2019 LUNCHEON STARTS the 2nd CENTURY of The UCLA Faculty Women's Club

At the May 21st 2019 Sixth General Meeting, we gathered to honor several important events.

Firstoff, we celebrated the start of the second century of the Faculty Women's Club.

We honored our incoming 2019-2020 FWC President, Shirley Ho. I interviewed Shirley in the Spring of 2013 for our Centennial Oral Legacy Project. Shirley joined the FWC, inspired by the Scholarship Program in 1997, when their son Dean was awarded a FWC Scholarship in 1997. Shirley is our Music Section soprano soloist, and the Music Section member for the inception.

Dianne Homsher is our 2018-2019 FWC Outstanding Member. Dianne was also interviewed in the Spring of 2013 for the Centennial Oral Legacy Project. Jo Knopoff and Penny Hutchinson, whom I also interviewed for the Legacy Project, summarized numerous Dianne's achievement for us. I am using the photo below, which tells us all we need to know about the wonderful vibes of General Meeting Program. All four outstanding ladies have been with the UCLA's FWC from our beginnings. I personally have been fortunate to have interviewed them all in that Spring 2013!

We welcomed our guest speaker, Janet Pregler, MD, Director of the Iris Cantor UCLA Women's Health Center.

Dr. Pregler has served as an advocate and educator on women's health.

Her primary academic interests are breast cancer survivorship and menopause.

Dr. Pregler's topic, as the slide shows:

"Requiem for the 70 kg Man:
A short history of women's health and
academic medicine."

Finally, we celebrated PAST PRESIDENTS with traditional roses:

FWC CENTENNIAL Closing FEST, March 19th 2019

To close the Centennial Celebration of the UCLA's Faculty Women's Club, founded in mid March od 1918, we will gather to honor our organization, to celebrate Women's History Month, and to learn about the iconic Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000). Professor Danijela Cabric of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UCLA will illuminate on Lamarr's passion for scientific discovery in secure communication systems.

Our story begins with a teachers' training program, founded in 1862 as the California State Normal School in San Francisco. In 1881 a southern branch was added--the Los Angeles State Normal School (LASNS), which eventually moved to a site on Vermont Avenue. In 1887, LASNS became independent of the parent school under the leadership of Dr. E. C. Moore. Desiring to transform the 2-year college into a 4-year institution that would be part of the University of California (UC), Dr. Moore met with Southern California Regent E.A. Dickson to discuss putting in place a plan that let to the founding of today's UCLA.

LASNS Prof. Mary Burney Porter led the advocacy for the transformation which she felt would support equal opportunities for all. On March 15, 1918, she and about 45 faculty members created the Faculty Women's Club of LASNS for the purpose to place a measure for a 4-year school before the Women's Legislative Council of California. It represented about 80,000 women voters "interested in the welfare of women and children." Prof. Burney became president of the Club.

Promoting good fellowship among the faculty, their spouses, and the entire UCLA community, through educational and social activities and to assist UCLA students through a scholarship program remains the three-pronged mission we honor today.

At our Centennial closingFest on March 19th, we had a highest attendance ever, celebrated with bubblies, delicious chantilly triple berry cake, greetings from Carole Goldberg, and Julie Sina. They all praised the healthy longevity and the significance of the UCLA's Faculty Women's Club.

Carole Goldberg reminds us that while one hundred years (for UCLA) is indeed a long time, it is not compared with founding of other major higher education institutions.

As Vice President of the UCLA's Faculty Women's Club, 2017-2019, I had been honored and privileged to have worked with wonderful colleagues and friends on several projects throughout this Centennial celebration.

For example, at the April 2018 General Meeting, we presented a young pianist musician Victor Shlyakhtenko, as part of the Music Section participation; we also focused on the history of the UCLA's FWC.

In addition, The Centennial Committee had suggested that sections consider participating in a unique and creative way in the celebration of the Centennial Year.  And they did.

