PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
America’s greatest athletic club is winding down summer activities over the next month. Whether you are returning from a summer vacation, getting ready to embark on one final adventure, or preparing the kids for school and fall sports, MAC is here for you.
Here are some key updates:
Ken Meyer PRESIDENT
Club Etiquette & Policies
Enrich lives, foster friendships, and build upon our traditions of excellence in athletic, social, and educational programs. That’s MAC’s mission statement — a clear vision captured in 17 words. To achieve this mission, we all need to honor and build upon the traditions that make this club special. One of those traditions is a strong sense of respect for all members, which starts with a simple concept: adhering to our common rules and policies.
This fall, MAC continues its club-wide campaign to educate members about our existing rules and expectations. Some guidelines are common courtesies, like not sitting on fitness equipment while looking at your phone, and allowing others to work in. Others relate to dress code and cell phone use in certain areas of the club. And some simply cover politeness and respect, like maintaining quiet conversations in areas like the whirlpool, sauna, or steam room. While these efforts apply to everyone, there is a particular focus on junior policies. For more details on junior expectations, see the insert on page 19.
This is a culture shift back to our roots, while also recognizing the club has appropriately expanded to a broader, more family-friendly community. Some of these adjustments may not be easy, but with everyone’s commitment and cooperation, they’re within reach. Respect and kindness rule.
Board Update
Recently, the board approved the committeerecommended reorganization of several fitness spaces to include a new specialized exercise studio and a floor-based stretching area. These are part of an ongoing commitment to member wellness and athletic space optimization. More details to come as these spaces take shape.
We’re also working to finalize a fiveyear strategic roadmap by the end of year, with further development of 2026 priorities taking place at our board retreat this month. Additionally, we’ve prioritized 18 key projects and assigned a board member to each as the primary point of contact, and they will work in conjunction with committees and staff partners.
Board of Trustees Nomination Process
The 2026 Board of Trustees nomination process is officially underway, and all resident members are invited to take part. Whether you’re interested in board service yourself or know someone who would be a great fit, this is a meaningful opportunity to engage in MAC’s governance.
The Nominating Committee is looking for candidates with strong club involvement — especially through MAC’s committees — as well as those with relevant experience in areas like executive leadership, nonprofit boards, law, finance, or real estate.
Members can complete a Trustee Interest Form or submit a Trustee Recommendation Form by Friday, Sept. 12. Learn more and access both forms on the 2026 Board of Trustees Nomination page on themac.com or by scanning the code below. Your participation helps ensure a thoughtful, inclusive, and member-driven selection process.
Thank you, and see you around America’s greatest athletic club!
Social Activities Kristi Stokes Submit a Trustee Nomination Form Today
The Board of Trustees continues to focus on optimizing member experience. This includes considering our event and committee subsidies, all club events, surveys, and MAC brand guidelines. Hearing from you, the members, through our surveys and Sounding Boards truly helps inform board decisions.

MANAGER’S COLUMN
ADerek Pratt
ENGAGEMENT DIRECTOR
s junior members head back to school later this month, we’re reminded of the familiar rhythm that shapes life at MAC each fall. It’s a season of reconnection — friends reunited, athletics in full swing, and family dinners at Joe’s or the soon-toreopen Sports Pub. These cycles of change, grounded in routines and traditions, are what bring our community together year after year.
With the return of school-year structure comes a great opportunity to reinforce shared expectations at the club. You’ll find a helpful guide on page 19 with reminders about club etiquette and policies. In addition, we’ve introduced new Junior Open Houses and fun quizzes designed to help younger members feel confident navigating the club.
Here are
a Few Key Reminders for Families:
• Juniors should remain in supervised areas or be accompanied by a parent, except when moving between activities.
• Communal areas such as hallways, stairs, and lounges are for children passing through only and should not be used for play or lingering.
• Juniors should pick up after themselves to help keep shared spaces clean and welcoming.
• Adult locker rooms are limited to adults only, except on weekends when children can accompany them.
