love MAC. As a lifelong Multnomah Athletic Club member, serving as president is an honor. Four generations of my family have been MAC members.

Our family membership began when m y d a d ’s f r i e n d Holly Lekas encouraged him to PRESIDENT join. During his early membership, dad met a key staff member, Joe Loprinzi, who years later still remembered my dad as the strongest man he had ever met.

Mom participated sporadically, but in those years, activities for women were limited. My sisters competed on the MAC swim team, leading the way for three of my children to follow suit wearing the Winged M. When returning from three years in Denver, MAC provided a foundation for my family, easing our transition. Today, my children work out and support my grandchildren’s participation in a variety of classes and activities. My family has valued all that MAC offers for more than seven decades, and we are grateful for past leaders and members who have kept our club vibrant and relevant.

Our departing officers and leaders, Grant Yoshihara, D’Anne O’Neill, Dave Brezinski and John Helmer, continued a strong foundation for MAC’s future with the launching of the strategic plan. Their leadership has left us stronger than before and ready to move forward. They modeled collaborative leadership and stressed the importance of team.

Regularly, they took time to listen and advise, lifting our board’s efforts. Please thank them, when you see them, for their service.

Our new trustees, Chase McPherson, Carol Robertson, Rob Torch and Reidun Zander, bring a broad range of MAC, and life experience to the board. These four have participated in a myriad of athletics and activities during their membership tenure, which will inform their trustee work. Their excitement at serving the club as trustees is contagious and inspiring. Please welcome and thank them.

Our second-year trustees, Connie DunkleWeyrauch, Will Lee, Marianne Ritchie and Mike Silvey, have already demonstrated their dedication to and love for MAC. Each of these trustees brings unique skills and s stalents, which increase the board’s strength and success. They give generously of their time, talent, experience and skills. They are an inclusive, collaborative and talented group.

Please thank them.

This year’s Board of Trustee officers have forged a strong team dedicated to serving MAC members. Vice President Rebecca Frinell has a talent for asking the tough questions while knowing when to shine a positive light on topics. She is a strong, creative and caring leader. Treasurer Sandy Moore II has unbelievable energy and a gift for bringing people together. His visionary ideas will inspire our work. Secretary Tanya McGee brings a broad range of experience and a wise voice. She knows how to challenge work to launch it to new levels. The many strengths of our team will lead to a successful year. I am grateful and thankful to share the responsibilities of leadership with these officers. Please recognize them with a thank you when you see them.

The Multnomah Athletic Club is a member-governed club. Members’ dedication, passion and love for our club guides our future.

But it’s our talented staff that is charged with managing the daily operations and initiatives that keep MAC moving forward.

MAC’s continued success is dependent upon members working with staff. The club’s employees are impressive. Please take time to thank them whenever possible for their steadfast and enthusiastic efforts to provide a premium experience for members. After all, it is the relationships forged between members and staff that make the Multnomah Athletic Club unique and make me proud to serve as your president.

Most days, you can find me on the tennis court, pursuing a fitness activity, or in a pool.

You also can find me watching my family on the volleyball and tennis courts. Over the next months, please say, “hi” when our paths cross. Your support and involvement are key to the success of MAC’s future. Thank you.

pring is upon us, and it is exciting to see flyers for MAC spring break adventures to Sun Valley for skiing, French Savoy and the Italian Alps, and any number of spring break camps right here to keep younger members John Sterbis occupied. My wife FACILITIES DIRECTOR and I are headed to Central Oregon for some skiing, or, if we are fortunate enough to have great weather, rock climbing at Smith Rock State Park.

Meanwhile, our Facilities and Housekeeping teams will be hard at work maintaining and enhancing the premium club experience members have come to expect at MAC. We plan to resurface the indoor tennis courts, replace the lighting in the Men’s Locker Room and Gymnastics Arena with energy efficient LEDs, complete some repair work in the parking garage, and provide a fresh coat of paint and new murals for our little ones in the Child Care.

Planning is underway to renovate the Junior Girls’ Locker Room, enhance the front entrance and, most excitingly, make upgrades to our fitness spaces, which is an element of our strategic plan. A small team of members and staff have been doing some initial work ­— with Fabiano Designs, a fitness center designer, and GBD, our local architect partners — evaluating our current spaces, exploring other clubs and industry trends, and developing high-level ideas for the future. As this potential project advances, more members will become involved, and further communication and designs will follow.

Please stay tuned for further news.

Next month we celebrate Earth Day, so I thought it would be appropriate to share MAC’s efforts to be a leader in sustainable practices.

New automatic paper towel dispensers with 100 percent recycled towels and low flow shower heads are projected to save more than three tons of paper towels and nearly 3 million gallons of water — enough to fill more than four Olympic sized swimming pools.

LED upgrades (more than 300 fixtures will be replaced this year!) and building controls upgrades will allow us to more efficiently operate the building.

MAC also has recently changed to microfiber towels, which are more effective at cleaning than cotton towels, and has replaced older laundry equipment with more energy-efficient models. The February Winged M shared the change to new automatic paper towel dispensers with 100 percent recycled towels and low-flow shower heads, which are projected to save more than three tons of paper towels and nearly 3 million gallons of water — enough to fill more than four Olympic-sized swimming pools.

We soon will be introducing chemical-free cleaning by using ionized water as a cleaning agent. The process involves adding an electric charge and a pinch of salt to turn regular water into a solution that’s as effective as traditional cleaning chemicals without harmful environmental side effects.

Since I joined the MAC Leadership Team last July, I have been impressed by MAC’s history and legacy. My role as facilities director is not only to ensure that we maintain and enhance the physical elements of our clubhouse, but also to ensure that we provide a premium club experience and leave a legacy for future members. These facilities enhancements and sustainable operating processes will do just that. Enjoy the spring!

FACES IN THE CLUB MAC member Dr. Tracy Prince was recently re-elected president of the Goose Hollow Foothills League, the club’s neighborhood association. She is a research professor at Portland State University and the author of four books on literature and Oregon’s history, including her most recent, Notable Women of Portland, co-authored with her daughter Zadie Schaffer. She likes living in the friendly, walkable neighborhood that is Goose Hollow, meeting friends at “The Hof” and “The Goose,” hiking in Washington Park and Hoyt Arboretum, and living within walking distance to the MAC. She says that she really appreciates MAC hosting neighborhood association meetings; for many neighbors who aren’t MAC members, it’s the only time they enter the building. Prince also is a fan of MAC’s advocacy on neighborhood safety and the club’s excellent relationship with GHFL via Land Use Committee Chair Dwight Terry and Community Relations Manager Mary Fetsch.

The two organizations share the core value that people can disagree without being disagreeable. She looks forward to a continued good working relationship with MAC as the neighborhood grows and changes.

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

Who’s more excited about new MAC membership than new MAC members?

The folks in member services, and particularly new specialist Meredith Scott. She finds their energy downright infectious.

“My favorite part of the job is welcoming new members who are ecstatic about being members!” she says. Her enthusiasm carries over to MAC’s neighbors at Providence Park, as well. “Every sports fan dreams and wonders if they will witness that crazy, back-and-forth, everything-onthe-line, dramatic performance by their favorite team. I was able to witness the 2018 MLS Cup Playoff match between the Timbers and Sounders at CenturyLink Stadium. Emotions I didn’t know existed were realized, and getting home at 3 a.m. was worth it!” While someone as passionate about her pursuits as Scott probably doesn’t need any more sugar, she says that one thing she’s not excited about is tea in the Pacific Northwest. “Adding sugar to already iced tea does not make it sweet tea,” the South Carolina-native authoritatively asserts.