Jeanne Pritzker, FWC Woman of Distinction
with Geraldine Walter, FWC President

We started off our General Meeting #1 with the 2018 FWC Woman of Distinction, Jeanne Pritzker, founder and chair of Foster Care Counts (FCC). Jeanne found her non-profit organization that raises awareness and provides financial support to local agencies working to help underserved populations. Our President 2018-2019 Geraldine Walter shares a moment to present the award to Pritzker.

Our sections represent the interests and affinities of FWC members. Each October at our first General Meeting, sections showcase their programs and recruit new members.

We welcomed Helene DesRuisseaux as our new Chair of the FRENCH Reading and Conversation Section.

WRITERS and PLAY READING sections will contribute their own skit at the April 2019 General Meeting.

Marianne Tereszcuk chairs all three BRIDGE sections.

MUSIC IN CULTURAL CONTEXTS section welcomes members outside our own section during many of our regular gatherings.

As a group, we will attend Academy St. Martin in the Fields with Jeremy Denk at the Broad Sage in Santa Monica. 

Rochelle Caballero and Phyllis Amboss

Marianne Tereszcuk chairs all BRIDGE sections

Evan Kleiman was our speaker at the November 2018 General Meeting. She walked into a professional restaurant kitchen and found her home. In 1984 she opened Angeli Caffe serving regional Italian food in a casual welcoming atmosphere.

Evan co-authore Cucina Fresca, still in print, considered a classic. Since 1998 the radio show and podcast Good Food has been the place she could explore various aspects of food and how it intersects with our lives. The show airs on KCRW, and NPR station in Southern California and has a worldwide audience on the web. On how to make homemade pies, and other delicious meals, visit her BLUPRINT.

 Zorana, Vice President for Sections and Chair of Music in Cultural Contexts Section, suggested that the sections be more open to the entire membership rather than to our own section members.

Jaime Bulkacz, presenter on ARGENTINE TANGO
with Zorana Ercegovac, VP Sections

October 17, 2018, our MUSIC SECTION presented a unique opportunity for the participants to learn about the evolution of the Argentine TANGO since the beginnings. It incorporates a variety of cultural traits and performance traditions. Jaime, a native of Buenos Aires, expertly marched through its historical origins of vocal and instrumental genres and ensembles.

One among our attendees observed that while we typically associate the word "tango" with dance, many Argentinians focus on the tango music.

General Meeting #1: October 16, 2018, UCLA's Faculty Center

Our bulletin UPDATE announces section dates and programs, but traditionally each section has included its own members. This "openness" would be a wonderful opportunity for new members to sample those sections they feel particular affinity for. Examples abound. For example, as we read Julian Barnes' "Flaubert's Parrot" in the book section, French section may offer expertise on the novelist Gustave Flaubert.

Currently, UCLA's Hammer Museum is exhibiting drawings by Victor Hugo's son Charles Hugo (1826-1871). He photographed his father seated on the Jersey rock, Rocher des Prescripts (exiles' rock), around 1853.

Here, Victor Hugo is seen gazing up and beyond the horizon contemplating that the ground and the air we breath is the same for all people regardless of their origins and birthplace. Everywhere, man is at home.

Reading Hugo's novels and watching his son's drawings made strong impression on me, worth exploring further, perhaps in our Book and French Sections.
Now in our third year, Music Section will offer our traditional Holiday SING ALONG in December. We invite members from Book and Play-Reading sections. Shirley Ho, a member of Music Section and B-day Section will be the hostess of a special event in February 2019. Dishes from our International Cooking Section could be another possible candidate to include in this year's experiment.

Debby Kennel who chairs our Book Section presented Jamie Bernstein's Famous Father Girl (HarperCollins 2018), the work which could have been presented both in the Music Section and the Book Section. Here's the group from yesterday's meeting.

Bernstein's firstborn daughter has written a memoir of her family, her "daddy." The photo on the left is from The New Yorker (June 25, 2018), written by David Denby and titled "Music Man." As a group, we dissected numerous issues as presented in the book that was published by HarperCollins in 2018, in the year of Leonard Bernstein's centenary.

Bernstein was the great American composer, conductor, humanitarian, pianist, and the one who negotiated endless boundaries between the concert hall and the Broadway, between secular and sacred musical genres, and much more.

