rowing up in East Sussex, England, I spent significant time playing sports at school. I enjoyed fencing, cricket, rugby and squash. I moved to the southwest of England for university and William Lee my early profesPRESIDENT sional career, and I met my wife, Allison Grebe Lee, when we were both working for a food company in Wiltshire. After visiting her hometown of Portland briefly in 2003, we moved here permanently in 2004. I recall her telling me at the time how excited she was that I would be able to join her as a member of a place called MAC. At the time, I couldn’t fully grasp why this was such a big deal. As soon as I walked through the front door of MAC, I started to understand what a special place it is and how lucky we are to be part of this community. With more than 600,000 square feet of athletics and social space to navigate, it was, at first, somewhat overwhelming, I played some squash, I swam, and now I spend most of my exercise time in the E&C room using cardio machines and free weights with Allison and the other Early Birds. Once our kids were born, I experienced MAC as a sports parent. My older son, Finn (seventh grade), is a breakdancer on the MAC Crew team and does hip hop and boxing at the club. My younger son, Logan (third grade), has a goal to try every sport the club offers before he hits high school. He’s off to a good start, having participated in aquatics, climbing, dance, gymnastics, karate and tennis already. They both love MAC summer camps, Joe’s and the Fit Zone, and Finn also serves on the Junior Events Committee. It wasn’t long before I came to understand MAC as more than simply a great place to work out. I was encouraged to join the committee system by past MAC President Darcy Henderson. Through my time on the Property Committee, I got to see behind the scenes of this huge facility and learn how enormous projects such as the 50-meter Pool and the new kitchen and Ballroom came together, representing the voice of the members throughout

the process. From there, I moved to the Athletic Committee, various ad hocs and then the board. The more time I spend here and the more friends I make, the more valuable MAC becomes to me and my family. The dining experience in 1891 is second to none, with the best food and service in town. The fun, friendly atmosphere in the Sports Pub is a family favorite, and MACtinis is a welcome respite at the end of a long week. With a social calendar including fashion shows, holiday decorating, Family Fridays and trivia nights, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy. To top it off, MAC staff and the Executive Leadership Team make everyone feel as though they are in their home away from home. There simply aren’t enough words to describe MAC; it must be experienced to be understood. I want to extend a warm welcome to General Manager Charles Leverton. Charles comes to us most recently from Nike, where he was the global director of food, fitness and wellness — a perfect match for our club. Charles went through a rigorous interview process and impressed everyone with his knowledge, skills and passion for athletics and wellness. Our officers for 2020 are Vice President Marianne Brophy Ritchie, Treasurer Connie Dunkle-Weyrauch and Secretary Mike Silvey. For the past two years, we have been working as a team through issues large and small. Each of these three have different, impressive backgrounds and histories with MAC, and our skillsets complement each other perfectly. I am excited to continue our journey this year. Joining us are our second-year trustees, Chase McPherson, Rob Torch, Reidun Zander and Stephen Brown, and our new first-year trustees Marilyn Whitaker, Kyle Goulard, Mike Mathews and Irma Valdez. I thank them for their extraordinary commitment to serve on the board. Finally, I want to express my deep gratitude to our outgoing officers: President Holly Lekas, Vice President Rebecca Frinell, Treasurer Sandy Moore and Secretary Tanya McGee. Led by Holly, this group of passionate, committed trustees inspired us with their dedication to their roles and our club. I have learned much from all of them, and I will endeavor to live up to their example. I am proud to call them friends. MARCH 2020

ello MAC! I can’t believe that I have the honor of writing to all of you as your new general manager and, more importantly, that I have the unbelievable opportunity to steward this amazCharles Leverton ing organization GENERAL MANAGER as it continues its long-standing tradition as one of America’s oldest communities dedicated to health and athleticism. To me, the real difference between MAC and other health-focused businesses around Portland is the group that built it. This is the only organization where community, in the form of our 26 founders, came before the building. Many generations later, this inspired vision — a community focused on athleticism and health — is still thriving 130 years later.

The richness of this club and its broad spectrum of members, who span generations, is beyond inspirational. As I write this, I am on day three at the office. Each day, I am more inspired by what I see. This morning, I met a grandfather and fourth-generation member and his four-year-old granddaughter. I met a group of pickleball players, also long-time members, who spryly challenged me to a game. I met a group of teenagers who were coming for lunch with their friends, and I met a family of five enjoying a dinner after their numerous sporting activities. The richness of this club and its broad spectrum of members, who span generations, is beyond inspirational. It is just as impressive to see how the committees, board and staff manage to juggle the complexities of serving such a diverse set of needs and preferences with such grace.

I have been fortunate to dedicate my career to improving the lives of others, and I am beyond excited to continue that passion as your new general manager. The ability to guide and serve MAC as it continues to evolve is, arguably, the pinnacle of my career. Helping lead the conversation with all of you about how we can continue to keep the founders’ vision thriving is what gets me excited to come to work each day. The good news is that I don’t think there will be a shortage of wonderfully engaged members who are ready to offer their advice and guidance. I have already had several lunches with some of our past presidents, who shared many stories of past glories and traditions, and a few valuable lessons learned. I’ve also had lots of small “casual collisions” that have helped me better understand you and how we can best serve you. Additionally, I’ve attended several committee meetings and have learned how deeply you care about one another and the immense depth of knowledge, talent and expertise we have within our ranks. Couple that with the more-than-amazing 600 staff members, and we have a very powerful team that I believe can serve as a beacon of health to the greater Portland metro area. The year 2020 will be a big year for my family as we join the MAC community. It will also be another big year at MAC with the celebration of birthdays, anniversaries, major life moments, sporting championships and deep friendships. This is a year of opportunities, when we can explore together the future of this idea started by the 26 founders. We will build the future for the next generation of members and the foundation for the next 100 years. We will deepen our membership experiences — improving the way we welcome you, guide you, and provide you with compelling offerings. We will continue to improve our facilities and also strive to welcome an ever-growing, diverse population as we enrich our community even further. So, if you see me around the building, please don’t hesitate to stop and say hello, share your thoughts and, hopefully, a laugh or two. I look forward to listening and working with my staff to bring your ideas to life.

FACES IN THE CLUB

Alex Rios joined MAC’s Swim School in March 2019. He began swimming competitively at the age of 8 and continued with swim team through high school. During that time, he started teaching lessons, and eventually coached with the Forest Grove Swim Club for three years. Rios says that his favorite thing about teaching is having the opportunity to work with a shy child and watch them grow into a strong and confident swimmer in only a few short weeks. He also works for the Outdoor department at MAC as part of its Climbing program. Darian Small became a MAC instructor in April 2019, but her love of water goes back to the age of five, when she first swam competitively in California. She has taught swim lessons for 16 years and was a director and U.S. Masters swim coach in California for 7 years. Small has become a well-known and highly requested instructor at MAC. She says her passion and enjoyment for lessons stems from “being able to work with and help swimmers, both children and adults, overcome a deep-seated fear of the water, and getting to watch them grow in our programs.”

There’s a new sheriff in MAC Human Resources! Director Lucilla Valley joined the team in January after an exhaustive search to find the perfect leader for this important, moraleinfluencing position. She comes to the club with more than 20 years of senior management and leadership experience in education, real estate, property development, banking and the food and beverage industries. SHAUNA PENICHE

Each year, MAC Aquatics recognizes two instructors for their excellence in teaching by presenting them with the Stephani Turner Award. Funds donated to the Multnomah Athletic Foundation in memory of Coach Turner are divvied up between the two recipients. Turner is known for, among other achievements, implementing the SwimAmerica Program at MAC.

Great servers aren’t necessarily mind readers, but they can leave that impression. “Always anticipating guests needs and meeting them without being asked is what great service means to me,” says waiter extraordinaire Mary Kell. “Here at 1891, we get the invitation to the party every night, so we like to make it fun for everyone.”

“I look forward to building positive relationships and making a difference at MAC. As part of the HR team and executive leadership, I will help the club achieve its mission by enhancing the employee and member experience,” she says. Outside of work, Valley enjoys cooking, karaoke, gardening, travel, and reading books and articles that capture her interest. “I volunteer in the community and host potluck parties at my home to strengthen family bonding and friendships,” she adds.

To submit information for Faces in the Club, contact Allyson Wilinski at 503-517-7222 or awilinski@themac.com.

Regular patrons of MAC’s gourmet gastropub know Kell as the server who always has a flower tucked behind one ear. While she might be more recognizable than some of her coworkers, she says that they’re all equally worth getting to know. “Aside from all the delicious food I get to taste, my favorite part of the job is working with some of the most humble and talented kitchen and restaurant staff I’ve seen throughout my career.” Born and raised in Portland, Kell loves traveling the world with her husband, experiencing different food cultures, going to concerts, dancing and cross stitching funny quotes and sayings for her friends. As much as she enjoys her free time, she also doesn’t seem to mind coming back to work. “My experience at MAC has been really fun. I’ve made a lot of lifelong friends, and learned a lot about food preparation and proper execution.”

