from the president As you have read this year, I honor a past president each month with the individual’s article being posted next to mine and with an invitation to the Board of Governors’ dinner, which is held after our monthly board meeting. My intention is to tie the history of the Club with the present day. Each month, I have the communication department send me the appropriate article for the matching month from the honored president. You will notice a familiar last name with this month’s honored past president. In 2001-02, my brother, Pat Cantwell, was the President. The question of whether he is older or younger, I will leave to members to decide. Reading the October 2001 President’s column was a somber reflection of a tragedy that changed the world. After the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and Flight 93’s crash in the Stoneycreek Township, the country came together as one. Our country was unified, and our support for each other was more compassionate, deliberate and heartfelt. I ask that you take time to reflect on where we were and move forward with the respect for each other that we hold as such a value of the American spirit. Diverse opinions are not negative. From different views and opinions, we can work to a consensus. At the MAC board meetings, I want to hear from the governors with different ideas or suggestions. I enjoy hearing from members about your views and suggestions. This is the members’ Club, and the Board is working to make sure we drive the value that members expect. Let’s reflect back to the October 2001 article and understand that we are all together for a short period of time in this amazing world and should look to the positives in each other. The Missouri Athletic Club is our place
where we can start to rekindle that feeling of spirit. As you walk around your Club, please take time to say hello to your fellow members, greet a guest and thank a staff member. We have more than 2,400 families that can start a tsunami of support for the region by taking this focus both inside and outside of the Club. With thoughts of Sept. 11, 2001, please remember our Veterans Day Commemoration Luncheon on Thursday, Nov. 7 at the Downtown Clubhouse. If you have not registered to attend, please go to the MAC website and sign up. If after the event you are not in awe of the many veterans — some going back to World War II that are in attendance — or are not inspired by listening to one speak at your table, please let me know. I will personally reimburse your lunch cost. To have lunch with a veteran that fought to allow you to have an opinion and be able to openly express it with out fear of retribution is why we honor these heroes. Halloween officially starts the holiday season. No club does the holidays like the MAC. Please make sure you are checking MAC social media platforms for upcoming events and registration links. From the Halloween Trunk and Treat event to the Christmas train display downtown, the Club is a lively and festive place for your holiday season. Be prepared to be pampered by our Platinum staff. The Trulaske Campaign is moving forward. As members, we take for granted the ambiance of the Downtown Clubhouse when you walk into the lobby. I have business meetings with people from around the country that I take into our facility. With out any hesitation the first thing they say is, “Wow, what a place!” The Clubhouse is historic. Since 1903, the leaders of our region
“
have graced our building. You are now the leaders of today. If you have not reviewed the information and contributed to the campaign to restore the outside of our landmark, please do. Our foundation staff will work with you to maximize your investment. On Tuesday, Oct. 15, at the West Clubhouse starting at 5:30 p.m., you will have the opportunity to meet with the Board of Governors, Past Presidents, and the Nominating Committee to discuss a leadership position at the MAC. Maybe you have thought about running for the board but heard rumors of some exuberant cost to do so. Or maybe you are worried about the time commitment will take you away from family and work. Or maybe the election process is complicated, and you don’t know enough people. Drop by 1903 and get answers to your questions and help end some of the myths. It is an honor to be on the board and represent our great membership. Come out and see if now is the time for you to run for the board. Phase Two at our west facility is under construction. Our members have asked for it, and we will deliver. The MAC upgraded workout facilities will be first-class. The Missouri Athletic Club is unique in providing our members with top-of-the-line facilities, clubhouses and events for any occasion. The MAC is you. Continue to make your experience exceptional. Have a great October at your Club. Reach out to someone new, greet a guest and thank a staff member.
Kevin Cantwell, President Missouri Athletic Club
Since 1903, the Missouri Athletic Club's mission has been to be the premier athletic, dining, and social club for business, professional, and civic leaders and their families in the St. Louis region.

