to Davis, and to provide interesting activities for the members. We welcome your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas as to how to further improve and engage you throughout the year. We are fortunate to have over 600 members with a diversity of skills and experiences to contribute. Each of you is an important cog in our wheel and your participation, creativity, and input are vital to our success. I am honored to serve as President this year and look forward to celebrating the UFC legacy of Friendship, Enrichment, and Scholarships.

Jennifer Grossfeld, UFC President, 2024 – 2025
