very time I walk into MAC, it’s like coming home. I say a friendly “hello” to Bill at the Athletic Entrance on my way to Pilates Reformer class with Rebecca Schefstrom and my MAC friends. I neverwould have met these folks if not for my Pilates class, and I look forward to seeing them all each week.

tremendous amount about the operation and finances of the club and shared the experience with 11 people who will forever remain my close friends. The leadership of the club is first-class all around.

Rebecca Frinell VICE PRESIDENT

I love that at MAC you are constantly meeting new members and expanding your network of friends — sometimes in unexpected places. Some of my best friends are MAC members, and they are like family. Even though we might not see each other very often, when we do it’s as if no time has passed!

Committees are MAC’s life blood, and hundreds of members volunteer thousands of hours each year on more than 50 committees to make it one of the best clubs in the nation — and the best “home away from home” anywhere.

Speaking of friends who are like family, it has been a tremendous honor to serve on the Board of Trustees. Any time one volunteers at an organization, you always hope to leave it better than when you started. I truly hope that is the case at MAC, as my fellow officers and I get ready to roll off the board and a new class joins. We have worked hard to ensure the club continues to thrive in its current state, and stays ahead of the curve when attracting new members in the 2020 Lottery by planning for the future. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. I have learned a

As part of planning for the future, the Board of Trustees, committees and staff have spent many hours creating the 2020 budget.

At this time, we are expecting the family monthly dues to increase approximately 4%. The Budget and Finance Committee has worked tirelessly with the Executive Leadership Team to manage the challenges of significant increases in insurance and low unemployment rates, while maintaining the services we have all come to love and expect.

I still think it’s the best value in town.

If I can encourage you to do one thing, it would be to join a committee this coming year. One of the first committees I joined was Family Events. If you’d like to help plan amazing parties for MAC member children and families, then this is the committee for you! The committee interest form can be found on themac.com and must be turned in by Dec. 31. Paper forms can be picked up from At Your Service. Committees are MAC’s life blood, and hundreds of members volunteer thousands of hours each year on more than 50 committees to make it one of the best clubs in the nation — and the best “home away from home” anywhere.

Speaking of volunteers, be sure to thank the members who are volunteering to decorate the club for the holidays this month. It’s a fun time to attend numerous special events and enjoy the holiday season with friends and family. I know the Holiday Decorating Committee can always use more hands to help take down the amazing decorations the first week of January, so please help out if you can (see page 17 for sign up information).

From my family to yours, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and look forward to seeing you around MAC.

CLUB NEWS MANAGER’S COLUMN This month’s guest columnist is Athletic Committee member Gary Berger.

A

lthough I’ve been a MAC member for about 12 years, until last year I had only served on one Sport Committee. My perception of how the club worked was through that lens: how my sport approached intramural leagues, how my sport managed seasonal events, how my sport dealt with club staff and policies. But when I was asked to serve on the Athletic Committee, I agreed, thinking it might be an opportunity to help change policies I didn’t agree with.

I vastly underestimated what was to come.

As a result, Athletic Department staff and Committee members are reviewing the thousands of activities that take place at, or are organized by, MAC each year, and are working to help bring a greater degree of organization and consistency to the support and services club members receive. As we create a system of categorizing what the club does and how it is done, we are clarifying what activities are basic services and which are provided at an additional cost. We are also finding that these categories can be put to use in areas including budgeting and engaging the Marketing Communications department, when appropriate.

Once I was on the committee, I was assigned to the policy subcommittee and had the opportunity to work closely with members and staff who have given decades of service to MAC. This last year has been a master class in how the club works, the challenges to keeping it up to date, and the opportunities that can be achieved with members’ help.

There is another level of synergy being uncovered during this process that will help provide more and consistent data to drive future decisions. By integrating activity categories with MAC’s information systems, we are developing simplified processes that provide actionable information specific to participation levels, facilities utilization and revenue-generating services.

I have been impressed by how committees and staff stay mindful of the fact that MAC is here to provide services that meet members’ preferences and expectations.

Without hesitation, I can say that this work on the Athletic Committee has been fun.

This is not because I have some strange attraction to policy meetings, but because the staff and members with whom I work are clever, committed and eager to make a difference. This new approach to delivering basic and value-added services to club members has all of us truly excited about what we can do in the coming year to improve not only our governance and management methods, but also member satisfaction.

As Interim General Manager Bob Radler discussed in his Winged M column last month, this is a time of change for the club. As we adapt to the challenges and opportunities each new day presents, I have been impressed by how committees and staff stay mindful of the fact that MAC is here to provide services that meet members’ preferences and expectations. To be sure, with more than 125 years of experience, it is clear the club has some tribal knowledge to fall back on, but we want to rely on more than the past and status quo when serving you.

If you are still reading, thank you. Please consider applying to be on a MAC committee in 2020. It’s a new decade, a new era for the club, and a new opportunity for you to contribute to the club we all sought to join. For those new to the committee system, I recommend joining a Sport or Event Committee, which provides a good foundation for understanding how the club operates.

So, with that invitation and the hope you will join me next year, I’d like to wish you all a warm, loving and thankful holiday season.

TONI MASINGALE

FACES IN THE CLUB Five MAC members were on the Jesuit High School Crusaders team that triumphed over Central Catholic to win the 6A Volleyball State Championship on Saturday, Nov. 10, at Hillsboro’s Liberty High School. Senior Ella Masingale made the winning kill to seal the deal as Jesuit took home its second title in a row.

Her sophomore sister, Tess Masingale, had 16 kills and seven blocks to Ella’s 17 kills, and says she hopes the team can come back even stronger next year. Another member, Alison Buchholz, provided exemplary support as a setter, with 31 assists and 21 digs.

In addition to their team championship, the Masingales took home individual honors. Ella made Metro All-League Second Team, while Tess was named to Metro All-League First Team, All-Tournament First Team, and Player of the Game for the championship match. Buchholz similarly claimed spots on the Metro All-League First Team and All-Tournament First Team.

Two other MAC members also made impressive showings this season. Maggie Ryan played a key part in the team’s success, and Maisie Alexander was All-League First Team and AllTournament Second Team. Alexander, Buchholz and Ryan all grew up playing volleyball at MAC, says Volleyball Head Coach Lea Petock, and Ryan plans to return next year to play 16U.\ Crusaders fans would do well to keep their eyes on the team next year, as only Ella and one other senior player graduated. That means Tess and the rest of the team will be back in action looking to claim the three-peat, a feat that hasn’t occurred since Central Catholic accomplished it between 2009 and 2011.

