t’s been uplifting to see so many members returning to MAC over the past couple of months.

Recently, I was able to celebrate my birthday at 1891 with my family, and it was a wonderful feeling being back in a place Robert Torch that is so close to my PRESIDENT heart. It’s my hope that circumstances continue to improve, and I can’t wait to see even more of our community return.

There has been a broad movement in place for decades attempting to increase inclusivity at MAC, and I want to acknowledge the efforts and accomplishments of prior boards and the leadership of previous MAC presidents.

So much has already changed in a positive way during the past few months, and I’m optimistic that the future remains bright.

As a member of the Portland metropolitan community, we recognize that our city faces significant challenges as the region emerges from the COVID pandemic, and the board and I believe that MAC should play a role in assisting with recovery efforts. To that end, we have started work with our Member Events Committee and Community Relations Subcommittee to explore opportunities to partner with other local organizations to help our city where it’s needed. Portland has been our home for 130 years, and we’re excited with the prospect of supporting the effort to keep it the vibrant and thriving city that we love.

Charles Leverton

In March I took part in the first quarterly member Q&A with General Manager Charles Leverton, and we heard a lot of positive feedback from members. We strive to be as open and transparent as possible, and it’s important to give members the opportunity to express their concerns and ask us questions in real time.

Stephanie Cameron

It’s fitting that the arrival of spring brings in the new committee chairs, who will assume their updated roles this month.

I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to them all. The committee system is the lifeblood of the club and members’ ongoing passion, involvement and investment in the club is inspiring.

Ways to Reach MAC atyourservice@themac.com or 503-517-7235

DEI continues to be one of the more important initiatives on the Board of Trustee’s agenda, and I’m confident we’re heading in the right direction. We’re committed to carrying on the work done by past boards, who made bold steps toward creating a more inclusive environment.

I’ve received overwhelming support for more initiatives, including the formation of a standing DEI Committee. Former MAC President William Lee spearheaded the effort to establish the committee last fall, and the board is committed to advancing this work, some of which is highlighted in this issue.

Good Neighbors

Spring is here. The weather is improving, and days are getting longer as we climb out of the winter months. It’s a time of renewal, and nowhere is that more apparent than at MAC as energy returns to the club. The MAC Access Project is also progressing and should be completed in May, so remember to submit your requests for new credentials, which will be needed to access the parking garage and clubhouse.

(More details are on pages 12 and 13.)

We also still need your help to keep everyone safe when you return to the club.

Stay vigilant, wear your mask, and please respect your fellow members and staff.

pring has arrived! As our state begins to blossom and we emerge from the darkness of winter, both literally and metaphorically, I am excited about the new season ahead. MAC staff Charles Leverton and member leadGENERAL MANAGER ership have now spent more than 12 months learning and growing as we pivoted our way through the toughest year in the club’s history. As Oregonians we adapt and overcome, rather than wait for the sun to return. We spent the past year getting active by the thousands in the garage, learning how to congregate on Zoom, and enjoying the best outdoor restaurant experience in town.

The change of seasons is accompanied by a burgeoning resurgence of club programming. The once dormant halls are filling again with the laughter of children, the sounds of restaurant plates reaching delighted customers, and the general bustle of a community returning stronger than ever.

I’ve watched our gymnastics teams go virtual, then move into a surprisingly fun garage experience, and now return to the arena with new safety precautions in place.

Along the way, our gymnastics community has grown stronger. I am seeing this repeated across the club in many of our programs. The amazing result of this past year is our ability to think beyond our building and offer even deeper opportunities as we re-open. We can meet virtually, at a unique location or inside our amazing facilities. MAC has proven that it remains more than just a building; it is a thriving community of health.

Holistic Health Journey Our amazing team continues to impress me with their ingenuity, passion and commitment to serving members. As an example, the new Fitness Room is impressive and we are already hearing great reviews from those of you who have begun

using the space. But the Fitness team is not satisfied with just delivering a new gym. They are partnering with Wellness to better integrate your recovery and ensure you are well equipped with knowledge on how to keep you mobile without pain. Our world-class culinary team and in-house dietician are available to help guide your nutritional journey and ensure you are fueled before and after your workout.

There is also close collaboration happening with competitive and recreational teams to encourage well-rounded athletes who maintain a holistic approach to sports as they progress through their careers. These are all examples of MAC’s commitment to assist you on your health journeys.

Dining Options Our culinary team continues to offer new ways to keep you socially active at the club.

Gourmet coffee is available weekday mornings in the Sports Pub, indoor and outdoor dining opportunities are now available year round, and our highly popular pickup meals are going to remain for some time.

In-Club Opportunities Next we will focus on getting more of you in the building safely, increasing our operating hours, and cautiously reintroducing member events such as in-person committee meetings, celebrations of life, and themed events for members of all ages.

Our beloved Thorns and Timbers play their first home games of the season in April, which means a chance for member fans to watch games from the Stadium Terrace.

As always, my optimism comes with caution and a call for diligence. We must continue our vigilance and keep a measured response to the ever-remaining specter of this global pandemic. We also hope that you continue sharing comments, suggestions and expressions of gratitude for our staff. We truly value your feedback, and many of your great suggestions have been enacted. The team also loves hearing where we are doing well as it helps us know where to keep investing our resources. Of course, you are always welcome to just let us know as we see each other in the club.

See you soon!

FACES OF MAC Celebration of Champions Edition To hear Jeanine Cavagnaro tell it, the one absent aspect from this year’s Celebration of Champions was the ability to share such a special night with her club family. “The only thing I missed was sitting around the table in the Ballroom, enjoying a great meal, and dressed up with my teammates,” she says.

Hopefully taking home the Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award made up for the lack of in-person revelry! After 28 years of competing with MAC Synchro, now often referred to as Artistic Swimming, Cavagnaro was honored for her unbridled enthusiasm and commitment to the sport she loves.

“It is a special honor to win this award as I was nominated by my peers and coaches,” she says.

“To know they view me as an inspirational athlete humbles me and fills me with pride.

“Being a premier athletic club, MAC supports excellence in all sports, and artistic swimming is no exception. I have been fortunate to have had outstanding coaches and fantastic teammates. Additionally, MAC has supported my pursuit of athletics through the developmental and championship funding mechanism, when appropriate, which has been terrific.”

Such funding helps propel competitors to approved tournaments and other opportunities with the financial assistance of the club when they meet program-specific requirements, like finishing in first or second place. Cavagnaro has taken home more than 50 medals at such national and international meets.

That’s helped Cavagnaro develop at a high level, but she’s not the only one who’s come a long way in her nearly three decades with the program.

“When I started in synchronized swimming in 1992, the team was known as the MerMacs. This group of women were so inspiring!,” she recalls. “As with all sports, it is those who have gone before us that pave the way for future generations. Having Lucie Svrcinova, a former Olympian, as our coach always motivates me to be my best.”

Cavagnaro’s passion for her chosen pursuit doesn’t hurt either.

“Artistic swimming is the perfect balance of athletics, grace and teamwork, all in the water. It exemplifies the ‘4 Ds’ of Joe Loprinzi: dedication, determination, desire and discipline. But most of all, I love swimming to music with my synchro family!”

National Champions were also recognized at the this year’s event. Their names are posted at themac.com/group/pages/ celebration-of-champions.

If at first you don’t succeed – just keep going back to the Celebration of Champions until you do! It certainly seems to have worked for swimming star Kevin Keil, the recipient of this year’s Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Award. His 20 club Swim Team records don’t hurt, either.

“Winning this award means a lot to me, especially since I did not win it last year. This kind of cements my legacy and accomplishments into MAC’s great history,” he says. “I enjoyed the great community that was represented at the celebration. Even though it was online this year and I was over 2,000 miles away, I still felt like I was right there with everyone else who was on the Zoom call.”

Keil says the club played a huge role in his achievement of so much at such a young age. “MAC helped me reach my goals by providing not only pool space, but a great coaching staff, who are more than just coaches to me. Without them, I would have quit swimming a long time ago, but because of their optimism and guidance, I learned to love the sport.

“Every single one of my coaches is and was at the club day-in and day-out. Whether it’s 5 a.m. or 5 p.m., they are there, ready to yell, cheer and clap for whoever, whenever.”

He has similar words of praise for a support team closer to home: “My mom and dad are my biggest role models. They are always there through my ups and downs and know what to say when something needs to be said. They push me to be my best by never pushing me too hard, and always cheer for me as loud as they can at my meets.”

Keil’s next goal is to become a finalist at the Olympic trials in June.

After that, he hopes to make the NCAA Championship meet in 2022 or 2023. Whatever happens, his love of the sport is solidified.

Or perhaps liquified would be more appropriate?

“Swimming is always there for me. It could be the best or worst day of my life, but I always know that I’m going to have to get into the pool, work my butt off, and forget about everything else,” he says.

“That’s what I love about swimming: the silence and the individualism of going down and back hundreds or even thousands of times.

The feeling after you finish a long, hard set is blissful, and though your body may hurt like hell, well, at least it’s over!”

Correction: The February issue incorrectly identified the winner of the 2019 holiday counting contest. The champion’s name is Maggie Carew.

Cornerstones TRACKING OREGON’S PROGRESS ECONOMIC MOBILITY

and

BELONGING IN OREGON

For the first time in U.S. history, young adults are less likely to earn more than their parents, shattering the timehonored belief that if you work hard, you’ll prosper. Family circumstances, educational experiences, race and ethnicity and a ZIP code all play a significant role on a child’s ability to get ahead — determining the rest of their life. To find out how a ZIP code impacts opportunity, download OCF’s newly-released report, “Cornerstones: Economic Mobility and Belonging in Oregon,” and learn about ways to advance economic mobility for future generations of Oregonians.