“I think that what’s unique about racquetball compared to all of my other sports is the independence that is involved with it,” says 15-year-old MAC member Rowan Schnebly. “It teaches you how to dig deep within yourself and strive for the best things you can do.” The Lincoln High School freshman seems to be an expert self-excavator, as evidenced by his recent first-place medals in singles and doubles gold divisions at the Oregon State High School Racquetball Championships in January. “Rowan will be a player to watch as he is highly competitive and talented. I think he could have an awesome future,” says Lincoln Racquetball Head Coach David Szafranski. As for independence, three-sport athlete Schnebly excels; he just returned from nine months in Mexico, where he earned a spot playing soccer at the Monarcas Academy. He was also a nationally ranked squash player at the U11 and U13 levels. “Not only does playing multiple sports make you faster, more fit and smarter, it also works on different muscles that are essential in all of the sports that I play,” Schnebly says.

For Taylor Pettiford, basketball is more than just a sport; it’s a philosophy. As a court sport attendant, basketball instructor, coach and trainer, he finds plenty of ways to live his philosophy on and off the court. “Basketball has been a passion of mine ever since my father placed the ball in my hands at the age of 5,” he says.

“Like life, basketball has a lot of ups and downs, and represents the hurdles we encounter from time to time.” Pettiford’s dad was an accomplished hoops player in Indiana, and showed his son the lessons in the game, such as cooperation, resilience, and the fact that playing time is earned, not given away. Saying he’s extremely grateful to both the sport and his dad, Pettiford relishes the opportunity to pass along its lessons. Head Coach Dan Baggett says that he’s also thankful to have Pettiford on his team: “Taylor is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic coach, and that rubs off on the young athletes that he works with.”

In Memoriam Lewis John “Bud” Inkster, Jr. Feb. 12, 1930-Jan. 22, 2019 Born Feb. 12, 1930, in Seattle, Washington, Lewis John Inkster, Jr. earned the nickname “Buddy” in his early years and was, from then on, known as Bud. Bud Inkster indeed was a very good friend to many and a man of impeccable character. Kind and good natured, Bud was a true gentleman whose easy-going demeanor and dry sense of humor put people at ease.

Growing up during the Depression and World War II, Bud learned to work hard and to enjoy the journey. He always had jobs from an early age and paid for college by moving furniture. Bud attended Roosevelt High school, graduated with a business degree from the University of Washington in 1952, and was a proud member for the Alpha Delta fraternity.

Growing up in Seattle, Bud developed lifelong friendships with men and women who shared his love of Pacific Northwest adventure: fishing, boating, alpine skiing, hiking, a harrowing summit of Mt. Rainier.

A weekend trip to Timberline lodge put fate in motion when Bud met B. Mary Paget of Portland, who had recently returned from ski racing in Europe. Bud would drive all the way back and forth from Seattle to court B. Mary, whom he wed in 1960.

Bud moved to Portland and worked in the mortgage business and eventually built a living in commercial real estate development. In his early career, Bud learned a lot from B. Mary’s father Lowell Paget and also from Ward Cook.

Doug McIver also played a central role in connecting Bud to Portland’s business community.

Bud considered himself extremely lucky for strong mentors and friends who helped him along the way, a gift he in turn paid forward by helping others starting careers in real estate.

Apart from his work, which he thoroughly enjoyed, Bud raised a family and shared his love for the outdoors with them. Winter weekends involved trips to Bend to ski at Mt. Bachelor.

The family spent a lot of time on the Deschutes and Metolius rivers in Central Oregon, and Bud’s beloved Puget Sound. Bud’s friends considered him an avid fisherman, but more than that, Bud valued being in the outdoors and spending time with family and friends.

Bud and B. Mary took many winter trips to Europe, where they skied and, as they got older, annual trips to Sun Valley, Idaho. Bud was a proud member of the Deschutes Club, Rotary, Multnomah Athletic Club, and the Arlington Club.

While Bud had to weather the decline of his health for more years than anyone would have wished, he always had a positive attitude and was blessed with the best caregiving support imaginable.

Bud died peacefully in his home of 54 years due to the progression of his leukemia. He is survived by his sister, Ann Cruickshank of Everett, Washington; son, Jim Inkster (Wendy) of Bend; son, Mark Inkster (Kate Lilienthal) of Singapore; daughter, Laura Mittelstadt (David) of Lake Oswego; and five grandchildren.

Edmund “Ed” Sommer July 6, 1944-Jan. 22, 2019 Edmund “Ed” David Sommer passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 22, 2019, due to complications of a heart condition.

Ed was born in Sacramento, California, on July 6, 1944, to Barbara Belle Williams and Edmund Hugo Sommer. He graduated from Hiram Johnson High School in 1962, joining the Army in June of 1963. He was honorably discharged in 1968.

He married Jacqueline Baker in 1964 and had two children, Kimberly Jean and Thomas Edmund. He married Blanche Ruga on Feb. 14, 1973. February would have marked their 46 year anniversary. They had one daughter, Shiloh Aurora.

Following in the footsteps of his father and uncle, he began cutting hair after high school. After practicing his craft for more than 50 years, he was considered a Master Barber.

Most of his clients, many at the Multnomah Athletic Club, received haircuts from Ed for multiple decades and considered him a friend.

Ed was a loyal friend to all and would do anything for the ones he cared about. Ed was selfless and was very approachable.

multnomahathleticclub

He had a sly, and occasionally saucy, sense of humor and an uncanny gift of the gab. He was able to find a way to communicate with and endear himself to people of all levels of society. He enjoyed golfing, vacationing in Hawaii, camping trips, motorcycles, playing with his dog, Comet, spending time with his family and gardening.

Ed is survived by his wife, Blanche; son, Thomas; daughters, Shiloh and Kiara; grandchildren, Ashlee, Jillian, Denning, Zachary and Finley; brother, Steven; and nephew, Shon-ti. He was preceded in death by his father, Edmund; mother, Barbara; and daughter, Kimberly. He will be missed tremendously.

Take a break from work and school, not the premium MAC experience

L

ike American Express, MAC membership has its privileges. After the holidays, when all eyes turn toward the next major vacation, spring break, one of the club’s exclusive benefits might shine a bit brighter than all the rest. Reciprocal clubs are opulent outposts around the world where members can make themselves at home in the manner to which they’ve become accustomed at MAC. In anticipation of this year’s exodus to far-flung destinations, The Winged M picked four partner clubs where members can make the most of their reciprocal perks. For those who are flying further afield, there are recommendations for Chicago and New York.

Members staying closer to home will find hospitality of similarly high quality at sister facilities in Seattle and Bend.

Wherever members vacation, here’s to taking a little piece of MAC along for the ride.

Soaring views, numerous lakes and spectacular rock outcroppings provide the kind of beauty available only in Bend and Central Oregon.

The club’s Learning Center is one of the finest in the Northwest.

It features a dual-ended driving range with Central Oregon’s only five-hole par-three course. Open year round, it’s perfect for all ages, but particularly for families and young golfers.

Spring Break: Get Ready and Keep It Going at MAC Club has plenty of ways to prepare for vacation, and preserve the recreation after the fact

D

on’t like the weather in Oregon?

Just wait a few minutes. It’ll change.

Even if Mark Twain was talking about New England in his original quote, the concept rings true for Oregonians, who have to plan their spring break trips without the benefit of a psychic.

Whether those vacations take members around the world or just across town, MAC has enough offerings to prepare them for nearly any form of recreation. “We can always help members,” says Outdoor Manager Chad Failla. “Whether we offer it or not, our department is an avenue to get wherever they want to go. Even if we don’t do hands-on training, we can always make recommendations.”

Plus, when that all-too-fleeting week is through, the club provides ways to make members feel like they’re still on vacation.