Portland native Kristopher Dausz has spent his life harnessing gravity in the NW high alpine. Spending the past five years as MAC’s U12/14 member coach, he just attained new altitude by transitioning to a club employee.

Says Head Ski Coach Justin Rackley, “He’s a key cultural leader in our program, and families will be excited he’s staying!”

Dausz started skiing at age 2, and by 6, was spending every weekend training with the White Pass Ski Academy. He enjoyed his family cabin near Mt. Ranier, and says, “I feel so grateful for what my parents were able to provide for me — to find the thrill and joy of the outdoors in the Northwest.”

He nearly made the U.S. Ski Team, competing at the NorAm level before focusing on Mechanical Engineering at Montana State University. Dausz raced for MSU, led the team to a regional title, and competed at Nationals. As a coach, he has inspired Junior Olympics athletes at the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation, as well as MSU’s Women’s Alpine team.

Eric Christofferson, who coaches MAC’s Youth Ski League Prep program this season, has been sliding on snow in one form or another for more than 20 years. At age 13, he started out snowboarding, but quickly realized he was better suited to skiing. After refocusing, he hasn’t looked back since.

“Teaching at Mt. Hood Meadows Ski School during the 2018-19 season, I realized that instilling fundamental ski skills in my students allowed them to really appreciate and enjoy their time on the mountain,” Christofferson says.

Born in Tacoma, Washington, he spent his younger years in locations ranging from South Korea to Los Angeles and the American South, moving to Oregon in 2004.

In his free time, Christofferson enjoys backpacking, cycling and downhill skiing.

It doesn’t seem so very long ago that Jacqui Monahan transitioned from Athletic Membership to being a full-fledged member.

Now, she’s putting that status on hold in order to give back to the program that helped her get her start here at MAC. She joins the club’s Youth Ski League Team staff for the upcoming season after spending the past two coaching Lakeridge High School’s Ski Team.

Monahan has 10 years of competitive racing experience, five years of coaching, and has been skiing recreationally at Mt. Bachelor for 24 years. She is also USSA level 100 certified.

Off the mountain, Monahan is a digital marketer and website designer. Around the club, she is part of MAC’s Early Bird crew, and is on the Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s Communication and Website Redesign committees. As if that weren’t enough to keep her busy, she’s in training for her second Ironman competition this coming August.

House Committee Sanctions

T

he House Committee enforces rules of conduct for members and guests by investigating infractions and recommending sanctions to the Board of Trustees. Recent board actions are listed below, along with reminders about the applicable club rules.

Rules Reminders Disregard for guest policies: Knowingly violating guest policies, including but not limited to failing to register athletic or social guests, failing to pay applicable guest fees, disregarding frequency restrictions for athletic guests, or failing to comply with any aspect of current guest policies.

Rules violation: Violation of any Club Rule not otherwise categorized. Including but not limited to refusal to present membership card, photographing members without permission.

Rules violations • A 15-year-old member was suspended for three months for disregard of guest policies and rules violation. The member snuck two guests into the club through an armed emergency exit door. In doing so, the alarm was set off, which notified staff.

It was reported that the member and the guests were located in the Sundeck Pool.

CLUB NEWS Membership Category Changes

A

s part of planning for the 2020 Lottery and per the club’s strategic plan, an ad hoc membership categories committee was convened to evaluate membership categories and discuss possible changes that would be attractive to future members and provide a better experience for current members.

With the spirit of inclusivity that inspired the club to add women as a membership category in 1977, and welcomed same-sex couples as family memberships in 2005, the Board of Trustees, ad hoc membership categories committee and staff decided to update membership category definitions to reflect evolving lifestyles and modern definitions of “family.” MAC believes these changes will better serve the expectations of current and potential future members and demonstrates that the club is not a conservative institution that is “stuck in the past.”

The Board of Trustees approved the following changes in order to improve the member experience, modernize policies to match future and current member expectations and desires, and create consistency across categories.

Domestic Partnerships In an effort to be consistent with current industry standards and the societal definition of a “couple,” the Board of Trustees approved modernizing and expanding the definition of a couple to: “two adults in a legally documented relationship,” which includes: “a married couple, a civil union or a domestic partnership.”

As such, members and applicants in a legally documented relationship may now start the process and apply for a joint account as a couple.

The accepted forms of documentation will be expanded to include any government-issued documentation for domestic partnership and civil union (i.e., city, county or state).

These changes will better serve the expectations of current and potential future members.

Currently, the only accepted forms of documentation for committed relationships are marriage certificates for heterosexual and same-sex couples and civil union or state-issued domestic partnership certificates for same-sex couples. In recent years, there has been an increase in member concern regarding this rule, with several members requesting that their heterosexual domestic partnership be recognized by the club. The ad hoc membership categories committee explored and discussed opening applications to other forms of documented, committed relationships, and the Board of Trustees approved adopting this change effective Jan. 1, 2020.

Adult Initiation Fee The Board of Trustees approved, as of June 27, that initiation fees only be assessed to incoming adult members. For example, a single parent does not need to pay an initiation fee when their dependent child turns seven years old and upgrades to a family account.

All adult members must pay the adult initiation fee. When a second adult is added as per “couple” definition, an additional membership initiation fee will be assessed. This includes legacy and lottery adult members, as well as applicants in a legally documented relationship when adding to a family account.

Single-parent members who paid an initiation fee upgrade in full prior to this change, or began a payment plan to the family account prior to this date, will not be offered a refund, but will continue to have the option to add a spouse, domestic partner or civil union partner without being required to pay an additional fee.

Ages of Members Registered In an effort to improve safety, security and facilitate gathering membership data, the Board of Trustees approved that all children ages six months to 17 years must be registered on an adult’s account in order to enter the club. Communication and education efforts will take place throughout 2020, with enforcement at all entrances beginning Jan. 1, 2021. All nanny/caregivers who are registered on a member account must be confirmed and updated with At Your Service by Jan. 1. 2020.

The Board of Trustees is looking into this category further to better ensure the facility remains safe and secure and that staff knows who is in the building at all times.

For more information on membership categories, please contact the Membership Department at membership@themac.com or 503-517-7280.

Board Approvals at a Glance • The title “senior” has been removed from individual and family membership categories to eliminate confusion with the age category of “senior.”

• The definition of a couple has been expanded to two adults in a legally documented relationship, effective Jan. 1, 2020.

• Accepted forms of couple documentation has been expanded to include any governmentissued documentation for domestic partnership and civil union (i.e., city, county or state), effective Jan. 1, 2020.

• The language “family initiation fee” was removed from all membership materials to “adult initiation fee,” effective June 27.

