Hot Off the Press: Winter 2026 FAB Chronicles!
Our Winter 2026 edition of the FAB Chronicles has been emailed to all members and is available on the Website. Immigration is the focus for this issue: its legislative history in the U.S.; an ode to an undocumented immigrant's plight; and the profile of a FAB member whose own experience is a testament to the valuable contributions by immigrants. We also include tributes to four remarkable women we recently lost, as well as a look at FAB activities.
Let us know if there is a topic you would like for us to consider.

New Members Luncheon Coming Soon!
Mark your calendars: our luncheon for new FAB members is scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026. All members who joined FAB since our last luncheon a year ago, and newish members who were unable to attend the 2025 New Members Luncheon, will soon receive their invitations, which will include details such as time and location.
The New Members Luncheon is a great way to meet other FAB members and learn more about FAB and our many Interest Groups and volunteer opportunities. With over twenty members having joined FAB this past year, the luncheon will no doubt be a lively and enjoyable event. See you there!
Interest Groups
From its earliest days, FAB members have formed special interest groups to meet other FAB members, network, engage in a wide range of enriching and fun activities, and make new friends in the process. We write memoirs; discuss books, movies, and politics; play bridge, Mah Jongg, and Rummikub; gather for lunch at local eateries; explore San Francisco; knit; and more.
Become a member of FAB and then join one of our established interest groups, or start a new group!
Once you join you can find more information on the Interest Groups page in the Member Portal. And because FAB is 100% volunteer-powered, you can also check out our Volunteer Opportunities in the portal.
The Annual FAB Tea
Our marquee member event is the Annual FAB Tea. The Tea is a lighthearted, fun gathering with bountiful buffet, opportunities to see old friends and make new ones, lots of conversation and laughter, and, yes, tea. The event began with a group of 28 women when FAB was founded in 2003, then doubled in number the following year, and has continued to grow ever since. FAB members can view the beautiful Tea invitations from prior years at the Annual FAB Tea page on the FAB Member Portal.