Got hooked on beach volleyball on the sands of Southern California? Nothing will replace the sun, but playing with fellow net ninjas at Adult Volleyball Open Gym (2:30-3:30 & 9-10 p.m. Tuesdays in the West Gym) might help members avoid full-on withdrawal.

Whether planning ahead or looking fondly back, find out how MAC can enhance the magic of spring break.

28 | The Wınged M |

MARCH 2019

People, Get Ready “Spring break is interesting because all of the seasons are still on. There’s still snow, it could potentially be warm enough to get into the rivers, and so you’re kind of looking at everything,” Failla says. “In terms of our programs, cycling starts, but ski’s not done yet. You can get into climbing at that point, depending on weather.

Basically, everything is super weatherdependent here in the Northwest.”

Anyone planning on spending their spring break exploring regional natural beauty will find plenty of value in MAC’s Outdoor program. Powder hounds can take advantage of the annual Sun Valley trip that’s been a tradition for 20-plus years. Activities abound for the whole family, and all at a competitive price.

Registrations are due (reservations@sunvalley.com) no later than the first week of March.

Those who prefer their sports a bit less frosty might take a trek with MAC Walking & Hiking. Whether in search of inspiration for planning a mountain adventure, or simply looking to train for a longer wilderness walk, there’s plenty to be found in The Journey email newsletter each month.

Members also can take lessons or get top-rope belay certified in the club’s indoor climbing gym, or learn to roll a kayak from the safety of the 50-meter Pool. “This is their comfort zone. It’s not intimidating, so they can come here and learn their skills in a controlled environment. That way, when they go outside, it’s a better experience,” Failla says.

There’s also plenty at the club to help those headed to warmer climates get ready to worship at the altar of the sun. Scuba certification is offered in the 50-meter Pool, and swim lessons are a great idea for increasing safety and satisfaction no matter what the weather is like. Surprise the significant other with dance lessons to set the night life on fire, or take a group exercise class to tone that beach body.

Those who like to compete in the heat also can step up their games. Personal Training Supervisor Andy Shupp creates custom routines to help drive golf skills further, and the MAC Tennis program will gladly get members experience on the court ahead of playing their families for bragging rights.

Get Back, MAC, Do It Again Sadly, spring break lasts only one week, and back to work we go. But just because the vacation is over, it doesn’t mean the relaxation and recreation must abruptly derail.

MAC’s restaurants, from 1891 to Joe’s, can keep feelings of festivity and frivolity alive and well with a range of palate pleasers. Make a reservation at the former and enjoy a luxurious dining experience any time of year. Stop by the latter for a fresh fruit smoothie to give even the most grueling workout a tropical flavor.

“Sometimes, spring break turns into a ‘go-go-go’ experience,” says Wellness Manager Will Cath. “It’s important to take a little time for yourself when you return.”

Wellness has plenty of offerings for prioritizing self-care, from massages with one of their licensed therapists, to yoga classes, to consultations with the club’s naturopath to encourage quality sleep and peak performance.

Scheduling a tennis match, or even battling in table tennis, can also be a good way to perpetuate that playing-hooky feeling, as can swimming in any of the club’s pools.

Perhaps consider joining the weekly water volleyball game, or rallying with friends over pickleball.

Lastly, just as the Outdoor program can prepare members for spring break, it also can create the illusion that it never ended.

Why not see the streets or mountain trails from the seat of a bike? Cycling and Mountain Biking lead adventures whenever the weather permits (see page 70). If it’s sunny enough, consider getting out on a lake or river via kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or even with a fishing pole in hand.

“We have a lot of people here who are highly qualified folks in the outdoor industry,” Failla says. “It’s hard to offer everything, but we can at least be an educational resource. We know everybody out there. If you want to learn to cross-country ski, we might not offer it ourselves, but we know where to go. Use us for that. Stop by and ask us questions.”

A History of Helping Those in Need Charity has fed people who are homeless and low-income in downtown Portland for nearly 70 years

By Jake Ten Pas

F

or 67 years, the Blanchet House of Hospitality has provided high-quality meals to Portland’s homeless and lowincome populations free of charge. Anyone in need can get a hot meal, and with no ideological strings attached. There’s no need to sit through a sermon or say a prayer. Since 1952, 16 million people have been fed, and 10,000 men housed.

“It’s always been grassroots,” says Jim O’Hanlon who, along with Gene Feltz, is one of two surviving founders of Blanchet House who also are MAC members. “We didn’t want the government telling us we had to do this or that, or anything. See,

we don’t require those we serve to do anything. If you come in here and you’re hungry, you get to eat.”

That all of this was born out of the desire to meet girls only makes the story more amazing. In 1938, students at Portland’s all-boys Columbia Prep High School decided they wanted to mingle, and set out to form a fraternity to host social functions. After matriculating to University of Portland, their request to create a chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was denied. Instead, they founded the Blanchet Club, a social and service organization named after the first

MARCH 2019

Catholic Archbishop of Oregon, Francis Norbert Blanchet.

Then, World War II happened, and some of the boys behind club didn’t make it back. Blanchet lay dormant until 1947, and O’Hanlon officially joined in 1948 as a sophomore at UP. With the help of classmates and friends such as Kevin Collins; the Harrington brothers, Dan and Bernie; Pat Carr; Hugh McGinnis; Dan Christianson; Joe Petrusich; and Father Francis Kennard, O’Hanlon and Feltz got Blanchet House properly off the ground — or on the ground, helping those stuck there — ­­ in February of 1952.

“At the beginning, we were always fighting just to get food, money, and everything else we needed to get it up and running,” O’Hanlon says. “All these years later, the system is the same. We take them in, we feed them, we shelter them, and we give them clothes if we’ve got them. There are people who need our help, and those are the ones we want to help.”

“The number who need our help is the same as it ever was,” Feltz adds. “We’re essentially in the same location, even though we’re in a new building. The need for meals to be served has not changed.”

New Day Dawning As founding chaplin of the Blanchet House, Father Kennard helped to shape its mission, and was directly inspired by the works of Dorothy Day. A journalist and Catholic convert who crusaded for women’s suffrage, economic equality, pacifism and, most applicable to Kennard’s new charge, direct aid for people who are homeless, Day’s own house of hospitality in New York served as model for Blanchet’s mission.

“It was Kennard’s direction that kept us alive,” O’Hanlon says. “Without him, the club wouldn’t have lasted. What he taught us, and where he took us, is the glue that held us together all these years.”

Together, they found a building on the corner of 4th and Glisan that was being put to considerably less productive use.

“The place we were looking at was a gambling joint down below and a house of ill repute up above,” O’Hanlon explains.

Their monthly rent on the first floor of the building was $35. In order to staff their kitchen and serving line, the founders followed Day’s example of putting those receiving assistance to work feeding their fellow homeless. Soon, they realized that these volunteers needed a place to sleep, and Blanchet expanded into the rest of the building.

In 1956, on the strength of an $8,000 down payment they collected by raffling off a donated Chrysler, Blanchet House bought the whole structure for the now inconceivably low sum of $24,000. Along with the Riley House on NW 18th Ave., which has served a variety of purposes over the years, the other key piece of real estate in this saga is a 60-acre farm in Carlton.

There, another Blanchet House program helps men to get sober and deal with personal issues far from the temptations of city life.

All of this happened before 1962, and until the early 2000s, not much changed for the Blanchet House. They continued to serve people who are homeless and low-income six days a week, and the families behind the scenes grew closer.

While parents would meet to plan the future of Blanchet after Saturday mass, their kids would play together. Jim’s son, Ed, remembers it fondly.

