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
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.

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.

Professor Paul Helmke, former Mayor of Fort Wayne, IN and Chairman of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, understands how the controversial topic of guns, violence, and the second amendment engender strong opinions and passionate debate. Is there a common ground where we can meet and rationally discuss this important
issue? Paul Helmke believes that when armed with the facts, we can reach that common ground.

Selma Steele, the wife of T. C. Steele, a trained artist who approached her gardens from a painter’s point of
view, and whose gardens were showcased in many of T.C.’s paintings. It was thanks to Selma that the “House
of Singing Winds” has been preserved as part of the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. We look forward to learn-
ing more about her.
