President’s Message
by Betsy Prinz
About seven years ago I recall asking Jan Fritz if she was “nuts” to accept the nomination for President of the
Woman’s Club. Five years later, when Jan asked me to step in after the death of Flip Weber, my first reaction
was, again, “are you nuts?” But Jan Fritz is a good talker, so without too much arm-twisting she convinced
me that I should say yes. So I did. And I’m very happy that I did. The past 21 months, serving as President,
have been rewarding in so many ways.
Being involved at the board level and participating with individual committees as an ex officio member
cemented my knowledge that the WCW is comprised of intelligent, creative, responsible women who, by the
way, also have a ton of fun while carrying out Club business.
Because of the fact that I was around the Club so much (!), I came to know many more members than I had previously. Although
I hardly know everyone, it is exciting to be acquainted with more members and know something about their families and interests.
It’s the combination of all of our personalities, our strengths, and our shortcomings that makes the WCW a warm and wonderful
membership.
I have learned that the staff of the WCW will and can do anything and everything to satisfy every member’s slightest wish. The staff
is a competent, cheerful, dependable group of women and men. It has been my pleasure and good fortune to come to know them
better. And, of course, the past years have been rewarding because of the initiatives we have begun, the accomplishments we have
made, and the celebrations we have shared with one another.
To sum up, I have had a most agreeable 21 months and can tell Joan Bruce, in all sincerity, that being President of the Woman’s Club
of Wisconsin is a great job!
From the Treasurer... Farewell to Board Duties
by Carole Montgomery
I have enjoyed being involved with wonderful board members for four years. Now I am glad it is time for
change and grateful that someone else is stepping up.
I love the Club. I will cut back other expenses in order to maintain my active membership as long as I can
possibly fund it. I want the Club to still be here, in our own clubhouse, with a kitchen and dining room,
with wonderful staff, for the rest of my life and beyond.
Please continue to invite potential members, grown sons and daughters, grown grandchildren, new
neighbors. Encourage pride in membership. The cost is less than most clubs in town, and there are more
social and volunteer activities than ever. Be proud of the tradition started 141 years ago for learning and
social mission, a tradition that has carried through all of these years, through the great depression and world wars and changing
society and lifestyles.
Join me in adding a WCW building support fund to your estate plan. And if you are in a reduced-rate membership category,
appreciate the fact that members in the “Active” category have helped to make that possible.
I ask each of you to look deep into your hearts. Help us all save the tradition and the opportunities here. Love the Club.

Did You Know...?
by Mary Ann Beaumont, for the Finance Committee
• Monthly billing statements are available to members via email. Just inform the Club office that you’d
like to receive yours this way and voila! – they will appear each month. (A number of members already
enjoy this method.)
The advantages:
You will have the information earlier and can plan your payments accordingly.
If you need a hard copy, you can print it yourself.
But, best of all, you will be saving the Club a good deal of expense – paper, envelopes, printing,
postage, and staff time. Over the course of a year, this is estimated to amount to a total of $35 per
member. Multiply that by the number of members and you’ll realize what a significant help this can
be to the WCW budget!
• The newsletter, which is published every two months, is available on the Club’s website. If you don’t
want one mailed to you, the office can arrange that too.
The advantages:
You will have access to the newsletter immediately upon its completion. On the day it goes to the
printer, an email is sent to all members with email addresses on file, announcing its availability,
with a link to its page on the website.
One click will bring it up for you to peruse instantly. If you want a hard copy, you can print it in its
entirety, just a page, a few items for reminders, or the calendar pages alone.
You can also save it to your computer, so that you have instant access at any time. How convenient
is that?
And, of course, there are also advantages for the Club’s bottom line.
We’re all interested in maintaining the financial stability of the Woman’s Club of Wisconsin. These are just
a few ways (in addition to using the Club often for activities, events, meetings, and dining) that each of us
can contribute to that goal.

Travel News
by Judy Keyes
The South of Italy: October 17 – 28, 2017
The Woman’s Club travel group will be touring a beautiful area of Italy not often seen by tourists: the region of Apulia on the
southeast coast of Italy known as “the heel of the boot.” Arriving in Bari, the capital of Apulia, we will have a half-day tour of the
UNESCO World Heritage Site of Matera. This area traces its history back to the Paleolithic Era when the first inhabitants lived in
these caves. Another UNESCO World Heritage Site on the itinerary is Alberobello, famous for its conical “trulli” dwellings. The
beautiful city of Ostuni features a tumble of whitewashed houses perched strategically atop a hill.
We will check in for three days at the Grand Hotel Lecce. The town of Lecce, once an important center of the Roman Empire, is now
known as “ the Florence of the south” due to its baroque architecture. Otranto, a historic seaside town and port on the Adriatic Coast;
Leuca, a town on the seaside edge of Puglia; and the medieval village of Specchia, which has been ranked among the “most beautiful
villages in Italy,” are other sights we will visit from Lecce.
A stop on the private coach transfer to the western coast of Italy will be at Paestum, featuring some of the best-preserved examples
of Greek architecture outside of Greece. From our Sorrento hotel, we will spend three days touring the Amalfi coast with stops in the
villages of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello as well as excursions to the Isle of Capri, Pompeii, and Naples. In Naples, we will have a
guided tour of the renowned Naples Archaeological Museum.
There are just a few spots left for this trip. If you (alone or along with a spouse, sister, etc.) would like to join the trip, check first
with Karen Bergenthal (414.899.6450) for availability.
Tour of Forest Home Cemetery
Wednesday, June 21
8:45 AM Breakfast at WCW
9:45 AM Carpools depart
by Pam Thickens
Soon after the city of Milwaukee was incorporated in 1846, civic leaders began searching for a place where local residents could
count on eternal peace. They found 72 gently rolling and forested acres that, although “far” from town, were accessible by the
new Janesville Plank Road. The land was acquired, and the cemetery was named Forest Home.
Today, Forest Home embraces 200 acres of dignified beauty and contains more undeveloped land than the total area of most
cemeteries in the United States. It contains beautiful statuary and the final resting place of many of the city’s famed beer barons,
politicians, and social elite, including 16 of the 18 charter members of the Woman’s Club and multiple past presidents.
Combining with our 140th Anniversary, Anita Pietrykowski, historian at Forest Home, has done extensive biographical research
on our illustrious past members and will share it with us on a guided tour. It is a 90-minute, mile-and-a-half tour over rough
terrain, so wear comfortable, sturdy, well-heeled walking shoes.
When you RSVP, note whether you need a ride or if you would be willing to provide rides to Forest Home Cemetery.