“That was one of my favorite things as a kid, was going to those meetings with all these Feltzes and Christiansons,” Ed recalls. “They would bring three or four kids from every family, and we would just goof around while [the adults] would have their meeting.” While the future might not have been on the kids’ minds back in those carefree days, it’s clear that their parents’ priorities were taking root, and paving the way for the next generation of Blanchet House.

Family Tradition Change is inevitable, even for steadfast institutions and timeless traditions. Until roughly 2004, when they hired an executive director, the Blanchet House didn’t have a single paid employee. Current Executive Director Greg Baker, the house’s second employee, was hired about five years ago.

After Baker came on board, the house brought on a development and marketing team, along with case workers to ensure the individuals they serve are given the greatest chance of success, both while living on the premises and after they leave its security. Another first came in November of 2018, when the board of Blanchet House appointed its first woman president, Emily Harrington.

Harrington first got to know Blanchet while completing her Christian service hours there as a student at Central Catholic High School and UP, and was asked to join the board in 2013 because of her role as a family nurse practitioner and experience caring for vulnerable populations. Also a MAC member, she is the wife of former NFL quarterback and Portland businessman Joey Harrington, whose grandfather and great uncle were Blanchet founders Bernie and Dan, respectively.

“I am humbled by the trust extended to me from both the Blanchet staff and the Board of Directors to lead this wonderful organization,” Emily says. “We have many things on the horizon in 2019 at

both our downtown and Carlton locations that are high mission impact and speak to the evolving needs of our homeless community.

“Being homeless or unsheltered is more of a complex problem than most people are aware of,” Harrington continues. “Mental health, addiction, trauma, poor access to approachable and affordable health care services and a whole other host of unfortunate social determinants make the task of addressing homelessness in our city extremely daunting.”

Joining her on the current board are fellow founding family and MAC members Ed O’Hanlon, Jon Christianson, Dan Petrusich and Rich Ulring, who also is connected to the Harrington clan through marriage. But if the various family trees involved in the Blanchet House can appear complex, its larger mission of taking care of Portland’s growing homeless population remains simple and true to the organization’s roots.

In 2012, that mission got a big boost when, after 10 years of planning, Blanchet House opened its new LEED Platinumcertified headquarters at 3rd Ave. and Glisan St. A bigger, better building has given them the chance to feed even more men and women, as well as allowing those waiting in line to queue inside, out of the elements.

In 2015, Blanchet House also found a new way to generate money to serve its mission in the form of annual brunch fundraisers, held in the same dining room where they serve free meals throughout the year. While the food at the house is known around Portland as being some of the most nutritious and delicious available to people who are homeless, the cuisine offered at these brunches is of an even higher caliber.

That’s thanks to the culinary talents of MAC’s own Executive Chef Philipe Boulot and Sous Chef Deanna Bascom.

In the Club This year, Boulot and Bascom are bringing the brunch to the club, when Blanchet House hosts its fundraiser in The Ballroom on Saturday, March 3. “I am extremely grateful to the MAC for so graciously hosting us on this very impactful day for the organization,” Harrington says. “This is the first year we have moved offsite for this luncheon. We have always recognized how much of Blanchet’s story is told in the Continued on page 34

JULIE SHOWERS

After nearly 70 years, Blanchet House remains true to its founding principles of helping people who are hungry. In the story of Al Riley, Jim O’Hanlon sees the embodiment of the hope and selflessness that it takes to make a difference in the world.

Blanchet House President Emily Harrington volunteering in the dining room.

Continued from page 33 details of our dining room, in the abundance of the meal, and by the faces of those we serve.”

Fortunately, she is confident that her team will “bring the Blanchet spirit to MAC.” “The ample space that MAC is sharing with us allows Blanchet to share our story, develop new partnerships and invite others in to be part of the solution to end homelessness.”

Jim and Ed O’Hanlon also point out that, while the MAC tables accommodate 10 people, “You only get nine, because one is taken.” That seat will be filled by one of the people Blanchet House has served, allowing those who support the house of hospitality’s charitable mission to meet the people whose lives they’re changing.

“This just allows us more space.

The dining room at Blanchet House is a really finite space, which was limiting the amount of people able to be involved,” Ed says. “Plus, MAC is just a nice, beautiful location.”

“I think if people know it’s at the Multnomah Athletic Club, they’ll say, ‘Oh, well, we don’t care what happens. We’ll go there!’ You know what I mean?” Jim adds.

Future’s So Bright With the assistance of donors at this year’s brunch, Blanchet House is plotting its next moves, and looking for ways to continue to address the changing needs of the homeless population. “Not only will this move of location to the MAC Ballroom allow a 50 percent increase in

“Time won’t permit a resume of all that he did or accomplished,” Jim says. “Suffice it to say, it can be summed up when then Archbishop William Levada, now Cardinal Levada, bestowed on Al the Benemerenti Medal, the highest award given to a lay person by the Vatican for promoting social justice and providing help for the poor.”

capacity, but it will provide an opportunity for Blanchet House to grow the financial and community support of our case management and transitional living programs,” says Development Director Kelly Lyons.

In addition to exploring new uses for the Riley House, which might include clinical or other community outreach functions, both O’Hanlons are looking forward to updating the Carlton property and expanding its potential. In the years since that facility opened, it’s become a fully functional farm, as well as a steady producer of Adirondack chairs and other fine woodwork.

Listening to Jim and Ed talk about the farm, it’s hard not to think of a Catholic monastery. Between the sobriety, the hard work, and the dedication to a common cause, its guests resemble monks working at penitence and redemption. “Seeing it myself, it showed me that we were doing some real good there,” Jim says.

While Blanchet House might not make spiritual demands of those it helps, Jim definitely hopes that people feel inspired by the acts of kindness to be better people and pay the kindness forward to others.

Call Me Al While telling the long, circular story of Blanchet House, Jim pauses to reflect on one of its defining protagonists, a man named Al Riley. Long before the program paid its employees, Riley answered a call from Father Louis Weis of St. Mary’s Cathedral for a “man to run the show.” For more than 30 years, from the early 1960s to the early ‘90s, he served as the executive director, dedicating his life to service through the house’s humanitarianism.

There were many other generous souls who enabled Blanchet House’s mission over the years — too many to name them all, in fact. Still, O’Hanlon tries, citing the contributions of organizations as diverse as: St. Vincent, Providence, Franz Bakery, the businessmen of Produce Row, the Oregon Food Bank, St. Mary’s Jesuit, and the Oregon Convention Center. All told, an average of 5,000 volunteers give their time each year, and countless foundations provide funds to keep Blanchet capable of supporting the city’s most vulnerable citizens.

Circling back to Father Kennard, Jim paraphrases the beliefs that still seem to drive the work of a new generation: “Do something really meaningful. Find God in the streets, and go out and live the gospels.”

“There is no question that Blanchet as an organization is in far better condition than when it started,” he says. “We started in 1952 with strong principles, and have followed them ever since.” u Members interested in raising awareness of Blanchet House’s meals programs can pick up cards to hand out either at the brunch on Sunday, March 3 or any time from At Your Service. Brunch tickets are available for purchase at blanchethouse. org/brunch2019.

MAC Basketball Committee Supports the Community

D

uring the winter holidays, Multnomah Athletic Club’s Basketball Committee prepared and served breakfast at New Avenues for Youth, a nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of, and intervention in, youth homelessness in Portland. It was an excellent opportunity for committee members to interact with and encourage young adults to overcome barriers and realize their full potential.

In addition to their time, the committee made a $500 donation to show its support of the organization.

Over the years, the club’s Basketball Committee has passionately supported causes and charitable organizations that are important to members of the MAC Hoops community. Past beneficiaries of these efforts have included the Boys & Girls Club of Portland and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

Proceeds from the Basketball Committee’s annual events, such as the Hack Hoop Open, Poker Tournament and

In 2019, the committee plans to increase its impact in both the MAC and Portland communities by planning service projects, sponsoring local youth to attend basketball camps, and making financial contributions to local nonprofits.

