We were also honored to receive a congratulatory message from UB President Satish Tripathi before the performance.<\/p>\n<p>I can only imagine what Grace Capen would think if she could see how the organization she founded 80 years ago has grown and flourished. Throughout the years, the UB Women\u2019s Club has enriched the lives of countless students in many ways, including through the academic award that proudly bears her name.<\/p>\n<p>As we begin our next chapter, I encourage you to take a look at our exciting Program Calendar. Vice President Vicki Pappas has planned an outstanding lineup of luncheons and special events. Our Fall Luncheon is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with friends, welcome new members, and sign up for the many activities that help make our club such a vibrant community.<\/p>\n<p>I also encourage you to consider becoming more involved in a leadership role as an officer or committee chair. Serving the club in a variety of capacities has been one of the most rewarding and inspiring experiences of my membership. Working alongside such talented and dedicated women has truly been a privilege.<\/p>\n<p>As we celebrate all we have accomplished together, I know we are all looking forward to the next 80 years!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Sue D\u2019Angelo<\/span><\/strong> (716) 908-2370<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold\">View our <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold\" href=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/ubwomensclub\/home\/\">Photo Gallery<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>UB Women&#8217;s Club<br \/>\n\u00a92021 University at Buffalo.