• All children ages 6 months to 17 years are required to register as part of an adult membership, effective Jan. 1, 2021 (member communication and education efforts beginning January 2020).

CLUB NEWS ‘Winged M’ Readers Respond to Survey Magazine poll part of communications channel strategy

M

embers view The Winged M magazine as their primary source of information about the club; almost 90 percent read it within a week of delivery, and more than one-half say they read it cover-to-cover in one sitting, according to a recent survey.

Development of the survey was directed by Communication Committee Chair Bev Davis, with input from the committee members and Marketing Communication staff. “The survey is one component of a channel strategy the committee initiated in 2019. Our goal is to identify which channel — Winged M, e-mails, posters — works the best for which type of communication,” says Davis.

The magazine’s Events section is the most widely read, with the General Manager’s and President’s columns, Club News, feature stories, Athletics section and In Memoriam all receiving high marks. Members rely on the events calendar to identify activities of interest, followed by MACtivities and other e-mails, posters and flyers in the club and the website.

Almost all types of articles are of interest to members, but they particularly enjoy features about fellow members, and articles about sports. Some 85 percent of respondents said they read the print version, with only a handful reading the magazine online.

Whether through The Winged M or another channel, members said they would appreciate more detailed information on group exercise classes, and the background of the instructors who teach them. “I’d love to see interviews with our amazing (athletic) staff,” wrote one respondent.

Perception about the amount of MAC photography and the ratio of advertising to editorial content has been the subject of “hallway” conversations among members, according to Davis. Two-thirds of respondents said the balance of member photos and stock photography is about right. Davis says that 80 percent of the photography in The Winged M is of members or club events.

We want to ensure The Winged M best serves the entire MAC population.

Advertising in The Winged M generates about $600,000 a year in revenue, which is sufficient to cover the cost of creating, printing and mailing the magazine and support other communication activities. Two-thirds of survey respondents rated the amount of advertising as acceptable. Advertising occupied about 45 percent of each The Winged M issue in 2019, down from more than 50 percent two years ago.

“In many ways the survey confirmed that we’re on track, but it provided valuable insights to help us fine-tune our efforts,” said Winged M Managing Editor Allyson Wilinski.

“The survey received more than 300 comments and suggestions from members. We are reviewing them to identify opportunities for improvement and for story ideas.”

When members have an idea for a story, Wilinski encourages them to pass it along to the magazine staff at wingedm@themac. com. “Members are our best source of stories about other members,” she says. “We want to ensure The Winged M best serves the entire MAC population.”

Members who advertise in The Winged M will be pleased to know that almost 75 percent of respondents said they are more likely to favor a product or service if they know it is offered by a fellow member.

In addition to the survey, Davis says members of the Communication Committee also are meeting with each of the Sport Committees to gather their input and insights for the channel strategy.

In Search of Sasquatch

S

asquatch, Yeti, Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman.

The world’s most elusive forest dweller goes by many names, and the Arts Subcommittee needs your help to find him!

Record has it that MAC owns a painting called Sasquatch, and, just like the mythical cryptid himself, its whereabouts are only the stuff of rumors, fanciful tales of a painting seen down a racquetball corridor, or at the end of a dimly lit hallway after imbibing in one of 1891’s signature cocktails.

Each committee year, a new batch of members goes on the hunt for this lost treasure, and each year they come up empty-handed, just like so many other Bigfoot hunters. But it’s 2019, and the world has discovered the power of crowdsourcing! So, the Art’s Committee has been granted the power to deputize Winged M readers to help us on the hunt for “Sasquatch,” by Carolyn Dewey.

As far as they know, the painting should be 37.875 x 49.75 inches, with a wood frame. If you find it, snap a picture and send it to committee member Louie Paul at LouiePaul84@gmail.com with “Sasquatch Sighting” in the subject line.

The first person lucky enough to find it will be recognized by the subcommittee and awarded a prize.

If the search comes up empty, this story will be filed away in the same government bunker pictured at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, where the Ark of the Covenant and the recovered alien bodies from Area 51 are stored, only to be brought up again with the next generation of MAC committee members.

Good luck. The truth is out there!

In Memoriam Mark Gordon Minnis Dec. 31, 1948-Aug. 10, 2019 Longtime Oregon resident and former Rogue River Lodge owner Mark Gordon Minnis died Aug. 10, 2019, of myeloid leukemia. Mark, who was 70, passed away at home in Selma in southern Oregon, surrounded by his loving partner and their family and friends.

Mark was born in San Francisco, to California natives Nancy Fay Minnis and William Minnis, on Dec. 31, 1948, which gave him the chance every New Year’s Eve to proclaim that the whole world celebrated his birthday. He was raised in Sacramento, where his father managed River Lines, a tug and barge company started by Mark’s maternal grandfather. He spent the hot, dry Sacramento summers perfecting the game of golf, a sport he excelled at and enjoyed all of his life. He attended the University of California at Berkeley and joined the Zeta Psi fraternity, where he made several life-long friends, including Jeff Wihtol of Portland.

He moved to Eugene and earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Oregon in 1972, followed by a master’s degree in labor relations at U of O in 1974. After earning his masters, he moved to Seattle and worked as a labor negotiator and spokesman for the Crowley Maritime Corporation, which had purchased River Lines. During the five years he worked for Crowley, he traveled extensively up and down the West Coast, including long stretches in Alaska.

After leaving Crowley, Mark’s life changed forever following a white water raft trip on the Salmon River. He moved to a cabin on the Rogue River in southern Oregon, bought a wooden drift boat and learned to row from Paul Hoobyar (now of Eugene), who would become his close friend. In 1979, he and friend Bill Woods, of Fresno, purchased Half Moon Bar Lodge, an 83-acre inholding in the Rogue Siskiyou National Forest on the Wild and Scenic section of the Rogue River. They continued to run the facility as a fishing lodge while expanding its clientele to include rafters, hikers and those simply seeking a wilderness getaway.

During the off-season and later full-time after he sold the lodge, Mark worked in real estate in Portland. He served as the broker at Help-U-Buy Real Estate and then Insight Real Estate, working out of his office at 21st and Lovejoy in Northwest Portland. He continued his real estate practice with a focus on representing buyers after returning to the Rogue Valley in 2010.

For the past 10 years, Mark lived in Selma with his partner Kathy Krauss. They traveled several times to India, Nepal and Bhutan, where they enhanced their growing interest in Eastern spirituality. They also traveled to Normandy, where Mark realized a lifelong dream of honoring his war hero father, who was a helmsman on a landing craft during the invasion of Normandy.

