PRESIDENTS’ OCTOBER MESSAGE!
Summer is over and my favorite season autumn is here with our first Club event-- an absolutely fabulous brunch hosted by Sharon Armstrong! This event differed from our past afternoon receptions and a resounding success! Please join me in a huge “thank you” to Sharon for hosting the brunch and to her staff for their support of the Cal Poly Women’s Club membership and guests! If you attended, you know what a privilege it is to enjoy visiting the President’s campus home and how much we all look forward to this event.
At this year’s brunch, we had a wonderful response to our planned events, as well as our ongoing ASI Children’s Center scholarship fund. Thank you to all who donated including Sharon Armstrong, who asked that our Club “thank you” gift be donated to the ASI award. Additionally, we are working with the Financial Aid Office to award two $1000 scholarships. More on the recipients once they have been notified. Last year’s fundraiser at the the Holiday Party Silent Auction and SLO Little Theater boosted our scholarship fund allowing us to increase the award amount. This year, we will again include a silent auction at our Holiday Party (7 December 2017) and a new fundraising event in February 2018 “Dinner (at the California Pizza Kitchen) and a Movie.” We’ll publish the details in a future newsletter and on our website: http://womensclub.calpoly.edu .
Check out the newest member interest section: Home and Garden (Patrice Iqbal and Blanca Kesner, Chairs), which will include local garden tours. The Professional Women’s Section is trying new ideas. If you have an idea for a meeting, contact Tracy or any Board member. The Occasional Walk Group will tour the Pismo Preserve on Sunday 29 October 2017. A free shuttle service from the Pismo Beach City Gall (760 Mattie Rd., PB) will take us to the trailhead. Details for all this month’s meetings are listed in this newsletter. If you have questions, please contact the Section Chair, Tracy!
Hope to see you at one of our get togethers soon! Also check out our Directory for scheduled events and join us!
Happy Autumn -- Your Co-Presidents,
Val Barboza and Chris Hoover

March 30 Fundraiser:
The Nerd by Larry Shue
One of the funniest plays ever written, this extraordinarily inventive, side- splitting comedy centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is
visited by a man he’s never met, but who saved his life in Vietnam. This strange visitor turns out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid “nerd” who outstays his welcome with a vengeance.
Do you have your tickets?
Contact a Board member to reserve your tickets for will call at the SLO Little Theater the evening of the performance. Mitra, Sheila, Alice, Chris, Tracy, Elaine and Val have tickets! mnafisi@calpoly.edu , sheilaangel91947@yahoo.com, aloh@calpoly.edu, chrish734@aol.com , tkinderk@calpoly.edu , emrdmom@yahoo.com , vbarboza@calpoly.edu
The doors open at 5:30 PM and the performance begins at 7 PM. The Cal Poly Women’s Club thanks the SLO Little Theater (www.slolittletheter.org ) for their support of the dress rehearsal performance ticket sales. Hope to see you there!
Details about this award-winning Larry Shue play may also be available on our new and improved website: http://womensclub.calpoly.edu which is still a work-in-progress. Check it out! Thank you Tracy!

new opportunities for our membership including a new walking section for all members and their families. “City tours” can include walks through the historic sections of SLO or could be a hiking group.

Step up and let’s reignite this section with a card game group. Contact Mei-Ling Liu for more information.

Our holiday party and silent auction at the SLO Country Club was attended by over 50 guests! Silent auction items included donations of wine, jewelry, quilts and El Corral

