Dear Members,

Welcome to February! The month of sweethearts and a tribute to our Presidents.

Winter is almost over and spring will be here before you know it. Let's hope that

Punxsutawney Phil has a good prediction for us.

January at the UClub began with Perry Metz, executive director of WTIU Public

Television and WFIU Public Radio. Perry gave us an insider’s look at the world of

public television and radio. He predicted that perhaps the future will include a "voice

activated" device on the wall of your house that will control all your electronic

devices. Perry shared that 10 million tuned in for the season premiere of Master-

piece classic "Downton Abbey" and assured us the series will continue. He also

talked about the who, what, and how, of modern TV and Radio, then graciously

answered questions from the audience.

Dr. James Madison, a favorite speaker of all, is sure to engage us with his history

of Indiana including information that many of us either have not heard before or had

long forgotten. The UWC brings this excellent program to you on February 12th in

the Presidents’ Room at the UClub. Sign up now as registration closes soon.

Professor Richard Rose will entertain us with his fascinating talk on "What research

with twins tells us about ourselves”. You don’t need to be a twin to enjoy this

fascinating talk. Sign up now for this one, too!

Always wanted to try "Line Dancing"? Here’s your chance to have fun and get some

exercise! Join the party on Saturday, February 21st at 7 PM in the Presidents’ Room

at the UClub. Taking reservations now!

A special thanks to Linda Gregory and Linda Burton of the Antiques Group for

organizing the incredible overnight trip to Cincinnati on April 23-24. This trip is

open to all. Make your reservation today. The University Club had a booth at the

Bloomington Bridal Show on January 18th

and interest in our fabulous club was high!

The University Club - Out and about in B-town!

The Bloomington Bridal Show January 18th

UClub Manager, Deb Cordrey, setting up the trade show booth

UClub Community Chair, Carolyn Anderson, and UClub Manager, Deb Cordrey at the Bloomington Convention Center Bridal Show

The Bloomington Bridal Show is held every January at the Bloom-ington Convention Center. There were over 60 of the area’s finest wedding professionals on hand to help guests with wedding day plans including the University Club!

Everything from banquet halls to photographers, caterers, formal-wear companies, and DJ’s were represented at the show. There was even a musician who would write a personal song for the bride and groom, and an artist drawing caricatures of engaged couples!

This year there were over 550 Attendees! Of those, 240 were ‘brides to be’ who had pre-registered for the show and had the opportunity to win free giveaways and discounts throughout the day.

The Bridal Show is a great way for the Club to showcase our beautiful rooms, and get the word out that the University Club is a very special place with affordable banquet and meeting space. The Presidents’ Room and Faculty Room are perfect for smaller weddings, receptions, bridal showers, bachelor parties, rehearsal dinners, and Sunday brunches after the big day!

Remember the University Club when friends and family make wedding plans, and be sure to take advantage of the room rental discounts you receive through your Club membership.

The University Club is a member of the Bloomington Wedding Planners Gathering. This group of wedding professionals meet monthly for business networking and referral opportunities.

February's birth flower is the violet, which signifies watchfulness, loyalty, and faithfulness. Give a violet to someone to let them know you'll always be there for them.

Dick Rose describes himself as in “nominal retirement” from the IU Department of Psychology and Brain Science. But he continues his work in psychology where he concentrates on the curious patterns of similarity, other than the physical, obviously, which arise in twins. When he isn’t pursuing his NIH-funded research on that subject, he can be found serving on the Boards of the Interfaith Winter Shelter and the Shalom Community Center, or in the choir stalls of the First United Methodist Church.

Is there a common ground where we can meet and rationally discuss this important

Day Outing to Vincennes

The Museum is attached to the Red Skelton Performing Arts Center featuring an 800 plus seat European opera-style

theater. After lunch, we will take in the George Rogers Clark National Historic Park and other landmarks as time per-

mits. The park features a massive granite memorial which commemorates the conquest of the Old Northwest Territory.

It is the largest national monument outside of Washington, D.C. The Memorial is located on the site of the former Brit-

ish Fort Sackville which was captured by Colonel George Rogers Clark and his army of 170 frontiersmen and French-

Crazy For You at Beef & Boards

Wednesday, February 25, Departs 10:30 AM to Indianapolis

Winner of three Tony Awards and based on the 1930 musical Girl Crazy, the story centers around Bobby Child, who is

sent to Nevada to foreclose on a theatre owned by the family business. But when he falls in love with the local postmis-

tress, he devises a plan to save the theatre. Songs include “I’ve Got Rhythm,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “They

Can’t Take That Away From Me.” Book by Ken Ludwig with Music by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin.

Price of $60 includes reserved table seating, buffet lunch, and refreshments on the bus.

Swope Art Museum

Thursday, March 12, Departs 8:15 AM to Terre Haute

Recently named “One of the 10 best places to see art in smaller cities” by USA Today, we will visit this celebrated mu-

seum which formally opened its doors to the public in 1942 with nationwide attention. Its founding collection contained

new works by artists such as Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, Charles Burchfield, Zoltan Sepeshy and Edward Hop-

per, and it remains the feature for which the Swope is best known. Of note to our residents, an exhibit called Fertile

Ground: Midwest Printmaking Traditions will feature 10 works by Rudy Pozzatti. After lunch, we will tour the Indiana

Theatre. This iconic Terre Haute landmark opened on January 28, 1922, and occupies a special place in American thea-

tre architecture design. The Theatre was built by Terre Haute resident T.W. Barhydt to be a lasting gift to the city of

Terre Haute and it was designed by America’s preeminent designer John Eberson to be his first prototype atmospheric

theater which became his signature style that is recognized to be the gold standard of American theatre design. Addi-

tional tour possible. Price TBA (after lunch arrangements have been made).

The Lion King

Saturday, March 28, Departs 10:00 AM

Join Meadowood to experience the phenomenon. Visually stunning, technically astounding and with a musical score

like none other you’ve ever heard. Giraffes strut, birds swoop, gazelles leap. The entire savannah comes to life and as

the music soars, Pride Rock slowly emerges from the mist. Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals brought to

life by a cast of more than 40 actors. Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pride Lands and an unforgettable

score including Elton John and Tim Rice’s Oscar-winning song “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and “Circle of Life.”

Price of $110 includes ticket, transportation and snacks on the bus. We will eat lunch in a downtown Louisville restau-

rant before the matinee (charged back).
