LUNCHEON PROGRAM – Linda Ulbrich, PHD candidate History Dept UCSC

Our speaker for this month will be Linda Ulbrich. Linda is a PhD candidate in the History Department at UCSC. Her research has taken her to London in past years to uncover British nurses’ emotional experiences and memory-making of the First World War through analysis of their diaries, photo albums, and fundraising activities. This past summer, Linda was awarded a Public Fellowship through UCSC’s The Humanities Institute to work in partnership with the City of Santa Cruz. Linda was hired to create a new visual timeline to replace the old Santa Cruz history page on the city’s website.  She was tasked with coming up with the 25 most significant events in Santa Cruz history.  She will discuss the events that were chosen and the ones that were reviewed but not selected.   The new timeline offers a more equitable and engaging snapshot of some of the city’s most impactful historic moments and continues to evolve through input from the public.”

Special Note: The Dave Selner Annual Memorial Fund Drive – “It’s never too late to donate”

As you know we do not collect dues or charge fees to support our branch. Your donations are what keep us financially afloat. Our Treasurer, SIR Rich Hamlin manages our reserve account. It is from this account that we pay our bills and obligations. Often the money we collect for lunch does not cover our costs for using the room, A/V setup and for the number of meals committed to not meeting the minimum expected level. The reserve also pays for supplies, reimbursements to members who incur expenses, speaker fees if required, as well as funds the branch provides to the State Sir organization to pay for insurance and other administrative expenses. Our past fund drives typically have raised around $6,400 with about 75 members out of 100+ contributing an average of $85 (donations range from $25 to $100+). And we use every bit of that. The branch appreciates any amount you are comfortable giving.

Checks should be made out to SIR Branch #104. Please note you can pick up an addressed envelope to mail your donation at the lunch meeting or drop it off at the next lunch you attend. The address for mailing the donations is shown here.