DEI Survey Results Support Increased Engagement and Change

W

hen MAC took up the cause of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) last year, it was important to all involved that club efforts avoid the purely performative aspect that is the easiest part of change. While expressing a desire to pursue a different, and sometimes more difficult path, is a key first step, the road to genuine improvement of conditions for all members is a long one, and each step counts.

Given the long history this community shares, and the unwieldy nature of true organizational growth, the club’s first step took the form of an Inclusion Survey. It was designed to, for the first time, get a sense of the club’s racial and ethnic makeup, and measure member perspectives and potential interest in offerings associated with DEI. The Inclusion Survey was initiated and developed by the Diversity Admissions Committee (DAC) in the summer of 2020.

In the fall, the Board of Trustees acted on a recommendation from DAC to establish a separate DEI ad hoc committee to expand efforts beyond the scope of DAC. As members of that group, we are excited to update you on what’s been happening!

The focus of the DEI ad hoc committee is to recommend and monitor policies; partner with other committees; and collaborate on strategy development for designing, coordinating and organizing plans, initiatives and activities that lead to diversity, equity and inclusion throughout the club. There are four subcommittees in the areas of membership, policy, programming and communications.

All of the work of the DEI ad hoc committee is in support of the club mission “To enrich lives, foster friendships and build upon traditions of excellence in athletic, wellness and social programs.”

The DEI ad hoc committee took the lead on reviewing the survey results, and it formed a task force team for that purpose.

The team is composed of members of the DEI ad hoc and DAC, along with a club member who was involved in the creation of the survey. It is composed of two Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) members and two white members.

This is the first in a series of articles intended to share what we have initially learned from the survey and the evolving work of the DEI ad hoc committee.

We are grateful to the 1,679 club members who took the Inclusion Survey.

The response was greater than we imagined, outpacing typical club survey responses threefold per staff estimates. The survey results contained more than 2,800 written responses.

The first question on the survey asked, “What is your race?” We used the same options as the United States Census, and 99 percent of those taking the survey completed this question. The racial makeup of those who took the survey was 16 percent BIPOC and 84 percent white or Caucasian. Because MAC has never recorded the racial composition of its membership, this is the best approximation currently available.

The second question asked, “Do you feel the MAC is sufficiently diverse?” and the third asked “Would you like to participate in future DEI events?” Nearly everyone answered question No. 2, with two-thirds of respondents indicating that MAC is not sufficiently diverse. Given that we did not clearly define what we mean by “diverse,” there was some consternation about this question embedded in the comments in response to some of the questions.

Of those who responded, 50 percent indicated they would be interested in future DEI events. Current efforts, such as the Campaign for Inclusion panel discussions sponsored jointly by the DAC and Multnomah Athletic Foundation, have been well received as one way to engage and inform members.

The fourth question asked, “Do you believe that it is important for there to be a diverse and inclusive MAC community?” and 99 percent of respondents answered this question. Of those, 87 percent believe this to be important. Since the survey did not capture demographic information, such as age, gender or length of membership, we are not able to determine any pattern of support or concern in a particular demographic group.

It seems clear that there is much work to be done around DEI and defining what it means for the MAC community. Our focus now turns to beginning to identify programs, policies and communications, and determining how they fit into the fabric of our club. We believe it is in our power to be leader, setting a precedent for other clubs like ours across the country.

As the DEI ad hoc committee continues its important work and identifies opportunities to further engage other committees and members, we are committed to transparency and continuing to keep members informed regarding our efforts. Remember to check next month’s Winged M for updates on what’s happening in the club regarding diversity, equity and inclusion.

MAC Scholar Athlete Gives Back T

he MAC Scholar Athlete (MACSA) program has been a tradition for more than 50 years. As is the case with any program with longevity, evolutions have happened along the way. As it stands today, it is a cohort of 29 young people from high schools across the Portland Metro Area.

The program is led by a joint committee of individuals from MAC and the Multnomah Athletic Foundation (MAF) who have developed its current purpose statement. Spencer Raymond, former MAC Scholar Athlete and current MACSA Committee member explains, “by defining a formal purpose statement, the committee is better suited to serve the students and make the experience of the program relevant and meaningful.”

Alumni Power Part of the program’s continued success is the alumni who realize the value of their experience and remain involved to this day.

Receiving the MAC Scholar Athlete award in 2004 as a 15-year-old sophomore golfer and soccer player at St. Mary’s Academy was a life-changing moment for Anna Friedhoff. She realized that one doesn’t have to be just a student or just an athlete. Excelling in both areas is possible. This awareness carried Friedhoff through playing Division I golf at Gonzaga University and studying law at University of Oregon. Her selection as a Scholar Athlete ignited her desire to find success in many aspects of her life, something she has demonstrated in her work as an attorney and shareholder at Stahancyk, Kent & Hook Portland, as a board member of the University Club board and South Portland Neighborhood Association, and as a Multnomah Athletic Foundation scholarship reader.

Looking back, she recognizes that being an athlete — the competition and working hard to be the best — helped prepare her to be a successful adult. “Golf is a solo sport, so there is no calling-in sick or having teammates back you up. The same thing goes professionally. You have to push and work hard to follow through.”

14 | The Wınged M |

APRIL 2021

Anna Friedhoff today and (opposite) as a high school golfer.

MAC Scholar Athlete Purpose Statement: The MAC Scholar Athlete Program accelerates the success of promising students by providing access to a community that enhances athletic performance, educational opportunities, and social connections.

Friedhoff believes, especially as a woman, that being competitive is a positive attribute. “When you are working with other people, especially in law, they want you to be tough, and resilient, and strong.” She learned these traits through sports. Her golf coach used to say, “It’s not about pictures, it’s about numbers.” It’s not about appearances or expensive equipment, it’s about your effort, showing up and following through. Friedhoff still plays golf, although she does not always shoot

her expected score in the 70s. She does, however, consider herself to be a good ringer when playing with friends and enjoys being on the course.

One of the perks of being a Scholar Athlete is a MAC membership during high school. Friedhoff has continued her club membership as an adult and feels very proud and special to have earned it through the scholarship program. She uses MAC’s facilities to run, walk and take spin classes.

She also loves the club’s social aspects.

CLUB NEWS

While Friedhoff says she will never be able to thank the foundation and the club enough for the scholarship and the opportunity to be a MAC Scholar Athlete, volunteering on a scholarship review team is a start. She is impressed by her teammates’ dedication, participation and active involvement. She admits that she is likely one of the toughest reviewers because she uses her 15-year-old scholarship-recipient self as a benchmark.

To learn more about the MAC Scholar Athlete program or to volunteer with the foundation on a scholarship review team, visit MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com.

The foundation is making a concerted effort to create a MACSA alumni networking group. Readers who are former MACSA or know a former MACSA are encouraged to reach out to info@ MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com.

The Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s focus on helping children lead active, involved lives is guided by the belief that athletics teaches life skills and builds character and confidence — to compete, to persevere, to give your all, and to be graceful in victory or defeat.

We believe participation in athletics can help youth better reach their full future potential by learning and working together.

We believe if individuals grow and prosper so will our community.

under one roof and consisting of Moe, Bunny, three Jubitz children, and three Lawrence children. Three of the six children were in high school at the time, and three were in grade school. Bunny had her hands full, but did a remarkably effective job of running the household while Moe spent most of his waking hours running and growing his business, Jubitz Truck Stop.

Bunny’s role in Anne’s life was significant.

Anne always regarded Bunny as one of her most influential mentors.

Growing up in Portland, Anne attended Raleigh Hills Elementary School, Beaverton High School and Catlin Gabel School. In 1961, she was one of two recipients of the Catlin Gabel school ring, which is awarded annually to the senior who best exemplifies the mission and values of the school.

Following her graduation from Catlin Gabel, Anne attended the University of Puget Sound and Colorado State University (CSU). She received a degree in occupational therapy from CSU in 1967.

In September of 1967, Anne married David Munro, to whom she was married for 53 years. They have two children, Laurie Munro Bird (Frank) and Sally Munro Williams (Gill), both of Portland, and two grandchildren, Aiden Williams, 19, and Claire Williams, 16.

As a teenager, Anne was a standout swimmer at Beaverton High School and the Multnomah Athletic Club. She continued to swim throughout her life. She also was an accomplished photographer and calligrapher and made greeting cards for many years.

Anne read her Bible every morning.

She was a longtime member of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral and served on its altar guild and as a lay eucharistic minister. She also served as a volunteer in the Kern critical care unit of Good Samaritan Hospital for many years. Her most noted qualities were gentleness, kindness, and the willingness to look for the good in everyone. The main focus of her life was her family. She was devoted to her husband, daughters,

sons-in-law, grandchildren, brothers, and extended family. She made a warm and comforting home for her husband and daughters. To this day, old friends of her daughters continue to say how much they enjoyed Anne and visiting the home she made. She was “Bebe” to her grandchildren, and she rarely missed any of their basketball or soccer games.

Anne loved the Oregon Coast and, in particular, the town of Manzanita. In the 1920s, her Jubitz grandparents built a vacation home in Manzanita, which remained in the family for almost 50 years. In 1967, David proposed to Anne in Manzanita.

During the 1980s, they owned their own Manzanita home. It was an ongoing family tradition for them to spend a week or so in early July vacationing in Manzanita with their daughters and their families.

Anne is survived by her husband; daughters; sons-in-law; and grandchildren; her two brothers, Monroe Albin “Al” Jubitz, Jr. (Nancy), and Frederick D. “Fred” Jubitz (Gail), both of Portland; her three step-siblings, David M. Lawrence, M.D. (Stephanie), of Geyserville, California, H. Abbott Lawrence (Christie) of Prescott, Arizona, and Anne Lawrence Gonzalez (Rene) of Willow, Alaska; and her beloved cousins; nieces and nephews; extended family; and many cherished friends.