MAX Station Closing After nearly a year of advocacy trying to keep the Kings Hill/SW Salmon MAX station open, TriMet has decided to close it on March 1 for one year while the agency evaluates ridership and operational efficiency. The Mall/SW 4th and Mall/SW 5th Ave stations will permanently close. It’s estimated that the closures could speed up travel time through downtown by about one minute.

SHAUNA PENICHE

Members, guests and staff can ride to the Providence Park or Goose Hollow/ SW Jefferson MAX stations, or use nearby bus lines, to access the club.

Member and Staff Safety If members and staff encounter a safety issue traveling to other nearby stations, please report the incident. Reporting any issues may prompt TriMet to reconsider the Kings Hill station closure. Send comments to hello@trimet.org or call/text 503-238-RIDE in addition to alerting MAC via community@themac.com.

Tributes fall under one of five designations: memorial, anniversary, get well, birthday or recognition. To make a contribution, contact MAF Executive Director Lisa Bendt at 503-517-2350 or lbendt@ MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com. This month’s tributes are listed below, with the honored individuals’ names in bold. Charles “Chuck” Corgan (memorial)

Managers on Duty: Here to Help Part of MAC’s Member Services team, managers on duty (a.k.a. MODs) focus on creating and maintaining a safe, secure and enjoyable club environment. They provide information and assistance in both emergency and non-emergency situations during all operational hours. Because the breadth of their responsibilities is so varied, MODs have the pleasure of working with members, visitors and staff throughout the club. They clock an impressive number of steps each day (21,000 steps isn’t unheard of) while: issuing security checks, providing cash banks to restaurants when the Accounting office is closed, helping with traffic and crowd control, reuniting lost children with parents, educating members about Club Rules and intervening, when necessary, to de-escalate and resolve conflict. They even help to troubleshoot computer issues in the Reading Lounge after hours.

To Reach a Manager on Duty: • Ask any MAC staff member. • Dial “0” from any club phone and an operator will radio the MOD.

Chatten Hayes (memorial) Marilyn Grunbaum Patricia and Paula Madden Annette St. Pierre Saul Zaik (memorial)

To Report an Emergency:

Howard and Fran Hermanson

• Pick up a red phone or dial 911 on any club phone (do not use a personal cell phone).

Joan and Fred Horskotte

• Give 911 operator the location and nature of emergency. • Do not hang up; remain on the phone to answer dispatcher’s questions. During medical emergencies, MODs lead or facilitate first aid administration and summon medical assistance, when required. Members can also support efforts during emergency situations by following staff instructions and staying clear of actual incidents to allow easy access by those directly addressing the emergencies. Think of the managers on duty as the staff (to quote new board member Marilyn Whitaker) “guardians and champions” of the club’s culture. Look for a purple uniform and let the MOD know how they can help!

Multnomah Athletic Foundation provides community grants and scholarships focused on promoting athletic participation in the Portland area. Contributions made to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Learn more at MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com.

Spotlight on Reciprocal Clubs Detroit Athletic Club The original club, founded in 1887 under the spell of amateur athletics sweeping the country at the time, was later reborn in 1913 by a group of the city’s prominent automotive and industrial leaders. Located on the northern edge of downtown, in the heart of Detroit’s revitalized entertainment district, the club overlooks Comerica Park (home of Tiger’s baseball), with the city’s professional football, hockey and basketball venues, and multiple theaters, all with in a few blocks.

Olympic Club On May 6, 1860, 23 charter members founded the San Francisco Olympic Club, turning their informal gymnastics training sessions into a lasting institution.

In Memoriam Frank Noonan Dec. 19, 1943-Jan. 3, 2020 Frank Noonan, cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, colleague and friend, died Jan. 3 while vacationing on Maui with his wife, Julie. He fought a five year battle with multiple myeloma and heart arrhythmia with optimism, grace and personal strength. Frank took tremendous pride in his hometown of Santa Rosa, California. He was extremely proud of his Italian immigrant heritage and his loyalty to lifelong childhood friends. Frank attended the University of Oregon for two years and was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley then returned to Oregon to attend the University of Oregon School of Law. Frank dedicated 38 years to the legal profession in Oregon. He served as a law clerk to Judge John Kilkenny on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and then worked in the District Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. After five years in private practice, he returned to the U.S. Attorney’s office in 1984. He served as chief of the Criminal Division from 1994 to 2001, eventually retiring in 2008. Frank was known as a humble and gifted trial attorney. He received numerous awards for litigation from federal law enforcement agencies. He received the Professionalism Award from the Multnomah Bar Association in 1992. The annual U.S. Attorney’s Office Noonan Award was created upon Frank’s retirement in honor of his integrity, levelheadedness and work ethic. Frank is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Julie Gay Noonan; daughter, Jocelyn Daunheimer (Stephen); sons, Paul (Raquel) and Brad (Chelsea); three grandchildren; and siblings, Nancy Simpson and Jim Noonan, both of Santa Rosa. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Frank Noonan Sr. and Jelsie Brezzo Noonan.

A celebration of life service for Frank was held in February at Lewis & Clark College. In lieu of flowers, Frank’s family suggests donations in his honor to the following: The Sid Lezak Legacy Fellowship at Lewis & Clark Law School (law.lclark.edu/giving/the-lezak-legacyprogram); The Frank Noonan Beaverton High School Scholar Athlete Award (donations to the Frank Noonan Memorial Fund accepted at any Wells Fargo branch); or the Stenzel Healing Garden at Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital (legacyhealthgiving.org/stenzel).

Janet Wagner Cleary Nov. 6, 1953-Jan. 23, 2020 Janet Wagner Cleary was born to Mitch and Jean Cleary on Nov. 6, 1953, in Waco, Texas, where her father served in the Air Force. Soon after, the family returned to Eugene, Oregon, where Janet was raised with her two younger brothers. After attending grade school and junior high there, the family moved to Lake Oswego, where Janet graduated from Lake Oswego High School in 1971. Janet was a 1975 alumna of Oregon State University and member of Delta Gamma sorority. Janet’s grandmother, Thelma Wagner, inspired her career in interior design that spanned 45 years. As a teenager, Janet organized her grandmother’s samples and developed a knowledge of fabrics that served her well later in life. Soon after graduation from college, Janet joined Wayne Martin, an interior design showroom in Portland, working with the area’s leading interior designers. Seeking to broaden her knowledge and skills, she moved to New York City, studied at Parsons School of Design, and worked at a design showroom. Janet returned to Portland in 1981, joined Sandra Lamer Interiors and became one of the most gifted interior designers in Portland. Most recently as LaNoue Edwards Interiors, she had a devoted following of loyal clients because she was able to accommodate their style with her creative touch.

Janet married her beloved husband, Barry Edwards, on May 4, 1985, at St Mark’s Episcopal Parish in northwest Portland. Janet helped raise Christopher, her stepson. Together Barry and Janet had two beautiful daughters, Calleson and Cameron. Janet was unique in many ways. A lifelong athlete and an avid sports fan, Janet was captain of her high school swim team, a member of the Pilettes dance squad, and more recently a Timbers season ticket holder. Playfully competitive, Janet loved games and puzzles of all kinds. Playing cards with her brothers was a favorite pastime. Gifted with both analytical and artistic capabilities, Janet’s math skills were a source of pride, and her creativity and design aesthetic were extraordinary. Janet’s love of fashion was iconic. She was a superb cook and entertainer, making all feel special with her detailed touches Janet was an incredible spirit who touched many lives. She was insightful and a good listener, making her a special confidante to many. Often, her clients became close friends. Dear to Janet were her book group of 40 years, dinner group of more than 35 years, Ascension Episcopal Parish, the Town Club, and Multnomah Athletic Club, where she seldom missed a Zumba class. In August 2019, Janet was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a lethal form of brain cancer. The disease took her much too soon. Janet was predeceased by her parents. She is survived by her husband, Barry; her daughters, Calleson (Alex) and Cameron; her stepson, Christopher (Lori); brothers, John (Susie) and David (Jennifer); grandchildren, Madden and Payton; and nieces and nephews Morgan, Will, Willie, Annie, Jase and Gracie. A celebration of life was held in February. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Brain Tumor Association (abta.org), American Cancer Society (cancer.org) or the Portland Art Museum.

The Noonan family expresses sincere appreciation to Dr. Gerald Segal and Dr. John McAnulty for their professional expertise and compassionate care of Frank during his illness.

gosh, we have good art for really cheap,” says Maryam Zare, another member who volunteers with Assistance League.

ne of Portland’s best-curated boutiques might fly under many fashionistas’ radars. Located at 4000 SW 117th Ave., it’s far from the tony shopping hubs of the Pearl District and Washington Square, or the thrift-store treasure trove of Hawthorne and Hollywood.

