Or when itfilled again after we had rearranged the roomto accommodate more members. After all, thisprogram had all the ingredients necessary fora great afternoon: thinking about chocolate,talking about chocolate, and tasting chocolate.Lecturer Kristy Leissle, UW-Bothell’s “Dr.Chocolate,” gave a fascinating talk aboutthe social, political and economic impactsof the chocolate industry. Attendees triedwinnowing a cocoa bean or two. ThenLeissle led the group in tasting five kinds ofchocolate, white to dark, from Africa, theCaribbean and South America.After the talk, some members eagerlygathered around Kristy with theirquestions. Others, equally eager,gathered around the wine, coffee andadditional chocolate samples.All in all, the afternoon was a modelUWRA program: some education,some fun, and plenty of time toreconnect with UWRA friendsand colleagues.Clockwise: Participants enjoy the goodies after theevent; white and dark chocolates for sampling;winnowing cocoa beans; “Dr. Chocolate” addresses thecapacity crowd.

In 2016 you gave 20,000 to UWRAFE, and as of midDecember 2017 you have given almost 12,000 more.After the original UW matching funds were exhausted,the Graduate School identified an additional 25,000 inmatching support for gifts received through the end ofDecember, so all 2017 gifts to UWRAFE were credited withthe match.The UWRA Board of Directors and UWRA’s Scholarshipsand Fellowships Committee members are grateful forall of your support for the UWRA Fellowship. This fundprovides financial support, combined with GraduateSchool tuition waivers, to meritorious graduate studentsin aging-related fields.