We can’t believe how quickly this year has passed and how much we’ve accomplished as a Club. Here’s a quick review:
1. Our Club has been able to receive funding and support to update our technology and access using a Cal Poly email address and website. Tracy Kinderknecht, our Secretary, is taking classes for use of the website for Club news and updates.
2. The new Cal Poly Women’s Club Van Asperen Scholarship endowment is almost a reality and
will award a student with a teaching objective in about a year.
3. Our interest sections are revamping and looking for new ways to better engage our
members. For example, the Morning Gourmet group is now the Lunch Bunch and will meet for lunch at a local restaurant, member’s home or a surprise location monthly at 11:30AM -
1:30PM. We hope on-campus members will better be able to join us.
4. A new walking group begins Saturday, January 28th for a “city tour.” Families, strollers are welcome! Depending on the group, an optional brown bag lunch or restaurant may follow the walk. Route and time details will be in the January newsletter.
Our Holiday dinner at the San Luis Obispo Country Club is also right around the corner. The RSVP form is in this newsletter with various dinner choices. This year the committee is organizing a silent auction during the social hour with the proceeds benefitting our scholarship fund. If you would like to donate an item for the auction, please contact Cari Moore, Rebecca Heath or Pauline Menon. The evening will also include entertainment!
As the year concludes, we are all thankful for your support and appreciate your continued membership. As members, your feedback and involvement have made the Club stronger and more vital. Both of us look forward to seeing you at one or all of our Club events!
Best,
Chris Hoover & Val Barboza

5. 2016-17 Scholarship Recipients 
My name is Magdalena Arechiga. I am from Ventura and transferred to
Cal Poly Fall 2014. My major is Kinesiology and if all goes as planned I will be graduating on December 17, 2016. Before coming to Cal Poly, I was a para-educator at a school for children with moderate to severe special needs for 14 years. It is there that I was introduced to the many services that are provided to individuals with special needs and became interested in physical therapy. My goal is to become a physical therapist and continue to work with individuals with special needs in hopes of improving their activities of daily living. I don't think I landed in this field by chance, I truly believe that this is where I belong and where I can make a positive impact on people's lives. Here in San Luis Obispo, I work at the Office of the Registrar
and also work with a 7-yr old girl with cerebral palsy. I am so grateful for receiving this scholarship from the Cal Poly Women's Club as this has greatly contributed to the success of my last quarter here at Cal Poly. From the bottom of my heart I thank you.
My name is Kiana Nafisi and
I am a Business Administration major with a double concentration in Accounting and Information Systems. I am a Senior and will be graduating in Spring 2017. After graduation, I will be starting my career in consulting where I will learn the ins and outs of businesses and how to run one efficiently. I hope to use these skills to create my own business in the future.
Elsa Ruiz is a second year CPWC scholarship recipient. Elsa’s major is Kinesiology. This is the
note we received from Elsa: “I just wanted to express my appreciation and say thank you for rewarding me with the scholarship for this upcoming school year. It means so much to me to know that individuals such as yourselves appreciate and understand how much work and dedication I put into my schooling. This generous scholarship will enable me to purchase my textbooks for the entire year and for that I want to say thank you. My education is a major priority in my life and I immensely appreciate you supporting me in my efforts to continually
We can’t believe how quickly this year has passed and how much we’ve accomplished as a Club. Here’s a quick review:
1. Our Club has been able to receive funding and support to update our technology and access using a Cal Poly email address and website. Tracy Kinderknecht, our Secretary, is taking classes for use of the website for Club news and updates.
2. The new Cal Poly Women’s Club Van Asperen Scholarship endowment is almost a reality and
will award a student with a teaching objective in about a year.
3. Our interest sections are revamping and looking for new ways to better engage our
members. For example, the Morning Gourmet group is now the Lunch Bunch and will meet for lunch at a local restaurant, member’s home or a surprise location monthly at 11:30AM -
1:30PM. We hope on-campus members will better be able to join us.
4. A new walking group begins Saturday, January 28th for a “city tour.” Families, strollers are welcome! Depending on the group, an optional brown bag lunch or restaurant may follow the walk. Route and time details will be in the January newsletter.
Our Holiday dinner at the San Luis Obispo Country Club is also right around the corner. The RSVP form is in this newsletter with various dinner choices. This year the committee is organizing a silent auction during the social hour with the proceeds benefitting our scholarship fund. If you would like to donate an item for the auction, please contact Cari Moore, Rebecca Heath or Pauline Menon. The evening will also include entertainment!
As the year concludes, we are all thankful for your support and appreciate your continued membership. As members, your feedback and involvement have made the Club stronger and more vital. Both of us look forward to seeing you at one or all of our Club events!
Best,
Chris Hoover & Val Barboza