A family burial service has been held at River View Cemetery. Because of COVID, a memorial service will be held at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral on a later date.

Jerome ‘Jerry’ Newmark Sept. 25, 1956-Jan. 8, 2021 Our dear Jerry passed away Jan. 8, 2021 after courageously battling the effects of a cancer diagnosis 41 years ago.

Jerry was born Sept. 25, 1956 to Jeanne and Herbert Newmark. Jerry attended Bridlemile Elementary School and Wilson High School. He graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in business and real estate in 1978. After college, Jerry worked as a manager for Benjamin Franklin Savings and Loan and then at 3M.

Jerry met the love of his life Barbara (Goffe) their sophomore year at U of O, and they married in 1981. They were together for 46 years, and their love surpassed all of the trials and tribulations that confronted them due to Jerry’s health challenges. They were blessed with two children, Chelsea and Adam. As a family they traveled and skied together each winter until it became too difficult.

Some of Jerry’s passions included playing soccer for the University of Oregon, cycling, running, being a member of Mount Hood Ski Patrol, volunteering for the Sunshine Division and coaching soccer for the Special Olympics.

Jerry lived his life with dignity, courage and optimism. He recently received a new diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) which he fought valiantly, with hope and without a word of complaint.

He had a special spirit, never asking “why me?” but accepted what was happening to him with bravery and determination. Jerry was a gentle soul and always worried about his loved ones more than himself. He was instantly loved by all who met him.

Jerry was a lifelong member of Congregation Beth Israel. Jerry is survived by his loving wife, Barbara; his children, Adam and Chelsea (Gilbert Coronado); grandchildren, Silas, Mateo, Anna, Erin and Brennan; his devoted mother, Jeanne; and siblings, Richard (Lizz), Miles (Barbara Gilbert), Janice and Phyllis.

Barbara and her family wish to thank the nurses and doctors at OHSU Knight Cancer Clinic. Their support and care for Jerry was unmatched. Also, thank you to Trilogy Home Care, and his caregiver Haley Vandervort, who showed Jerry compassionate and devoted care every day.

A private burial service was held Monday, Jan. 11, 2021, at Beth Israel cemetery.

In remembrance of Jerry, donations may be made to one of the following charities: OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, Jewish Family & Child Service, or the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol.

In Memoriam Leland ‘Bud’ Stanford Lewis

After retiring from the bureau in 1973, Bud joined ESCO Corp. where he was Corporate Manager of Security. He retired in 1982.

Aug. 8, 1920-Feb. 20, 2021 Leland “Bud” Stanford Lewis passed away Feb. 20, 2021 at 100, an age he was proud to attain. An inspiring, enthusiastic person who came to have the biggest smile, the heartiest laugh and the strongest hand shake, Bud was born Aug. 8, 1920 to Victor and Marie Lewis in Mayton, Alberta, Canada, the second of four children. In 1923, the family moved to Portland where he attended Parkrose and Gregory Heights elementary schools, and graduated from Benson High School in 1939.

While in high school, Bud joined the Oregon National Guard’s 41st Infantry Division. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the 41st, nicknamed the Sunset Division, was put on coastal patrol to guard against enemy attack. In April 1942, they were sent to Australia to support the war effort in the South Pacific. Bud was the munitions sergeant disbursing ammunition to combat troops. In doing so, he continuously lifted 112.5-pound crates of weapons, an activity that developed the strong grip he retained for his entire life.

Bud’s time on the Pacific Islands put him in contact with enemy fire, poisonous snakes, natives with spears, malaria, infectious hepatitis and heavy boxes of shoes dropped from a supply plane directly at him and fellow soldiers. “Think of it,” he said later, “we almost got killed by friendly fire shoes!” A second bout of malaria put him on a hospital ship back home.

He was discharged in September 1945.

He remained active in the 41st Infantry Division Association, and served 30 years with the Army Reserves retiring as a colonel in charge of the 364th Civil Affairs Brigade and overseeing 100 reserve officers.

Following his return from war, Bud married Janet Marilyn Spencer with whom he enjoyed a 67-year marriage of true love and devotion lasting until Janet’s death in 2013. Their romance began with two dates before Bud shipped out to war, and continued through correspondence. “She is so beautiful and lovely,” he told people.

APRIL 2021

Fitness was important to Bud and it shone in his athletic endeavors particularly at the Multnomah Athletic Club. For six years straight, from ages 68 to 74, he won the club’s decathlon competition for all age groups. Some of his records at the club still stand. He continued to compete and was part of a decathlon team at age 99. Today, the Multnomah Club presents numerous Bud Lewis awards honoring his efforts and supportive spirit. In addition to the decathlon, Bud was actively involved in the club’s Red Cross blood drive and the Multnomah Athletic Foundation.

She was also patient and understanding of Bud’s gregarious personality, often telling of him waving and stopping to chat with guests as they walked down the aisle at their wedding. Bud and Janet had two children, Doug and Diane.

Bud joined the Portland Police Bureau in 1945. Over the next 31 years, he was a patrol officer, director of the Safety Education Unit, and commander of the Sunshine Division, a position that captured his heart. After retirement, he became a board member and an active volunteer.

The Sunshine Division offers yearround emergency assistance throughout the Portland area. Each year, volunteers gather to pack food boxes for holiday distribution.

Over 57 years and 110 pack nights, Bud never missed one.

While with the Police Bureau, Bud served as the security officer for the Portland wrestling matches for 10 years.

At 6 feet 3 1/2 inches and dressed in his police blues, he was often a more imposing figure than the wrestlers, and nearly as well known. “It was all a study in psychology,” he said of those who participated and those who attended the matches. “Some people just needed an outlet.”

On many weekends and evenings during his Police Bureau days, Bud also gave driving lessons to hundreds of Portland teenagers.

In 2015, remembering his military years, Bud became involved in the efforts of the Astoria-based OBON Society to return Yosegaki Hinomaru, or Good Luck flags, that Japanese soldiers took to war. U.S. soldiers often took the flags as battlefield souvenirs. “I provided the ammunition that killed many of those folks,” Bud told CBS Sunday Morning. “That was my job and I couldn’t question it. This, however, is closure. You can’t hate forever.”

Ever looking forward, and recognizing the restrictions COVID imposed, Bud chose to celebrate his 100th year walking, with the help of a recently acquired walker, around Portland’s Duniway Park track to raise funds for the Sunshine Division. He walked every day from May 8 to his birthday on Aug. 8. Often accompanied by friends, athletes, police officers, local celebrities and people who heard about him in the news, he completed 250 laps and raised more than $125,000. Everyone who joined him benefited from his positive attitude, large smile and hearty laugh.

Bud Lewis ended his life as an inspiration and role model to many and a friend to all. In honoring him, his family suggests remembrances to the Sunshine Division (sunshinedivision.org). Survivors include children, Diane Lewis of Portland and Doug Lewis of Prescott, Ariz; nieces and nephews, Eric Lewis, Ingrid Lewis-Rocks, Nels Lewis, Linda Batty, Craig Hanneman; and many, many, many friends.

A memorializing event will take place at the Duniway Park track on Aug. 8.

Tributes to Bud: Members and Staff Share Memories “The man, the myth, the legend” —Cassie H. “I’ll never forget that Bud would tell people that he called me ‘Smiling Eyes.’ But it was his infectious smile that did it, and that we’ll all miss. His memory will be a blessing for so many of us.”

—Alison R. “A great inspirational guy who will be missed.”

—Sharon G. “He was and is a pillar of the Multnomah Club. I’d often see him in the Small Weight room or the Pub.” —Karen M. “There are so few human beings that leave such a profound impact and legacy of kindness. Bud was one of those who touched thousands and left such an impression on each of us. I met him almost six years ago at the pool. Quick to shake your hand, smile and give a hearty laugh, he was a cornerstone of the club. I’ll miss his waves and our chats in the halls but know our community is a better place for knowing him.”

—Jason A.

“I didn’t know him well, but he made me feel like I did. What a positive spirit! That positivity is something that he’s passed along to many, I’m certain.”

—Jon L. “Bud was a great man. I got to know him at the Sports Pub on Thursday nights after Balladeers practice. For several years he would be perched on his barstool and holding court. He always had a kind word for everyone and loved to engage in jovial conversation. I often wondered how he was as a young beat cop. My guess is that he was always an optimist in that role.

Here’s to you, Bud.” —Jim B. “Joyful. Compassionate. Active. Inspiring.

Bud Lewis brought out the best in me. He showed me what a life deeply lived looks like. He was a man who was deeply loved by so many. Bud’s smile, laugh, hugs and habit of arm wrestling me over the lunch bill will be forever in my heart. He was the kind of person I strive to be. It was an honor to work with him to create The Bud Award at the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. It will endure in his spirit and honor his legacy to enable others to get involved and to love life!”

—Lisa B.

Rob Torch: International Man of Diplomacy It doesn’t take a cartographer to know that the shortest path from Buffalo, New York, to Portland doesn’t run through London. But such was the circuitous route between the two for Rob Torch, the new President of MAC’s Board of Trustees.

Whether finding his forever home or helping to return the club to its status as an in-person social hub for members, he isn’t necessarily interested in taking the easiest way.

TIM GUNTHER

MAC’s new president brings broad perspective to bear on club business

Having held leadership roles throughout his life, from captain of basketball and soccer teams and student body treasurer in high school, to partner at the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin LLP, it isn’t surprising that he rose through the ranks of MAC’s system, becoming a board member in 2019.

Torch and his wife, Susan, actually joined MAC while U.K. residents, a strategy designed at the time to help them plant roots in the soil of Portland while their feet were still very much stomping the concrete of the Big Smoke.