• Junior locker rooms still require parent supervision for children under 14, except if the child is participating in a MAC competitive team practice or event.
While policies may evolve over time, our commitment to a respectful, shared environment remains the same. We encourage parents to talk with their kids about how to enjoy the club responsibly. And, when in doubt, our staff is always here to help.
Enhancing Member Services
MAC is committed to evolving alongside our members. One way we do that is through what we call “golden nuggets” — the little (or big) insights that help us better understand your preferences and expectations. Over the past year, thousands of members have contributed feedback through our expanded Member Survey and brief, one-question pulse surveys sent to checked-in members each quarter. This real-time input helps shape improvements across the club and keeps us aligned with what matters most to you.
Here’s to a season of fresh starts, full schedules, and meaningful connections. We look forward to seeing you around the club this fall.
Quick Check: Is Your Member Profile Up to Date?
Keeping your member profile current helps us serve you better. Scan the code or log into the MAC app or website, go to “My Profile,” and review your:
• Contact info
• Emergency contacts
• Preferences and interests
Updated profiles help the club plan programming, allocate resources, and stay aligned with member needs as part of our long-term strategy. For support, reach out to AYS at 503-517-7235 or atyourservice@themac.com.
FACILITY UPDATES
Summer Projects
With many members out and about enjoying their summer activities, it’s the perfect time to make enhancements to the club. The goal remains to keep as much of the club open as possible during these projects, creating minimal impact on your experience. With that mind, please be aware of the following facility enhancements:
50-meter & West Pools
The 50-meter and West Pools receive their annual facility maintenance. The 50-meter Pool is unavailable Aug. 5-18, while the West Pool is closed Aug. 19-Sept. 6. The Sun Deck Pool remains open during that time, so be sure to check the pool schedule on themac.com.
Massage Suite
Scheduled for mid-August, the Massage Suite undergoes a light remodel to create a more welcoming and tranquil experience. The entryway is being opened up to provide a more spacious area for members awaiting therapists. Inside, updated wall paneling, new paint, and refreshed décor will give the treatment rooms a softer, more relaxing vibe. There is limited massage availability during the work, which is expected to last approximately seven days.
Garage Elevators
Maintenance work on the Parking Structure’s interior and exterior elevators is scheduled for early this month. The elevators alternate closures during the project to ensure that at least one remains in service at all times. To support accessibility during the work, additional ADA parking will be available on the first floor of the garage.
Main & West Gyms
This month also brings MAC’s annual court resurfacing project, which will close the Main and West Gyms Aug. 23-30. This means The Cage, Fit Zone, and Indoor Track also are unavailable during the work. You may recall that the court resurfacing produces a strong aroma, so please pardon the smell as MAC improves this space. Work is expected to be conclude Sunday, Aug. 31.
Recovery Room
Starting in late August or early September, the Recovery Room will be reimagined into a specialized strength training space. Outfitted with new Keiser equipment, the area will serve senior members, those in rehabilitation, members with disabilities, and anyone seeking a more accessible strength experience. Meanwhile, the Keiser equipment currently located in the Fitness Room will be relocated to make way for a new dedicated stretching and recovery zone, providing easier access to stretching tables, NormaTec equipment, and specialized flooring.
These efforts are just a part of MAC’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the club for the entire community. Your patience is appreciated during the improvements, and stay informed of the latest project updates by visiting themac.com or checking the mobile app.
The Main and West Gyms are closed Aug. 23-30. This means The Cage, Fit Zone, and Indoor Track also are unavailable during the closure.
The 50-meter Pool is unavailable Aug. 5-18 for maintenance, and the West Pool is closed Aug. 19-Sept. 6.
LIFELONG ATHLETE
What Does It Mean to Be a Lifelong Athlete?
Whether it’s taking a daily walk, adding fresh vegetables to your meals, practicing breathing exercises, discovering effective stretches, or connecting over Mahjong, there are countless ways to embody the spirit of a “lifelong athlete.” MAC believes this journey starts exactly where you are today.
