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