“The minute I stepped out of the airplane, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. This is where I want to live.’ Just the smell, the air, was enough,” Torch says of his first Rose City visit in 1998. He and Susan had come to Portland to visit friends from Cornell Law School, where the Torches had met and begun dating some five years earlier.

They were on their way to London to live together, after getting married one year earlier.

“They took us out to the coast, to the cove at Short Sands in Oswald West State Park, which is still probably my favorite beach on the coast. We went up to Mount Hood, we did some hiking, we were in the Gorge for a little bit, we visited wine country. We just had an amazing week out here.”

Life had an extended layover planned for them, however, and the Torches spent the next 13 years residing in London, having two kids, Isabelle and Charlie, along the way. Over a number of visits to Oregon, one including his first introduction to MAC via their friends, Rob’s determination grew to exchange big city living with occasional trips to more rural environs for the reverse.

He wanted to call Portland home and visit bigger cities when the family needed some action, resulting in them applying for club nonresident status in 2008, which they’d convert to resident membership upon moving here in 2011.

“She said, ‘Hey Rob, you should think about volunteering for Budget and Finance Committee, given your corporate finance background.’ So, I said, ‘Yeah, sure. That’s great, happy to do that.’ That was my first foray into the committee system, about which previously I had known very little.”

By then, the Torch’s PDX anchor-couple compadres had moved on to Bainbridge, Washington, increasing Rob’s desire to find a community they could call their own here.

“The happy ending to the story is that Susan, despite initially being unsure as to whether Portland would really be the right place for us, might love it even more than I do – and I really, really love it here,” Rob says. “Our kids have been so happy in Portland, and MAC’s been a large part of it. Right off the bat, we met probably 10 different families at Ainsworth, where Isabelle finished third grade. Most of them were MAC members, as well. We’ve been at the club non-stop since we arrived here, all of us.”

Endings can often be new beginnings, and so it was with Rob’s career of service at MAC. He met former club president Darcy Henderson while showing his yard as part of a Portland garden tour, and she and her husband invited the Torches to dinner.

“I definitely have a very extroverted side. I enjoy talking to people and learning about them.” Torch says of his penchant for socializing and how that often leads him to leadership roles. “But then, there’s an introverted side too. At some point, I say, ‘You know what? I need to sit down, think things through, and try to figure out the best way to move forward, whether it’s a project or just bringing people together to work toward a common goal.”

Years of traveling, from studying abroad in Denmark to pursuing a post-graduate fellowship in Adelaide, Australia, had taught him to value disparate points of view. These skills have served him well at MAC, and he looks forward to continuing to apply them in the year to come.

Torch was initially drawn to the transactional nature of corporate law due to a childhood stutter and resulting lack of interest in litigation. While he still doesn’t love the idea of speaking in front of large groups of people, he was pleasantly surprised by his first Live Q&A as president of MAC. “I thought it was fun. It was nice to hear directly from members, outside of Sounding Boards, and to be able to have a conversation, even if it’s in front of 200-plus people online. What have we not been doing virtually recently?” he says, laughing. “As a board, we have to weigh a lot of different options and people’s views before forging ahead. I like to listen, and I like to keep things moving.”

Back and Better Than Ever

Presidents bond over shared challenges and goal of a brighter future

By Jake Ten Pas

I

n these uncertain times, continuity is key. MAC’s system of governance provides that, as first-year trustees march toward mantles of leadership, eventually becoming president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. Meanwhile, each year, a new class begins its journey.

This year, however, continuity takes a slightly different form, as the second British president in a row takes the throne. Maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement, given that president Rob Torch was born in Buffalo and only lived in England for a while, but that doesn’t stop him and former president William Lee from having a bit of fun with the conceit.

This year’s presidential Q&A took place entirely by Zoom, contrasting past years spent chatting over pints at the Leaky Roof, or at least across a table in 1891.

“Did you work with a voice coach, Rob? It seems like your accent is much less detectable than Will’s,” asks The Winged M’s representative. “Will has really leaned into his Britishness, whereas yours seems much less detectable?”

“I spent too much time in Buffalo,” Torch replies. “By the time we got over to England, we were in our early 30s. Our kids picked up the accent for a few years, but my wife and I did not.”

“What I’m hearing is that you’re ashamed of your British roots, Rob,” Lee jabs jokingly. “I understand.”

“I love The Arsenal!” Torch retorts, and Lee can’t help but agree. Both also find common ground in being mistaken for Hugh Grant occasionally, especially when traveling to or from England.

A good-natured debate about who holds the greater claim to lookalike status ensues.

If all of this seems lighthearted given the nature of the past year, both presidents view humor as a powerful coping mechanism, and do their best to exemplify positivity and a healthy sense of humility in serving the membership of MAC. They know that the conversation must turn to the challenges the club has faced over the past year, and the continuing collaboration that will make the next one better. Without further ado, Lee, who has come prepared with his own questions, gets down to the nitty-gritty.

William Lee: What are your board’s main goals for this year?

And have plans changed based on last year?

Rob Torch: With everything that went on last year, we’re trying to get back to some sense of stabilization and normalcy. We recently approved the 2021 budget, but we’ve moved to a much more agile approach. We’re doing a quarterly budget process now, which we need to continue to bed down.

28 | The Wınged M |

APRIL 2021

Our other big focus right now is member retention. With resignations happening at a much higher rate during a few months of 2020 when the club was either closed or at a significantly reduced level of being open, there’s a strong possibility that we deplete our 2020 Lottery waitlist more quickly than we otherwise had forecast.

We need therefore to continue to take steps to retain members, but we also need to be proactive in bringing more members onto the waitlist.

It’s all about getting the MAC community back and that’s made up of all our micro-communities. Whether it’s sports teams, recreational sports, or opening up the new Fitness Room, we want to get people back into the building. This will happen with member safety in the forefront of our minds, but it seems like mandates are trending in the right direction, which will enable the club to open up even more.

Other exciting developments include the Front Entry Project, which has been in the works for quite a while now. That’s part of an overall safety and security initiative at the club [MAC Access Program on pages 12-13], but it also represents an aesthetic improvement.

We started working on the Campus Master Plan last year, and then we just got thrown sideways. We’re hoping to make some good progress on the MAC campus of the future this year, and next, and that’s exciting.

WL: What’s the timeline on this Campus Master Plan in your mind now that the planning is starting? When can members expect to see actual change or development?

RT: I think by the end of this year, early next year, hopefully we have some very general plans as to what the possibilities are for some of the properties that we own just to the north of the current campus. We still need to do due diligence on what we can do with those properties.

WL: Whilst we’re talking about the MAC campus of the future, it’s worth mentioning that we’ve really revamped our current campus by opening the Fitness Room, and the work being done on the front entrance.

MAC isn’t historically known for being agile in the sense of moving quickly, but we did that in 2020. How do you see this continuing from a member-experience point of view into 2021 and beyond? What’s your hope for program services, engagement, etc.? What have we learned from adapting in 2020 that you hope to see more of?

Continued from page 28 RT: I wouldn’t say we’ve gone from a tanker ship to a speedboat overnight, but between the hard work of Charles Leverton, staff and members, we’ve all realized that we can adapt really quickly, see how things are going, and iterate. That will continue to serve us well this coming year and in the future. The pivot to virtual offerings was something that may have occurred over time anyway, but we were forced to do that with the club closure. I see that continuing to move forward. Charles has a lot of ideas, which the board supports, on continuing to find ways to get better feedback from members on everything from programming to the Fitness Room.

We can be much more responsive to members’ suggestions and comments going forward.

Jake Ten Pas: You said we haven’t gone from being a tanker to a speedboat. Is there a boat that you might use as a metaphor for where we’re at right now, Rob? WL: Catamaran, Rob? Tall ship?

RT: I’d say we’ve moved from the tanker to a schooner.

WL: One of the things that we accomplished this year with digital technology is moving an enormous amount of meetings, if not all, into the virtual realm.

JTP: How do you see meetings going forward? All in-person once mandates allow, all virtual for as long as possible, or some kind of hybrid approach? I think committee members have missed the in-person contact, but they’ve gained a lot in travel time.

RT: I see it most likely as being a hybrid. One of the nicest parts of being on a committee is seeing your friends, and it’s so nice to collaborate that way. With that said, we’d like to keep open the possibility for people who, whether they don’t feel comfortable meeting in-person or due to timing issues, decide that they would prefer to join virtually.

WL: MAC was known for a huge number of events in 2019, all of which had to be put on the back burner in 2020, at least in-person, large gatherings. How will we know, or what is your plan, for how we get back to that kind of thing? Is that something you foresee in 2021, or is that more likely 2022 at this point?

RT: I believe moving into Moderate Risk status allows us to start considering having smaller events again. Charles and the team are putting together plans, and figuring out what that means from a staffing perspective.

JTP: Are you more focused on getting new members in the door, getting current members back into the clubhouse, or do you have to do both at the same time?

RT: We’d like to do both. We’d like to retain our current members. With that said, it’s understandable if our more vulnerable members hesitate in coming back into the club. Hopefully, that continues to change and people become more and more comfortable as the vaccinations gets rolled out, and as transmission numbers decrease. We also want to continue to make ourselves a compelling choice for younger families. They use the club in different ways, and they usually use it a lot. We want to remain an attractive option for families who are looking for so many things that MAC offers: social opportunities, all the athletic offerings, the

sports teams and more. For a lot of young families, it’s such a special place to be.

JTP: Will, is there anything that you had to learn the hard way during your tenure as president that you can now give Rob advice on to make him more successful?

WL: Being transparent in a decision-making process brings members along. That was a big emphasis of last year. It doesn’t mean that we’re not making the decisions, but we’re letting members know what factors are at play when we’re making them.

