Wow! Here it is, 2015! It's certainly true, "time flies when you’re having fun!" Fun in December was the wonderful Madrigal Dinner with great music from the Grateful Divas, lute, and trumpets. Merlin the Magician and Jo-Jo the Jester mystified us all with their magic. The harvest feast was truly scrumptious and did satisfy the most discerning palate. Guests were privileged to be seated at beautifully decorated tables complete with programs and hand crafted souvenir medallions. What a very special evening! Then you were invited to celebrate the beginning of this year at our New Year's Eve Party. What could be more fun than music, magic, and movies? So of course we had more - delicious food, games, and Champagne! It's such a terrific tradition to watch the ball drop in Times Square and toast the New Year with kisses and champagne. This month the UWC Speaker Series Lunch is proud to present Perry Metz! Perry will give us an insiders look on the world of public television and radio. As soon as we kick into February we are treated to a Super Bowl Party complete with a gourmet deli. Don't miss cheering for your favorite team with your friends as you watch the game on our big screen!

A pink carnation means affection, while a red carnation means 'I love you.' White carnations mean pure love, striped carnations means regret that a love is not shared, and yellow means rejection or disappointment. The other January flower is the snowdrop, which used to be considered bad luck due to the fact that it would always seem to appear to grow in and near graveyards. Nowadays, it signifies hope and beauty. COUNTRY LINE DANCE PARTY! With professional line dance instructor! Polish up yer Boots & SAVE THE DATE!

January 13—Russia and the Near Abroad As calls for closer ties with the EU failed to be met, Ukrainians took to the streets in in November 2013. As the movement later known as the Euromaidan, or “Euro Square,” pulled western Ukraine closer to its European neighbors, another powerful force threatened to tear away the country’s eastern half: Russia. Putin’s pushback against European expansionism has the West wondering: If Putin’s Russia isn’t afraid to take an aggressive stance against Europeanization in Ukraine, what does that mean for the rest of Russia’s neighbors?
