Donna Bernard has been installed as the new president of the University Club of Claremont, the club that offers “the most intellectually stimulating luncheon in town.” Dr. Bernard is a former school superintendent.

Mel Boynton is the new vice president, and Wes Hawks, Lucy Lynch and Rich Phillips were elected to the Board of Directors.

The University Club has been a Claremont institution for 93 years. Members and guests enjoy lunch, conversation, and programs on a wide variety of topics on Tuesdays at the Hughes Community Center. Over the years, the club has donated several hundred thousand dollars to outstanding CHS grads and to many local educational and cultural organizations.

The club meets every Tuesday at the Alexander Hughes Community Center, 1700 Danbury Road in Claremont.