Investments in fixed-income securities are subject to market, interest rate, credit and other risks. Bond prices fluctuate inversely to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a general rise in interest rates can result in the decline in the bond's price. Credit risk is the risk an issuer will default on payments of interest and/or principal. This risk is heightened in lower rated bonds. If sold prior to maturity, fixed income securities are subject to market risk. All fixed income investments maybe worth less than their original cost upon redemption or maturity.

ANNUAL MEETING

PRESIDENT’S REPORT PRESENTED BY OUTGOING PRESIDENT GRANT YOSHIHARA DURING THE 128TH ANNUAL MEETING FEB. 5, 2019

I

am honored to have been able to serve as your president this year. Our accomplishments would not have been possible without the entire board and the entire group of talented members, staff and management.

I want to particularly thank my fellow officers, D’Anne O’Neill, Dave Brezinski, and John Helmer III — you have provided great leadership for the team of trustees.

And I want to thank my wonderful wife, Colleen, who has greatly supported me throughout the three years of board service.

MARCH 2019

We all owe a special thanks to the entire MAC staff for the hard work that has gone into pulling off tonight’s Annual Meeting.

Special thanks are in order to Food & Beverage Director Cameron McMurry, Executive Chef Philippe Boulot, Facilities Director John Sterbis, and their teams, who’ve all transformed our club to inform, entertain, and feed us in such style tonight.

Our accomplishments this year include a continuation of positive developments started last year and the start of some changes you should see progressing over the next years. First, we continued the high level of cooperation between the board and the club’s Executive Leadership Team.

That team consists of General Manager Norm Rich, Finance & Accounting Director Lindsey Bakker, Athletic & Wellness Director Elsa Lemoine, Technology Director Matt Abraham, Member Services Director Lisa Virtue, Marketing Communications Director Jen Scott, Human Resources Director Alison Beppler, Facilities Director John Sterbis, Food & Beverage Director Cameron McMurry, and Director of Operational Efficiency Melania Oppat.

In the past year, the Board and Executive Leadership Team have worked diligently to ensure completion of a strategic direction for the club and begin execution on key initiatives that are identified in the plan.

Our first area of focus has been on implementing strategies that will build a stronger database that can support improved operational decision-making. Frankly, our depth and quality of data has been

insufficient for supporting sound decisionmaking. The initial step in this effort has been focused on membership. We have collected better and deeper data on current member needs and wants, as well as what future members desire in an athletic and social club. This has been done using surveys as well as focus groups. We have also built a framework for objectively assessing programs and services and now are tasked with enriching this database. The information gathered and comparative analysis will help guide our efforts to ensure that we make the necessary changes to meet the needs of current members while also taking steps to evolve programs and services to sustain future member interest.

We have recently received additional information that we hope will improve accessibility to the club. While parking capacity in the neighborhood remains a challenge, we have seen some improvements with the implementation of the program to exclude non-member parking during peak times. However, we recognize

the need for better planning and technology and are evaluating options that will improve peak-time forecasting and better monitor usage. Acquiring additional parking capacity is a significant investment and permitting risk, but we expect to continue to investigate all options to improve member access.

We are also focused on improving site safety and security, especially given changes in the neighborhood with the unfortunate trend of increasing homelessness and crime. The results of a recent audit by an independent firm were just received and we are now working to prioritize and implement improvements to ensure safety and security for our members and staff.

After over a year of evaluation, an extremely difficult decision was made last month to sunset the member coach program in order to reduce legal and financial risk to the club and its members. We are now identifying sport-specific needs to

support this difficult transition during 2019 with the hope of limiting the impact on our athletic programs.

Lastly, I will note that we have begun a broad evaluation of ways to improve our exercise, conditioning, and fitness class capacity as part of our broader wellness initiative. We have seen increasing use of these facilities, and the trend is not expected to change, locally or nationally.

The space evaluation is just now being completed and will then be integrated into the larger effort that includes developing a new long-range Facility Master Plan, which we expect to begin this process in 2019.

You will continue to see well-planned, systematic change as long as we stay on course with executing the key initiatives of the strategic plan. I believe the new Board of Trustees, the Executive Leadership Team and many member volunteers will continue these efforts that have been launched this past year. WM

McAlpin Award

TIM GUNTHER

Each year, the McAlpin Award is presented to an exceptional MAC member who epitomizes dedication, commitment, leadership and volunteerism. This year’s winner is Sydney Baer.

Outgoing Vice President D’Anne O’Neill presents the McAlpin Award to Sydney Baer.

48 | The Wınged M |

MARCH 2019

Dating back to 1983, Baer has devoted herself to more than 15 committees, including Food & Beverage, Junior Events, Communities and Culture & Style. She has given herself tirelessly to the club, volunteering her time and efforts with a warm smile and an open heart. Her peers describe her as a natural director, one whose leadership style brings forth ideas from others and encourages participation.

Baer leads by example; she is reliable, dependable, creative, inclusive and genuine.

Her involvement includes lending her voice to the MelloMacs, and she traveled to Carnegie Hall for a performance in 2018 with the Balladeers. As one of her fellow members pointed out, she was among the first to join MACorps. “She embraced its goals of bringing members together and being good stewards of our neighborhood.”

Baer not only serves at MAC, but also around the metropolitan area, giving her time to Urban Gleaners and the Bloom Project, and making bouquets from donated flowers for ailing community members. She is quick with her wit and humble in her efforts. Her sincere love of MAC and the community is an inspiration to all.

ANNUAL MEETING

Wall of Fame Induction

TIM GUNTHER

Spencer Raymond, Brian Dooney, Hillary Kresse, Bridget Culp

The pinnacle of MAC athletic prowess is displayed on the Wall of Fame, a virtual athletic timeline members and guests see as they walk in the front door. These athletes are MAC members who have placed first or second in a national open competition, earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic team, or been nationally recognized for exceptional achievement in sport.

Dylan Reid is the latest champion added to the wall.

Reid began playing racquetball at MAC at the age of six.

He and his younger brother, Sam, took to the sport very quickly, and first represented MAC at the junior national championships in Minneapolis in 1999 at ages six and five.

Sam’s skills drove Dylan to improve his game, and at age 10, he started coming into his own on the racquetball court.

During Reid’s junior racquetball career, he played in 12 National Championships and earned a spot on the Junior National Team five times. In 2007 at Junior Worlds in Bolivia, Reid beat the top player from Mexico and earned third place.

Dylan also had strong finishes at the World Championships in San Luis Potisi, Mexico in 2004; in Juarez, Mexico in 2006; and in Phoenix, Arizona in 2008.

Reid was the founding member of Lincoln High School’s racquetball team in 2007, and each year was a top finisher at high school State and National Championships. Dylan also excelled on the baseball field, introducing many of his baseball friends to the sport. This led to a tradition of varsity baseball and softball players honing their footwork and hand-eye skills on the racquetball court, which ultimately led to a Lincoln Racquetball State Championship and a Lincoln Baseball PIL Championship in 2010.

Jennifer Kavanaugh, Dan and Pete Kavanaugh

While attending Washington University in St. Louis, Reid put down his racquet to focus on playing baseball. But once his baseball eligibility was completed, his love for racquetball was rekindled. As a graduate student, Reid represented Washington University at the Collegiate Nationals in Phoenix in 2015, earning a third-place finish.

Reid returned to Portland in late 2015, and has won the Oregon State Championships and Pacific Northwest Regional Championships each year since then. In 2017, Reid became the first player to win Men’s Open titles at State and Regional Championships and win U.S. National Singles and U.S. Open titles in the same year. He repeated the feat at National Singles in May 2018 and then started playing only professional divisions.