It’s something we learned the hard way, because we had never been in a situation where we had to talk to members about dues.

I hope it’s something that we’ll always continue. We want to invite people in to understand how we make decisions. An amazing result of last year was the way we learned to communicate. That’s going to continue with the Live Q&As that Rob and Charles are doing. Those allow members to express their opinions through forums. We can take those into the decision-making process. That was something that we hadn’t really done before, and it was a big transformation last year.

JTP: Rob, are you feeling excited for the Q&As? Are you feeling a sense of trepidation?. What is your greatest hope of what will come out of those conversations?

RT: I might feel a little bit of trepidation, but I’m looking forward to hearing what people are interested in. I know dues and budget are included in there. Hopefully I’ll see some friendly faces and have a nice conversation with members.

JTP: Will, were there moments during the past year’s Q&As that were tough for you, or that exemplified the spirit of this community in a really pleasant exciting way?

WL: I came out of every single one of those feeling very energized, and mainly because I was able to directly answer questions that some people perhaps felt that we would not answer. Some of the questions were obviously very direct, and it was uncomfortable at times. But that itself just helped us understand what people were going through. We were all going through the unknown together in different aspects.

It was also energizing to be able to connect with people in a time when we weren’t allowed to connect face to face. By making a decision early on to focus on keeping our community together, it had a hugely beneficial effect on getting us through the uncertain nine to 10 months that 2020 threw at us.

JTP: One of my proudest moments as an employee of MAC has been the way that you and Charles handled the conversations around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. I was pleasantly surprised at every turn, how much we said, “We’re willing to be vulnerable, admit our mistakes, and try to have a conversation that will improve the situation.” How does DEI fit into the big picture of what the next year holds?

RT: I think that Will and the officers set a great stage for us to move forward on DEI initiatives. At last night’s board meeting, we had about a 30-minute conversation about how we continue that momentum. It was the first board meeting with the new board, and

WL: I’ve already registered. My name is going to be anonymous, and I cannot wait.

TIM GUNTHER

Continued from page 31 I’ve had a number of conversations with former MAC President Grant Yoshihara in the last couple of weeks, because he’s heading up the current DEI ad hoc committee.

There were a couple of months toward the end of last year, beginning of this year, where between new COVID mandates coming in, things slowed down a little bit. But Grant and the ad hoc committee are definitely making progress on the DEI front and getting things set for this year.

One of the things that I asked him and his team to do was to finalize the report from the Inclusion Survey that went out late last year.

Based on the board’s review of the preliminary results, there were more than 1,500 MAC members who responded, and about 85 percent felt that diversity within MAC was very important to them. That indicated membership support for the DEI efforts that started to be unveiled last year. [Additional survey results are shared on page 11.]

We’re going to make some good progress this year. I know it’s been quiet for a couple of months, but that’s not to say that we’ve taken our eye off the ball. Unfortunately, there have been a couple of other balls that have come into play that we had to knock back a little bit, but we are moving forward with that.

WL: Members need to hear what you just described, which is that there’s overwhelming support in the club for our efforts. Then, it becomes a question of this committee working to turn those efforts into actions. It’s very exciting because what it comes down to is, it’s all about inclusion. It’s just making people feel welcome, feel that they want to be a part of this community.

JTP: Aside from what you just described, why has it never been a better time to be a MAC member? What is most exciting about the future?

RT: I’m just getting back to the club, seeing people, being with friends, and doing all the things that we used to always do. I mean, we were there every single day and, usually, multiple times a day.

Our kids would be running around doing different activities, sports, swimming, you name it. Then, we’d go to the pub. After a year plus of being in semi-lockdown, MAC is all about the community and being with people.

Once people feel comfortable enough getting there, it’s just such a magnet for that type of social interaction. It’s obvious why people would want to be there. On top of that, we have even more offerings than we ever had in the past, between the virtual offerings and super creative in-person events. Those are going to continue. I know a lot of people are sick of virtual, but virtual definitely has a place in the overall suite of offerings.

WL: Previous to 2020, we would face a lot of criticism that we didn’t have the popular classes at the most accessible times.

Through being forced to find ways to listen and communicate with our membership, even under the mandates and restrictions, we adapted our offerings to suit our members.

Now more than ever, we will be the club that can do that.

Basically, if you want to join an athletic club for a certain specific kind of workout, like Orange Theory or whatever, that’s what you get.

We’re going to target our offerings to that person who wants that boutique experience, and at MAC, there’s so much more, as well.

It sat mostly empty for huge chunks of time between the morning and night spin classes. Now, it’s been transformed into a flexible space that people can use for group exercise or spinning or however they want to, putting it to use all day long.

PENDING • Greenbriar

COVID has been the necessity that was the mother of invention, and we’ve invented new ways to maximize MAC because of it. The club’s going to be stronger now because of that.

JTP: Will, we talked last year about what you hoped your legacy would be.

I wonder if you feel like you’ve accomplished what you hoped to? Rob, what might your legacy be as president?

WL: As far as my legacy, I don’t feel it’s mine. It’s our team that was presented with unprecedented challenges. We managed to turn them into opportunities. We didn’t do it on day one because we didn’t know how many we would face, but as we got into our groove, we managed to make the club better. We did it as a team under incredible, critically difficult circumstances, and I think that coming out of it healthier and more close-knit as a community would be a nice legacy from last year.

RT: We’re at a stage now where, due to the efforts of last year, the train really is on the track and it’s starting to pick up speed. I hope our legacy — not just MAC, but Portland, the region, and the country — is coming out of this stronger. I don’t want to say we’re “getting back to normal” again. It’s going to be better than normal.

It’s been rebuilt and it’s better than it ever was before. People are going to be thankful that they can return to their lives, enjoy the community, and take advantage of all the offerings that have improved during this past year, despite all the potential roadblocks that we encountered.

They say that an immune system is always strongest right after you defeat the previous illness, right? You actually bounce back better than you were before. I think of that as a metaphor for MAC. WM

WELLNESS

A World of Wellness at MAC

Club creates chances to grow in body, mind and spirit for all members

By Jake Ten Pas

L

ife is full of curveballs, and nobody is immune. Even mindfulness experts sometimes find themselves at a loss for the best way to think through new challenges.

Consider MAC Health & Wellness Coach Katarina Simko, who also is an experienced yoga instructor. She has been practicing mindfulness and mental training for more than 10 years, training her brain to overcome anxiety and mental and physical challenges.

No matter how hard an expectant mother trains, though, can they ever really be ready for parenthood?

Simko recently gave birth to her first child, Owen, and is finding her two usual refuges, sleep and meditation, challenging to access.

“Those were the first two things to go out the window!” she says. “I had to pull out all of my mental-coping tricks and they didn’t always work. Life is like that. You feel like you’re getting into a groove, and then something happens, whether it’s having a baby or you get into an accident or another change occurs, good or bad, and you’ve got to find a way to be resilient. To me, that’s what wellness, in general, is all about. How can you be resilient and flexible in your life even among all of the changes.”

Fortunately, Simko has a community of people who’ve helped her to adapt, much like MAC’s Wellness program can be there for members to help them face whatever comes their way. Over the past year, Wellness has had to continue to respond to the changing mandates of COVID, club closures, and resulting limitations of services.

44 | The Wınged M |

APRIL 2021

From massage and physical therapy to the healthy dining options overseen by the club’s registered dietitian and culinary team, Wellness has stayed agile. The program has gone virtual when necessary and prioritized safety and sanitizing for in-person services. As the club has reopened and increased capacity, they’ve been hard at work responding to member needs.

Just the Right Touch

Bugs Bunny often lamented taking a wrong turn at Albuquerque, but for Susannah Skye, owning a coffee shop there helped bring to the fore interpersonal skills that continue to serve her well as MAC’s lead Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT).

“One thing I learned about myself is that I’m really good at remembering people and all the little details that are so important, like exactly how they liked their coffee. In the context of massage, I remember that issue they have with their left calf, that they have tinnitus, or the story they told me about their three-year-old. I just remember it all.”

TIM GUNTHER

WELLNESS

Katarina, Jay and Susannah are ready to help.

Allowing a skilled professional such as Skye access to potentially tender areas of the human body requires a level of trust somewhat deeper than ordering a latte, however. This truth has been made even more evident by COVID, which created a climate not exactly conducive to intimate human contact. When the call came in June, ahead of the club’s reopening in July, to update MAC’s practices to meet the most stringent of state and federal standards, she says she was ready, willing and able.

“I was like, ‘I got this!’,” she recalls.

Having her own private practice had prepared her to make MAC mandatecompliant. She was well-acquainted with state regulations and returned to the club ready to don a mask and apron, regularly disinfect with the help of MAC Housekeeping, run an air filter at all times, and put her clients at ease.

“We used to have 15 minutes between sessions, but now we have 30. This gives us time to disinfect surfaces and change over the room, and it also helps me feel less rushed and I can talk more to each client.

Slowing down a bit and having time for human connection is more valuable than ever right now.

“In terms of masks, I know a lot of people are afraid of laying down into the face cradle,” she offers as an example of how mandates can impact member experience. “I have found all kinds of videos on YouTube about how you can in-set a

pillowcase and then wrap it around, so it’s kind of like an extended mask. That way, people can take their mask off or down, and they feel a little more free to breathe.

“But sometimes we just take a moment to acknowledge the change. They can say, ‘I hate these things! I wish I didn’t have to wear this!’ They’re free to express themselves,” Skye says. She also points out that, by now, many of her clients have gotten themselves mentally to a place where they’re comfortable wearing masks, even while receiving a massage.

At the end of the day, making sure members are able to get the bodywork they need even more during times of stress is Skye’s first priority. “I’m fully vaccinated now, and really ready to start getting busy again,” she says. “I hope we can make members feel safe, and they can come back as soon as they’re ready. It’s been a rollercoaster of a year, for sure, but the upside is that we’ve been needed, and we feel so valued. I get to take great care of the people who come to see me, and that’s pretty special.

