I extend a warm wel-

come to not only our

current members but also

newcomers to the UNL

Women’s Club as we

begin the 2013-2014

year. We look forward

to an enjoyable and in-

teresting experience!

The main focus of the

UNL Women’s Club is

to provide service to the

University of Nebraska-Lincoln. We are proud of

our efforts in assisting students who

have financial needs. The club awards

several scholarships each year to students

who submit applications and qualify for

this assistance. A secondary purpose of

our club is to promote fellowship among

members. The many activities and events provide

choices and opportunities for meeting others with

common interests. I hope you will take advantage of

this benefit.

My own history with the club began in 1982 when my

husband, two sons and I moved to Lincoln. A neigh-

bor invited me to join UNL Women’s Club. I par-

ticipated in Newcomers, Piecemakers, and attended

a few of the club’s planned events. I truly enjoyed

meeting women with interests similar to mine.

In the Fall of 1982, I was called to substitute teach

at various schools in the city. This led to a full time

position with Lincoln Public Schools, and teaching

filled my days and sometimes my evenings!

However, things changed in June of 2006 when I

retired. Once again I had time to participate in the

activities of the UNL Women’s Club. I have met

many friends and become active in the organization

during the course of the last seven years. The spirit of

fellowship continues!

The year 2013 begins with the Welcome Luncheon at

President James B. Milliken and Nana Smith’s

home. This is a time to enjoy Nana’s hospitality,

conversation with friends, and meeting new friends.

The Fall Tour includes a stop at the new Pinnacle

Bank Arena, with lunch nearby. The Landing con-

tinues to be a favorite gathering place for

the Fall Brunch. The Fund Raising

Committee has a special event planned

in February at the Country Club of Lin-

coln. In the Spring we will have two

interesting programs. The year will

conclude with the annual Spring Luncheon.

As President I am becoming more aware of the many

hours contributed on behalf of the club by our mem-

Chairs and many committee members share common

goals and devote the time necessary to achieve those

goals. This spirit of teamwork leads to a growing and

vibrant club. Please encourage others to become mem-

I look forward to serving as your President this year.

captivating, and touching. Previously she had an extensive career in theatre and television on the West Coast, including five years

hosting a daily morning television show on ABC in San Francisco. An audience member recently captured the gist of Pippa's

unique presentations when he said, "her performances are entertainment wrapped in history intertwined with inspiration." She

is not to be missed! For more information on Pippa White, visit her website at: http://www.pippawhite1co.com

Big 10 Women’s Conference

The UNL Women’s Club was represented at the 15th Biennial Conference of Big Ten Women’s

Organizations, held June 7-9 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Delegates Mae

Anne Balschweid and Sally Wei enjoyed getting to know other women from like-minded organiza-

tions throughout the Big 10 Conference. Along with building friendships and finding common

ground with other clubs, they also learned from a variety of presenters, multiple strategies for im-

proving the viability and success of our wonderful club!

The theme of the conference was “Cultivating Winning Strategies.” On Friday evening, all 40 par-

ticipants were treated to a lovely welcome reception hosted by the university president’s wife in the

stately presidential mansion. On Saturday morning, the keynote speaker Dr. Bruce Vojak gave a

Big 10 Conference (continued from Page 4) innovators.” Dr. Vojak’s speech was followed

by four breakout sessions: Leadership; Com-

munications and Technology; Membership

and Newcomers; and Scholarships,

Fundraising and Finance. The

breakout sessions were excellent and

generated many new ideas and

strategies. Saturday afternoon of-

fered a number of optional tours:

either a technology tour of the Blue

Waters & Beckman Institute for

Advanced Science and Technology;

an arts tour of the Spurlock Muse-

um & Krannert Center for the Per-

forming Arts; or a garden tour of

the campus arboretum. The day

was topped off with a gala dinner at

the hotel with entertainment provid-

ed by “The Other Guys,” a small

ensemble of talented young men from the

University Men’s Glee Club.

The conference concluded on Sunday morning

with a business meeting to discuss proposed

changes to the conference bylaws. In addition

to some minor proposals, there was also a pro-

posal for gender neutrality wording in the con-

ference name and bylaws. After a lively discus-

sion, it was voted that the Big 10 Conference

name remain the same until the next confer-

ence. The next conference will be in 2015 and

held at Ohio State University.

The UNL women’s club would like to express

our deep gratitude to Harvey Perlman for

providing the funding necessary to enable our

delegates to attend the conference. The confer-

ence was a valuable and rewarding experience

in forging relationships with other Big 10 uni-

versity women’s clubs as well as providing new

insights and ideas for our club.

TAKE A SEAT FOR THE NIGHT- LIVE/SILENT AUCTION

The fundraising committee is in the process of planning a live/silent auction to be held at the Country Club of Lincoln on

February 6, 2014! The doors will open at 5:30 with the auction beginning at 6:30 – There will be heavy hors d’oeuvres and a

cash bar. The live auction will feature painted Adirondack chairs from UNL colleges/departments as well as local businesses.

Each chair will be a unique collector’s item and will be awarded to the highest bidder at our live auction. There will be an

Adirondack chair signed by our own “Tom Osborne,” one from our new athletic director signed by head coaches, the Col-

lege of Engineering, the Department of Entomology, the Lincoln Airport, and the Saltdogs, just to name a few. Chairs will be

displayed throughout Lincoln prior to the event so keep your eyes open.

We are asking all members of the UNL Women’s Club to support us in our efforts to provide scholarships for our students.

We will need lots and lots of silent auction items for the event. If every person could secure ONE item it would make our

auction a huge success! We have a general donation request letter for local businesses which explains our event. I can email

it to anyone who is interested. Also, we are in need of several gift baskets or decorated boxes to auction off at the event. If

you are willing to donate or secure donations for any of the below baskets, please contact Rhonda Obermeier at

[email protected] or (402) 327-0151. This will keep multiple people from arranging the same theme basket. If you

want us to put together a basket for you just send in $50.00 and we will be happy to arrange it. All baskets/decorated boxes

should have a minimum value of $50.00.

If you are sending a check make it out to UNLWC and mail to: Rhonda Obermeier at 6000 S. 114th St. Lincoln, NE 68526.