PAST PRESIDENT CANTWELL'S COLUMN FROM 2001
Each month, President Cantwell will invite a past president to attend the Board of Governors dinner as his special guest. To illustrate the continuity from past to present, the past president’s column from that month will run alongside the current president’s column in each issue of the Cherry Diamond.

from the general manager Things don’t happen by accident at the Missouri Athletic Club. On Sept. 13, the MAC Board of Governors, lead by President Kevin Cantwell, held its version of the annual board retreat, which took place on the third floor in our Crystal Room. In years past, we have traveled to other Clubs, but this year we elected to stay put and take a really deep dive into the inner workings of the MAC, specifically its vision three and five years down the road. The meeting was also time to focus on ways the board can support the efforts of the staff to achieve our goals and to understand how their goals align with the mission statement of the Club. We kicked the day off with a robust discussion on what the word “premier” means in our mission statement and how it applies across the MAC experience. From there, the staff presentations began, starting with information technology. Director of Technology Rick Garrett, who just celebrated his 27th year with the Club, talked to the board about how the MAC is differentiating itself from other private clubs with the incorporation of the new state-of-the-art spinning studio coming to the West Clubhouse, the installation of fiber TV, bringing on a full-time photographer/ videographer and more. Director of Foundations Cynthia Goudy, who started with us four-plus years ago, walked the board through the creation of her grassroots position. The branding concept of community, culture and tradition was among her first accomplishments, followed by her mission of fundraising “smarter, not harder” for the MAC’s three Foundations. Cynthia has covered a lot of new ground since she started and was instrumental in securing a $200,000 matching gift from the Trulaske Foundation to renovate the south and east elevations of the Downtown Clubhouse. As of the meeting, 68 percent of this Downtown building project goal has been reached as work continues. In his presentation, Director of Membership Rodney Stoyer talked about the value proposition that the MAC provides to
6 F Cherry Diamond F OCT 2019
its members and the community. He noted goals aimed at helping make the Downtown Clubhouse more female-friendly and more appealing to a younger demographic as one of the many topics covered. Director of New Opportunities Najah Fennoy, who has been with the Club for more than five years, took on the business development section of the presentation and informed the board of efforts to create long-term value in the three-bucket areas: Membership, Rooms and Catering by being present, building relationships and staying relevant. Several specific initiatives were highlighted, resulting in spirited and inspired discussion. Director of Marketing Communications Jim Wilson updated the board on the Club’s ongoing communication efforts for members, for the Club’s external audience and for the community. He also shared news about the Club’s social media growth, new video capabilities and the communication department’s continued focus of the Club’s mission statement storylines. Assistant Director of Operations Kate Hunter, who just completed her first year with us and has fresh eyes, went back to the initial exercise and question of what makes the Club “premier.” Kate talked about the dining experiences at the MAC specifically from “an ice cream treat at the pool to an elegant wedding in our magnificent Missouri Room” standpoint. She opined that there are three components in premier dining: having a hospitality-centric team in place, offering creative menus while keeping essentials and favorites, and facilities or ambiance. Chief Financial Officer Pam Roth talked about the Club’s capital improvement priorities for the next three to five years and how to prioritize and enhance members’ experience and to continue attracting and retaining members. The capital plan encompasses all areas of the Club and reaches out 10 years. The capital plan is updated annually as a part of our planning processes. The complete financial road map
is a significant part of our Strategic Plan, which can be found on our website. Pam has been with the MAC for 19 years. The retreat wrapped up with me discussing what the next three to five years look like at the MAC from my perspective. I started my eighth year with the Club in February. We have been through some ups and downs and accomplished several things, but I suggested that our underlying focus on everything we do needs to always be on our finances and shoring up our balance sheets. The Club is on stronger financial ground than a few years back, but we all know there’s going to be recession at some point down the road, and we need to be ready to weather that storm. While we’ve got some time and good economies, we need to utilize the resources we generate to reinvest in facilities and to build our bench strength for the inevitable transition of some of our more senior staff members. We must make sure we have the right people in the right chairs to smooth staff transitions that are coming our way from position to position. All in all, though, things look pretty solid and pretty exciting from my vantage point. At the end of that long, long day, I believe the retreat ended up being time very well spent by all. Our staff shined, the Board fully engaged, and I could not have been more proud to be a part of it all. It was a wonderful bonding exercise and sharing of ideas, and in good club governance, retreats are an importance component. Although we did it a little differently with President Cantwell’s format this year, it ended up being a great day that was valued by all who were in attendance. In the long run, I know our MAC members, staff and community are the real beneficiaries. See you at the Club,
Wally Smith, General Manager Missouri Athletic Club

