Our appreciation goes out to Frieda Townshend for the April salad luncheon at her home at 4649 Princeton Drive. Thank you for being a gracious hostess.

The Salad Luncheon coordinators wish to announce that they were taking the summer off. Salad Luncheons will resume again in the fall.  The group has met once a month at a member’s home. It was a fun way to meet with friends and relax.

We want to express our thanks to Cynthia Dorman and Helen Howard who did a great job coordinating the luncheon activities this past year.

DO YOU HAVE A MOTORCYCLE?
Former UWA member Colleen Jones writes “I have heard of a great many UAF WOMEN motorcycle riders.  If anyone would like to join in on Friday night rides, starting from the Regal Cinema's at 7:00 p.m., the Arctic Servant's Christian Motorcyclists Association has a safe, non-drinking group that welcomes newcomers.  This group welcomes all riders, regardless of bike style.”

Feel free to contact Colleen Jones at 474-6664 for further information.
