Finally, Julie Kwan, Past President on the Board of Governors, briefed the attendees on the Faculty Club fundraising opportunities, major changes regarding FC's patios, landscaping, renovations of Morrison Room (formerly California Room), Main Dining Room, Cypress Bar & Lounge, and other spaces and staff offices. 

FWC leadership has approved funding drive for one fireplace, so that when the renovated Faculty Club opens its doors in Spring of 2022, the place will be proud to welcome old and new members!
