FAU's Baldwin House
Club Kicks Off 30th Anniversary Celebration

BOCA RATON, FL (December 19, 2005) - The University Club of the Florida Atlantic University Foundation held its annual holiday party at the Eleanor R. Baldwin House on the Boca Raton campus. Hosted by FAU President and Mrs. Frank T. Brogan, the event brought together close to 100 members and friends of the University Club for an evening of dinner and dancing.

The University Club, soon to celebrate its 30-year milestone, is a major fundraising organization of the FAU Foundation. In celebration of its impending anniversary year, a large cake was presented to University Club President Alene Brewer, past presidents Regina Vetto, Sarah Bialy and one of the club's founding members Ruth Crabb. Music provided by Sasha added a lively touch to the event.

On March 21, 2006 beginning at 6:30 p.m., the University Club will be sponsoring New York! New York! This black-tie optional dinner dance and auction, to be held at the Royal Fiesta Ballroom in Deerfield Beach, will support scholarships and benefit FAU Libraries. Musical entertainment will be provided by artists Tony Mariano and Barbara Noel. Television personality and philanthropist Bess Myerson will serve as the evening's honorary chair.