“Our consignment shop is a great place for people who are looking to downsize; they bring in good quality furniture, rugs, crystal, china, not to mention fur. Someone may have bought a nice piece of jewelry or a fancy vase on vacation for hundreds of dollars years ago, and now we are able to make it available for a very affordable price. Many agree to consign with us for a lower price than other establishments because they love the cause we support.”

What makes this destination worth the trip is the cause it serves. The volunteer-run consignment shop and upscale thrift store provide the main source of revenue for Portland’s chapter of the Assistance League, a national nonprofit dedicated to improving the quality of life for some of America’s most vulnerable young people. In the past 20-plus years, income from the shops has helped provide new clothing to thousands of children in the Portland metro area. “Operation School Bell is our flagship program. We serve about 4,000 school children a year in Portland, Beaverton and Hillsboro through it,” says MAC member and former Assistance League chapter president Jamie Marucha. “Since it started in 1998, we’ve worked very closely with the school districts to help us identify what the kids actually need.” That means new clothes for students who might have only ever worn hand-me-downs. “We have a ton of retired teachers and other school personnel as volunteers, and they’ve seen in the classroom exactly how important it is for a kid to come to school with clothes that are appropriate. Meaning they’re not wearing flip flops in winter. They’re not wearing things that are too small or with holes in them,” Marucha continues. “Otherwise the kids pick on them and they’re at risk for dropping out, or they don’t come to school on a day when they don’t have a winter coat and it’s too cold.” At least 15 current MAC members have been so moved by this mission that they’ve dedicated their time to running the thrift

Jamie Marucha, former Assistance League chapter president store, partnering with companies such as Fred Meyer to support their efforts, and helping to stage the annual Promenade Portland benefit for Assistance League. Held at MAC, the event was inspired in part by the annual Holiday Fashion Show, and brings together the looks of locally owned boutiques and the surprisingly luxurious styles sold at the Assistance League’s retail location. “We have designer sales, and it’s an event,” says Assistance League volunteer and MAC member Rosalie Stevenson. “[Customers] get wonderful, fashionable merchandise at great prices.” “In the thrift shop, we have housewares, books and CDs, videos and DVDS. We have linen, suits and other clothing for men, athletic wear, shoes and artwork. Oh my

Profits from items sold at the consignment shop portion of the business are split with the seller, who gets 60 percent, with the other 40 percent going entirely to fund Assistance League projects. All proceeds from goods sold in the thrift store go to efforts such as Operation School Bell and a new scholarship program for those studying trades at Portland Community College. Stevenson says that Assistance League has funded a wide range of charitable ventures through her years of service, from participating in Janus Youth’s Cordero House, a residential treatment program for boys who have experienced sexual abuse, to providing assault kits to local hospitals. “Now, we are working with PCC to assist young people who need some help in their future careers as plumbers or electricians, for example. We help them with their tuition or books or materials. PCC comes to us and give us the profiles of the students, and then we decide how best we can help them.” Recently, local Assistance League members revamped Operation School Bell’s model, so that instead of members flying to Continued on page 25

Continued from page 23 clothing shows to procure items in bulk for kids, they’re teaming up with Fred Meyer to give kids vouchers so that they can shop for themselves. “We’re really excited about the new shopping event program for all of our kids because they can pick exactly what they need,” Marucha says. “If they want a hoodie or a lightweight rain jacket or a heavy winter coat, they’ll be able to pick that out. Or if they need a pair of shoes for recess or for a sports team, they can go that route.” “It’s really fun watching kids come in, and seeing their different personalities reflected in what ends up in their shopping cart. Some girls will have a whole mix-and-match set of skirts, pants, tops, and leggings, so that you can’t believe how much they were able to get for $135,” she adds. “Or you might see student athletes come in and they want a Nike quick dry shirt and some sneakers. That’s what is going to make them feel good, and they’re going to wear it every day.” “They like to buy what the kids at school have. I think that, particularly with the girls, they’re so aware of what their girlfriends are wearing,” says Barbara Durante, who joined MAC and the Assistance League around the same time, roughly 40 years ago. “We ask the parents’ advice quite often, but generally kids come in by themselves, and they like that independence, too.”

Carol Bray and Barbara Durante in the AL shop.

“Kids who are involved in extracurricular activities, whether it’s sports or drama, tend to be more successful and remain invested in their schooling experience,” she adds. “Having clothes that help support them in their desire to take part in something they need to get dressed up, or down, for is incredibly important to that.” MAC members who volunteer with Assistance League say that having an organization and purpose to stay involved with has value for them, too. “It’s been a big part of my life to volunteer and be on the board,” Stevenson says. “A lot of volunteers are retired and say, ‘I need to do something.’ And it’s something satisfying because it’s all going back into the community.” “For me, it’s a friendship thing,” says Durante. “My husband passed away eight years ago, and Assistance League has been a godsend because I just got more involved, and have been a long time. I have a lot of good friends now. I think we all do!” Clearly, constituents of this conscientious crew enjoy themselves whenever they get together. Next, it will be at MAC on April 27 for Promenade Portland, emceed by club favorite Poison Waters. In addition

to showing off their own goods and giving members a glimpse into some of the city’s coolest indie boutiques, there’s a silent auction and a social lunch to help all attendees tap into the good will that Assistance League engenders. “This event has been really successful. I’m sure it’ll sell out this year for the fourth year in a row. Part of our success, a big part of it, is MAC and its staff. The catering staff, Kate Lupinacci, the AV staff, they’ve really been an integral part in helping us build success, and we’re very grateful for that,” Marucha explains. “Our members, and the guests they bring, I think a lot of what they’re coming to see is MAC and enjoy the wonderful food and great service here.” In addition to participating in the auction and volunteering at the shops, Zare points out that those who buy, consign or donate are helping, too. “I like to encourage everyone to join Assistance League and put the skills you have honed during your life to use. Whatever your talents, from marketing, to accounting, to merchandising, we have an opportunity for you to get involved, give back to your community and feel awesome, all at the same time.” WM

Spencer’s Gifts:

Former President Keeps History Alive From naming to framing, motivated member left his mark on MAC By Jake Ten Pas

ext time members meet in one of the private dining rooms on MAC’s second floor, they should pause to think of the history behind the plaque outside the door. Whether dining in Duniway, connecting in Couch, listening and learning in Lownsdale, or planning a party in Pettygrove, they’re subconsciously paying tribute to Portland’s past. For that, thank the Spencer brothers. George Spencer was elected president of MAC’s Board of Trustees in 1988, but was busy sealing his legacy long before that. As a member of the Arts Subcommittee in the early 1980s, he helped procure several pieces that still adorn the club, including Swimmers, the sculpture that hangs over the Reading Lounge fireplace. It was MAC legend Mel Fox who first encouraged Spencer to get involved. As the latter tells it, Fox was general manager of the club, and the two had become acquainted through the Portland Interscholastic League. One day, Fox cornered Spencer and said, “Get involved, for crying out loud!” He did, and by the time Fox passed away in August 1984, Spencer had established a reputation around the club such that former president Stuart A. Hall eventually approached him with another opportunity to make an impact.

A Room by Any Other Name “We were talking one day, and he said, ‘I know your brother is a historian of some note here in Portland. We have a lot of rooms upstairs. I’m thinking maybe they all ought to be named,” Spencer recalls. His older brother, Arthur Spencer, is the middle of seven boys from two marriages, and worked for a number of years at the Oregon Historical Society. Together, he and George built a chart with a list of

possibilities, both working under the guiding direction that this was a chance to pay homage to the local history of which MAC is an undeniable part. “I’m a born-again historian, George says. “I never cared for it. In high school and college, it was memorization to get through the class. But I have a much greater appreciation for history now.”

“…The names of those [private dining] rooms are a lot of the really great Portland pioneers,” — George Spencer

To illustrate, Spencer tells the story of how Portland got its name by way of a coin toss. Francis Pettygrove from Portland, Maine, squared off against Asa Lovejoy from Boston, and each wanted to name the Clearing, as Rose City was known in those days, after his hometown. Fortunately, Pettygrove won. “That’s trivia more than anything else, but the names of those Continued on page 29 MARCH 2020

rooms are a lot of the really great Portland pioneers,” George adds.

The More They Stay the Same

Fielding History Lessons

“Life goes on. I still use the club on a regular basis. I love the meetings with the past presidents because it gives us all a chance to get together.

While Arthur isn’t currently a member, George joined sometime around 1950, and never left. He remembers taking swim lessons, playing in the night basketball league, and learning baseball by way of MAC’s little league team.