Our Lifelong Athlete initiative is focused on designing club spaces, programs, and experiences with intentionality and a holistic view of health, organized around these five facets:
Community
Creating a supportive environment where connections thrive through shared activities, events, and a genuine sense of belonging.
Movement
Offering diverse opportunities to regularly engage in activities that boost cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Nutrition
Fueling your health with delicious, balanced, and nutritious options while providing resources to enhance your eating habits both at the club and at home.
Mindset
Cultivating emotional well-being, resilience, and personal growth through activities that reduce stress, stimulate learning, and offer emotional support.
Recovery
Emphasizing the role rest and rejuvenation play in health, providing resources to recover effectively, reduce injuries, and extend your active lifestyle.
Lifelong Athlete Healthy Habits Survey Update
Thanks to everyone who took time to complete MAC’s first Lifelong Athlete Healthy Habits Survey in June. Here are a few callouts from the results.
MAC members feel highly supported in areas of Movement and Community:
• 90% of members are engaging in moderate-intensity physical activity 3-plus days a week.
• 87% of members are satisfied with their current health.
• 79% of members are satisfied with their social well-being.
However, there’s always room for additional improvement.
• 60% of members rarely or never incorporate mindfulness practices.
• 21% of members are never practicing injury prevention or recovery exercises.
These results now serve as the club-wide baseline — a starting point that informs where MAC is as a community. Stay tuned for more updates about how the club is shaping the future of your lifelong journey.
FACES OF MAC
Catching Members with Fly-Fishing
Members always have the power to enrich MAC’s programmatic offerings. It’s just a matter of having a passion and realizing others might share it or be interested in learning more about it. Sometimes enhancing the community just means casting a wider net — or perhaps a longer line.
“Hey, I’ve loved fly fishing almost my whole life, and I’d love to get people involved in that,” former Outdoor Activities Program Committee member Todd Stevenson recalls saying shortly after joining the club. “It’s a very open committee, open to different ideas and exploring outdoor activities. If you had an interest in those, Drew [White] was always like, ‘Yeah, let’s look into that.’”
With that, Stevenson developed and taught a Fly-Fishing 101 class for a few years, as well as organizing trips with the Portland Fly Shop on the Deschutes River and classes around spey casting and fly tying. With fellow committee member Wes Twigg, he worked to bring the International Fly Fishing Film Festival to the club. “I thought that was cool how we brought fly-fishing indoors, even
get to go to because they just don’t have time, money, or whatever.”
A former marine conservation biologist of 20 years, Stevenson now smiles and describes himself as an “opportunistic stay-at-home dad.” That leaves him time to travel, and he recently returned from a trip that contained all the aspects of the sport he attributes to its cinematic representation above.
“I just got back from the Owyhee River. That’s Eastern Oregon, but it’s mostly Idaho anglers that fish there. I just had a magical evening,” he says of his pitstop on the way back from fishing Henry’s Fork of the Snake River in Idaho.
“I feel blessed that I got to experience it. It was like 103 degrees outside with water temperatures in the 60s, awful in terms of air temperature, but the bugs were just hatching like crazy. There was a feeding frenzy of really large brown trout. I caught in the double digits, and every fish was 17- to 20-inches, which is big for a trout.”
Most of the time, Stevenson catches and releases, a practice he learned when fly-fishing for the first time as a 16-year-old living in Los Angeles. He and a friend found a bamboo fly rod under his buddy’s dad’s bed, and they decided to try their luck on the Big Tujunga Canyon stream. They mostly caught three-inch trout, which definitely didn’t get eaten.