DOUBLING DOWN On Fitness For months, upgrades and improvements have been consistently integrated into the fitness facilities of the MAC West Clubhouse. Phase One was revealed in full at the beginning of 2019, featuring renovated walls, flooring and new equipment for a more modern, premier atmosphere. These initial upgrades and renovations were met with praise from members, and Athletic Director Jeff Tuhro said the primary comment he heard from members was that it turned out “better than they imagined.” But Phase One was only the beginning. Just weeks ago, construction began on Phase Two of the fitness facilities. Visitors to the West Clubhouse will notice parts of the building have temporary walls put up while construction is being done and walls are being taken down. Cardio equipment has been moved to the weight room and the mezzanine, and spinning classes and most other group exercise are taking place in the gym. Racquetball courts are currently closed during renovation, and racquetball players are encouraged to use the Downtown Clubhouse courts during this construction period. But all of these situations are temporary, as the Club makes way for better facilities to match the look of the Phase One improvements. 16 F Cherry Diamond F OCT 2019
“We’re going to create spaces that will be properly sized, and [Phase Two] will mimic that whole new modern look and flow. It’ll be more open and have better equipment,” Tuhro says. For starters, the lower-level cardio room and group exercise room are being opened up by taking out a wall to create one large cardio room. The space will house rows of treadmills, ellipticals, upright and recumbent bikes – all facing the outer wall. The larger space will allow for more equipment and will have space for better TVs on the walls. The second cardio room and spinning/ yoga room will be combined into one space, with the entire center wall taken out. The space will contain kettlebells and heavy bags, lined with benches in the middle. Treadmills, water rowers and assault bikes will have their places in this space, too. The functional high-intensity room will be home to boot camps and total body resistance exercises. Spinning is a popular class at the West Clubhouse, but it’s never had its own studio. With Phase Two, that will change. The fifth racquetball court will be converted into a large spinning studio with leaderboard technology, which Tuhro said will allow participants to see their statistics
on the wall and compete with others in their class. Additionally on the lower level, a new space will offer new types of stretching packages that will benefit all members. “For the first time ever, we’re going to bring physical therapy into the Club,” Tuhro says. “A lot of people go elsewhere for physical therapy, and they end up with six people to one physical therapist. We’re looking at a company right now that will only do one-on-ones and only handles private clubs.” Tuhro said having an in-house physical therapy group will allow for a great relationship to form between the physical therapists and the MAC training staff, and they’re looking forward to being able to help serve members in-house. The new assessment space will also offer metabolic testing, where members can find out how their bodies burn energy and use oxygen. “It’s geared specifically for you to get the best workout you possibly can in the shortest amount of time,” Tuhro says. “If you’re trying to lose weight, this’ll help feed into nutrition plans. It’s breaking it down into deeper science, not just generalizations.” Another huge feature coming to the MAC West Clubhouse is a space geared specifically to kids who have aged out of the child care facility – for those between around 5 and 12 years old. While plans are still being developed for this space, features could include climbing-type walls, interactive games on the walls and more. Children would also be able to host their birthday parties in this area. The space directly above on the upper level will be a classroom for camps like the American Girl Camp and Little Veterinarian School. The room will also be used for programming and could possibly grow to include study halls in the evenings, music lessons, private tutoring and more, Tuhro said. Plans include smart boards for instruction-type classes and a soft seating area to serve as a hang-out spot for kids. “We’ll be able to do a lot more programs and keep our members in the Club and save them money by not having to have multiple memberships,” Tuhro said. Phase Two construction will be taking place throughout the remainder of 2019, but current plans slate the end of the project to be early 2020.
For the latest news on the upgrades, keep an eye on the MAC website. Upcoming issues of the Cherry Diamond will feature mini-stories on sections of the Phase Two project as they are completed. Cherry Diamond F OCT 2019 F 17