He truly has become an elite player at the highest level of racquetball.

MEET THE NEW TRUSTEES The Nominating Committee selected four candidates to serve on the Board of Trustees to help lead the club for the next three years. Candidates were presented and voted in at the 2019 Annual Meeting in February.

The sheer number of members who have been MAC trustees during the club’s 128-year history makes it difficult to say with certainty that Chase McPherson is the youngest. But he’s certainly right up there in terms of the youthful energy he brings to his charge of helping to steward the institution into the future.

“I have enjoyed my time in the committee system, and I am honored to be asked to be a trustee,” McPherson says. “One reason I accepted the position is to try to give more of a voice to our younger members and younger families, who typically are underrepresented on the trustee level.”

Being a first-time father of a 20-monthold son has taught McPherson that things constantly change, and he says that, while it can be tough, it makes life so much more special. “I think my perspective as a father

Charles “Chase” McPherson

“The best listeners are people who not only pay attention to what someone is saying, but also try to understand where they come from.”

—Chase McPherson and husband of a young family can help the board gain a different point of view,” he says.

McPherson also hopes to expand his own perspective by being present and learning about the club’s rich history and the intricacies of its processes and programs. That includes how the club’s employees help membership behind the

scenes, thinking through how he and his fellow trustees can help guide big projects that may not come to fruition until after his tenure on the board has concluded.

“What I am most interested in learning about at MAC is how to work collaboratively with everyone to honor our many club traditions…”

—Carol Robertson

“The best listeners are people who not only pay attention to what someone is saying, but also try to understand where they come from,” he says. “Understanding a person’s perspective will help you to actually hear what they are saying.”

“Most members, including myself, have only had a taste of what all the club has to offer. I’m a big fan of trying new things. I had never played racquetball before, and was asked by a friend to try it out. It would be great if more people tried new things.

I’m really excited to join my fellow trustees on this adventure.”

Carol Robertson Carol Robertson never felt driven to be a trustee. The first time she was asked, she thought her plate was too full. Between her job as a teacher, helping to plan her daughter’s wedding, and her then committee experience being limited to the athletic side of the club, she wasn’t ready. So, she turned down the opportunity.

Looking back from her current position as a new trustee, however, it seems to her that everything she’s done in her life has helped to prepare her for this opportunity.

“My childhood in Northeast Portland taught me perseverance and resilience.

My public-school education taught me to understand and appreciate diversity, as well as to value having academic and athletic goals that required hard work to achieve,” she says. “Educating children during my 31-year career in the Beaverton School District taught me the value and satisfaction of making this world a better place, one individual at a time.”

Clearly, Robertson never stops learning.

Her 45 years of MAC membership have taught her the value of friendships, and her grown children continue to teach her how to be the best mom and grandma she can be. They also inspire her to constantly better herself.

Given how many moving pieces MAC has, she’s going to need these lessons and more to accomplish all that she hopes to during her time as a trustee. “The committee is entrusting me and my fellow trustees to be a part of MAC’s complicated governance, and to do what is best for each and every member,” she says. “I believe most situations — from the smoothest to the thorniest ­— can be resolved in a win-win fashion. But this takes time and careful consideration on the part of all parties.”

“My biggest hope for my time on the board is to park my ego outside the door, put aside any personal agendas, and do solely what is best for the club.”

This dedication extends to her involvement not just with club governance, but also to enjoying the rich athletic and social life the club offers. Robertson plays squash and tennis, cycles, skis, frequents the Exercise and Conditioning Room, and takes a stretching class at least once a week.

She also genuinely likes serving on committees, and describes them as a “community of people I enjoy.”

The kids are more than alright! They’re the apples of your eye.

Robert Torch For a man with a last name that means to burn, Robert Torch sure seems to build a lot of bridges. The former corporate finance lawyer has enjoyed the fine art of teamwork ever since he was a kid playing soccer, baseball and basketball. “What I ultimately enjoyed most about my law career was working within a team towards a common goal,” he says. “I love helping to solve problems, and am hoping that my experience will contribute to the board’s sound decision making.”

“My favorite aspect of life at MAC is the breadth of athletic and social offerings,” he continues. “I love variety and trying new things, and I don’t think there are too many social events or sports at the club that I haven’t tried, at least recreationally.”

MARCH 2019

“Input from our members helps the MAC to be able to service a wide range of people. When you stay active and involved through volunteering, you can impact lives.”

All of this experience has helped Torch to understand and appreciate the extraordinary amount of time that board members, and especially officers, spend volunteering their time. He’s also seen increased alignment between the board and the Executive Leadership Team on aspects of the club’s overall operations. “I’d like to help continue to foster that type of relationship, as I think that is critical to MAC maintaining its reputation as one of the top athletic and social clubs in the U.S.” “The constant challenge is being able to strike a good balance between competing interests among club members,” he says. “I am going to try very hard to listen to members’ concerns and suggestions and to help the board and ELT to make the best decisions we can in the interests of the majority of the members.”

Torch first joined MAC as a nonresident member in 2008, before becoming a resident member upon moving from London to Portland in 2011. His first taste of committee life came when he joined Budget & Finance in 2013, and he immediately “found it interesting learning about the club’s finances and helping to review and recommend an annual budget that allows MAC to continue to offer premier athletic and social experiences, while keeping dues increases at a reasonable level.”

After serving on a couple of ad hoc committees, he took what seemed to him the next logical step. “I put my name in the hat to be on the Athletics Committee, in large part because even though I participate in a number of sports at MAC, I’ve never become very involved in any one particular sport. It’s been fun getting to know the various people and committees involved in MAC athletic programs.”

take the next step of becoming a trustee, she says, “I thought it would be a challenge, and that I’d have something to offer the club as a longtime member.”

“The constant challenge is being able to strike a good balance between competing interests among club members.”

Zander’s own life has certainly been positively impacted by the club in a number of ways. She’s enjoyed taking Italian, art classes, Pilates and other fitness classes, among a breadth of offerings over the years. She’s an avid tennis player, and has played on many teams in her time at MAC, including at the Nationals with her USTA team.

Still, she says her favorite aspect of life at MAC is the sense of community.

Along with her husband, Bill, Reidun represents half of a MAC “power couple,” which continues to shape the club’s cultural life through involvement in a number of key events and initiatives. Members since 1975, both are steeped in all that makes MAC remarkable, and Reidun looks forward to extending that legacy into the future during her time on the board.

Reidun Zander Governing a club the size of MAC is no joke, and Reidun Zander takes her responsibility very seriously. “My hope is to make a contribution on some of the difficult issues that arise at MAC,” she says.

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 sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of activities, changes in net assets (Club equity), cash flows for the years then ended, the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, and consolidated statement of functional expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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 audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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, 2018 and 2017, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

During 2012, the Club created two entities, MAC Block 7, LLC and Design Center PDX, LLC. During 2013, the Club created one entity, MAC 21, LLC. All of these entities (collectively referred to as 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.

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. 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.

As discussed below under Recently Adopted Standards, as of December 31, 2018 the Club adopted Accounting Stan-

dards Update No. 2016-14 – Not for Profit Entities (Topic 958): Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-ForProfit Entities. This standard changed the terminology for unrestricted net assets to use the term “net assets without donor restrictions.” As a membership organization, the Club does not receive contributions from donors and therefore does not have any net assets with donor restrictions; however, the terminology has been updated throughout these financial statements from “unrestricted net assets” to “net assets without donor restrictions” as required in accordance with FASB guidance.

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 continued on page 62

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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.

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 charge-

MARCH 2019

off 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 in marketable securities 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. Unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities.