“It was the process, the journey. It’s about getting into nature and experiencing it,” he says of the lesson he learned that day. “I think it was the hunt, too. I think a lot of people have that in their DNA, to chase after something. It’s definitely in my DNA. I was always taken by the complexity of river ecosystems.”
though we’re trying to get people outdoors, and doing a mix of both,” Stevenson says. He adds that for those who’ve never seen a fly-fishing film, it’s well worth their time to explore the micro-genre. “It’s adventure, beautiful landscapes and fish, kind of capturing the more philosophical aspect of fly-fishing in these crazy locations that most people don’t
Much like climbing, which practitioners describe as a series of problems to be solved, fly-fishing is an incredibly nuanced pursuit. To be successful, Stevenson says, anglers have to understand the water, wind, bugs, temperature and flow of the water, and so many other variables. “I think it was that multivariant environment that really captivated me at a pretty young age, and I went on to study fishery biology and aquatic entomology because of it.”
Stevenson believes that humanity has moved away from nature, and he delights in facilitating interactions with rivers, mountains, and the outdoors in general. “If I can get more people out there, with their hands in the dirt and water, I think it improves their

mindsets and humanity’s relationship with nature as a whole.”
These days, Stevenson isn’t as involved with MAC fly-fishing offerings as he was while a member of the committee, but that’s because he’s well set up to pursue them on his own. In his estimation, the purpose of club-hosted educational and recreational fly-fishing programming is to support the greatest number of members experiencing the sport at the entry level, and he looks forward to seeing
it continue to expand as the overall community progresses within the sport. He also anticipates more great opportunities being spawned by the OAP.
“It’s great that they do the three-year rotation for the committee members. The person behind me who filled my spot might have a completely different interest than I had, and something new will come up. So, MAC grows, and the offerings grow.”
Chet Orloff, who members may know from his leadership of the MAC History Book Group, is set to begin leading Walking & Hiking outings through the Outdoor department. Known for bringing relevant context to informative works of nonfiction, he promises to proffer similar background about local landmarks and natural areas in the months to come.
Check the Walking & Hiking calendar at themac.com for the opportunity to join him and other keen club perambulators on these educational athletic offerings.
Every MAC member has moments when they shine extra brightly. Know a member who’s won big in their respective sport, been honored for a professional accomplishment, or made a difference in their community? Suggest them to be featured in Faces of MAC by emailing wingedm@themac.com.

Sing Along with the MelloMacs
Everyone is welcome at MelloMacs, the club’s coed choir. Find out more at the group’s September Open Rehearsal.
Music and Beatles fans, take note: Sir Paul McCartney himself says, “I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity, to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.”
The joy of voices joined in song is at the heart of MelloMacs. Members can discover that for themselves in September at the group’s annual Open Rehearsal, where all voices and experience levels are welcome and no auditions are required. Founded in the early 1960s, MelloMacs has a legacy of inclusion and camaraderie — it’s a no-cut activity!
Practice and teamwork are central to the choir’s success, and everyone enjoys the weekly gatherings to run through the chosen songs, work on more challenging harmonies, and catch up with each other’s lives. Singers finish the session with renewed energy and creativity.
The group also considers itself very fortunate to have the leadership of renowned singer Marilyn Keller as choir director and award-winning musician Kit Taylor as accompanist.
Whether a soprano, alto, tenor or baritone, club members are invited to learn more by attending the September event. Light snacks and beverages are available.

IN MEMORIAM
William Henry Barton III
March 18, 1948-June 6, 2025
William Henry Barton III (Hank) died June 6, 2025, almost two years after being diagnosed with ALS. He was born March 18, 1948, in Bend, Oregon to William (Bill) & Mavis Barton. His family moved to Portland in 1961 where he attended Ainsworth for one year and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1966. He played both basketball and football at Lincoln before attending Portland State University where he continued his football career. Hank signed as a free agent with the New England Patriots, until a knee injury ended his dream, but his chase for peak physical health and wellness stayed with him throughout his life.
make the commute from Portland to his territory in Western Canada more “fun.” He was a car enthusiast throughout his life. Hank’s 1957 Willys Jeep Wagon was his “hobby” for over 40 years. In 2004, he bought a dental equipment manufacturing company, Forest Dental, where his daughter Erin-Kate and son Will joined him, eventually sharing ownership with Erin-Kate. Hank’s appreciation for the detail of fine cars resulted in his creation of “Designer Friendly” dental equipment. That, mixed with his passion for the art of selling, resulted in significant growth of his business. He sold the company in 2018 and retired.
