The Riverside Women\u2019s Club is celebrating their 128th The group is under the California Federation of Women's Clubs, which is under the General Federation of Women's Clubs.\xa0 There are Women\u2019s Clubs all over the United States, and you do not have to be retired to join.\n* The Riverside Women\u2019s club\xa0was formed in 1896 and now has about 62 members. Terri will find out if she gets elected as president of the club in April 2016.\n* Teri was elected to the to serve as membership chair with the club which was honored by earning the coveted SHOE award and is currently\xa0serving as the first Vice President or Dean.\n* The club serves over a hundred charities in the Riverside area.\n* Teri mentioned that she cannot have the club be her entire social life because she doesn\u2019t feel that this is healthy so has outside activities that\xa0she does as well\n* Teri realizes that she needs to balance the time she spends with her social activities, hobbies, and still have time for her family. She schedules time in her calendar so that\xa0she makes time for everything and everyone in her life, including her sister, Barbara Lippert.\n\nAdventure and Travel:\n\n* Teri and her partner travel extensively, mostly throughout the USA since they have a time share. They normally take one big trip a year and 3 smaller trips.\xa0 This definitely helps her get out and do something!\n* Since they have a time share, there are over 300 properties where they can stay, and they enjoy finding new places to visit.\n* Her favorite trip so far was New Orleans. They loved it because of the jazz music, the above-ground cemeteries, and of course\xa0the food.\xa0 Not only do they travel by land, but they are also planning a cruise for September 2016.\n\nVolunteer and Philanthropy:\n\n* Teri found the Women\u2019s Club by going to VolunteerMatch.com\n* Many times you can also find ways to\xa0volunteer by going to your city\u2019s website.\n* Teri\u2019s social life is tied to her volunteer work...