Jane Eyre is a coming of age story in
the Victorian age. She has the feminist
view that women are equal to men, and
her relationships with three of the main
male characters are shown to us through
her private thoughts. Charlotte Bronte is
the first to use this technique of character
development. The Rep is concurrently
producing the play by the same name. Leda
Hoffman, Director of Community Relations for
the Rep, will be bringing two actors from this
production to help us discuss the novel.

Vicky Hinshaw leads us in a discussion of Emma
and gave us this information:
Jane Austen’s life ended at the age of just 41

we will discuss one of her most loved novels,
Emma. Whether you have read it recently or
just enjoyed one of the film versions, join us to
talk about the heroine that Miss Austen feared
no one but herself “would much like.”

American History Study Group

Friday, May 12
8:30 AM a la carte breakfast
Women left a much smaller footprint than men in 17th century
American history. But they were not silent. On May 12 we get
into the heads, hearts, and spirits of these early pioneers, using
several books as our guide. Pick a book (or more), all written
by and about women, and join our discussion.
Michelle Coughlin describes One Colonial Woman’s World:
The Life and Writings of Mehetabel Chandler Coit; Charlotte
Gordon presents the first American poet in Mistress Bradstreet;
Missy Wolfe brings John Winthrop’s daughter-in-law Elizabeth
to life in Insubordinate Spirit: A True Story of Life and Loss
in Earliest America 1610-1665; and Mary Beth Norton was a
Pulitzer finalist for Founding Mothers & Fathers: Gendered
Power and the Forming of American Society.
Participants might also enjoy reading (free online) Sarah
Kemble Knight’s The Private Journal of a Journey
from Boston to New York in the Year 1704 and/or Mary
Rowlandson’s The Sovereignty and Goodness of God, a
captivity narrative that became a bestseller when published in
1682.
In July we wrap up our study of the 17th century by learning
more about the century’s “worlds of wonder” and the
witchcraft scare. That month we will also reveal our 20172018 study focus, so stay tuned.…..

Essential Oils 101
Introduction to Wisconsin Native
Plants
Tuesday, May 16
11:30 AM social
Noon lunch
Program to follow
Essential oils are enjoying a
revival of interest and use at
present. They have enhanced lives for thousands of years,
offering a variety of benefits from cosmetic and health
benefits to spiritual and religious use. Therapeutic benefits
include mood elevation and stress relief.
These naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds are
found in the seeds, bark, stems, flowers, and other parts of
plants. Extracted through careful steam distillation, resin
tapping, and cold pressing, they are the concentrated essence
of a plant. They are called volatile because they change
state quickly from solid or liquid to gas at room temperature.
Their aroma is potent and moves quickly through the air. The
purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals
from which they come.
Join speakers Gwen Koscinski and Mary Poorman, trained oil
educators, wellness advocates, and yoga instructors, to learn
the basic, everyday use of essential oils and the noticeable
benefits they can have on your life and those around you.
They will bring samples and also have some essential oils
available for purchase.

Program to follow
In the last decade, the use of native plants in the landscape is
the hottest topic among experts and homeowners alike. Using
native plants is connected to the principle of sustainability, the
idea that our very survival depends on our natural environment,
whether it’s how we control pollination or the choices we make
when planting something in our yards. Wisconsin native plants
were already here before European settlement began in the 1820s.
They have spent thousands of years adapting to the extremes of
the Wisconsin climate, and providing food and shelter to native
insects, birds, and mammals. Prime examples are Milkweed,
Musclewood, Witchhazel, Prairie Smoke (pictured), and Compass
Plants. As we have lost more and more natural habitat, gardeners
have a new appreciation of native plants. They are fashionable
staples, classics that never go out of style.
Our speaker, Carrie Hennessy, has been with Johnson’s Nursery
in Menomonee Falls since 2008. She is currently a Horticulturist/
Landscape Designer there. Carrie is well known for Johnson’s
Nursery’s online web series “The Dirt with Carrie Hennessy” and
“Carrie’s Quick Tips.” She is a frequent speaker at garden clubs
and Art in Bloom.