Getting Back to Life

If there’s a metaphor for the world’s collective desire right now, it might be MAC Physical Therapy veteran Jay Jensen miming crossing his hands behind his head and relaxing in a pool chair. Especially when you consider that he’s describing it via a standard phone call, with no video to convey his actions.

About a month ago, Jensen was getting ready to depart for vacation to celebrate his wife’s birthday, a trip that would take them both to the sunnier environs of Arizona, and the distinctly non-claustrophobic views of the Grand Canyon. If everyone on Earth simultaneously needed a vacation, this is that moment.

But discussing physical therapy by phone presents challenges, especially during an audio-only game of charades, and members might be playing their own guessing games when it comes to assessing what’s available at MAC and where.

While the club Communications team is working diligently to keep this community updated by website, email newsletter and, of course, articles in The Winged M, there’s no substitute for getting back to MAC and reorienting oneself with the club.

In doing so, such explorers will find a new feature of the Fit Zone, off the West Gym, in the form of Jensen’s physical therapy space being set up and ready to Continued on page 46

TIM GUNTHER

WELLNESS

Dietitian Tysen Christensen and Sous Chef Deanna Bascom Continued from page 45 welcome members back. “It’s an excellent location, and seeing the sun is awesome,” Jensen says. The physical therapist has moved locations five times since in as many years of working for MAC, and points out that, while he isn’t one to complain even when it’s warranted, his new location gives him little to be unhappy about.

“Having the ability to use the club’s many facilities for the benefit of my range of clients, it’s not that big of a deal where MAC puts me,” he says. “The most important thing is that people know where to find me when they need me. Hopefully, when somebody has an injury, the first thing they think of is, ‘I’m going up to PT at the MAC to be seen.’ It’s easy to get in, get an x-ray, or have me make a call on your behalf to help you get to the doctor or specialist who can best help you.”

Jensen recounts a recent experience where a member shooting hoops ruptured his Achilles Tendon. “He said, ‘It felt like someone threw a ball and hit my calf, but no ball hit me,’ which is almost verbatim what people say when they’ve ruptured their Achilles.” The injured member

46 | The Wınged M |

APRIL 2021

was planning on heading to the emergency room, where he might have sat for hours before being made as comfortable as possible and told to go home and rest up. Instead, Jensen saved him the trip, called a doctor on his behalf, and got him an appointment for surgery the very next day. “Members can always get ahold of me, and I can put them in touch with the right people in a fast way that allows them to get competent treatment as soon as possible,” Jensen says.

As previously alluded to, another big advantage of on-site physical therapy is having the whole of the club at his disposal.

Jensen explains that he sees members ranging in age from 12 to 95, and while their needs might vary greatly, MAC always has the right facilities to address them. “I can use the pool, the basketball or racquet courts, or the new Fitness Room, depending on the individual member’s interests, goals, and comfort levels. Likewise, athletes from all over MAC should feel comfortable coming to see me, whether their injuries happen on the Tennis Courts or in the Climbing Gym.” While Physical Therapy has been deemed an essential service practically

from the beginning of COVID, meaning there have been times when Jensen was one of the few folks practicing his craft in the building, he’s still excited to see larger numbers of folks returning. “I’m happy as a clam to be at MAC. It’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had in my life, and being able to be there for more patients again really helps me feel like I’m adding value.”

Healthier Menu Items Ahead

During times of crisis, people turn to comfort food. Whether it’s because they need emotional support from their dishes or don’t have the bandwidth to prioritize fresh vegetables or perishable proteins such as seafood, eating healthy can easily go by the wayside.

As a result, when the club consolidated all of its dining spaces into the reimagined Restaurant at MAC, it meant paring down the menu to the core cuisine members demanded most. Sous Chef Deanna Bascom and Registered Dietitian Tysen Continued on page 48

WELLNESS

Continued from page 46 Christensen had to take a fresh look at how to deliver to members the wellness menu they worked hard to develop over the past five years.

Bascom pitched-in in the kitchen, supporting Executive Chef Philippe Boulot and a streamlined culinary staff, while Christensen offered virtual Wellness Consultations and Fit in Five Sessions.

Both turned their collaboration to offering interactive healthy cooking classes online.

Now, with the Sports Pub and 1891 getting back to business, not to mention The Bistro reopening for spring, both are getting ready to put member wellness back on the front burner. Sadly, healthy hub Joe’s isn’t set to reopen in 2021, but the good news is that some MAC Wellness favorites from that menu are popping up in other locations, like the Sports Pub and the newly relocated Coffee Bar within.

As of the writing of this article, Bascom and Christensen were still working furiously to figure out exactly what those menus would look like, but say that popular items such as the tuna salad, wraps and Chinese chicken salad from Joe’s, are likely to make appearances. Similarly Sports Pub Wellness items like trout, street tacos and three-grain risotto all will return.

“It’s about getting back to what we’ve always done, creating more options for our members,” Christensen says. “I think Deanna does a really good job with marrying an ingredient and calorie-conscious sensibility with the types of dishes they want to eat.”

“With such a diverse membership, it’s hard to offer something for everyone, but we’ve managed to do that,” Bascom adds.

“Part of the premium club experience is that they have choices about what they can consume, whether it’s around athletic activities or in a social setting.”

For members looking to take their wellness beyond the level of simply choosing between menu items, Bascom and Christensen emphasize that they’re here to help. “If they have questions, whether it’s more about proportions or preparation techniques, we can both serve as points of contact. There’s an open communication between us two, so just approach whomever you’re most comfortable with,” Christensen says. She adds that March and April are often when people start thinking ahead to summer and getting in shape for swimsuit season, and that all members of the Wellness team are ready to help them approach whatever challenges they might face from a variety of angles.

“These days, it’s more collaborative. Athletics and Food & Beverage are working together to create a holistic experience,” Bascom concludes. “We’re all in this together, we’re all here for you, and we’ll get you the right answer that will help support you.”

Keeping the Club Connected

“Wellness has always been a part of MAC, even before we used that term, but there’s so much more we can do to bring the idea of integration of mind, body and spirit into people’s lives,” Simko says.

“Overall health is about your nutrition and physicality, but it’s also the community aspect.”

She adds that, when it comes to the allencompassing nature of Wellness, MAC is a one-stop shop. Where else can you go to get a workout, eat a fine meal, get a massage, hang out with your friends, and find engaging activities for every member of your family?

“Especially following the pandemic and quarantine, feeling connected to a community is a big deal.” Staff’s job, Simko says, is to mirror the connectivity of the larger

MAC community, and make sure that, no matter how members seek self-improvement, any entry point to MAC Wellness can lead them to other program services.

“We don’t want people to feel like there’s only one place they can go to ask Wellnessrelated questions,” she explains of the decision to eliminate the former physical Wellness Hub when building the new Fitness Room. Rather than a single destination, members can email wellness@themac. com, approach any member of the Wellness team, or even just ask a Fit Staff member to point them in the right direction.

“Everywhere members go, they are able to reach out for support,” Simko says, and that network is only growing. As Wellness continues to expand, the program is looking to draw on experts from other clubs and industry-leading companies. While in-person community is still the goal, many among MAC’s membership are likely more comfortable “Zooming” or attending an event on YouTube, than they’ve ever been before. Collaboration within this club and across the country will only expand the knowledge and perspective upon which MAC can draw.

That could mean leading panel discussions, planning presentations by plant-based athletes or finding instructors who are deep into disciplines not currently practiced at MAC. “Everybody has a different body, and everybody has a different lifestyle or different goals, so it’s great to offer variety.

“Maybe you’re going to continue to work from home and your fitness and wellness routines are going to look different.

You may need to start your morning differently. You may need to eat different foods.

You may need to work out at a different time. Maybe you’re sitting at a desk all day, whereas before you were walking around a building more often. Your life has changed.

What does a healthy new life look like?

We’ll help you figure that out.” WM

Why Choose Tubal Reversal?:

Success Rates:

IVF or Tubal Reversal?

In this world of highly successful In Vitro Fertilization cycles, many infertility physicians push IVF as the best way to achieve pregnancy after sterilization. But for many women, reversal of sterilization provides successful solution to restoring fertility without the costs and discomforts of IVF. Most sterilizations procedures are amenable to outpatient reversal at costs far lower than even a single IVF cycle.

Tubal reversal success rates vary from patient to patient, based on many difference characteristics. It also varies depending on how we define success.

60-70% of women undergoing reversal achieve pregnancy within 1 year of surgery.

90%+ achieve a successful reanastamosis (reconnection) of at least one fallopian tube.

WELLNESS

Maintaining Weight Loss During the pandemic, many people have found the number on their scale creeping up. Sure, maybe some were drinking, cooking or baking more, but I’ve had patients complain that they have gained weight even though they were watching their diet and doing some sort of daily exercise.

3. Recommend. No single diet will solve everyone’s weight-loss problems.

One person may need to do a liver detox, and another person may need support for thyroid function. I’ll combine all the best tools to address what’s holding you back from a healthy weight.

In fact, most people who lose weight gain it back, and the statistics aren’t encouraging.

A comprehensive review of 29 longterm weight-loss studies found that more than half of all weight loss is gained back within two years. By five years, more than 80 percent of lost weight is regained.

Avoid ultra-processed foods. They trick you into eating more! For example, most processed food does not contain whole grains and their low-fiber content does not satiate.

Even though there are a lot of ways to successfully lose weight, the real trick is keeping it off, so I want to talk about the important reason we regain weight. It is not due to a lack of willpower; it is because our metabolism is broken. By this I mean, our metabolism is idling instead of revving.

