PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Dear Fellow Members,

Spring in New England has arrived, and the weather continues to be a consistent mystery. Here at the HCB, the weather is forecast to be sunny with comfortable temperatures. We’ve had a great series of member events in April, and May promises to be even more engaging and fun. The Annual Spring Gathering combined with our Annual Meeting was a night of enjoyment and fellowship. Members enjoyed connecting with each other, and there were many new introductions of members who met for the first time. The intergenerational and multi-discipline dynamic was on full display on April 24th. Many thanks to HAA President Allyson Mendenhall ’90, M.L.A. ’99 and HAA Executive Director Sarah Karmon for their conversation about the University, the HAA and the importance of engaging alumni through the HCB and other Harvard alumni clubs. Congratulations to Sarah and Debbie Millin, gb’22 amp on being elected to our Board of Governors. They are wonderful additions to our club leadership team, and we look forward to their contributions through their time and talents. The evening would not have been a success without the leadership of our General Manager, Steve Cummings, along with the event planning and execution of our Member Experience team, led by Becky Blaeser ’98 and our entire culinary and hospitality team. Last but not least, kudos to BOG members Andy Freed ’90, ks’94, Susan Kendall ’81, ks’99 and Marty Grasso ’78 for their creativity which established the inspiration for the evening’s events. Great job by all involved.

Last week, I had a conversation with one of our new members – less than a year. It was one of the most

enlightening discussions I’ve had during my first year as president. The person is a faithful Muslim and informed me that Ramadan was ending with a celebration called Eid al-Fitr. “Eid” is a one to three day celebration that marks the end of the prolonged fast of Ramadan. The person mentioned that there are a number of Muslims at our club and asked if it would be possible to acknowledge the holiday in some way at the HCB in the future. A simple mention would be appreciated in the same way we do so for Easter and Passover. I found this request refreshing, and I was grateful that we have created an atmosphere that a member of our community felt comfortable to mention this issue so that we give a sense of belonging to our Muslim members. Recognition is a key component of belonging, and we will incorporate opportunities for that recognition as we become aware of them. We are strengthened by the richness shared individually and collectively through acknowledgement, inclusion and equity.

May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This annual month-long event is an opportunity to celebrate the many contributions and achievements of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. The following are links regarding celebrating AAPI month. https://edib.harvard.edu/dibatharvard#schools https://www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/how-tocelebrate-aapi-heritage-month

One of the most meaningful events on the calendar this month is Commencement at Harvard University. It

is a time to welcome new alumni to our club community. The Class of 2023 - both College and Graduate Schools - receive a one year complementary membership to the HCB. Those who were interested submitted applications immediately. To date, we have a record number of these new members. You will see their faces this month especially during the week of Commencement and the following Alumni Week as they begin to experience our club. Let’s embrace these new members, a year from now they make the decision to remain with us or not. We should all commit ourselves to making the choice easy for them to remain with us. Let’s do our best to welcome them and give them a sense that they belong in our HCB community. Please be sure to check our app or website for a full listing of upcoming events.

Elections for Harvard University Overseers and HAA Elected Directors end on May 16. I am pleased to note that the following HCB members are candidates for Overseer: Jeffrey D. Dunn A.B. ’77, M.B.A. ’81, Arturo Elizondo A.B. ’14 and Vanessa W. Liu A.B. ’96, J.D. ’03. The following member is running for elected director: Anirudh Suri M.P.A. ’14, B.A. ’06, Haverford College; M.B.A. ’12, University of Pennsylvania. To learn more about these three outstanding candidates and the Harvard elections may be found at elections.harvard.edu. This is an important part of Harvard University’s governing process. Please remember to vote.

When members ask what they can do to assist the club, one thing always come to mind. Spread the word, talk to fellow alumni about becoming members and invite them to do so. The most important asset of the Harvard Club of Boston is its members. Many thanks to all of you for choosing to be members of our beloved Club. Your loyalty and support make us thrive as a community, onward together. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact me directly via president@harvardclub.com.