An avid duck and upland bird hunter, Mark belonged to several duck clubs in Oregon and California over the course of his life. In addition to MAC, he was a member of the Olympic Club in San Francisco. He was also a member of San Francisco’s Bohemian Club and spent many happy hours with his California cousins and friends at the Bohemian Grove in the redwoods near Monte Rio during the club’s annual summer encampment. He was also a life-long caregiver for his brother William, who suffers from mental illness.

He is survived by his partner, Kathy Krauss; her seven children and 14 grandchildren; sister, Milo Minnis, and brother, William; nieces, Nicolette Allen and Margaret Moodian; cousins, Jim Rydell, Sam Gutman and Alex Gutman; and former wives, Sally Gregg and Mary Beth Allen. He was preceded in death by his parents and fatherin-law, Edwin E. Allen, a 50-year MAC member, and cousin, Sally Rydell Gutman.

A memorial service was held in September in Selma. Memorial contributions can be made to the Mark G. Minnis Fund at Rogue Community College in Grants Pass (rccfoundation.org) or NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Sandra R. Sweeney April 20, 1953-Oct. 21, 2019 Sandy Sweeney passed away unexpectedly at her home in Surf Pines, Oregon (her favorite place in the world), while making lunch with her husband by her side. Other than Multiple Sclerosis, which Sandy ignored with grace and strength for more than 20 years, she was in excellent health and spirits.

Sandy was born in Portland on April 20, 1953, to Glen (Mac) and Elizabeth (Libby) McDaniel. As a child, she spent summers with her family at their beloved cabin near Stephenson, Washington. She graduated from Sunset High School and the University of Oregon, where she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority.

She married Miles Sweeney, and they enjoyed 23 wonderful years together. They raised her son, Casey, and Miles’ five children at their homes in Portland and Surf Pines.

Casey and his wife, Katie, welcomed their daughter, Wren, three months ago to the great delight of Grammie.

Sandy worked in Portland as an escrow officer specializing in 1031 Exchanges until her early retirement. Sandy and Miles loved to travel, but their favorite trip was their weekly commute to the beach. She enjoyed playing bridge and doing water aerobics with her friends at MAC, baking brownies and birthday cakes, watching courtroom dramas, and beating Miles at double-solitaire over a glass (or bottle) of white wine.

Sandy is survived by her husband, Miles; son, Casey Byers (Katie); sister, Susan McDaniel; stepchildren, Theresa, Mike (Paula), Patrick (Kristi), Matt (Annie) and Chris (Steffi) Sweeney; 10 grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Her Celebration of Life was at the Multnomah Athletic Club in November.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Diners’ Choice for New Year's Eve

W

hile parents and their little critters frolic at MAC’s Family “Zoo Year’s Eve” Party, the club’s culinary team is keeping a strictly adult tradition alive and classy. Every year, 1891 serves one of the most festive spreads in Portland, made all the more alluring by the restaurant’s exclusivity and incomparable price point.

“You can think of it as your one stop for the evening, or the best prefunc in town,” says Executive Sous Chef Phil Oswalt. “It’s a meal to build your evening around. Whatever you’re hungry for, you’re going to get what you want.”

After trying out prix fixe menus in the past, Oswalt says that he’s heard from members that à la carte allows for more freedom.

If New Year’s Eve is a foreshadowing of the year to come, he thinks allowing each person to put together their perfect menu is more in keeping with MAC’s commitment to mindfulness and intentionality.

“New Year’s Eve is the night to let it all out, with the idea that you rein it back in on New Year’s Day. Or maybe the day after,” he says with a mischievous smile. “Want oysters and ribeye? You’re in the driver’s seat.”

Celebrate the new year at 1891 with an à la carte menu of regional and member favorites from 4 to 8 p.m.

Tuesday, Dec. 31. To make a reservation, call 503-5176630 or go to themac.com.

Oswalt also points out that even the most decadent offerings on the menu are made with “guilt-free ingredients,” that are locally and/or ethically sourced. There are vegetarian and vegan options available for those so inclined, too.

Not one to abstain from 1891’s carnivorous offerings, he personally recommends the Maine Lobster Popcorn, and says he thinks oysters and champagne are the ultimate New Year’s pairing. The Western Red Cedar Planked Salmon, brushed with Whistle Pig Whisky, is another personal favorite.

“The acidity of the champagne cuts nicely through the fat of any dish,” he says. “You get flavor combinations that are salty, sweet, buttery and still effervescent.”

“Whatever you’re planning for the night or the coming year, you can build an evening to prepare yourself here. Do this and go out, or just go home and relax. You’re in charge of your own destiny.”

PEOPLE POWER

Dedicated individuals make maximum impact in the lives of area youth

By Sarah Burczak, Diane Bozak, Rosana McNew and Jacqui Monahan

I

t’s been said that it takes a village to raise a child, but the inverse also is true.

The success of one child can raise up an entire village-worth of volunteers to their full potential.

Multnomah Athletic Foundation (MAF) deals in a scale greater than one child, instead providing opportunities for three counties worth of kids via scholarships and community grant partners. At the heart of this mission is the belief that each young person is important and deserves the chance to succeed despite society’s inherent inequalities.

While many MAF stories focus on the youth served by the organization, what follows are profiles and photos of people behind the scenes who help the foundation fulfill its mission — and some of the many kids who have benefited.

The Power of Committee Members Multnomah Athletic Foundation relies on hard-working volunteers, who serve on nine committees, to make the vision of the 20-member board and executive director a reality. They attend regular meetings on everything from how to execute grant and scholarship programs to planning the annual Spin-a-thon and investing in MAF’s endowment. Kyle Goulard is one of those volunteers.

Goulard is still an active athlete. He can be found on MAC basketball courts, playing in the intramural league or dropping in on a morning pick-up game. “MAC is a community, and for many of us it’s our second home. That $25 annual gift that we contribute voluntarily as members is one of the best gifts we could ever give.”

Scholarship Readers Are Fundamental

“To me, MAF is like the kid at school who all the other kids and teachers admire and look up to — they excel in and out of the classroom, they’re making time to volunteer in the community, and they are doing it for personal fulfillment instead of social recognition,” says Goulard.

It would be hard to be a MAC member and not have heard of Joe Loprinzi — a MAC fitness instructor whose support of youth participation in athletics left a lasting legacy at the club. But members may be less familiar with the scholarship founded 19 years ago in his memory.

He learned about the foundation several years ago when he volunteered for a grant review team, and wanted to get more involved. His job as a financial planner made him a great fit for MAF’s Finance and Investment Committee. During his second year on the committee, Goulard helped create an investment policy to ensure that the organization’s endowment and contributions are managed responsibly and track to the foundation’s values.

