Are spouses or partners welcome? Is there a section fee? There are several sections, such as cooking and wine tasting, that welcome members and their spouse/partner to participate. Spouses or partners are welcome to join FWC and to participate directly in sections. In general, there is no additional charge for section participation; if there is a small section fee, it is used to defray section expenses. Sections in their descriptions list fees if applicable.

How do you join a section? Members may join a section at any time. Contact the Interest Sections Chair (FWC.InterestSections@umich.edu) or use the inquiry form under Contact Us. Each year FWC holds a fall gathering and section chairs or representatives are available to describe sections and recruit new members.

How are new interest sections formed? The sections are a dynamic, ever-changing facet of FWC. New sections can be formed when as few as ten members petition the FWC Board; old sections disband as interest wanes. Contact the Interest Sections Chair (FWC.InterestSections@umich.edu) for more information.
