Tuesday Club

Directions

Tuesday Club Tuesday Club is the oldest organization in River Falls, WI. Luncheons are the third Tuesday of each month. John Q.

Tuesday Club is a local organization founded in 1890 by Mrs. Emery (Marie Theresa), wife of the president of the River Falls Normal School. (now UW-RF) The group was originally formed to provide an opportunity for “the study of history, literature and art.” In 1906, the following was added to the club objective: “…and the promotion of any cause which the Club shall deem wise and good.” Tuesday Club has been a long-time supporter of the Public Library and in recent years, has spread its support to Turningpoint for Victims of Domestic Abuse shelter and a scholarship for a female non-traditional student at UW-RF. While the Tuesday Club members do some fundraising each year in order to support these causes, the focus remains on providing an educational, inspirational or entertaining program each month, and of course, eating!

This Month’s Program: A Trip to the Library! 📚
Join us this month (October 20th) for a fun and informative tour of the library. We’ll meet at the library at 11:30 a.m. for lunch, followed by our tour.

🍽️ Lunch: We’ll be enjoying a box lunch from Jr’s. Please be sure to respond to the email with your sandwich choice. We need your response so we know what to order—and unfortunately, the sandwiches don’t come with a mind-reading feature! 😄

Important: Only those who respond will have a meal reserved. Please respond Yes or No regarding your attendance along with your lunch choice by Friday October 16th.

Once we’ve finished our tour and learned enough to impress our friends with our newfound library knowledge, those who would like to continue the fun can head over to Jr’s for Social Hour.

We hope you can join us for good food, good company, and perhaps a little learning along the way!

Also, If you did not pay your $30 for dues, please do as we need to get our directory printed.

Our September kick-off meeting featured a fantastic presentation from Marshall Skulle on Among Friends RF, an incredible Social Dementia Respite Program dedicated to older adults experiencing memory loss and their caregivers.

Marshall shared how their vibrant mix of music, arts and crafts, yoga, games, and field trips brings joy to participants (friends) while giving caregivers a much-needed break. Hearing firsthand examples of how much "Friends" love these activities—and how deeply grateful caregivers are for the support—was truly inspiring.

A huge thank-you to Marshall for showing us the heart behind Among Friends RF and the wonderful impact they make in our community!

Some other quick items that came up at our May meeting that will also be noted in the fall!

We will encourage you to be at Juniors at 11:30 so we can make sure we all get through the line in time for the speaker to start. We often have our other meeting agenda items after that. We also will have two lines on each side of the serving tables.

Our lunch will continue to be $22 which includes the meal, coffee, soda, or water, taxes, tip and donation to our philanthropy efforts.

Because of the need to have an accurate headcount for meals, if there is no RSVP that you will be coming to the meeting, made to your contact person, you will pay $10 for the speaker and can order/pay for a meal off the menu. We also encourage you to become a member after a visit to our meeting, as that is often where money for the speaker and so many other costs come from.

We have several new people who are taking over the officer positions for next year! Thank you for all of you that volunteered! It’s a very worthwhile women’s club that has been following in its history for more than 100 years! We do some really great things with with the funds that we raise, including money towards the RF Library, Turningpoint Domestic Abuse shelter, and a scholarship for a non-traditional UWRF Student.  Plus every month we have a speaker, usually with a connection to the community. And a wonderful lunch prepared by Juniors.

Thank you for wearing your hats! A big thank you to Sal, Judy S and Sal’s sister, for the cute hat pins that were at our table spots!

Our speaker for the 2026 May meeting was David C. Zlesak, Ph.D.,
Professor of Horticulture, of the
UWRF Plant and Earth Science Department.

He gave a very funny and entertaining presentation on the cultivation of the native Ninebark, which he has been working on over the last several decades. It was exciting to hear how he developed his plant -the Ninebark Little Devil. Just like a proud father, he explained different plants that he crossed in order to get this hybrid in 2011. There are many other ninebarks that are different colors, heights, have different resistance to disease, and the choice for names!

David was so thoughtful to bring two plants to give away to two Tuesday Club members. And made the very generous choice to donate his gratuity for speaking, back to Tuesday Club. Thank you so very much for your generosity!

Please check out the ninebark varieties at Baileys’ Greenhouse and some other garden stores! Once you see the different versions, you may also see them out in our community like at Culver’s! They are drought tolerant and no, does not peel nine times although it does peel!

David has had several of his hybrids of the Ninebark, roses, and hydrangeas win awards for Plant of the Year! When you listen to his passionate and entertaining explanations of how they came about, you can understand why!
What a compliment to our community he is and an asset to the UWRF college community as well!

The idea for paying tribute to our founding members by wearing hats and/or gloves to our May meeting was started last year or the year before.

Our members wore some great hats last year, so don’t forget your hat/gloves tomorrow! We’d love to get some pictures of you!