Here’s my approach when it comes to weight loss and weight management: 1. Test. If you have routine labs run that say everything is “normal,” I’d like to take a second look. Subtle patterns can provide clues into one’s metabolism. Plus, looking beyond routine tests can help shed light on what might be the root cause of a broken metabolism.

2. Assess. I’m going to look at what’s in your current diet (and what’s not) that might be keeping you stuck. I’m also going to look at other aspects of your life that might be interfering with weight loss — from stress to sleep issues to exposures to toxins or everyday endocrine-disrupting chemicals, to hormone imbalances.

Other recommendations to help maintain weight loss:

THIS IS THE PLACE TO SEE AND BE SEEN.

Avoid sugary foods. They cause insulin resistance and humans need insulin to bring glucose into our cells for energy.

Unfortunately, sugary foods are readily available, taste good, give you immediate gratification, and don’t require any prep work.

Avoid endocrine-disrupting chemicals. They mess with your metabolism.

Read labels and avoid packaged foods that have words you can’t pronounce, like bisphenol A. Clean your house with organic products and avoid the use of plastics.

Don’t sit all day. Put a timer on your phone, computer or watch and standup and move around every 45 mins. Try to incorporate a 10-minute stretch or 10 minutes of exercise or both. Not only will you be getting activity, but you’ll be getting a cognitive rest and you’ll be much more productive after.

If it sounds complicated, I’m here to help. Most people can’t figure out the nuances of weight loss alone. Send me questions, or check my website drlindseysnelson.com to book a weight loss/maintenance session.

Tri-Run Events Bring Members Together, Virtually Duathlon and MAC Mile encourage friendly competition Last month, eight MAC members participated in the first Spring Forward Duathlon, hosted by the Triathlon & Running Committee, as a replacement for the Indoor Triathlon typically held in March.

Participants completed a 10-kilometer bike ride followed by a 2-mile run. There were options to compete at home, virtually, or using a station set up in the MAC Outdoor Fitness Zone.

The fastest woman was Amy Henderson, who completed the 10 km bike in 14:40 and the 2-mile run in 12:58. The fastest man, David Harding, finished the bike leg in 21:07 and the run in 17:55.

The committee’s next event is the MAC Mile, which will be virtual for a second year.

In 2020, the event saw a competitive field of 20 athletes and two relay teams. Runners can submit their 1-mile times between May 8 and 23. Look for more information on the Tri-Run page at themac.com.

Historically, Aquatics has been one of the club’s largest staff groups, but COVID hit the program especially hard. As of midMarch, instead of 50 individual lifeguards, we had 10. In the best of times, MAC can run its activities and programs with 30 staff members, so the gap is sizeable. But there is something we can all do to help get Aquatics back to its former self! If you have friends or family (as long as they are not current members) looking for full- or parttime work, MAC Aquatics is hiring! You don’t have to have an active certification or even any pool experience, MAC trains new staff from day one.

Coaches Corner: Improving Movement and Court Coverage Many tennis players are looking for any small edge to get ahead of opponents and improve their game. Commonly, time is spent on developing bigger and harder groundstrokes, improved serving accuracy, or developing more comfort coming to or being at the net. These are good goals and will aid in development, but all are missing one key factor … if one does not get to the ball, one cannot hit the ball.

Often overlooked, but vital to the game, is players’ movement about the tennis court. Most players have come up against an opponent who puts every ball back in the court no matter how well it is struck.

They never hit a winner, but they don’t make unforced errors either. These players have figured out how to use movement and court coverage as a weapon by just being consistent. Remember, every ball received requires efficient movement to intercept and return effectively.

For players who have never given movement training a second thought, it is important to remember speed, reaction time, agility and stamina are just a few of the aspects every athlete can improve to perform better.

Here are a few things to try to achieve better court mobility: 1. Run for everything. To get better, players must try. Pathways in the brain are connected just by trying for balls seemingly out of reach. Over time, reactions will become quicker and speed to the ball will become faster.

2. Expect the ball to come back. How often has a player hit a great shot, stood there to admired it only to realize too late the balls is coming back. Being caught unaware is a sure way to look slow on the court.

3. Maintain intensity. Once the ball is in play there should be a rhythm to a player’s movement. Think strike, dance (to recovery position), split step and move to the ball. A body at rest tends to stay at rest.

There is no resting during a tennis point!

Diana Almy has her eye on the ball.

4. Double bounces. Make them a thing of the past, even in warm up. There is no switch to turn off and on. Avoiding double bounces is a habit all players should form.

Often players will surprise themselves by getting a racquet on the ball, and who knows, maybe the opponent misses the next ball.

5. Flexibility. A more flexible muscle can stretch longer and recoil faster with a reduced chance for injury. Time spent improving muscle flexibility will both help in tracking down balls and help prevent injuries.

6. Stamina. Often players with superior conditioning will prevail in long, physical matches. The mental toughness developed by training can drive a player to try for one more ball. There is an old saying, “The better shape you are in physically, the better shape you are in mentally.” Think of it as a two-for-one deal!

7. Reaction time. The faster a player is able to determine where a ball is going and the appropriate path to cut it off, the faster they will get to the ball. Split seconds can make or break a shot; an extra few hundredths of a second is a long time in tennis-speak.

8. Power. Players with a more forceful first step are “out of the gate” faster than players exerting less force.

Developing better movement for on-court play is not an easy undertaking, and MAC coaches are here to help. Players determined to see improvement need to realize it is an equation involving time, effort and discipline. Like any new tennis skill, the effort is only realized after long hours, then and only then will the sweet words, “That was a great get!” play in your ears.

—Paul Reber

Tennis Open Play/River Night River Nights, the pandemic version of Open Play, is starting in April. Men will play 5-7 p.m. or 7-8:45 p.m. Monday, and women will have the same session times on Thursday. More information will be shared via email and on the Tennis page at themac.com.

Pickleball Returns to the Main Gym at Last On Feb. 1, MAC’s Main Gym reopened and indoor pickleball play resumed after 10½ months. “We have been playing outside this winter, often during a light drizzle with gloves, hats and rain gear, so it’s great to be able to get back to the dry indoors,” says Mark Jansa. “And it feels very safe from a COVID standpoint, given the large area and the world-class ventilation system.” In the beginning, only six people were permitted in the entire Main Gym area. Staff set up two nets for singles play, leaving space for two other people to reserve basketball nets at the other end of the gym. Eventually, by mid-month, doubles play was OKed, so set up went down to one net.

“Only four people playing in the Main Gym makes it feel quite cavernous, but also safe. Masks are distracting, but necessary, for now, and it’s just so nice to be back inside MAC,” remarks Nancy Hinnen, who had played outdoors for most of the winter in chilly Central Oregon. Jeff Malzahn, who has been a regular on the court for the past few years, observes that “it’s great to be playing again, but I miss the large group of people I would see on a regular basis.” That sentiment is echoed by Dave Davidson: “I

look forward to the day when we can have more courts and the social interaction that makes playing doubles so much fun.”

“It’s such a good feeling to be back inside and playing pickleball again with friends,” affirms Mike Monroe, another member of the Pickleball Action Group (PAG), which has been working to promote and grow pickleball at MAC. Greater accessibility to the sport at the club is thanks in large part to the tireless leadership of Hank Marcus,

whose help with organization, equipment and navigating the many demands on the Main Gym, has been invaluable to growing the sport within the club.

The PAG believes that pickleball can be a sport for all members, competitive and recreational alike. It’s a fantastic way to meet other MAC members. As the club continues to allow more people in the gym, stay tuned for more information about open play and beginners’ clinics.

Stay in the Loop with Handball Despite a global pandemic, the spirit and enthusiasm around keeping handball alive and well is noteworthy and impressive.

Nationally Over the past year, the United States Handball Association (USHA) has been actively communicating with players around the country. However, due to strict COVID safety guidelines, the news has often not been good. Cancelled major tournaments included the 2020 National Junior Four-Wall Championships, the 2020 National Collegiates, the 2020 Nationals and the Pro Stops. A bright spot: Some one- and three-wall tournaments were played outside.

Looking ahead, the 2021 Collegiates are tentatively scheduled for April and the Four-Wall Nationals, scheduled to be played at MAC, may be held in late July.

The location and dates of Masters events are still up in the air.

Around the State The following 2021 tournaments have yet to be scheduled: the Boxer Invitational,

Oregon State Championships, Pacific Northwest Regionals, Eugene Fun Doubles, the Irv Alten Holiday Classic and the Hood River Invitational. The Portland Classic is scheduled for Oct. 22-24. There is optimism that other state tournaments will also happen this year.

Locally A pandemic, rain and snow didn’t keep MAC Handball players from the courts this winter — tennis courts, that is. Thanks to MAC Tennis organizer Sean Carney, a group of handball players took up new racquets two to three time a week this winter. Bob Evenson, who has chaired MAC’s annual Super Bowl Handball Tournament for many years, decided to keep the tradition going with a Super Bowl Tennis Tournament. The morning of Super Bowl Sunday, 12 players showed up at courts in Beaverton. The first strokes (squeegees and brooms) were used to get the water off the courts. This took an hour, and then play started! After the tournament, participants enjoyed food and libations, and got home in time for kickoff.

Handballers try a new court.

Despite shutdowns and cold weather, one-wall handball continues year-round in Portland. Players are meeting at various times at both Roseway Heights School and Marysville Elementary School. Contact David McGarry at davidamcgarry@gmail. com for more information.

Presently, eight MAC courts are open for singles handball. Masks must be worn.

Reservations can be made at themac. com or by contacting At Your Service, 503-517-7235.

Member Numbers: Walk Across America Mileage Walk Across America is a national program that allows members to create annual mileage goals, with endof-year rewards. The idea is to set a mileage goal that is reasonable, attainable, challenging and motivating.