The scholarship, one of eight the foundation manages, is awarded annually to three high school seniors who attend one of the Portland area’s 29 high schools.

Students must be a competitive athlete, have financial need, maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA, and make time to serve their community.

“Over the course of my life, athletics has been a consistent way for me to develop my self-confidence, teamwork and communication skills,” says Goulard. “Every time a kid has the opportunity to lace up their shoes, they are developing invaluable real-world skills that will benefit them in the years ahead. If they don’t have access to athletics, they face a steep hill to climb in their personal development. The foundation makes accessibility possible to more and more kids every year.”

Prior to 2018, each high school nominated one student for the scholarship, but now it is open to any senior student athlete who applies. This change has increased access to the scholarship, but also means there are more applications that need to be reviewed. This task is made possible thanks to a band of volunteers who meet every spring to read applications and create a list of finalists.

“I love reading about these talented individuals, and I look forward to it every year,” says MAC member Kathleen Foesch, a second-year scholarship reader.

“These kids are incredible — they do well in school, they are competitive athletes and they still find time to support those in their Continued on page 35

“Folks on our committee and the board took the effort and time to help [See You At the Summit] go above and beyond — not only the grant funding, but to help connect them to other people who care and want to help. It made a huge difference in their momentum and what they are trying to do.”

Foesch, a former teacher’s aide, was hooked after her first year of reading scholarships, as are many others who volunteer alongside her. Foesch also took her involvement a step further and helped, along with volunteers Debbie Williams and Rebecca Roberts, to organize the scholarship recognition event, which is held each summer in the West Gym.

“The event is a unique opportunity to actually meet the students we read about in the review process,” she notes. “I love the atmosphere, which is fun, relaxed and all about celebrating the students.”

“Outreach through community events is always a fantastic way to spread the word about what any organization does,” Patridge says. “They become a catalyst for conversation and involvement.”

Grant Partners Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s work is also made possible by leveraging community partnerships.

Jamie Sumner, a MAF board member and lifelong MAC member, has been involved with the foundation in one way or another for about seven years and values the foundation’s work as a member of the greater Portland community.

This past year, he became the chair of the Grant Committee. “We oversee two grant application cycles each year. This year, we focused on personalizing the process and getting to know the grant applicants and the organizations behind them,” says Sumner.

“We partner with roughly 25-30 grant partners every year, and they impact thousands of local youth across various forms of athletics and community involvement.”

He recalls an organization called See You at the Summit, which was applying for funding for the first time in the last grant cycle. “Their request was different from most of the applications we get, from a traditional sports standpoint, but it really hit home with members of the Grant Committee. Not only were we able to fund them, but thanks to a committee member’s

How can MAC members support MAF’s mission? It’s easy! Just ask Denise Patridge.

“I became aware of the Spin-a-thon by going to spin class, and I took part for the first time in 2016,” she says. “Then, in 2017 I joined the Spin-a-thon Committee.” She has since also become a member of the Finance and Investment Committee.

Many of MAF’s activities are intentionally set up to involve as many people as possible. Whether they are scholarship recipients, grant partners, volunteers, board members, or interested community members, collaboration is at the heart of all of the work being done. For Patridge, that’s the best part. “The coolest thing about the Multnomah Athletic Foundation is its ability to increase its impact by funding other nonprofits that want to get kids out and active. I just love being able to make a mark on the community and to build upon each other’s enthusiasm, energy and funding.”

“If kids can get out, be active and be part of the team, it transcends a specific sport. What you get is so much bigger than just winning and losing, it’s the friendships, it’s the community involvement,” Patridge says. “I love the inclusiveness of the foundation. I think it parallels with being involved in sports. That’s one of the greatest things about sports — you’re part of something.”

Beer Run Brings Bikes to Kids in Need Ferguson-Murphy event celebrates 45 years of giving, and tipping back

By Jake Ten Pas

B

art Ferguson remembers the first bike he got for Christmas. It was a blue Schwinn Stingray. His parents, Denny and Rorie, parked it under the tree, and that initial glimpse of it as he came down the stairs still fills him with the joy of a whole new world opening up like a present.

Friday before Christmas. Looking at the photo snapped that year, it’s hard not to hear a Ken Burns-esque narrator recounting the early-morning adventures of this short-shorted crew of athletic outlaws posing with beer cans in hand and mischievous smiles on their faces.

“I was probably 8 or 10 years old, somewhere in there. I wanted to open the rest of my presents, but what I wanted to do immediately was get on that bike and just go ride. That’s what we all did,” Bart recalls. “That freedom you feel, it allows you to grow into an independent person.”

Stocking caps, flannels, Adidas stripes and one incredible mustache also mark the fashions. They’re gathered outside Barbi’s Café, a long-gone watering hole for truckers and dock workers in inner southeast. The next year, the names behind all these mugs would adorn the first official Ferguson-Murphy t-shirt.

Five years ago, Bart and his cousin, Ted Ferguson, pumped new air into the tires of the Ferguson-Murphy Beer Run, an event that starts at 6:15 a.m. every Christmas Eve day in MAC’s Turnaround. Forty years earlier, Denny came up with the idea after being struck by a simple, ingenious idea.

“What if we stopped and got a beer halfway through our morning run?,” he wondered. The thirst for suds has seldom led to humanitarian endeavors, but that’s exactly how it happened. What began with a band of athletic rebels stopping at a Produce Row bar, grew into an event that’s gifted more than 2,000 bicycles and helmets to Portland kids through local nonprofits Lifeworks NW and the Relief Nursery since 2014.

DECEMBER 2019

This is the strange, true story of an annual happening so Portland it could make a hipster blush. Crack open a cold one, relax, and let Bart, Denny and Rorie pedal down memory lane.

Sometimes a Great Notion “They’ve done a fantastic job. It’s bigger and better than it ever was,” Denny says of the new Ferguson-Murphy Beer Run & Bike Ride. “It was always a shoe-string deal in my day, but at its heart, it’s a really good concept.”

The first Beer Run took place in 1974, and for six or so years, it was always the

“I used to buy the shirts, print everybody’s name on them who participated in it, and distribute them for the next year’s run,” Rorie recalls. From the very beginning, any Ferguson old enough to participate was involved in some way. “I’d take the kids, and later the grandkids, and we would all set up the beer and put it out for the runners. One year, in the early ’80s, it got so cold that as I was pouring the beer into the cup, it froze!,” she says.

Every year at 4:15 a.m., the lights went on at the Furguson house, and Christmas music would set the stage for the arrival of friends and family eager to pitch in.