He not only had a love for family and business, but he was known for sprinkling seeds of wisdom that came from the essence of Zen Buddhism . . . “the world according to Hank.” Ultimately, it was a mindset of loving awareness that anchored his belief system and interactions whether they be business or personal.

Hank is survived by his wife, Hollie, son Will, daughter Erin-Kate, son-in-law Erik Floberg and grandsons Ralph and Ernest. Sister, Dana Barton Cress (Scott) and her family. Brother, Steven Barton (SueAnn) and his family. Hank was a 50-year member of The Multnomah Athletic Club and a member of Portland Golf Club.

MAC attracts so many different kinds of people that it’s impressive how it feels like a second home to them all. Chalk this up to a variety of factors including shared interests, a common commitment to achievement, and some of the best cinnamon rolls in Portland.
Also, rules. They’re not as tasty as a pastry, but the mutual respect they represent is the icing on top of this club’s strong community. While enforcing the rules might seem like a thankless task, Member Services Manager Jordan Hutchisson and Manager on Duty Kanen McReynolds do so with smiles on their faces.
As a reminder of important club policies, The Winged M decided to rap with the staff who implement the rules and discover the ins and outs of keeping members safe and comfortable.
Jake Ten Pas: What would you say you do here? Kidding, but some members might not have the full picture of what your jobs entail. Care to elaborate?
Kanen McReynolds: As a manager on duty, I think the first responsibility is to respond to emergencies, medical or otherwise. Rule enforcement is another major aspect of what we do on a day-to-day basis, for juniors and adults, related to dress code, member disputes, or anything that needs an objective third party. It also ranges to locker support, unlocking doors, anything under the sun, really.
Jordan Hutchisson: I jokingly call myself the shenanigans czar. Anything silly that’s happening in the club, I have to know about it. But truly, we’re the informational hub of the club. I oversee the front desk, managers on duty, and the club concierge, so we’re fielding everyone as they’re coming in and out of the building and ensuring that their experience here aligns with the club rules and expectations of management and members.
JTP: Given that you work in hospitality, how do you enforce rules in a way that feels good to everybody involved?
JH: We’re coming from a place of education, and we’re also saying, “Hey, you can’t do this here, but here’s 12 other places you
can talk on your phone or eat this food.” Or, “This person’s on this machine, but here’s all of these other options.” Sometimes members just want to be heard, and we’re focused on listening to their needs. There’s also the luxury of choice — “If you really don’t like this rule, members can change things. Here’s the way that happens.”
JTP: What would you say is the most common rule that you have to enforce here?
JH: With juniors specifically, I think one of the biggest things is app sharing. You can’t share your MAC app with other people, and they can’t take screenshots of your QR code. It’s a private club.
MAC has plenty of options to keep kids and teens engaged and active, including Juniors Game Night.
The Mother & Son Lego Party is an excellent opportunity for moms and their juniors to attend a club event together, offering the chance to model great behavior.
KM: I think, broadly, just using spaces appropriately, whether that be the Reading Lounge, the Game Room, gyms, or the Sauna and Steam Room, where shaving is definitely not allowed.
JTP: The Steam Room isn’t intended to be a giant foam party?
JH: No. Or a yoga studio. None of the above.
JTP: Do you have any overall advice or pro-tips for juniors who are looking to avoid rules reminders?
JH: This is a place of fun, and we hope that juniors are coming in and enjoying themselves. But I would almost look at it like school, where there are certain areas where you have recess. If you’re in the gym, you can play. You just have to be mindful of the spaces that you’re in. It’s mostly the common sense of, “I’m in a place where people are eating. Should I be doing a flip down the stairs?”