MAC members may join at any time.

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, 2020 and 2019, and the 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.

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.”

APRIL 2021

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.

Accounts receivable consist primarily of unpaid member dues and other fees. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by management based on historical charge-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 and investment income The Club carries investments in marketable mutual funds, which comprise its entire investment portfolio, on the consolidated balance sheets at their readily determinable fair values based on quotations from national securities exchanges.

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 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 during the year ended December 31, 2019 and concluded the application had a material effect that required a retrospective adjustment. The Club recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet of net assets at December 31, 2019. continued on page 70

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, 2020 and 2019, the Club recognized no interest or penalties and had no material uncertain tax positions.

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.

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 issued accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for non-public companies for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements. The Club is currently assessing the potential impact on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Subsequent events Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the consolidated balance sheets 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 sheets, 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 sheets but arose after the consolidated balance sheets date and before the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

The Club has evaluated subsequent events through February 25, 2021, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

This amount could be reduced or eliminated if needed to fund operations with Board approval.

In addition, the Club has $38,043,344 and $33,536,320 in long-term investments, designated by the Board, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which could be released for general expenditure if needed with Board approval. continued on page 72

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:

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.

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, and represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

The statements of activities include provisions for taxes on unrelated business income as follows as of December 31, 2020:

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, 2020 and 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.

As of December 31, 2020 and 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, 2020 and 2019. There were no changes in valuation methodologies or assumptions during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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, 2020 and 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.

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 year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $679,295 and $1,005,948, 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.

Note 9 – Risks and Uncertainties In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. The related adverse public health developments, including orders to shelter-in-place, travel restrictions and mandated business closures, have adversely affected workforces, organizations, their customers, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to increased market volatility and disruptions in normal business operations, including the Club’s operations.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Club has faced various closures, reduced membership rates, and significant impacts to revenue and expenses throughout the year as they are operating under the regulations issued by the State of Oregon. The Club has significant cash and cash equivalents and investments on hand, as described in Note 2, for the Club’s liquidity and availability position.

The Club anticipates a short-term impact to its business operations and is currently unable to estimate the impact the coronavirus will have on its consolidated financial statements. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts the Club’s financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF MULTNOMAH ATHLETIC CLUB RELATING PRIMARILY TO NEW PATHS TO MEMBERSHIP AND STREAMLINING THE CURRENT MEMBERSHIP ONBOARDING PROCESSES February 26, 2021 The Club’s existing Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) are presently amended through November 11, 2020. The purpose of these proposed amendments to the Bylaws are two-fold: (i) to permit a third path to membership by allowing Membership Committee directly to recommend prospective members to the Board of Trustees under one or more new policies developed and/or adopted by Membership Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees (such amendment to provide more flexibility in adding prospective members to the Club’s membership waitlist, which is decreasing faster than anticipated due to member resignations running at a much higher rate than normal because of the COVID-19 pandemic); and (ii) to streamline the new member onboarding process by allowing for an electronic link to the list of prospective new members to be provided to current members for their review (rather than requiring a hardcopy of such names to be included within monthly billing statements) and by shortening the time period for members’ review of the prospective member list from 30 to 15 days.

Accordingly, Section 2 of the Bylaws relating to Members and Memberships is proposed (as amended) to read as shown below.

Pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Bylaws, an invitation is hereby made to MAC members to comment on this proposed amendment withing 90 days of such amendment being posting on the Club’s website and bulletin board.

Please direct any comments to board@themac.com.

2. Members and Memberships.

2.1. Membership Classes. The Club has the following membership classes: Individual Resident; Individual Nonresident; Family; Nonresident Family; Junior; Intermediate; Athletic; Social; and Courtesy. The Board from time to time may establish, change, or abolish membership classes or categories within membership classes. For the purposes of these Bylaws, the rights of an Individual Resident shall apply equally to the elected adult member(s) of a Family membership and the rights of an Individual Nonresident shall apply equally to the elected adult member(s) of a Nonresident Family membership.

2.2. Admission of Members.

2.2.1. Admission of members is under these Bylaws and under policies, procedures, and rules established from time to time by the Board. Only the Board may approve membership in the Club.

2.2.2. Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, recommendation for membership may be presented only by an Individual Resident or Individual Nonresident member who, at the time of presenting the recommendation, has been a member without suspension for the immediately preceding year, who has known the nominee well for at least three years or is the applicant’s spouse as recognized under Oregon law, and who continues as a member without suspension until the Board has extended an invitation for membership to the applicant. Trustees may not propose an applicant or be a reference.

2.2.3. Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, recommendation for membership through the Diversity Admissions Program may be presented only by an Individual Resident or Individual Nonresident member who, at the time of presenting the recommendation, has been a member without suspension for the immediately preceding year, and who continues as a member without suspension until the Board has extended an invitation for membership to the applicant. Trustees may not propose an applicant or be a reference.

2.2.4. Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, recommendation for membership may be presented by the Membership Committee (described below) under policies, procedures and rules approved by the Board.

2.2.5. The Membership Committee (described below) must review applications for membership and recommend action to the Board. If the Membership Committee recommends approval of an application, the Club

74 | The Wınged M |

APRIL 2021

must post a notice on the Club website and bulletin board with the name of the applicant, the names of those proposing and seconding, and the date of the application. The Club must also enclose or attach the names of all applicants with the monthly statements mailed or emailed.

2.2.6. The Board may not take action on an application until the applicant’s name has been posted for at least 1530 days. The Board must then review and vote on the application. Two adverse votes reject an application. On the request of any Trustee within 65 days of rejection of an application, the Board must vote a second time.

2.3. Honorary Members. Honorary membership is a category of Individual Resident membership. An Honorary membership is the highest tribute from the Club to an individual for unusual and distinguished service rendered to the Club. It may be granted to any individual, member or nonmember, other than a past Club President, only upon unanimous vote of all Trustees. Only one Honorary membership may be granted in any one year.

Honorary membership is for life, but subject to resignation, suspension, and termination. Honorary membership entitles the Honorary member to all privileges and rights of membership of the Club and exempts the member from any obligation to pay dues.

2.4. Admission of Athletic and Social Members. Any member, including a Trustee, may propose a person for Athletic or Social membership. The Board will adopt policies, procedures, and rules for review and action on applications for such memberships.

2.5. Members’ Rights and Obligations.

2.5.1. All members have the same rights and obligations except as set forth in law, the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or any policies, or rules approved by the Board.

2.5.2. Members have the following rights, limitations, and obligations: 2.5.2.1. Voting. Except as provided otherwise by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, only Individual Resident members may vote.

2.5.2.2. Dissolution. Only Individual Resident and Individual Nonresident members are entitled to dissolution rights as prescribed by the Club’s Articles of Incorporation.

2.5.2.3. Redemption. No member may redeem a membership.

2.5.2.4. Transfers. No member may voluntarily or involuntarily pledge, encumber, or transfer a membership or any right arising therefrom.

2.5.3. Except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board must establish the member fees, assessments, and dues.

2.5.4. A statement of account must be mailed, emailed, or otherwise provided to each member on or about the first day of each month. All member indebtedness to the Club is due on the 25th day of that month. A two percent late fee will be levied on all account balances 30 days or older.

Members are subject to delinquency procedures if the account is not paid by the 10th day of the following month. Members may be suspended or terminated because of delinquent accounts.

2.6. Resignation, Suspension, and Termination.

2.6.1. A member may resign. Resignation must be in writing. Resignation does not relieve the member from obligations to the Club incurred before resignation.

2.6.2. An Individual Resident, Individual Nonresident, Intermediate, or Junior member may not be expelled, suspended, or terminated except under procedures which are fair, reasonable, and carried out in good faith.

Separate procedures apply for discipline, suspension, and termination of all other membership classes. From time to time, the Board may adopt rules for such procedures. Members may be suspended or terminated without hearing because of account delinquency. All members are subject to immediate but temporary administrative suspension by the General Manager in exceptional circumstances.

2.7. Retiring Officers. A lifetime single member dues exclusion will be granted to the past President upon leaving office after serving a full term.

The Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary, upon leaving office after serving a full term, will be granted Preferred Status as defined in the Club Rules, and pay dues established for that category.

Marka Crittenden, M.D., Ph.D. Recipient, Michael Kelley Endowed Chair for Cancer Research; Associate member and director, Translational Radiation Research Robert W. Franz Cancer Research Center; Earle A. Chiles Research Institute at Providence Cancer Institute; Radiation oncologist, The Oregon Clinic

The stronger and more supported our team is, the more we can achieve.

Tell us about yourself.

What brings you back to the lab every day?

I grew up in Portland and received my training at University of Oregon and Mayo Clinic. I like to knit, hike and spend time with my family and dogs.

My patients. We’re working to discover better therapies so they can have more time to achieve their dreams and goals.

What is one of your favorite experiences at Providence?

Why does philanthropy matter?

I enjoy having summer students join the labs.

It’s great to see them present their work at the end of the summer and hear the knowledge and expertise they’ve developed here.

Why did you choose Providence?

I appreciate the supportive environment and collegial, rather than competitive, atmosphere. We help each other succeed and celebrate everyone’s achievements.

What are you working on?

I’m excited about efforts in the lab to use radiation to engage a patient’s immune system. This increases the chance of remaining cancer free, and it decreases some of standard radiation’s toxicity and side effects.

I am deeply honored to receive the new Michael Kelley Endowed Chair for Cancer Research. It means we can hire more scientists, conduct more research and share our findings worldwide. Donor support allows us to move science rapidly from the lab to the clinic. The stronger and more supported our team is, the more we can achieve for our patients.

Hear how Providence researchers, like Dr. Crittenden, are working to finish cancer at our virtual event, Creating Hope.