While Portland and MAC continue to evolve, Spencer says some current aspects of the area remain true to the intentions of the city founders. “Almost from the time most of them settled here and invested in property ownership, they were very interested in creating, particularly in the South Park Blocks, a green stretch from where Portland State is down to Burnside.”

In 1957, at age 15, he was part of a team that “barnstormed tournament after tournament,” ultimately making it all the way to the National Championship. His takeaway from that summer, though, was a lesson in standing up to racial discrimination told beautifully in the 2016 MAF 25th Anniversary publication, “A Collection of Inspirational Stories.” Spencer played a key role in the founding of MAF, along with member John Herman and then general manager, Steve Tidrick. His belief in the ability of sports to empower youth — and adults — was cemented through his career as an amateur athlete, as a director of the foundation, and his involvement in club governance.

The More Things Change George’s grandfather, Arthur C. Spencer, was president of the Board of Trustees for two years, from 1931-32. Walking through the Hall of Presidents, or even by the Wall of Champions or Reading Lounge, with Spencer is a historical tour not just of the men and women who’ve made MAC great, but of the eras that defined Portland as a city. “Life was a whole lot different than now,” he says of his childhood. “I used to fly down Broadway Drive on my bike with my glove on the handlebar, and I’d spend most of my day playing in Duniway Park. It was a golden time.” The park’s namesake, Abigail Scott Duniway, was a women’s rights advocate and a pioneer in the suffrage movement. “That had to be one of the room names, for sure,” Spencer explains. He fondly recalls the years between 1955 and ’59, when “the Portland Interscholastic League had great teams in all sports. The metro area was just sort of waking up, growing, and expanding. Beaverton at that time was, I believe, the only metro school, the rest of it was farmland.”

“A lot of our environmental roots, right up to Tom McCall in particular, our strongest environmentalist, go back to that era. Spencer in 1989

“Life was a whole lot different than now,” he says of his childhood. “I used to fly down Broadway Drive on my bike with my glove on the handlebar, and I’d spend most of my day playing in Duniway Park. It was a golden time.”

Spencer speaks of boxing with club glove master Leroy Durst: “That’s the first time I ever got knocked on my can, boxing.” Tom Moyer competed at the club around that time, before he became a lightweight champion, and later a local developer and philanthropist. Spencer’s belief that amateur athletics are the core of this community has never taken a knee. “What drove me to maintain an interest in MAC is, historically, this was Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. That’s always struck a chord with me.” “This is a lot more complex environment now,” he says. “There are so many external factors. We never had a safety issue around here. We didn’t have homelessness. We didn’t need computers. Yes, we had parking issues, but they weren’t nearly as serious as they are now, just in terms of space and volume.

The Lownsdales, the Chapmans and some of those people, that was on their mind almost from the time they settled. You want green space around which everything operates. Amid industrial development, Portland was always, I think, somewhat environmentally conscious from its early beginnings.” The club currently manages an impressive chunk of real estate adjacent to downtown, and Spencer says that strong governance and a sense of MAC’s place in the larger community will continue to guide it into the future. “This has been a part of the social fabric of Portland for a lot of years,” he points out. “That was the history of this place, and we got a lot accomplished.” WM Club Archivist Luke Sprunger provided assistance with this story.

ANNUAL MEETING

President’s Report PRESENTED BY OUTGOING PRESIDENT HOLLY LEKAS DURING THE 129TH ANNUAL MEETING FEB. 4, 2020

ne hundred twenty-nine years ago, our 26 founders created this member club! It took all of them as a team to create it. Today, it takes countless involved members to keep this club vibrant, relevant and thriving. This member commitment makes MAC unique. Our club needs each of you. If you have not had the opportunity to join a committee, please consider one in the future. With this large army of involved members and excellent staff, our potential is unlimited.

I want to especially thank my fellow officers, Rebecca Frinell, Tanya McGee and Sandy Moore II. These three trustees have dedicated time, energy, talents, skills and commitment to the members of the Multnomah Athletic Club. Your great leadership has made a difference. Thank you for your exemplary service. Our first- and second-year trustees have also contributed to this year’s accomplishments with their enthusiasm, talent and willingness to run the extra ten miles all year long. Their dedication is impressive. Our club is in good hands with them as our leaders. All members owe a special thanks to the MAC staff for the hard work that has gone into creating tonight’s Annual Meeting and keeps our club running smoothly day after day. MAC relies on our talented and dedicated staff daily. Our staff leaders work tirelessly to promote the goals and needs of our club. Lastly, and most importantly, there is my family, who helped me throughout this amazing journey. Thank you for your unconditional love and incredible support.

It is our differences, when merged together in compromise and negotiation, that secure MAC’s future for our families and friends. The Multnomah Athletic Club is the size of a small city, complete with the complexity and diversity of most cities, which provides a rich experience for members while creating challenges for club leaders. The development of the strategic plan has helped to guide decisions to better meet member desires. This year we identified a need to create a system to better manage and prioritize the plethora of projects that support members in our strategic plan.

I am honored to have served as your president. Our accomplishments would not have been possible without our strong board, club leaders, talented members and staff.

Because multiple projects move forward simultaneously, a representative team of trustees and directors were charged with creating a project management system to increase efficiency and coordination of our multiple projects. Although still in test mode, we are already seeing the system’s potential. Two separate projects involving member access to club facilities, garage gates and the front entrance redesign, were joined together for continuity, to avoid duplication. Both projects involve safety needs for today and the future. Coordinating the efforts leads to less disruption for members and improved success. The board also backed staff’s implementation of a new technological system to manage our human resource and payroll needs. This project will improve efficiencies and accuracy for staff reporting and data collection while providing a plethora of data to inform the board in decision-making. Another technology improvement this year is the completion of a master calendar that reflects all activities and events at MAC. This will be used to improve coordination at MAC by averting conflicts. Our parking challenges continue, and this year we entered into a partnership with Mill Creek Residental Trust for the development of Block 7. This project will add 225 parking spaces for MAC members in the future while also reducing growing safety needs in managing the open space.

ANNUAL MEETING

staff who greet us at our three entrances with a welcoming hello. Members like Larry Packouz, who offered help at just the right moment. Or, my luncheon club friends, who encouraged me. There is Earl, who keeps me humble, and my Early Bird friends, who have cheered me on. My tennis buddies on Open, USTA or City League teams inspire me as they work together. Lastly, there is Ione, who arrives at MAC at 5 a.m. daily, inspiring us all by telling us to “keep moving” — her secret to a long, active life. I learned that it takes this diverse group of members and staff to keep MAC strong, vibrant and relevant. It is our differences, when merged together in compromise and negotiation, that secure MAC’s future for our families and friends. As I started my service as a trustee, I shared my favorite quote by Maya Angelou: “I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

During this year we saw the sunset of our member coach program. We are pleased that more than half of our member coaches applied for senior membership or were hired for employment. We also faced the great showerhead controversy, which was solved with significant member input in testing a variety of shower heads to select our favorite. Thanks to participants! Of special significance is the launching of the Exercise and Conditioning Room refresh ad hoc committee. This committee is working diligently to identify and recommend improvements to our E&C Room. They have begun their research, which will be followed by design work in order to create the best possible plan for future improvements in our most-used space. In addition, our Campus Master Plan committee will soon begin its work to ensure a relevant and vibrant facility that meets the changing needs of our members today and in the future.

As I end this year serving as your president, I take with me the countless memories of how members and staff made me feel. You have offered creative ideas, shared concerns, provided solutions, conveyed your caring for MAC, celebrated achievements and so much more. Members have introduced themselves to me and thanked me. Member friends have been there to cheer me on when I was tired, celebrate great work, and hold me accountable. Staff have answered my questions, helped me to solve problems, invited me to special events, and shared their victories. I have seen the powerful results of our committees, such as the MAC Holiday Fashion Show, which helped me find this dress from Oxalis. I will leave the board feeling full to overflowing for all the people who have touched my life. I will remember you and how you made me feel. In closing, a big thank you to the chairs and members who have volunteered to help with countless key initiatives. Thank you to the members and staff who bring life to our MAC community. And, thank you for the honor of serving you this year as president. The text has been edited from its original length.

Of special importance this year was the work of the ad hoc lottery committee. They researched, reviewed and revised key membership policies that had been identified as barriers to membership. Next, they provided the guidelines and goals for the 2020 Lottery, which launched on Feb. 1. We need members to invite friends and neighbors who would love to join our MAC family to apply!