JUNIOR
EDITION
Saturday, Aug. 16

Main Gym/Junior Lounge
Scan the code to book now.
Enjoy a night out on the town or relaxing at home while kids ages 7-11 have fun participating in recess games, jumping in bounce houses, crafting, swimming, and more.
Continued from page 19
JTP: What is the most obscure rule that either of you have ever had to enforce?
KM: Whether or not Dungeons & Dragons was allowed inside the game room.
JTP: Does it depend on how much live action role-playing is going on?
KM: It’s allowed, as long as you do not bring a sword.
JH: And you have to be over the age of 21 to be in the game room.
JTP: So, for juniors, is D&D allowed in the Junior Lounge or Fitness Room Ledge?
KM: Always.
JTP: What has been the most rewarding interaction that you’ve had with a junior member?
KM: Mine is teaching one how to dial a phone for the very first time. She had lost her parents and had no idea what the phone number was, so we solved that problem. We walked through the process and ended up dialing mom and dad six or seven times just so she could get the practice. Once they connected, she got excited and decided to call back a few more times to let them know that she had learned how to dial a phone.
JH: I appreciate how much the kids enjoy being here with their friends and the ownership that they take in experiences they’re having. Some juniors who have been told, “Hey, you can’t do this,” when it finally clicks, they tell their friends. I’ve overheard them saying, “Actually, we can’t do that. I already got in trouble for it. We can have fun doing something else.”

“Someday, this year’s Scholar Athletes may be in a position where they’re looking back on how they got started in this community, and it’ll resonate even more with them, the significance of it, because they will feel like they earned it,” Anna Friedhoff says.
No maybes about it, the 2004 MAC Scholar Athlete knows this to be true. Although for Friedhoff and cohort-mate Spencer Raymond, the immediate recognition they received was equally rewarding.
“One thing that makes the Scholar Athlete Program unique and really cool is there aren’t a lot of ways to get athletic or scholarly recognition outside your school. In other words, there’s something beyond what you think is your community,” Raymond says.
For Friedhoff, who applied after tearing a tab off a “Band Looking for Bass Player”-style poster advertising the MAC Scholar Athlete (MACSA) opportunity, the revelation that she’d won was a powerful reinforcement of her hard work. “I was very, very happy and grateful and proud of myself to get the award. Because I don’t think I would’ve ever become a MAC member otherwise. It really opened me up to a new part of the world and a new part of Portland.”
Now, 20-plus years later, both Friedhoff and Raymond are not only volunteering
Spencer Raymond celebrates the opening of the new Sun Deck Pool with his wife, Kristen Drzayich, and their son, Anan. Raymond coached skiing for many years, both at Lake Oswego High School and for MAC’s Ski Team.
their time with the Multnomah Athletic Foundation (MAF), reviewing applications by the latest batch of MACSA hopefuls, they’re also introducing their own children to the club community they earned their way into.
It’s a powerful reminder of the lasting impact the scholarship can have. First, students are honored as sophomores, setting the stage for the remainder of their time in high school, which will continue to impact their college prospects. Then, once they graduate, MAF provides $1,500 to offset educational expenses at any two- or four-year accredited institution. Lastly, the accompanying complimentary MAC membership
introduces them to facilities capable of laying the foundation for lifelong athleticism, as well as invaluable social and networking opportunities for themselves and future generations.
“To me, it was about access to the facility. As a water polo player, a pool-sport athlete, you can’t just jump into a pool anywhere and work out like you can with a lot of other sports and other types of venues,” says Raymond, who had already lettered in skiing in addition to water polo. “Access to three different pools was wild, and I think that’s what I took advantage of immediately in the off-season was coming to get in the water.”
Friedhoff says she used her membership all through high school and while playing golf at Gonzaga University. A partner at SKH Family Law since 2019 — before which she clerked for the firm after graduating with a law degree from University of Oregon — she’s now turning her attention to the next phase of life. It’s centered on her son, George.
