NORTH VANCOUVER women
will be among the women from all
over the country attending the Ca-
nadian Federation of University
Women’s national conference be-
ing held in Ottawa next month.

The local representatives are
members of the federation’s North
Vancouver branch, which meets
every second Thursday in Edge-
mont Village’s Highlands United
Church.

Topics to be discussed at the na-
tional conference, which is held
every three years, include pensions
for women seniors and day care.

The federation — formerly call-
ed the University Women’s Club
— is an international organization
of women university graduates
committed to education and par-
ticipation in all aspects of com-
munity fife.

“We are not limited to women’s
issues at all,’ said North Van-
couver membership secretary
Cecilia Doborzynfki.

_ Although the local group has in
the past focused on issues such as
the pornography laws, aging in

women and the National Action
Committee, speakers also cover a
variety of cultural, political and
social topics.

Members also form smaller in-
terest groups. Some of these in-
clude bridge, investment, com-
munity affairs, creative writing, art
appreciation, education study
group and conversational French.
New interest groups evolve as ideas
are put forward.

The branch — which last year
had a membership of 76 women —
is holding its first meeting of the
1988-89 year tomorrow, Sept. 8.
The guest speaker will be from the
Society for Canadian Women in
Science and Technolcgy.

Women who hold an accredited
Canadian or recognized foreign
university degree and are interested
in becoming new members are
welcome to attend.

The meeting will be held at 7
p.m. in the social room of
Highlands United Church, 3255
Edgemont Blvd. For further in-

formation, call Doborzynfki at