Breakfast — and a shot of Jameson for the adults — would warm bellies, and the love

and good fortune of the family was such that it simply had to spill over.

“At first, we raised a few hundred dollars, but eventually it got up to $2,000 or $3,000,” Denny explains. “We’d donate it to the Easter Seals or United Way. If everybody was going to go out running and have a beer together, we figured why not raise a little money along the way to help those who weren’t as lucky as we were.”

For the next four decades, the run would pretty much continue in this improvisational fashion, with attendance ebbing and flowing like the Coors Light Denny favored. Some years the cops would show up and eye the celebratory mob, but Bart says they never bothered them. It’s hard to think ill of windbreaker-bedecked joggers singing along to “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” even if it’s only 7 a.m.

Denny has nothing but great memories, especially of that fateful present he bought Bart one year around the first Beer Run. “The best thing I ever got him was a bike.

He’s always been such a warm-hearted, giving kid, but I had no idea what that bike would eventually inspire.”

staying up all night. “Low and behold, every year, without any promotion, probably between 25 and 50 people would show up.

We’d pour them a beer, wish them happy holidays, and send them on their way. Both my parents have been so giving their whole life, whether it’s money or time or having people who needed a home stay with us, they’ve always been that way. That is how we were raised, and that is a big part of why all of us have the passion to help people.”

When Bart says “all of us,” he means it. From Ted, who handles the logistics of buying, building and delivering bikes to another cousin, Pat, whose company, Riverpoint Medical, provides warehouse space for storage and assembly, the whole family gets into the spirit. Ed Murphy’s grandson, Patrick, marks the route, fellow MAC member Eric Larpenteur puts up the inflatables and other flair that set the tone for the start of the race at MAC, and club Early Bird Alison Rosenblum assists with marketing and strategy.

“It extended Christmas by a long shot,” Bart says of his family’s charitable tradition.

“You’d come home after the run and then have a really, really, really long Christmas Eve Day. It was so fun!”

“My sister, Rosanne, and brother, Matt, have been instrumental in keeping the tradition alive! My sister in law, Hadley Ferguson, who is a famous artist, created the logo,” Bart adds. More Fergusons, Heitkempers and other extended relations do everything from accounting to driving the trucks that drop the bikes at six different locations, including KGW, Jesuit High School and Friends of the Children.

Conditioned by his former Marine dad to get up at 4:15 a.m. anyway, he never resented the early mornings, even when, during his college years, it sometimes meant

Long involved with Lifeworks NW and the Relief Nursery, Bart and Ted decided to ask one year, “What’s the best gift these kids could get, that they’d really appreciate?”

Breaking Away

“They told me, ‘It’s a bike,’ and that made so much sense,” Bart recounts. “That allows them to play with the other kids, be free, and not be hindered by lack of access to transportation.”

“Ted and I started out buying two bikes, and then we said, ‘OK, let’s do this. Let’s see if we can turn it into a fundraiser, making sure bikes and helmets get to kids who need them. We’ve tried to increase the numbers of bikes each year, because we want to do that for the kids. Last year we were at about 500, and this year we have around 400 so far.”

New Practice. New Location. Same Surgeon.

NOW OPEN IN NW PORTLAND

Dr. Michael M. Kim is a double board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon who is Princeton-educated and Johns Hopkins-trained with over 10 years of experience. He is a proud native of the Pacific Northwest and has now opened his own private practice in order to craft the best patient experience with no compromises.

Dr. Kim’s surgeries and procedures include: • Rhinoplasty & Revision Rhinoplasty • Facelift • Necklift • Browlift • Eyelid lift • Lip lift • Non-surgical facial injectable treatments

And now introducing EmbraceRF, the latest in minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation. It is comprised of three game-changing technologies called Facetite, Accutite, and Morpheus8 that all use radiofrequency energy to help remodel skin and soft tissue. Facetite and Accutite perform Radiofrequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL) that liquifies fat cells and tightens the connections between the skin and deeper structures. Both are excellent alternatives to surgery for those in the “treatment gap” whose agi aging changes can no longer be sufficiently treated by injectables alone, but do not need or want surgery (such as a facelift or necklift) with its associated scars, downtime, and cost. Morpheus8 is the deepest and most effective radiofrequency microneedling device on the market and can vastly improve fine lines and wrinkles of the face and body. Call us today to schedule a consultation to see if these treatments are right for you.

CLUB NEWS Continued from page 39

A Christmas Eve Story While not an official MAC event, the club has contributed in a few ways. Besides hosting the start and finish of the race, MAC has allowed Bart and Ted to sell shirts and otherwise raise money on the premises, and also made it very easy for members to donate via their accounts. The club’s doors open extra early each year so the FergusonMurphy crew can set up, and in years past, MAC has provided hot beverages and pastries upon the runners’ return.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

“You don’t have to give thousands of dollars to change a child’s Christmas,” Bart says. “It’s $75 for a bike and a helmet, and we’ve broken it down so it’s really easy for everyone to grasp and make happen.”

Other local partners include Fred Meyer, Penske and Maletis Beverage. Runners now break in front of Le Bistro Montage, which gladly allows the gathering on its stoop.

Planning the event has nearly become an all-year odyssey, with Bart overseeing the fundraising starting as early as March.

“We love it so much, and there’s nothing better that we could do to celebrate Christmas Eve, not just the day of, but all year long. To see the look on those kids’ faces when they get their bikes is everything. And it all started with my mom, dad and Ed. They were running at 6 a.m., stopping for a beer, and running back. I mean, who does that?” WM

This time last year I was just diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and only a month into my chemotherapy treatment. During my time in treatment, MAC employees donated their sick time to me to help keep some income flowing while I was out of work. Similarly, many MAC members donated their money, time and resources to support me along the way. Thanks in large part to the special community at MAC, I am happy to say that I am thriving and cancer-free a year later. Thank you everyone and happy holidays!

—Chi Harris, assistant climbing coach Heather Lawes and her Bounce Back class for new mothers made my summer so special. I enjoyed her positive and welcoming attitude, as well as the camaraderie she so carefully nurtured in her class. She was kind and supportive of all the new mothers, fostering fitness at all levels of skill and ability and encouraging us to do what we could. I looked forward to her classes with my new daughter every week, and will treasure the memories going forward. Thank you, Heather!

—Sophia Macleay Cardwell

At Your Service would like to thank everyone that stops by to see us. We’re thankful for the stories, the laughs, the wisdom and insight, but most of all, your smiling faces!

Happy Holidays!