“
For the past eight years, I have been heavily involved in developing junior players using the Red, Orange, and Green tennis balls. Use of these lower compression balls has allowed more kids to start playing at an earlier age, while also developing their physical and cognitive tennis skills more quickly! At the heart of any quality junior program is an understanding that development is all about skill acquisition. I look forward to working with players of all ages to develop these skills. — David Beck 18 F Cherry Diamond F OCT 2019

MAKE THE MOST OUT OF RETIREMENT Transitioning from career life to days offering a lot of free time may be more difficult than most people expect. When making the move to retire, plan to fill each day with enjoyable activities stave away boredom.
Get Involved at the MAC With many classes, clubs, boards and events, the MAC is the perfect place to help its retired members stay active—both socially and physically.
Tips for a Smooth Retirement
ATHLETICS Tennis – Tennis is said to be a lifelong sport, and the MAC offers a wide variety of tennis clinics for men and women. Get on the court and get active with fellow members!
Travel – The kids are grown, and there are no work responsibilities, so why not take that trip that has always been put to the side? Volunteer – Help others in need! When retirees find an organization they are passionate about working for, many find it to be a rewarding experience. Spend Time with the Family – Allot time for the kids and grandkids and kill two birds with one stone. Investing time with grandkids wards off depression and Alzheimer’s disease. Find a New Hobby – Now is the time to start that hobby that has been an interest, but never could be done because there was no time. Try a Sport – Honing skills at a current sport or finding a completely new one to try is an excellent pastime. Many retirees enjoy swimming, pickleball, golf, tennis and fishing! Be Social – Mix and mingle with others during retirement! Social activity is linked to better health. Research Places to Retire – Just because someone has retired does not mean they have to stay in the same place they have been living. Research popular and economical places for retirees. Downsizing frees up time, and finding a new location with like-minded people can be a plus.
Pickleball – This popular sport boasts a laid-back environment for optimal fun
and exercise! Tennis court #4 at the West Clubhouse was recently lined with two pickleball courts. On Tuesdays from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and Thursdays from 8-11:30 a.m., the Downtown Clubhouse basketball court hosts open play.

On the Road Again
WITH THE FOREVER YOUNG CLUB
August found Forever Young Club members exploring Arrow Rock, a historic town on the Missouri River along the westward expansion trail of the 1840s. Named for the large flint rock bluff along the river, Arrow Rock, with a population 55, thrives today as a tourist attraction. A guided tour of the village revealed a history worth noting. For many years, Native Americans from far and wide used the flint bluff to construct arrow heads and spear points. The bluff was noted by Lewis and Clark on their 1803-04 western expedition. Famous former residents include Daniel Boone and his sons, who operated a nearby salt production business, Dr. John Sappington, developer of quinine pills to combat malaria and George Caleb Bingham, the Missouri artist. The tour of the compact 1837 Bingham house gave a clear picture of small town living by a well-off family, serving to remind everyone of the comparative luxury of their
homes today. A lunch of barbequed beef brisket with blackberry cobbler at the J. Huston Tavern made for an enjoyable break. The Lyceum Theatre, founded in 1961 in an abandoned Baptist Church, was the club’s main attraction of the day. They watched a comedy presented by professional actors that proved to be as well-done as those in local St. Louis theaters. The trip back to St. Louis included a surprise stop at Crane’s Country Store in Williamsburg, where they stepped back into the 1920s. A short detour off Interstate 70 led the FYC to what at first appeared to be an old-time western movie set that included an unpainted wooden building with a tin roof, complete with a boardwalk, front porch and a line of rocking chairs.
a fire on the wooden floor. Old chairs sat nearby to surround the stove on a cold winter day. There they devoured ice cream bars, cleaned out the homegrown tomato bin and made a run on the pickled okra before heading back to the West Clubhouse, happy for this unexpected encounter at the end of another rewarding trip.