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: Clubhouse and improvements 5-40 years Equipment, furniture, and fixtures 3-7 years Parking structure and athletic facilities 10-40 years Software and technology 3 years Property, plant, and equipment acquisitions, renewals, 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.

Membership dues and initiation fees Membership dues are recognized as revenue in the applicable membership period.

The Club collects a portion of initiation fees from prospective members as they are placed on the waiting list and includes these amounts in deferred revenue. The Club also has programs in place to promote prepayment of initiation fees for juniors and spouses. Initiation fees are recognized as revenue on acceptance to the membership.

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

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 subsidiaries, MAC Block 7, LLC, Design Center PDX, LLC, and MAC 21, LLC, 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.

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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Club recognized no interest or penalties and had no material uncertain tax positions.

Functional allocation of expenses 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.

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.

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. During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Club changed its overhead allocations between the Athletics department and the Facilities and Housekeeping department in order to more accurately represent the underlying costs incurred in each respective department.

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.

Recently adopted standards As of December 31, 2018, the Club adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-14 – Not for Profit Entities (Topic 958): Presentation of Financial Statements of NotFor-Profit Entities. This guidance is intended to improve the net asset classification requirements and the information presented in the financial statements and notes about a not-for-profit entity’s liquidity, financial performance, and cash flows. Main provisions of this guidance include: presentation of two classes of net assets versus the previously required three; recognition of capital gifts for construction as a net asset without donor restrictions when the associated long-lived asset is placed in service; and recognition of underwater endowment funds as a reduction in net assets with donor restrictions. The guidance also enhances disclosures for board designated amounts,

2018 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS composition of net assets without donor restrictions, liquidity, and expenses by both their natural and function classification.

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 31, 2019, 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, 2018: Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,257,466 Accounts receivable 6,770,284 Inventories 386,060

Total

$ 15,413,810

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 $27,786,227 in long-term investments as of December 31, 2018 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:

2018 2017 Land and improvements $ 1,999,407 $ 1,999,407 Clubhouse and improvements 71,492,713 70,882,577 Equipment, furniture, and fixtures 19,092,631 18,268,656 Parking structure and athletic facilities 8,102,998 8,102,998 Total property, plant, and equipment 100,687,749 99,253,638 Less accumulated depreciation (52,696,775) (47,246,478) 47,990,974 52,007,160 Construction in progress 1,093,339 Property, plant, and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation

88,996

$ 49,084,313 $ 52,096,156

Construction in progress at December 31, 2018 and 2017 consists primarily of costs related to various remodeling and expansion projects.

No significant disposals occurred during the year ended December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Club disposed of $73,205 of property, plant, and equipment no longer in use for a loss of $1,304.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities 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.

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, 2018 and 2017 of the Club’s assets based on the level of inputs utilized in determining the value of such investments:

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 changes in valuation methodologies or assumptions during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017 Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies Operating leases The Club leases certain office equipment and parking under operating lease agreements.

The Club incurred operating lease expenses of $249,288 and $239,454 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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 27%, 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:

2018 2017 Federal $ 112,595 $ 165,151 State and local 122,771 78,564 Total taxes on unrelated business income

$

235,366 $ 243,715

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, 2018 and 2017. 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.

Note 7 – Employee Benefit Plan 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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $906,639 and $934,937, respectively. In addition, the Club pays a portion of administrative expenses of the plan.

Note 8 – Concentration of Credit Risk 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.

WELLNESS

Mindfulness: A Key to Mental Wellness M indfulness seems to be everywhere. In workshops, articles, books and podcasts, it’s hailed as a key to well-being and a more engaged life. So, what is everyone talking about?

Mindfulness can be defined as paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It is both a mental skill: the ability to focus your attention, and an attitude: paying attention in an openminded, patient and curious way.

It is often referred to as the opposite of “auto-pilot,” that sense of going through the motions, or “zoning out,” and reacting without thinking. Arriving at a destination with no memory of the route taken, eating without tasting food, unintentionally losing one’s cool before realizing it. These are auto-pilot experiences to which everyone can relate.

Mindfulness Bootcamp Group Meetings Mondays, April 8, 15 and 22 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Retreat Saturday, April 27 9 a.m.-noon $200 per person includes three, one-hour sessions, additional coaching between sessions (in person or virtually) and final retreat and workshop wrap up.

66 | The Wınged M |

MARCH 2019

Mindfulness helps a person observe an experience, and better choose how to respond. With that awareness comes an ability to better tolerate discomforts and increased capacity to appreciate the richness of life.

Of course, the stresses and distractions of modern life conspire to keep the mind on auto-pilot. Just like any ability or muscle that needs regular exercise to stay strong, the skill of mindfulness needs to be practiced. In fact, the benefits of mindfulness don’t really kick in until a person practices regularly over a period of time.

There is a growing body of research on mindfulness that shows it can help sharpen attention, increase resiliency to stress, increase compassion, improve mental health, improve the ability to navigate conflict in relationships, and even improve aspects of physical health such as immune-system functioning. The good news: Being mindful is something everyone has the natural ability to do.

MAC’s Mindfulness Bootcamp with Jed Grodin is designed to both help the development of a regular mindfulness practice and support those who already are practicing. Weekly group meetings are a place to receive instruction, ask questions and share experiences. Instructor office hours are available for those who need a boost between group meetings. Mindfulness assignments will be provided (and encouraged) for daily practice. The series ends with a one-day “retreat,” giving participants the experience of an extended mindfulness practice. u Jed Grodin has been practicing and teaching mindfulness meditation for more than 15 years and teaches mindfulness techniques in his role as a yoga teacher and as a part of his work as a clinical psychologist.

Preparing the Body for Spring Break Travel

F

or many, spring break includes travel, which means exposure to new bacteria. The human body has an amazing and elaborate ecosystem, but it can easily get imbalanced. Since common traveling complaints are often constipation or diarrhea, taking a favorite probiotic on a trip is always a good idea. I recommend starting before and continuing for at least seven days post travel.

Drinking filtered water (about half your body weight in ounces per day) is a good first step in preventing constipation, but I recommend adding magnesium as well.

Magnesium not only helps with regular bowel movements, but it can also help with muscle tension and quality of sleep.

Another cheap and effective preventative measure for GI health balance is adding a few drops of grapefruit liquid extract to your water when traveling.

Grapefruit extract can be effective in preventing or treating travelers’ diarrhea and

GI disturbances. However, it can also kill off or deplete the normal healthy bacteria in your gut, so, again, take a probiotic with you. Also, please keep in mind that grapefruit extract can interfere with certain medications and cause serious side effects.

Check with your primary care physician before adding liquid grapefruit extract to your water.

Oil of oregano is another good antimicrobial, antiseptic, anti-parasitical, antiinflammatory, and antioxidant. You can use it for wounds and for traveler’s diarrhea.

Packing a few inexpensive items that you can get at health food stores may be the difference between an exceptional spring break and a disappointing one.

Need more travel health tips? Join me the second Tuesday of each month at 4:30 p.m. for Healthy Happy Hour in MACtinis.

Stomach issues? Headaches? Irritable?

Skin rashes or breakouts? Unexplainable muscle aches and pains? Constipation?

Gear Up for Cycling Season

T

he MAC Cycling Committee is incredibly excited about the 2019 riding season, beginning this month with classes and officially kicking off in April with a full calendar of rides through October.

For members with bikes that have been sitting in the garage all winter, the Cycling Committee is offering two classes to get them back into gear. On Thursday, March 21, Western Bike Works hosts a tech talk and upkeep course for MAC members (along with food and beer) at their space in northwest Portland. There’s also an informal bike safety course and an evening social at MAC on Thursday, March 28. Anyone looking to get more comfortable with the rules of the road can socialize with members and member coaches before the riding season begins.