LIZ WADE PHOTOGRAPHY

Last but not least is the accomplishment of a successful, sevenmonth process to search for our new general manager. The board wants to thank our GM search team and transition chairs once again for their tireless efforts in securing Charles Leverton as our GM. A special thank you to staff member Rachel Braun, who supported these teams. Recently, past president Dennis Cusack asked me what I learned this year. Such a simple question should prompt a simple answer. But that is not always so. This year, I learned that the Multnomah Athletic Club’s magic is based on the people who are part of this community. Staff like Leslie at At Your Service, who answers all our questions with a smile, or Carlos, who brings smiles to our faces in 1891, or the army of

ANNUAL MEETING

President’s Award The President’s Award is given to a MAC member who demonstrates leadership, sportsmanship and dedication to athletic participation. In evaluating candidates for this award, a key question was: How have they inspired other members through athletic achievement? Steve Brown, the winner of this year’s President’s Award, became a member in 2001 and has exuded joy, gratitude, and lust for life ever since. Fellow Exercise & Decathlon committee member Bill Cordano describes him as having dogged determination and a strong spirit and attitude.

In 2015, Brown lost his left arm as the result of spreading cancer. Not to be denied, he became an accomplished swimmer, surfer, golfer, table tennis player, and again participated in the annual Spring Decathlon. He stunned many fellow athletes this past year by doing 20 pushups and swimming 50 yards in 48 seconds, both with one arm. Brown has been described as radiating life, love and enthusiasm, even in adverse situations. He is not capable of giving up, and is seen as an inspiration to all who know him.

LIZ WADE PHOTOGRAPHY

In addition to chairing Exercise & Decathlon, Brown has served on the Cycling Committee for many years. His

tireless dedication has generated new ideas and created events for the program, increasing participation and motivating riders.

50 Year Members were honored at a luncheon on Jan. 17 and at the Annual Meeting (in alphabetical order): Judith Allen, Marc Alport, Clark Anderson, Peter Barnhisel, Richard F Betts, Steve Biles, Bruce Blank, Sally Broughton, John Buller, Charles Carl, Nancy Clark, Glenna Cooke, Lynn Covington-Anderson, Scott Cress, William Crist, Priscilla Cronin, Anne Crumpacker, Jack Delaney, Dean Duncan, Richard Fettig, John Geist, Judy Gilmore, Melinda Goldsmith, John G Hall, Linda Haskins, Spencer Heinz, Lynn Husband, William Hutchison, Barbara Hutchison, Salena Johnson, Nancy Jubitz, Melinda Kacal, James Kimberley, Kathleen Kotchik, Elaine Lampros, Frank Langfitt III, Seth Leavens, Edith Leland, Elisa Leon, Sun Lim, John Lindgren, Susan Matthews, Norman Maves, James McDonald, Patsy McKelligon, Kristi Meade, Edward Meaney, Mary Meier, Martin Packouz, Marilyn Pamplin, Judith Peek, Alan Peters, Josephine Pope, Dave Rimbach, James Rimmer, Barbara Schleuning, Richard Schroeder, Carolyn Shipley, William Smith, Garry Stensland, W Ardith Stensland, H Dudley Strain, Terry Stuermer, James Thielke, James Trumbo, Carol Wiedemann, Robert Withers, William Younce

McAlpin Award Each year, the McAlpin Award is presented to a MAC member for their outstanding commitment to the social activities of the club. Named after the club’s first president, it recognizes exceptional dedication, commitment, leadership and volunteerism. This year’s winner is Ann Blume.

Her passion for MAC is evidenced by her 20-plus years of involvement in social activities, including the Early Birds and Member Events. She has volunteered countless hours with MACorps, manning craft stations at the Children’s Holiday Party, decorating the club for the holidays, or volunteering at a Junior Dance, just to name a few. Fellow committee members describe Blume as a natural-born leader, eager to roll up her sleeves and get messy, if needed. A dependable volunteer, she encourages other members to give their time alongside her. She never says, “That’s not my job.” Blume is easy and fun to work with and a kind friend to many. She also was elected to the Board of Trustees, where she served as treasurer in 2014. Her sincere love of MAC and its community is an inspiration to all.

ANNUAL MEETING

Mike Mathews, Marilyn Whitaker, Irma Valdez and Kyle Goulard

Say Hey to the New Trustees Meet the new class of club leadership, chosen to serve on the Board of Trustees and help lead MAC for the next three years. Candidates were presented and voted in at the 2020 Annual Meeting in February. Kyle Goulard While MAC offers classes to help members with balance, Kyle Goulard seems to have enough of his own that he could spread it around. The nature of his business, Goulard Financial Planning, is to look to the future, and yet his favorite quote indicates that this is a man with a fiery sense of urgency. As Buddha says, “The trouble is, you think you have time.” As Goulard says, “My biggest hope is that the strong and unique backgrounds that each of us brings to the board will translate into balanced forward progress.”

MARCH 2020

His drive to make the most of every day is tempered by a commitment to confronting each new challenge as thoughtfully as possible. “Listen, observe and ask clarifying questions until you are crystal clear on the path ahead,” he says. “I exercise empathy as often as I can. If we all tried a little bit harder to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes, imagine the way the world would look and feel.” “I’m really looking forward to learning more about MAC culture outside of my own personal experience.

ANNUAL MEETING

Continued from page 48 reasons, we share a collective mission to remain relevant for the generations ahead of us,” Goulard adds. Having served on a variety of MAC committees, ranging from Athletic to Property, Goulard also has found time to focus his vision outside the club. He has supported Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s mission of serving community youth through athletic opportunities, both as a grant reader and a member of its Finance and Investment Committee. Goulard might have to start making choices about how to allocate his limited time as a new trustee, but he contemplates this with an apparent feeling of zen. “As a member-driven club, I always enjoyed rolling up my sleeves on committees and making a meaningful impact with my peers. When I was given the opportunity to join the Board of Trustees, how could I say no?”

Mike Mathews Of all the new trustees, Mike Mathews might have the best sense of the legacy he’s helping to safeguard and steward into the future. His introduction to the club came in 1960, when he was just 6 years old. “I walked with my father into the 1910 clubhouse, past Fay Sasser’s front desk, and immediately experienced the feel and aroma of leather club chairs, and the darkreddish wood of the twin stairs wrapping the foyer like a warm hug. I remember the concrete locker-room floor, the clanking in the weight room, and a ride down the polished brass firehouse pole,” he recalls.

New trustees are happy together. Mathews describes himself as a student of history, both MAC’s and that of the wider world. By owning and respecting what’s come before, he believes in using that knowledge to plan a better future. He finds plenty of inspiration and symbolism within the athletic pursuits that are the backbone of the club. “Hiking is probably the best preparation for the board, aside from business and life experience. In hiking, you plan your path to the goal in stages; you prepare mentally and physically; you gather the necessary information and gear; and then you set out on your journey ready to reach your goal safely and efficiently,” he explains.

Today’s clubhouse looks quite a bit different than it did in those days, but Mathews’ positive associations and childlike wonder persist. “The plans for the future are what I find fascinating now. This is a great time to be a MAC member!”

Mathews also enjoys the camaraderie inherent in group classes, events and the committee system. “Everyone can experience this by just getting involved.”

As the entrepreneur and digital marketing strategist behind Measured Marketing Solutions, Mathews is no stranger to identifying patterns and acting intentionally. “Collaboration works best through careful listening and open honesty,” he says. “When I keep the goal in mind of ‘continuing a great athletic club,’ and listen to others’ interests and concerns, then the full picture usually comes clear, and the direction to proceed follows quickly.”

Nobody can accuse Irma Valdez of setting her sights too low. In the January issue, observant Winged M readers may have noticed that her “goal yet to be achieved” was to become governor of Oregon!

MARCH 2020

Irma Valdez

While joining the Board of Trustees might represent one small step toward that larger aim, for the members who will benefit from her vast expertise and unique perspective, it’s one giant leap for MAC kind.

“I was very fortunate to attend Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island — a special place that truly encouraged its students to embrace an open, interdisciplinary education and to reflect on our role in the greater world,” she says. “It helped form me as a person and it instilled an obligation to give back.” In the years since college, Valdez has taken on a range of challenges that prepared her to support MAC in an array of ways. She’s served on the Portland Planning Commission and as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Department of Justice. She’s a mother, a former prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and current principal broker at Irma Valdez Properties. Still, Valdez says that inspiration isn’t bound to experience. “My best advice for being a team player and collaborator is to listen and to be open to new ideas. Sometimes the least expected person has the most extraordinary ideas.” “My biggest hope for my time on the board is that we work as a cohesive unit to support the mission of MAC,” she adds. “It is a wonderful place for me and my family. I have made some of my dearest friends here. It would be wonderful if everyone could experience such a community.” “I know serving as a trustee is a significant time commitment, but I believe it is an important way to give back.”