As the Blues prepare to defend their title and reclaim the Cup, don’t forget to stop by either Clubhouse before, during and after games to cheer on the team!

MAC Past
In March 1968, the Cherry Diamond dedicated its cover to the newly formed St. Louis team, the Blues. The city fully embraced the team and watched in anticipation that month as they battled it out to make the playoffs. Not only did they make the playoffs that year but went on to the Stanley Cup finals where they ultimately lost to Montreal. Earlier this year, more than half a century later, they finally were able to clinch the title, and Blues fans are just as eager to see what the team has in store now as they were in 1968. 28 F Cherry Diamond F OCT 2019
A Snip Off the Old Block
THE BOMMARITO FAMILY PASSED ALONG A FAMILY TRADITION
SAVE THE DATE One of the key pillars of the Missouri Athletic Club, especially at the century-old Downtown Clubhouse, is tradition. On Aug. 21, 2019, the Bommarito family continued a tradition of their own
when they walked into the MAC Barbershop for their newest family member’s first haircut. More than 35 years ago, Past MAC Governor Anthony Bommarito took his son Tony to the same barbershop for his first haircut. Bommarito joined his son again while his grandson Henry got the same treatment. Tony, who grew up having his photos from his first haircut displayed around the house thought it was only natural to continue the tradition at the building he spent so much time in as a kid. “I never would have thought before having my first child how timeless some things can be. Any opportunity to establish some sort of tradition is important,” said Tony. “It’s cool that the Barbershop still looks the same…every time I walk into the building, it takes me back to when I was a kid.”

OF Artist THE Month MARILYNNE BRADLEY
This quarter, well-known artist, Marilynne Bradley has been honored as the MAC Artist of the Quarter. Bradley began experimenting with lines and shapes in the last decade developing her own new style she calls “geometrical transitions.” Before she discovered her love of art, she was planning to be a medical illustrator and needed to take a few drawing classes. She ended up staying in that direction because “it was much easier than all the pre-med classes.” Though she began her career doing watercolor paintings, for which she received many accolades, Bradley decided to expand her style into a new, relatively unexplored realm. “I've been painting for over 60 years. This is a new direction that I'm going in. I've tried to do it to break away from the past. Most people know my work is St. Louis landmarks. I've had books out on the history of St. Louis. And so now I've gone off in this other whole direction, which is geometrics,” said Bradley. Her geometric transitions focus on creating a scene with lines and tangents, using the Josef Albers formula on color to add depth and set the mood of the paintings. Her inspiration comes not only from Albers, but MC Escher’s mathematically inspired constructions and Piet Mondian’s reductions to lines and planes.
As of today, Bradley has created more than 35 paintings in this style alone with many more to come. In her next series, she is working on boat harbors, which she is particularly excited about due to how the patterns of masts can be captured through her geometric style. Ideally, Bradley hopes that her new style starts a new movement in the art world, although she admits she would not know how to teach it. “I can sort of tell somebody how to start, but then they have to use their own imagination and continue from there. Even with color perception, Josef Albers wrote a book on it. And people read it, but they don't always understand it.” Members can view her art in the Preservation Gallery at the Downtown Clubhouse and the lobby at the West Clubhouse. See more of her designs at MarilynneBradley.com or search for Marilynne Bradley on Facebook.