Portland and the surrounding area offer some of the best city and country riding in the U.S., and MAC’s Cycling program offers weekly rides for all skill levels and interests. Every Wednesday, beginning April 3, join other moderate-to-advanced

MARCH 2019

riders looking to get a good workout, improve their form and socialize. On Thursdays, beginning April 4, members can drop in on 10- to 15-mile social rides focused on exploring Portland, riding safely and having fun. Every ride will be staffed by knowledgeable member coaches who are there to make sure everyone gets the most out of the experience.

u Sign-up information for the Wine Ride, details on other upcoming rides and events, as well as information about the Cycling program are posted on the Cycling page at theMAC.com. Be sure to select “Add to My Interests” to receive timely email communications from MAC Cycling.

In addition to weekly rides, organized rides on the second Saturday of each month explore different areas around Portland. Whether it’s circling Hagg Lake or weaving the backroads of the Columbia Gorge, these rides help cyclists get out and explore no matter their skill level. Second Saturday rides begin March 9, with a flat and fun ride to Broughton Beach State Park.

July heralds the return of the MAC Wine Ride; this year on July 28. The beloved excursion takes members through beautiful Oregon wine country with opportunities for a few stops at wineries along the way.

ATHLETICS MAC Gymnastics: On to College

M

AC Gymnastics takes pride in nurturing athletes who are both great gymnasts and students. For nearly two decades, MAC’s Gymnastics program has facilitated opportunities for more than 20 female athletes to extend their careers at the collegiate level, both as full-ride scholarship athletes as well as joining teams as walk-ons.

Three former MAC athletes are currently competing at the collegiate level as gymnasts, and one transitioned her gymnastics skills to the new sport of acrobatics and tumbling.

Jaime Law and Destinee Davis are competing for Oregon State University as juniors; Grace Donaghy is at the University of North Carolina, also as a junior; and Jaden Andrus is on the acro and tumbling team at Arizona Christian University as a freshman.

“Handling college is challenging for most, especially out of state, and it is great to hear they are all booming into their collegiate careers, both as athletes and as students,” says MAC Coach Cassandra Jusino.

After years as an elite gymnast, Davis transitioned back into the junior Olympic program while at MAC and earned herself a spot on the Oregon State gymnastics team. She’s looking to compete on Vault, Beam and Floor in the 2019 season. Law, who commuted as a MAC athlete to Portland from Corvallis five days a week, had always wanted to be a Beaver, and though she has had a few injuries, is hoping to earn a spot on Vault, Bars or Beam this season.

(left to right): Destinee Davis, Grace Donaghy, Jaime Law Joining athletic teams has helped both Donaghy and Andrus make new friends while learning more about who they are as individuals far from home. They have both made the travel teams and will get a chance to compete in Oregon this year.

Andrus competed with her acro and tumbling team in Eugene in February. The three gymnasts compete in Corvallis on Friday, March 15. Contact Girls Team coach Rob Petit for details: rpetit@themac.com.

Cross-Training With Racquetball Step 2: Stride T

he grass is freshly cut from spring training, heralding the start of baseball and softball seasons. One excellent way to prepare, and stay strong, is by heading to a racquetball court. In addition to being a life-long sport (check out the Golden Masters program!) it’s also an excellent cross-training tool for other sports, such as baseball and softball.

Racquetball is fast-paced, requiring agility, quickness and great coordination. With professional athletes hitting the ball at around 160 miles per hour and recreational players serving at speeds up to 120 mph, it is an excellent way to improve hand-eye coordination and reaction time. The small and quick movements (fast-twitch muscles) needed to play racquetball carry over to the speed and agility required for playing the infield. A good racquetball player in a competitive match might dive for the ball several times in a rally.

What better way to practice infield/outfield drills? Racquetball also compliments the anaerobic nature of diamond sports.

T

he MAC Golden Masters Racquetball Program began more than 20 years ago under the leadership of Ralph Davis (1920-2016), long-time PSU track and field coach, and health and physical education professor who played through his 92nd year. After retirement, “coach” provided the vision, camaraderie and competitive spirit to enrich and grow what has become a MAC Racquetball community tradition.

Members of the Golden Masters range in age from 50 to 100 years old and include both veteran players and those who have

more recently taken up the sport to promote and maintain their individual fitness. Many players have graduated from MAC’s competitive racquetball intramural program and several have competed at regional and national levels, including Fritz Camp and Carl Gobel, who have won a number of doubles tournaments.

The Golden Masters play on Courts 7-10 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. All skill levels are welcome. Depending on the season, there are between 15 and 25 players on the courts.

Swim Team Summer Camp Joins Metro Swim League Kids offered a gentle introduction to competitive swimming

I

f you are the parent of school-age kids, it seems it’s never too early to start thinking about summer camps. MAC’s Swim Team Camp is a great morning option for kids ages 6-14. Studies have shown that swimming helps improve kids’ mood and concentration, which carries over into the rest of the day’s activities!

The weekly camp program is broken into swimming skill development, in-water games, team bonding and dryland conditioning.

It runs weekday mornings from 9 to 11, which leaves plenty of daytime hours for other activities and experiences.

New this year, the program has joined the Portland Metro Swim League to provide a fun and welcoming introduction to the recreational level of competitive swimming. As part of the league, MAC athletes have the opportunity to attend meets throughout the summer at various pools — most of which are outdoor! Meets give participants a chance to try out different swimming events, join relays, and experience the excitement of being on a team.

Meets are held Saturdays beginning June 30, and any swimmer who participates in a week or more of Swim Team Camp throughout the summer is welcome to swim at any of the meets.

The summer culminates with a championship meet where trophies are awarded to the winning teams. It’s a great way to wrap up the summer and see each swimmer’s progress.

ifeguards are some of MAC’s most highly trained staff members. In order to maintain high standard of safety and professionalism, the club requires an all-staff in-service training day once a month where lifeguards practice rescue techniques, review American Red Cross safety and emergency skills, and cover points of interest and improvement for the next month Additionally, each month MAC Aquatics selects four lifeguarding skills that staff are required to complete individually during their break times. Ten of the club’s lifeguards also have their lifeguard instructor certification, meaning they can instruct a lifeguard class along with a variety of other American Red Cross courses. The result of this training is a team of competent and confident aquatic safety staff.

ATHLETICS Casey, Matt Steele and Charles Dean also spent numerous hours volunteering during the four-day tournament. Thanks also to the many MAC handball players who served as volunteer referees.

Quality collision repair for your luxury automobile.

World Players of Handball (WPH) Pro Stop The WPH Pro Stop was held in conjunction with the USHA Junior Nationals at MAC. This event brought 32 of the best handball players in the world to MAC for amazing athletic performances over the course of the three-day event.

The club was represented on the court by member coach Aaron Garner, who lost in the second round to the No. 3 player in the world, and MAC member Steven Stenberg, who lost to the No. 9 player in the world in the first round.

Protecting Your Investment.

Both had solid performances and demonstrated the quality of handball played at MAC. Junior players not only had a chance to get autographs and have photos taken with the pros, they were also able to participate in pro-led clinics.

From the Archives

Champion Diver H

azel Olmstead, pictured here in March 1930 with four of her medals, won numerous state and local championships in fancy diving in the late 1920s and early 1930s. She finished second in the American Athletic Union National Junior Fancy Diving Championships held on March 17, 1930, in San Francisco.

Olmstead was not the only Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club athlete coached

by Jack Cody who experienced success that year. Swimmer Maxine Steelbinder set a Pacific Coast record in the 200-yard breaststroke, and won city and state swim meets. ­—Luke Sprunger, club archivist
