VANDERBILT

WOMAN’S CLUB

President’s message Greetings, all! November already? In just over a week we begin the penultimate month of the year! October has been a busy month for our Club. We had a lovely fall brunch at the Scarritt-Bennett Center yesterday. Established in Nashville in 1924 as the Scarritt College for Christian Workers, the school trained women missionaries. My aunt Sarah was one of them! When the college closed in 1988, the Scarritt-Bennett Center was created, and it is a gem of collegiate gothic architecture, nestled in the heart of Nashville on 10 tree-filled acres—a perfect setting for our fall event. Many thanks to our indefatigable Hospitality Chair, Kendra Holroyd, for scouting this venue and planning our delicious brunch.

Throughout this past summer, our Community Explorer Chair, Anne Manner, was hard at work planning interesting trips for us to take this year. This picture was taken on September 28th during our outing to The Hermitage, Andrew Jackson’s Tennessee home. We were greeted by our own Pam King (VP of Development at The Hermitage), who is a wealth of information about Jackson and the American history of his time. Book Group Two members had just finished Jon Meacham’s American Lion, and were eager to see the home of our “born for a storm” seventh president. Pam treated us to a wonderful introduction to the Hermitage and surprised us with lovely playing card gift sets for everyone. In October Explorers visited the Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery and the City Cemetery for the Living History tour, and we have more fun trips in store. Go, Anne!

Our first VWC Lecture is coming up on November 12th with the dynamic Chris Slobogin (Vanderbilt Law), so you’ll want to be sure to sign up with Kelly Chambers

(kellychambers420@yahoo.com) as well as order lunch (form is on page nine). Chris is a wonderful speaker and long-time supporter of the Club; you won’t want to miss his lecture. Enjoy the glorious autumn weather, and I’ll see you soon!

The Vanderbilt Woman’s Club acknowledges the late Margaret Branscomb, wife of Chancellor Harvie Branscomb,

,for the major plantings of the magnolia trees on campus and honors her in the naming of the newsletter.

The Vanderbilt Woman’s Club brings together the women of Vanderbilt University; provides an opportunity for intellectual, cultural and social activities within the community and the University; supports and assists the mission of the University; and

sponsors the Vanderbilt Woman’s Club Stapleton/Weaver Endowed Scholarship through fundraising.