Marilyn Whitaker Perhaps the only thing more wellrounded than Marilyn Whitaker’s planned approach to tackling club governance is her familiarity with its athletic and wellness offerings. A lifelong member, she grew up taking swimming lessons from Ray Conlon, met her husband, Lee, in the weight room in 1993, and spent the past couple of years tapping into MAC’s healing properties. “The support and physical rehab that I received from both members and staff was critical to me,” she says. “I know it sounds cliché, but truly giving back for the support I received made the timing right for me to be a trustee.” In addition to relying on physical therapist Jay Jensen and Water Fitness Supervisor Lisa Best in recent times, Whitaker points out that the club’s varied offerings improve her quality of life year after year. “Whether it is an educational class, dining, athletics, social or business, MAC is truly a place to share many interests.” One of Whitaker’s great interests these days is learning about the business of MAC. “I’m looking forward to understanding the inner workings of what makes MAC run smoothly,” she says. “The current culture of transparency and openness is wonderful, and I will work to ensure that it continues. I also am deeply interested in the future master planning of the club in relation to our real estate.” Her career in real estate sales and development for her father Larry Brown and (W)here will help her to make the most of her historical perspective and commonsense approach to shaping upcoming decisions. “Spending time on committees and other boards has prepared me for contributing to MAC’s board. I have had the opportunity to consider data, future members, market trends and community relations. There are so many factors that go into thoughtful decision making,” she says. “My biggest hope is that I will keep my personal MAC mantra alive! We are the ‘Guardians and Champions’ of the club and must keep that squarely in front of us as we move MAC forward.”

Consolidated Balance Sheets December 31, 2019

Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Multnomah Athletic Club and its subsidiaries (the Club), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of activities, functional expenses, changes in net assets (Club equity), and cash flows for the year then ended, the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Club as of December 31, 2019, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Club adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Portland, Oregon January 30, 2020

Multnomah Athletic Club and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization The Multnomah Athletic Club (the Club) is a private, nonproprietary amateur athletic club located in Portland, Oregon. The Club was formed in 1891 and conducts various athletic and social activities, and provides food and beverage service to its members and their guests. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Club and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MAC Block 7, LLC, Design Center PDX, LLC, and MAC 21, LLC (collectively referred to as the LLCs). The LLCs are Oregon limited liability companies, in which the Club is the sole member. The LLCs were created for the sole purpose of holding property that the Club owns adjacent to its current facilities. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated and all references henceforth are referred to as “the Club.”

Basis of presentation The Club, as a not-for-profit organization, follows the accounting guidance prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for not-for-profit organizations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Net assets and revenues, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Club and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Board-designation of net assets without donor restrictions – The Board of Trustees of the Club has established Board-designated net assets without donor restrictions (Club equity) accounts for facility replacement and property. The Board-designated property fund portion of Club equity reflects the net book value of all Club property,

plant, and equipment in addition to cash equivalents and less related liabilities. Board-designated sources include initiation fees and designated investment income less related income taxes, and the difference between actual depreciation expense and Board-approved capital funding. The facility replacement fund represents the investment balances accumulated from contributions made to the fund and from earnings on these investments, less related expenses. Amounts have been contributed annually to the facility replacement fund. Transfers between funds may occur as directed by the Board of Trustees. Cash and cash equivalents The Club values its cash equivalents at cost, which approximates fair value. All highly-liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. continued on page 58

Athletics The Club offers various athletic programs (camps, sports teams, personal training, lessons, events, tournaments, etc.) for its members. Revenue for athletics is recognized as the related camp, lesson or event occurs. Restaurants and catering Restaurants revenue is recognized at the point of sale. Catering revenue is recognized as the related catering event occurs. Other departments M’Porium (gift shop), Marketing and Communications (advertising sales), and Design Center rental income is recognized at the point of sale or as the underlying services have been performed. Taxes on unrelated business income The Club is a tax-exempt organization and is not subject to federal or state income taxes, except for unrelated business income, in accordance with Section 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. Taxes on unrelated business income The Club is a tax-exempt organization and is not subject to federal or state income taxes, except for unrelated business income, in accordance with Section 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Club’s wholly-owned LLCs are limited liability companies for which no separate income taxes have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as the entities are disregarded for tax purposes. Income and loss is allocated to the sole member, the Club.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounts receivable Accounts receivable consist primarily of unpaid member dues and other fees. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by management based on historical chargeoff activity. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Club’s membership accounts are suspended after accounts are 120 days past due. Accounts may also be sent to a collection agency after the account has been suspended. Inventories Inventories of liquor, food, beer, wine, soda mix, sundries, towels, ready to wear and sportswear are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Investments and investment income The Club carries investments in marketable mutual funds, which comprise its entire investment portfolio, on the consolidated balance sheet at their readily determinable fair values based on quotations from national securities exchanges. Interest and dividend income and unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities.

Membership dues and initiation fees are collected primarily from Club members within the Portland metropolitan area.

MARCH 2020

Property, plant, and equipment Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: Property, plant, and equipment acquisitions, renewals, projects and improvements exceeding $2,500 are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of property subject to depreciation, the accounts are relieved of the related costs and accumulated depreciation and the resulting gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of activities. Revenue recognition and recently adopted standards On January 1, 2019, the Club adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Club evaluated the effect of the standard and concluded the application has a material effect that would require a retrospective adjustment. The Club recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet of net assets. The adjustment to the Consolidated Balance Sheet upon adoption of Topic 606, effective January 1, 2019 was as follows:

The Club recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Club recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, in taxes on unrelated business income. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Club recognized no interest or penalties and had no material uncertain tax positions. Functional allocation of expenses The costs of providing various programs and supporting services have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of functional expenses. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. The costs of the Club’s various activities and programs have been summarized on a departmental basis in the accompanying schedule of departmental revenues and expenses, presented as supplementary information. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the departments benefited. Expenses related to overhead are allocated based upon the percentage of square feet the various departments occupy in the Club, and the allocation for other expenses are based upon revenue. Depreciation expense is reported under support services and not allocated across departments.

2019 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Subsequent events Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the consolidated balance sheet date but before consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The Club recognizes in the consolidated financial statements, the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the consolidated balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Club’s consolidated financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the consolidated balance sheet but arose after the consolidated balance sheet date and before the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The Club has evaluated subsequent events through January 30, 2020, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Note 2 – Liquidity and Availability Financial assets available for general expenditure, that is, without donor or other restrictions limiting their use, within one year of the balance sheet date, comprise the following for the year ending December 31, 2019: Cash and cash equivalents $ 9,528,001 Accounts receivable 6,601,204 Inventories 432,002

Total

$ 16,561,207

The Club’s cash flows have minimal seasonal variations during the year. Operating fund surpluses have historically been transferred to the property fund but are not required to be and could be retained for general operations if needed. Further, the Board designates a funding amount yearly from the operating fund to the property fund for capital improvements. This amount could be reduced or eliminated if needed to fund operations with Board approval. In addition, the Club has $33,536,320 in long-term investments as of December 31, 2019 which could be released for general expenditure if needed with Board approval. Note 3 – Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment consist of the following as of December 31, 2019: Land and improvements $ 1,999,407 Clubhouse and improvements 71,994,373 Equipment, furniture, and fixtures 20,965,669 Parking structure and athletic facilities 8,102,998 Total property, plant, and equipment 103,062,447 Less accumulated depreciation (56,687,764) 46,374,683 Construction in progress 2,917,490 Property, plant, and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation

$ 49,292,173

Construction in progress at December 31, 2019 consists primarily of costs related to various remodeling projects.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Developer agreement

Accounting literature defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Club’s market assumptions.

Effective December 20, 2019, the Club entered into an agreement with a developer for the construction of a residential building on a parcel of land owned by the Club. The developer will construct on the property a parking garage for use by the Club, including a tunnel to connect the Club’s existing parking garage. The Club will contribute up to $650,000 of the cost to design and construct the tunnel. Prior to construction the Club and developer will enter into a ground lease agreement under which the developer will lease the property from the Club. Upon completion of the project, the developer can elect: 1) To provide the Club parking through a ground lease or 2) To provide the Club parking through a commercial condominium unit.

These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, and represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date.. Level 3 – Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.. The Club used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for its assets and liabilities measured and carried at fair value in the consolidated financial statements: Investments – Investments are comprised of marketable mutual funds. Marketable mutual fund fair values are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar funds. The following is a summary categorization as of December 31, 2019 of the Club’s assets based on the level of inputs utilized in determining the value of such investments. The Club did not have any level 2 or level 3 inputs 2019 Level 1

Legal contingencies The Club, in the ordinary course of business, may become a defendant in certain claims and legal actions. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, there are no matters or potential claims presently known to the Club that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Club. Note 6 – Taxes on Unrelated Business Income Taxes on unrelated business income result primarily from advertising income in the Club’s Winged M publication, investment earnings including gains on sales of investments, income from catering, and income from rental properties. The effective tax rate applied to these items, of approximately 42%, differs from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to state and local taxes, federal and state tax credits and the timing of tax payments. The statements of activities include provisions for taxes on unrelated business income as follows as of December 31, 2019: 2019 Federal $ State and local

159,803 90,190

Total taxes on unrelated business income

249,993

Marketable municipal security index funds $ 10,620,755 Marketable domestic equity index funds 9,649,206 Marketable international equity index funds 8,373,163 Marketable domestic fixed income index funds 3,133,198 Marketable real estate index funds 1,759,998

In accordance with the requirements related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Club determined that it had no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2019. The Club files an exempt organization income tax return and an unrelated business income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a corporate tax return with the Oregon Department of Revenue and the City of Portland.