Leonard Bernstein @ 100 was on view at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles from April 26 through September 2, 2018.

He was Harvard educated, handsome, American-Jewish super hero, who enjoyed frequent company of family members, friends, and his colleagues, especially his New York Philharmonic Orchestra. He was well regarded and revered both at home and internationally.

Our discussion was equally divided to LB as a person as well as the artist.

Finally, Zorana invited all Section Chairs attendees to the screening of Roma King's documentary film, based on her book "Footsteps in the Snow." The film will be showing Sunday on October 21st at the Laemmle Film Center in Santa Monica.
I had coffee with Roma just before her departure for Poland, and chatted about her debut documentary film.
The photo below is of Roma who told me all about what would be happening back in Poland.

The Story of The UCLA Faculty Women's Club: Wrapping Up Essential Achievements 1918-2018

by Zorana Ercegovac

Our Fifth General Meeting held on April 17th 2018 was a great success. It was indeed celebratory. A multi-part Centennial Program included a welcome by FWC President (2017-2018) Barbara Lippe along with vote for the 2018-2019 Executive Board officers.

Zorana Ercegovac presented her Multi-Media Album honoring FWC. We heard voices of FWC members since late 1950s, saw dozens of digitized photos of FWC members and traditions, and reminiscent of historical contexts which championed human's rights, women's rights, equality, access to learning and higher education, environmental protection, Child Labor Reform, advances in communication and transportation industries, and so much more. A few pictures are given below.

The UCLA Faculty Women's Club celebrates our 100th year. This special post gives a very condensed timeline of the essential achievements during these hundred years.
Our story begins with California State Normal School in San francisco in 1862. The School moved to San Jose and later became known as San Jose Normal School. In 1881 Southern branch was announced of California SNS with 61 students including 13 young men. The School was renamed Los Angeles State Normal School (LASNS) in 1887 with Dr. Ernest Carroll Moore of the SJNS as Director of the newly established School.

The California State Normal School at 5th Street and Grand Ave in Los Angeles

Dr. Moore wished to transform a 2-year college into a 4-year higher education institution that was part of University of California. He had been superintendent of Schools in LA, 1906-1910. He met with Mr. Edward A. Dickson, Los Angeles Express editor and the only Regent of UC from Southern California. These preliminary discussions were put in place for the founding of today's UCLA. Among the strongest advocates in this seminal transformational process was the LASNS Faculty Women's Club (FWC), founded in 1918. The LASNS faculty women supported the need for higher education in addition to teachers' training in Southern California. Miss Mary Burney Porter asked:

"Will you not give all an equal chance by helping to transform the Los Angeles Normal School into a higher education institution?"

Dr. Moore, Miss Porter, and Miss Chilton endorsed the Women's Legislative Council of California, representing more than 80,000 women voters "interested in welfare of women and children."

A broader societal context of the late 19th c. and early 20th c.
WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE Movement

Miss Porter and about 45 faculty members created the FWC of the LASNS on the Vermont campus on March 15, 1918 overnight in order to pass a measure before the WLCC. Dr. Moore joined the meeting that day to give the Club his blessing, prophesying growth.

This Spring 2018, we celebrate our 100th birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FWC

In 1919 Gov. William D. Stephenson of California signed State Assembly Bill 626 establishing the Southern Branch of UC with Dr. Moore at the helm (1919-1936), with 250 undergraduates, and 1,125 students in the Teachers Training Program.

SHOULD THE FWC CONTINUE?

The newly created Southern Branch had no scholarship programs, nor a facility for social life and networking to support the faculty. FWC saw this need and filled this gap. There were 63 women faculty, 35 male faculty, and 1,375 students to support in various ways. The FWC voted to offer membership not only to women faculty, but also to faculty wives. Venues moved from the FWC Clubhouse on the Vermont campus to UCLA's Women's Gym, to Kerckhoff Hall, and later to the Faculty Center in Westwood Village (February 1959). As one of the founding groups, FWC has a representative on the Faculty Center Board of Governors.