Best regards,

Marcus O. P. DeFlorimonte gb ’95, pmd President, Harvard Club of Boston

GENERAL MANAGER’S LETTER

Dear Harvard Club of Boston Membership:

As we spring into May, it is time to celebrate another graduating class across the river at Harvard and welcome the next generation of Harvard Club members into our community. Our staff is here to create a welcoming environment for everyone and deliver memorable experiences for all when they enter the clubhouse or engage with the club digitally. If you have not done so yet, we encourage you to download the HCB app and login so you easily maximize your membership by registering for events, request a letter of introduction to visit one of our global reciprocal clubs or make a dining reservation at Veritas.

For members who visit the Club and take advantage of the convenience of our parking lot in the rear of the building, effective May 1st, HCB will go cashless. Members can continue to apply parking charges to their HCB Member Accounts. All guests and visitors will be able to pay via credit card only. Cash will no longer be accepted. We appreciate your support of this new initiative and look forward to welcoming you at our Newbury Street entrance.

Over the past few years, we introduced outdoor dining here at the club once the pandemic began. The permitting required for this was allowed by the City of Boston to accommodate local businesses to operate without disruption and make residents feel safe. This summer a new permanent permit approval process has been introduced by the City for this service and we filed for the necessary permit in early February 2023. To date, we have not received an update as to when it will be issued. We are working diligently alongside lawyers, architects and the City to expedite the process and deliver this wonderful dining experience to our members. As soon as we have more information we will communicate it to all of you.

Please feel free to contact me directly at scummings@harvardclub.com or 617-450-8400 if I can be of service to you!

Sincerely,

Steven P. Cummings, CCM, CCE General Manager

AN EVENING WITH AUTHOR & HISTORIAN JOEL RICHARD PAUL JD'82

MAY 3RD | 5:30PM – 7:30PM | PRESIDENT'S ROOM

In Indivisible: Daniel Webster and the Birth of American Nationalism, historian and law professor Joel Richard Paul JD'82 tells the fascinating story of how Daniel Webster, a young New Hampshire attorney turned politician, rose to national prominence through his powerful oratory and unwavering belief in the United States and captured the national imagination. As he did in Without Precedent and Unlikely Allies, Joel Richard Paul has – through the pages of Indivisible –delivered "...a tour de force of compact narrative..." ~ Wall Street Journal

On May 3rd, Joel Richard Paul will be making a special trip to HCB from the West Coast to dazzle us with his compelling history and account of one of the founders of our national perspective. He will talk to us about Webster - the greatest orator of his age – who saw his speeches and writings published widely, and his stirring rhetoric convinced Americans to see themselves differently, as a nation bound together by a government of laws, not parochial interests. As these ideas took root, they influenced future leaders, among them Abraham Lincoln, who drew on them to hold the nation together during the Civil War.

This event is offered at no charge as a benefit of your membership. Registration is required.

"ARMENIAN ART: THE POWER OF BEING IN BETWEEN" WITH CHRISTINA MARANCI

MAY 11TH | 12:00PM – 1:00PM |

VIRTUAL EVENT

“As the first woman, the first person of Armenian descent, and the first art historian to hold the position, she brings a fresh perspective to the Harvard chair.” – The Armenian Mirror Spectator

Join HCB members across the globe for an exclusive virtual Faculty Lecture with Christina Maranci, Mashtots Professor of Armenian Studies, Harvard University.

Being wedged between superpowers might seem like a recipe for ethnic assimilation and cultural conformity. Yet what if it made you stronger? In the case of Armenia, being “in-between” led to a vibrant, diverse, and resilient culture, a distinctive religious and national identity, and a dynamic diaspora, which we will trace from antiquity to modernity.

STREETS OF GOLD: AMERICA’S UNTOLD STORY OF IMMIGRANT SUCCESS

MAY 12TH | 8:00AM – 9:00AM |

The featured selection this month will be Streets of Gold: America’s Untold Story of Immigrant Success by Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan, which was named by Forbes as one of "Best Business Books of 2022".

Immigration is one of the most fraught, and possibly most misunderstood, topics in American social discourse—yet, in most cases, the things we believe about immigration are based largely on myth, not facts. Using powerful story-telling and unprecedented research employing big data and algorithms, Abramitzky and Boustan are like dedicated family genealogists but millions of times over. They provide a new take on American history with surprising results, especially how comparable the “golden era” of immigration is to today, and why many current policy proposals are so misguided.

This virtual event is offered at no charge as a benefit of your membership.