Here’s to Kristin, our 7:30 a.m. swim instructor who is so enthusiastic, energetic, kind and inspires us to never miss a chance to see her smile and be in the pool early!

—Trish Hall Hank Marcus has been such a true inspiration for our family with helping to make our child feel more included and want to come to be active at the MAC. As a junior member, it can be intimidating, but Hank has a natural presence to connect with the youth, allow them to want to grow and learn while making the activity of playing racquetball fun. He often goes above and beyond to ensure our child knows he is present even if joining other activities throughout the club. He is a one of a kind. We honestly can say we have felt more included, and part of a family with the club as a direct result of Hank.

Jacob Saechao is a tremendous asset to the Aquatics department. He has helped to inspire our child to try new aquatic sports, while helping build their confidence in 1:1 sessions. Jacob is very responsive and helpful in ensuring the right people are engaged and even tries to help with keeping the youth engaged while having fun and meeting them at their level. We look forward to continuing to work with Jacob and others in the Aquatics department every day, and love how accommodating they are always, especially Jacob.

Joseph Osterman, the outdoor supervisor, is super helpful.

When trying rock climbing for the first time, he was always present, engaged and communicative with his staff and us, but more importantly with our child.

Jen Carpenter is the face of the MAC we always love. She has always remembered our family and makes it a point to ensure we are taken care of. She loves to ensure families have what they need and is tremendous at follow up.

A Visit from St. Joe (with apologies to Clement Clarke Moore) ‘Twas the night before mat class, which is taught at the MAC With Babs at the helm and the boys in the back Foam rollers were stacked in the back by the walls With the mats and the bins full of colorful balls Now Babs was up pacing and mulling it through Thinking what kind of torture to put the class through She was wearing her sweats and her red ‘Zona shirt Massaging her psoas, which really did hurt!

When a cry issued forth from outside of the room Sounding much like a baby just out of the womb Babs ran to the door and danced over the mats She dashed through the blocks and leapt over the straps The hall was quite bright with fluorescents of light And blue carts with new towels all sparkling white She then saw something that made her feel warmer She couldn’t believe it, a Pilates reformer!

Laid on that reformer was a ghost she did know It was Mr. Pilates, known simply as Joe He was lean and real fit and a little bit earthy As he inquired of Babs, “Are your classes quite worthy?

Do you teach all the moves in a manner scholastic?

Do you work on their abs and their spinal thoracic?

Do they roll like a ball and then pose like a child?

Are your jackknives and spine stretches tender and mild?”

Joe then did a star, the hardest to do He followed that up with a perfect corkscrew His breathing one hundreds? A sight to behold His hip escalators were flawless and bold!

Then up in a twinkling the sprightly man rose As he stretched out his torso, his feet and his toes He lit out in a dash, his core was amazing!

He was faster than lightning, his obliques were a-blazing.

She heard him exclaim as he ran out the doors Cheers to you Teacher Babs, for improving our cores!

—Gerry Birnbach and David Richenstein

—Thank you, The Lawler Family

New Year’s Bash Keeps Members Coming Back MAC families look forward to annual festivities

B) Get a babysitter and go party, but risk missing the kids.

the event for the past five years – and not just with her own family. Kmetz, husband Stanley Cocke, and their daughter, Emilie, are joined each year by fellow members David Hansen and Anna McCoy and their children, Ryder and Lola.

Think that’s a no-brainer? As a MAC member, it’s easy to. Each year, the Family New Year’s Eve party offers a place where parents and kids can come together to revel with friends amid celebratory cuisine, dazzling decorations and all-ages activities.

“The kids come in fired up, ready to go.

We get some really great food in them, and they have wonderful entertainment there was a magician one year, a comedian another - and then it culminates with the balloon drop. Nobody feels like they had anything less than the full meal deal for New Year’s, and it’s only nine o’clock!”

Kmetz says. “If the adults want to keep going, we can either continue back at our homes or out on the town with babysitters at home.”

“This New Year’s Eve party is just such a great way to start the year,” says member Heather Kmetz, who’s been attending

“It’s really fun. We look forward to it every year,” Hansen says. “For the New Year’s celebration, they really put their best

foot forward. As a family event, it’s a spectacular one. Lola loves to get dressed up and dance, so that is fun. Ryder isn’t quite so into getting dressed up, and he might scratch and claw at it a little bit, but he really enjoys it. He just doesn’t want to tell you that he enjoys it.”

Ryder and Emilie are roughly seven months apart in age, currently 13 and 14 respectively, and like brother and sister according to their parents. They are at that age when they are starting to pull away from their parents and seek out independence. But whatever’s going on at school or with other teens, Hansen and Kmetz agree that MAC remains a place where they can let down their guard and have a good time.

“Emilie and Ryder will go dance together, and I feel like that is not something Ryder will do outside of the club,” Kmetz says. “You have an opportunity to

Family New Year’s Eve Party Party animals can dance, dine and enjoy face painting and a photo booth, performances, a lavish buffet and a DJ.

Register at themac.com using code MEV590.

Anna McCoy, David Hansen and Lola McCoy-Hansen know that you’re among friends regardless of whether you know those people or not.

It allows you to live outside the parameters of school pressures, and that’s freeing unto itself.”

Stan and me being this little old lady and man, having our date night in the corner of 1891. It’s a very strong, safe community, and I can’t imagine a time when we wouldn’t have MAC in our lives.”

“Ryder has yet to go to a middle school dance, but he dances at the New Year’s Eve party,” Hansen adds. “MAC is a safe place.

Everybody is into it; everyone participates.

Lola will dance to anything. She’ll put it out there!”

This year’s theme is Zoo Year’s Eve, and Kmetz says she’s already got an animal-print cocktail dress picked out for the occasion.

Hansen says he’s still giving it some thought.

“I could put my Bojack Horseman head on and run around, but only a third of the people would get it,” he says, laughing. “Last year, we dressed up for the Putting on the

While eight-year-old Lola and the teens might seem like the event’s target demographics, it’s quite clear that the parents get just as much out of the set up as the kids do. “Pre-kids, we would go out and do something for New Year’s Eve every year, and now we carry on that tradition as a fun family affair,” Hansen says. “Every year, I meet new people at the event. And I can always step out to one of the bars in the club and get a drink if I want. They make a mean Manhattan.”

Glitz theme at the Father Daughter Dance, and Lola could have doubled as a disco ball, she was so sparkly.”

“One year, there was a dance contest,” Kmetz recalls. “It was hysterical because I look over and see David and Lola dancing, and me and Emilie are dancing, and realize we are the finalists. We ended up getting first and second place, and then we all went to the movies together on the passes that we won.”