Fundraising galas were held for the Faculty Center in Westwood:
"Put your hearts in Your Faculty Club Building"

The raised fund for the Faculty Center building had a total of $29,525 of which UCLA FWC contributed $4,303 (with UCLA Faculty Women $2,075, and faculty administration and staff $23,147).

Our Fifth General Meeting on April 17, 2018 celebrates our Centennial Program that is detailed in the UPDATE April 2018 issue.

December 20th 2017 was our Music Section "Sing-Along" FEST: We invited, besides all music section members, those participating in Book and Play-reading sections, as well as the FWC Board along with husbands. It was a successful celebration We started off socializing over delicious potluck gathering, then we sang, even danced. The hosts were Jarka and Tom Wilcox.

Shirley Ho, our Music Section soprano, started the music program with two Christmas carols, followed by the "Sing-Along" part of the program. Shirley will be the hostess for our February 2018 music section gathering, to be held at her home. 

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS started off in 1936 with a seed contribution of $25.00 to the Scholarship Foundation. The Scholarship endowment is currently over $401,000 and growing. It has supported 201 UCLA students from 2001 to 2018 with a total of $364,600. We celebrate FWC recipients annually at the FWC Scholarship dinner award events. 

The Centennial 2018 Scholarship Dinner was a successful event, thanks to a team of hardworking FWC members: Joy Frank, Marjorie Friedlander, Shirley Ho, Barbara Lippe, Mary Cerrito, and Jaroslava Wilcox. 

A special thanks go to The Ho Family who generously contributed to the Scholarship Fund in memory of Shou-Nan Hsing Chang, Shirley's mother who passed away in 2017. 

The FWC Scholarship recipients included 2 at a graduate level and 10 undergraduates (photographed below). Each student gave a brief introduction about their work. It was a festive celebration of the FWC Scholarship Program and a great start of the Centennial Year.

Our Third General Meeting, the FWC Scholarship Dinner on February 6, 2018, was well attended. The speaker was Dr. Kelsey C. Martin, the first woman dean of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. 

Dr. Barbara Crandall, FWC Board member, chats with Dean Martin during a pre-dinner social

Dr. Martin's career path was demonstrated in her presentation "Lessons in Leadership: Peace Corps, Memory Research, and Medical Education."

She started off majoring in English and American language and literature at Harvard University. After having served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Zaire to set up a public health program, she experience an AHA moment, which led her to the MD/PHD program at Yale University and postdoc training in neurobiology with Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel at Columbia University. She joined the UCLA faculty in 1999. 

We now turn a few years back when we welcomed Dr. Verna Porter, once our own Scholarship recipient!

GENERAL PROGRAMS represent one of the three essential prongs of the UCLA Faculty Women's Club activities. Since 1934 we have had 473 general meetings. In 2000 Phyllis Amboss wrote dates, names of speakers, and program titles for each general meeting as published in UPDATE. In 2016, Pat Hardwick and Charlotte Brown produced "General Meeting Summaries 1920-2015," and "Historic Timelines 1918-2008."

For the FWC Centennial Year, Zorana Ercegovac has created condensed timelines: "FWC on One Sheet: Wrapping Up Essential Achievements Since 1918," and "The Story of the UCLA Faculty Women's Club: A Condensed Timeline." This serves as a reminder of our collective memory, HONORING OUR PAST. It is also a Table of Content for the April 2018 General Meeting when Zorana will expand this Timeline in her Multimedia Album Honoring FWC Through 100 Voices, Stories, and Images.

LAPD Sergeant Emada Tingirides was our October 2017 speaker 

We started off our Centennial Year with a presentation by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Sergeant Emada Tingirides and her husband Capt. Phil Tingirides. Sgt. Emada Tingirides is the recipient of The FWC 2017 Woman of Distinction Award. Phil (operating the projector, in the photo above) gave us historical overview of their many initiatives that are iconic in LAPD and in other nation-wide multi-agency districts.

The October 2017 General Meeting, held at the Faculty Center, was attended by Section Chairs who showcased our programs and recruited new members.
