Dear Members,

   It is truly an honor to welcome you to another year with the University of Kentucky Woman’s Club and to serve as your President. As I begin this role, I am reminded of what a special organization we are fortunate to be a part of. For more than 100 years, the UK Woman’s Club has brought women together through friendship, fellowship, shared interests, and a commitment to giving back. I feel incredibly fortunate to now be a small part of that long and special history.

   I have been a member of the Club for the past three years, and during that time I have come to appreciate just how much the friendships and traditions of this organization mean. I was born here in Lexington, grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and eventually found my way back home to Lexington — this time for good. Being part of the UK Woman’s Club has given me another wonderful sense of community here, and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as your President.

   One of the things I love most about our Club is that there truly is something for everyone. Our many interest groups give us opportunities to gather throughout the year — whether around a bridge or Mah Jong table, in a garden, over a good book, sharing a meal, or simply enjoying one another’s company. I encourage you to look through this directory, find something that interests you, and join in. Some of the best friendships begin simply by showing up.

   Just as important is our Club’s long tradition of giving back. Through the generosity and hard work of our members, the UK Woman’s Club has made a meaningful difference in the lives of University of Kentucky students through scholarships and philanthropic efforts. It is a legacy we can all be proud of, and one I look forward to continuing together.

   Most importantly, I want you to know that this is your Club! I welcome your ideas, your suggestions, and your involvement. Please never hesitate to pick up the phone, send me an email, or come find me at one of our gatherings. Whether you have been a member for many years or this is your very first, I want you to feel welcomed, valued, and included.

   Thank you for your membership and for all you do to make the UK Woman’s Club what it is. I am looking forward to a wonderful year together filled with friendship, laughter, fellowship, and, of course, a little fun along the way.

Warmly,

Amy Holman
President
University of Kentucky Woman’s Club