“You know, there is some stuff that you don’t outgrow. You never get too old for dancing and balloon drops, right?” WM

Kmetz says she enjoys the champagne handed out for the New Year’s toast, and she typically opts for “pink bubbles” throughout the evening. As a vegetarian, however, she says it’s the excellent spread of food that impresses her. “There are limitless opportunities for eating all night long, and with good nutritional outcomes.

MAC’s menu offerings have been pretty extraordinary under the current chef.”

“Yes, the club is wonderful for children and family activities, but this is a lifelong membership,” she says. “I could see

MidWeek Ski Adventures F

or eight straight weeks last winter, MAC members filled 55 seats of a luxury bus traveling to and from Mt. Hood Meadows each Thursday. If history is a guide, it will be wise to sign up early for the 2020 ski season!

The MAC Mid-Week Ski program is nearly 50 years old. Originally it was billed as a girls’ club, exclusively catering to women. Susie Niedermeyer Neighbors, a high schooler at the time, recalls picking her mother up after the ski bus returned.

She describes her mom and her cohorts as “bubbling” as they got off the bus.

When the opportunity arose about nine years ago to restart the ski bus, Neighbors jumped at the chance. Although riders now include men, the character of the trip has not changed. As Neighbors recalls, early

on in the second iteration, a skier from the original program stepped onto the motor coach steps and asked who was going to bring the coffee, and where she could find the sign-up sheet to coordinate hors d’oeuvres for the ride home. Without a pause, riders jumped up to volunteer, reigniting a culture that continues today.

Besides skis, boots and poles, riders pack morning coffee, baked goods, crudités, cheese and crackers, fruit, wine and beer.

Special kudos go out to Dan McNeil, who has become “the coffee man,” lugging Starbucks for the crowd!

The benefits of a midweek ski bus may be obvious, but bear repeating.

On Thursdays, there are reduced lift ticket prices, no lift lines and no crowds.

Program veteran Dave Davidson notes,

“It is great not having to drive, but there’s also the camaraderie! I’ve met the most interesting folks on the bus. It’s super fun. I ski with all the other bus riders at one time or another and we get together for lunch at the bar. Usually, at the end of a ski day, folks are tired and fall asleep. But on the bus, every mile gets louder from the talking! It’s just an awesome event.”

Adds Neighbors, “Almost everyone who gets a taste of the mid-week ski program becomes hooked!”

The upcoming season starts Thursday, Jan. 9. Sign up today at skihood.com or contact Neighbors with questions: susie.neighbors@gmail.com or 503-830-9188.

The Muffin Men name was coined by Bennett’s late wife because the men would reward themselves with beer and muffins after games. The Muffin Men truly highlight a quintessential MAC experience — the chance to form lifelong friendships and close bonds while engaging in a lifetime sport. Cheers to the Muffin Men!

ATHLETICS Coaches Corner: Cool-Down Routine Stretching after a workout is important.

Stretching after tennis is essential. Whether you just wrapped up a match or an intense training practice, your muscles are tired and sore. Creating a cool-down routine after strenuous play will help relieve your muscle tension, speed up recovery and protect you from common tennis injuries.

A cool-down routine should include static stretches, starting first with the larger muscle groups (glutes, quadriceps, back, chest and hamstrings) and moving to the smaller muscles (shoulders, triceps, biceps and calves). Pay special attention to shoulders, wrists and forearms, which get extensive use with repeated serving, forehand groundstrokes and general tennis play.

Here are a few more tips.

Get a second opinion on your financial health.

Investors have survived market swings and corrections before. But it’s natural to wonder if your current plan is keeping you on track toward achieving your financial goals. Whatever’s on your mind, we’re here to listen, and we’ll help you evaluate your plan.

Call for a complimentary portfolio consultation.

1. Hold a challenging, but comfortable, stretch position for 15-30 seconds while breathing normally.

2. Start on your tighter side and only stretch within your physical limits. You should never feel pain while doing static stretches.

3. Remember not to lock your joints.

4. Repeat each stretch two or three times.

Finally, just like learning a new tennis skill, perfecting a cool-down routine takes time and practice. Do it every day, and you will reap the benefits.

The Tennis Lounge, by Courts 5-7, and the East Tennis Lounge, by Court 1, have stretching straps and posters to use before and after playing.

ATHLETICS Racquetball Is Fast, Fun, and Family Friendly

magine two players inside a closed court with their battle gear on. One of their racquets strikes a ball with incredible force, sending it off, at times, in excess of 100 miles per hour. Their opponent has only split seconds to respond. As they rally, players navigate the small enclosure while exerting considerable speed, balance, strength and mental fortitude. This is racquetball: an exciting sport worth watching and playing!

Some might say that racquetball had its heyday during the 1980s, but racquetball is, in fact, alive and well, and played around the world. The Multnomah Athletic Club has 10 courts in the subbasement with hundreds of members — of different ages, genders, sizes, abilities and strength — playing on a regular basis.

Racquetball is a fun, aerobic, competitive, strategic and family friendly sport.

Regardless of one’s ability, there’s arguably no better combination of fitness, competition and camaraderie available with less than an hour’s time commitment.

Racquetball is played on a court 40 feet long by 20 feet wide by 20 feet high.

ATHLETICS the service line. As long as the ball doesn’t hit the floor, the ceiling, or more than two walls prior to crossing this line, it’s a good serve. Then, the receiver must return the ball to the front wall without the ball hitting the floor more than once to keep the rally going. There are additional rules, but that’s the basic information anyone needs to start playing.

Couples and families looking for a sport they can play together are encouraged to try racquetball. Those looking for a new way to up-level their aerobic and anaerobic fitness (burning 500-900 calories per hour!) might want to try racquetball.

Court reservations are a breeze, and can generally be made up to an hour before play. Head to the subbasement at any of the times noted at right, and there’s bound to be someone on hand encouraging a new player to try the game and showing them the ropes.

Equipment is available to borrow from At Your Service, and new intramural league players are assigned a mentor through a Roll-Out Mentorship program. For more information, contact Club Pro Hank Marcus at racquetball@themac.com

From the Archives M

AC women and their guests viewed the latest winter wear during “The Best Christmas Ever” fashion show in December 1963.

On Dec. 11 and 12, the gym of the 1912 clubhouse was transformed with drapery into the “Fuchsia Room” to host a fashion show put on

by Best’s Apparel.

More than 600 attendees enjoyed lunch and holiday fashions over the two days, with Evelyn Gibson at the microphone and the musical accompaniment of Jack Howell’s ensemble.
