University Women of BGSU to hold annual holiday party and raise money for families in need

University Women of BGSU will hold their annual holiday party at the home of Dr. Roger and Mrs. Barbara Sanchez on Friday, Dec. 13, at 6:30 p.m. The evening of food, entertainment and fellowship is one of the main events of UW’s annual calendar.

Live holiday music will be provided by pianist Michael Peslikis. University Women’s group “TOOTs” (The Out Of Tuners) led by Jo Ascunce will also perform.

The holiday party is also a way to raise money to help families in need. This year UW members will adopt five families, who have been recommended by the Salvation Army, for their annual Holiday Basket project. Anne Bullerjahn, UW’s community service chairman, and her committee will deliver the food, presents and books to the families before Christmas.

Monetary gifts can be brought to the Sanchez home on the night of the party or can be mailed directly to Anne Bullerjahn. Checks should be made out to Anne Bullerjahn.

University Women is open to all women and new members are welcome. For information about UW and the many special interest groups go to www.universitywomenofbgsu.com

The 2024–2025 University Women president is Lee A. Field-Starks.