The Club has a salary deferral retirement savings plan under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code whereby participating employees may defer a portion of their gross wages. The Club makes contributions to the plan of 3% of the base salary of employees and also matches 100% of the first 3% of the employee deferral. Total contributions to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $1,005,948. In addition, the Club pays a portion of administrative expenses of the plan.

$ 33,536,320

As of December 31, 2019, the Club does not have any liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value. It is the Club’s policy to recognize transfers of investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy on December 31st of each year. There were no transfers of investments during the year ended December 31, 2019. There were no changes in valuation methodologies or assumptions during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Note 8 – Concentration of Credit Risk

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies Operating leases The Club leases certain office equipment and parking under operating lease agreements. Future minimum payments under those leases are as follows: Years ending December 31,

2020 $ 2021 2022 2023 2024 Thereafter

Note 7 – Employee Benefit Plan

255,668 254,174 257,074 256,046 258,363 536,628

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Club to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and investments. The Club places substantially all of its cash and liquid investments with financial institutions; however, cash balances may periodically exceed federally insured limits. To date, the Club has not experienced losses at these institutions. Marketable securities, consisting of both debt and equity instruments, are generally placed in a variety of managed funds administered by an investment manager.

$ 1,817,953

The Club incurred operating lease expenses of $255,907 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Spring Is Nature’s New Year It’s the perfect time to detox or let go of things

pring often prompts cleaning around the house and freshening things up. Many families do a donation run and purge old winter clothes they no longer wear.

WELLNESS

Holistic Counseling For more than 15 years, I have aligned my practice with the root of naturopathic medicine, which to treat the whole body because everything in the body is connected. For example, if you visit me for GI issues, I would ask you about your emotional health, stress level, sleep and diet. When the idea of the mind-gut connection gained popularity, my reaction was pretty much “duh!” The idea that the GI, or gut, is a second brain was exciting and very aligned with my practice.

the art of organization

However, I recently attended a workshop on holistic counseling and realized my practice of treating the whole body could be further enhanced. Asking about someone’s stress and emotions may not fully address their mental health and wellbeing. Many cultures talk about a flow of energy in the body as one’s qi, blood system or chakras. Picture this energy flow as the essence of who you are. If your mind sets up a blockade based on a belief that’s not based in truth (I’m unworthy, for example) your emotions will be affected, which in turn affects your body. A physical symptom, or manifestation, is a clue to provide insight into what’s at the heart of the matter.

Of course, sometimes illness happens because hormones are off, people get exposed to toxins, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, or, unfortunately, inherit bad genetics. But what if there is a possibility that something else could be at play? I like examples: Perhaps a patient comes to see me complaining of constipation. I ask about stress, and they confirm that they’ve taken on a lot at work, they never have time for themselves, and they often eat on the go. With that information, I end my questioning and maybe suggest probiotics; review their diet; recommend more fiber, more water, and bowel retraining. Or, if they are willing, maybe we continue our conversation to include questions that may uncover some self-defeating beliefs that can lead to physical release. I am certainly not saying that every disease and illness has an underlying mental/ emotional cause, but I do believe that our thoughts or beliefs can positively or negatively affect our health. Any questions, concerns, or want to talk more? Stop by my office or email me at drlsnelson@gmail.com. —Dr. Lindsey Nelson

Spring Break and Water Safety

pring break means a lot of MAC families are headed somewhere warm this month. Whether it’s playing in a hotel pool or spending time at a beach, here are some helpful tips for making sure the entire family is as safe as possible in the water: Don’t just pack it, wear your jacket. Life jackets (or puddle jumpers) are one of the best ways to keep kids safe in the water. Make sure any life jackets are Coast Guard–approved and are the correct size. This information can be found on the inside of the jacket. Remember, anything inflatable or in separate pieces (such as water wings) is not Coast Guard–approved. Watch the water! There should always be a designated water watcher — an adult whose only job is watching kids in the water. Switch it up every half hour, and everyone can relax knowing that there are always eyes on the pool.

Learn the basics of CPR. Don’t have time to get the full certification but still want to learn the basics of life saving? Attend an upcoming Save-a-Life Party on March 13 or May 29 (ASP011 & ASP012). The 90-minute class, for members ages 18 and older, provides a basic overview of what to do when someone has a breathing emergency. The club also offers full CPR and lifeguard classes. • Swim lessons for everyone. Swim lessons aren’t just for kids! MAC offers group and private lessons for all ages and abilities, which means the whole family can get more comfortable in the water. Come by the Aquatics office to get set up with an instructor. MAC Aquatics wants all members to have the best (and safest) spring break possible, so don’t hesitate to stop by their office on the mezzanine level to schedule swim lessons or ask any questions about water safety!

By the Numbers Fit & Well

s many of you know well, children who have positive experiences in sports from a young age benefit in many ways. While only a small percentage of youth go on to compete at an elite level, the foundation is laid to promote self-esteem, teamwork and a lifeElsa Lemoine long interest in fitness ATHLETIC & WELLNESS and athletics. Part of DIRECTOR that sports experience involves relationship building between athletes, coaches, parents, officials and volunteers.

Number of locations MAC has occupied since 1891. • 714 SW 2nd Ave. • SW 10th and Yamhill • SW Yamhill at Chapman • SW Salmon near Chapman • 1891 SW Salmon

Unfortnately, there can also be a dark side to those relationships. Although most minor athlete abuse is perpetrated in isolated, one-on-one situations, individual time with trusted adults is also healthy and valuable for a child. Therefore, policies concerning one-on-one interactions are necessary to protect children, while allowing for beneficial connections.

Since its launch three years ago, the U.S. Center for SafeSport has received more than 3,000 reports of minor athlete abuse. Created by the Olympic committee, the center was spun off as an independent nonprofit in 2017 and received the backing of federal legislation in 2018. The idea: Have one agency empowered to educate, investigate and rule on allegations of minor athlete abuse.

According to the center’s CEO Ju’Riese Colon, “Policies have now been developed where there were none. We have provided a mechanism for athletes to seek resolution. We have required training where it was once rarely utilized. We have held hundreds of individuals accountable for causing harm. And, as a result, we are leading the charge in changing the culture of sport.” MAC is committed to raising awareness about misconduct in sports, promoting open dialogue, and aligning all its youth activities with SafeSport abuse prevention policies to create a healthy, supportive environment for junior members. In fact, an ad hoc committee will make SafeSport policies a club-wide project in 2020. Stay tuned for more information on their important work.

Tennis Is a Team Sport Tennis will always be a mental, individual sport, but there is nothing like the feeling of being part of something bigger than oneself. One thing that makes playing tennis at MAC special is being on a USTA or City League team. Teammates help each other prepare mentally before a match, and the spirit of camaraderie and support from teammates provides a tremendous confidence boost during a game. Once a match is over, win or lose, teammates’ high-fives and pats on the back are a reminder that no player is really alone on the court. It’s like that with MAC Tennis. Now is the time to sign up for the upcoming USTA season. Visit themac.com and look for the Tennis Leagues link on the Tennis page. The 40+ season begins April 17 and the MAC registration deadline is March 4. Chat with MAC players who are on teams and find out more. MAC’s wonderful, encouraging tennis coaches are happy to guide players in the right direction. Everyone who signs up by the appropriate deadline gets to be on a team, and everyone on a team gets to play. Playing on a MAC Tennis team is fun and rewarding. It builds lasting friendships and even more great MAC memories.

Female players interested in joining a City League team should check in soon with the Tennis Office. Although signups for the next season are in the fall, a waiting list is already forming.

Coaches Corner: The Serve

Strike the ball in the middle to produce the greatest velocity. The slice serve is accomplished by cutting the outside of the ball to produce a side spin. This causes a right-to-left ‘bend’ on the ball trajectory, forcing the opponent to stretch for the return.

