The UC Davis Quarter Century Club celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, with 237 new members — staff and faculty who hit the 25-year mark in their university employment in the last year — and 64 others who hit the 50-year mark.

All are being honored at this year’s Quarter Century Club annual meeting and dinner, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 23.

“I encourage all new members to join us for a social evening dedicated to welcoming you, to renewing acquaintances, and chatting with long-time friends,” said Cindy Dupree Thompson, the Quarter Century Club’s 2014 president. “We’ve planned an entertaining program and will be giving out some great prizes.” 

This year’s event is being held in Sacramento — a change from having the dinners in Davis. From now on, organizers said, the dinner will alternate between Sacramento and Davis, acknowledging the many Quarter Century Club members whose affiliation is with the UC Davis Health System and who may live in Sacramento or closer to Sacramento than Davis.

This year's dinner will be held at The Center at Twenty-Three Hundred, 2300 Sierra Blvd., Sacramento. Parking is free; complimentary bus transportation will be provided to and from the Davis campus. If your invitation has not arrived, contact Jean Wigglesworth at UC Davis Ceremonies and Special Events, by phone, (530) 754-2011, or email.
