Fall 2018 President’s Message
Greetings Dear members, hope you had a wonderful summer.
We’d like to welcome you to a new year of great events and gathering. My name is Mitra Nafisi. Sheila Pouraghabagher and I are the new Co-Presidents of the Cal Poly Women’s Club. We are sure proud to be accompanied by these amazing group of women and excited about where we are headed. This is our first newsletter of the 2018-19 that contains an overview of our activities and calendar of events. Your Board of Directors have met during summer to plan events and activities to bring a fun and productive year to our club. We’d like to thank them for their time and their contributions. We are very pleased to welcome you and look forward to seeing you all in our Annual Fall Reception, cordially hosted by Sharon Armstrong on Saturday, September 15, 2018 from 10:00 to 12:00 noon at her campus residence.
Sincerely,
Mitra Nafisi and Sheila Pouraghabagher