It’s been said that the most important shot in tennis is the serve. In my opinion, if the serve is not a weapon, it is a weakness. There is no other time that a player can place the ball (toss) exactly where they would like to strike it and strike it at a time of their choosing to put the opponent in a compromised position. Not everyone is gifted with a strong arm capable of hitting serves with speeds in triple digits. Fortunately hitting the serve hard and fast is not the only way to make it a weapon. Here are four ways to improve your serve along with practice tips*:

The kick serve is by far the most difficult spin to put on a tennis ball. For this serve, the toss is placed more to the left and the ball is struck closer to the bottom inside of the ball. Thinking of the ball like a clock face, the swing motion would go from contact at seven o’clock and accelerate out toward two o’clock on the ball. This produces a kind of top spin, but with more jump from left to right once the ball contacts the ground.

1. Hit harder

4. Starting location

Practice tip: Try hitting the serve past the baseline on the fly. To accomplish a faster racquet speed, push and jump up with the legs. Keep the same pace and gradually bring the lines in — first to just inside the baseline, next to the 60-foot line (blue) and, finally, aim for the service box.

2. Placement Practice tip: Place a target in three locations in the service box: out wide, in the middle (body serve) and tight to the T (the intersection of the center line and service line). Work on changing the racquet angle

74 | The Wınged M |

MARCH 2020

to send the ball in the direction of the chosen target. It is okay to miss as long as thought is going into the production of the stroke to change the outcome of the direction.

3. Spin Practice tip: There are thee basic service spins: slice, kick or spin and flat. Flat is just that, a flat ball with very little rotation.

Practice tip: Serve from different spots along the baseline. More angles are produced when a player serves from wider in the court, and it is easier to hit the T from the middle. Mix up where you stand to give a different look at the court and to make an opponent think about what you are doing. The more they think about your stance, the less they are thinking about hitting the ball.

—Head Coach Paul Reber *All tips presume the player is right handed.

Gear Up for Spring and Summer Cycling ADAM WICKHAM

The stirrings of spring are in the air, and bikes are whispering that maybe, just maybe, it’s time to venture outside. Fortunately, MAC Cycling is here to help! In anticipation of the start of group rides in April, here are some programming changes and reminders to keep in mind.

Second Saturday Becomes MAC Weekend Rides Over the years, Saturday rides have often ended up being just before or just after a holiday, or have conflicted with a major cycling event. Changing the schedule provides flexibility and makes it easier to get more people involved. Weekend rides will generally be the first or second weekend of the month on either Saturday or Sunday.

Wednesday and Thursday Night Rides Start April 1 Weekday rides start at 5:30 p.m. throughout April, and at 6 p.m. from May to September. In April only, Wednesdaynight rides start from the MAC Turnaround, and then move to a rotating start location (Sauvie Island, Skyline and MAC) throughout the summer. Thursdaynight rides start from the Turnaround every week, aside from special events.

Stay Informed Details of upcoming events are posted on MAC Cycling’s Facebook page and via Google Groups. These platforms allow communication of last-minute

adjustments that often arise due to a traffic issue or a sudden weather change. The Facebook group is moderated, so members must request to join and answer a couple of questions. The Google group can be joined by sending an email to maccyclingclub+subscribe@googlegroups. com. Ride information is shared via both forums.

Tech Night in April MAC has a club membership to Ride with GPS. Those not familiar with the ride-planning tool are invited to a Tech Night to get help connecting to the service and to learn about the features and options available. Event details coming soon.

Club Championships in August and September It’s never too early to think about the late-summer time trial and hill climb. These rides are a low-key way to test fitness, either on the flat course on Sauvie Island or with a healthy climb up to Skyline. Plus there’s always a fun gettogether at the end of the events! Keep an eye out for information on the always-popular summer Wine Ride and the opportunity to sport new MAC-branded cycling gear.

MAC Handball Players Escape Portland’s Winter Weather Steve Lippman, Jay Maxwell, Allen Culver and Steve Lee are typically absent from MAC handball courts during the winter months. But they are still on the courts — playing in a warmer climate in Palm Desert, California. This year they invited Dr. Bob Gill to verify they’re still in the game.

Racquetball Throughout the Year There’s a level of play and commitment available for everyone. “I haven’t played racquetball since I was in college!” is a refrain commonly heard when new members stop by the MAC Racquetball Lounge. Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities for players to get on, or back on, the courts year round. Intramurals are the heart of the MAC racquetball program and bring athletes of all abilities together on a weekly basis for three seasons each year, from September to May. In the fall, 10 team captains select players at each skill level for their teams. Each nine-week season matches players against others at their level in a roundrobin competition for supremacy. Awards are given for the winning team and overall winners at each level, ensuring a fun and competitive experience. The winter season begins in December, and the spring season starts in March. Club tournaments offer members the chance to compete against their peers in a single elimination or round-robin format, with bragging rights and their name on a plaque in the lounge on the line. At the doubles tournament, played the last week in January, teams of all levels vie for court superiority. The singles tournament

Club tournaments offer members the chance to compete against their peers. kicks off in late May, following the spring Intramural season. With brackets for Open players, men and women A through D, and Golden Masters, it’s the year’s largest racquetball tournament of MAC members. Additionally, the annual John Pelham Memorial Tournament of Champions allows members to play alongside some of the best racquetball players in the world. As an official stop on the IRT tour and a fundraiser for the Live Like John Foundation, players can compete at a high level and support charities like the Green Beret Foundation, Oregon Youth Challenge and the Military Racquetball Foundation.

MARCH 2020

Weekly drop-in times facilitate pick-up matches for anyone wanting an occasional racquetball fix. Sunday mornings from 8:30 to 11 a.m. are reserved for women’s and beginner play, with experienced members offering coaching and facilitating play. Golden Masters gather at the courts 9:30 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while Early Birds take the courts at 6 a.m. Fridays. Doubles Open play is 4-7 p.m. Tuesdays and 7:30-10:30 a.m. Saturdays, while singles pick-up games happen from 4 to 7 p.m. Mondays. The Racquetball Committee hosts an end-of-season banquet in May to recognize accomplishments throughout the year, with food and beverages for all players, and awards for top performers in intramurals and tournaments. Since summer does not have an intramural season, there’s a racquetball golf tournament to bring the community together for competitive socializing.

Loaner racquets, protective eyewear and balls are available from At Your Service, and more information can be found on the bulletin boards in the basement-level Racquetball Lounge or by contacting club pro Hank Marcus at racquetball@themac.com

George “Musical” Foss (left) and A.B. McAlpin pose by their tandem bicycle for an 1895 self portrait. McAlpin is holding a shutter-release cable behind his back to trigger the camera.

B. McAlpin (1856-1947) began a successful career in photography by apprenticing as a teenager at studios in San Francisco. Moving to Portland in 1884, after supporting himself for several years by driving stage coaches for Wells Fargo, he became renowned for his portrait and mountaineering photographs.

for a new organization — the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. McAlpin served as the club’s first president that year, returning as president in 1893. Later, he served as the manager of the Multnomah Golf Club and then the assistant manager of MAAC, holding the latter position until near the time of his passing at age 90.

On Feb. 24, 1891, following the fractious meeting of the Portland Football and Cricket Club, 34-year-old McAlpin hastily organized a meeting of one faction of 26 attendees to create a board of trustees and articles of incorporation

McAlpin started the father-son dinner at the club in 1931, and was most proud of his work with youth; he felt that working with them helped him to stay young.

—Luke Sprunger, club archivist

Brian A. Bruckner, M.D. Surgical director, Heart Transplant Program Providence Heart Institute Education and training: • University of Florida • Baylor College of Medicine

Where did you grow up? Cape Canaveral, Florida

Why did you come to Providence? Providence Heart Institute gave me an incredible opportunity to start a transplant program with a very talented team of cardiac experts. I previously served as surgical director of heart transplantation at Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center in Houston, where we did 50-60 heart transplants last year. The opportunity to start and grow a new transplant program at Providence is intriguing and gratifying.

What is your dream for this heart transplant program? Our program is rooted in the Providence Mission of serving those in need. These patients deserve quality care provided with unwavering compassion at a recognized regional center of excellence. That’s what we’re building at Providence.

What are your hobbies? I enjoy playing the piano and fishing. I look forward to exploring some of Oregon’s natural areas and fishing spots.

For more information, visit: ProvidenceFoundations.org/heart

What’s a great experience you’ve had at Providence? I’ve been at Providence only a few weeks, but I really enjoyed learning about the history of Providence. It’s gratifying to work for a health system with such a long history of caring for the most vulnerable patients in our communities.

Who are your mentors? My dad and uncle gave me practical life advice – dad as a NASA rocket scientist, and my uncle as a businessman and heart patient. Also, two cardiac surgeons, Michael Reardon, M.D., and Bud Frazier, M.D., have served as important mentors throughout my professional life.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work? Support from donors and the community helps nourish and further develop the programs, research and clinical care that work together in service to our patients. That support means we can constantly improve our care and discover new life-saving treatments and therapies for our patients.