“I think the next thing that I really need to check off is being a good mom. I see the MAC as a really big part of that, whether it’s through classes, camps, meetups, or any of that,” Friedhoff says. “I want the club to help shape my family, and I think I’ve accomplished a lot of what I set out to accomplish in terms of athletics and scholarship and studies, but now it’s about building my family, and the MAC has a really big part in that.”

Raymond graduated from Syracuse University and currently works as senior production coordinator for MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, via production company IMG. As someone who helps connect soccer fans around the world to their beloved sport, he looks forward to MAC connecting his son to a world of sports opportunities.
“I definitely hope that Anan picks a couple of sports and leans into them. What I don’t want him to do is specialize too early or too much in a single sport,” Raymond says. “I think the MAC is a great venue to explore different sports and different interests and test them out, whether they be a formal school sport or a club sport. That’s the biggest advantage of the MAC — opportunity to develop baseline athletic skills.”
About the Program
In its 50-plus-year history, the MAC Scholar Athlete program has evolved into a beloved tradition. Each year, 30 area high schools nominate a trio of sophomores, with the final recipient from each school chosen through an application process managed by the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. The program offers students more than access to world-class athletic facilities; it nurtures a sense of community and provides a supportive environment for personal growth and development. To learn more, see: MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com/scholarships/macsa.
Both former Scholar Athletes also continue to commit to the development of kids in the community by bringing their high standards and first-hand experience with the program to bear on the application process. Friedhoff references legendary long-distance runner Steve Prefontaine’s quote, “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.”
“I’m not an easy reviewer, but I love seeing multi-sport athletes. I love seeing a lot of community service,” she explains. “I see these 15-, 16-year-olds as just giving their best and showing their best to us, and that’s the gift. We receive that gift and identify it.”
“I recognize that the program has changed slightly, and it’s more about giving opportunity than rewarding past experience,” Raymond adds. “But to me, I see it as a recognition. You’ve worked your butt off academically and athletically, and we’re rewarding you with access to this place.”
As this year’s MAC Scholar Athletes walked the red carpet at the MAF Scholarship Event on June 11, perhaps they saw themselves through a new lens, one that considered the broader community’s recognition of their own accomplishments.
“That has just got to be an exhilarating experience for those kids,” Raymond speculates. He and Friedhoff have both served time on a variety of club committees, which presented professional development and networking opportunities that could be available to the scholarship’s recipients in the coming years. “Portland’s a small town, so you can always benefit by developing relationships via MAC committees.”
“If you are set up for success at a young age, I expect you to be successful,” Friedhoff says. “It’s not an unreachable goal. I know they can do it because I did it.”

SQUASH
Women Soar to New Heights
Following Butternut Tournament, Future of Women’s Squash Looks Bright
Anyone who happened to be at the squash courts on a Sunday morning this past year saw the phenomenal explosion of the women’s squash program at MAC. Head pro Werner Hergeth estimates participation is up 400% over the past two years, while the overall squash program is growing at a rate of about 20% a year.
Much of the success of women’s squash is due to the work that went into creating the Butternut, the first women’s West Coast squash tournament. Held March 14-16 at MAC, it included 64 women in a wide age range who traveled from Boston, Seattle, New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Texas, and, of course, Portland. A good number had never played in a squash tournament and had only started squash recently.
The Butternut would not have happened without the support of Kara Hale. Starting in November, she began sending out emails to any women who had ever stepped a sneaker on a MAC squash court. She identified tennis players who might be interested and recruited her friends and family. Kara encouraged everyone to participate in the training sessions for the Butternut, from the beginner clinics on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays to the all-level sessions and play. She compiled lists of players, created groups texts and helped organize drills. Kara never applied pressure, exactly — just gentle but determined persuasion to keep everyone motivated.
Many others pitched in. Assistant Squash Coach Dulce Ramirez organized clinics and lent her expertise to all the women who showed up. She kept the atmosphere fun and inspired the group with her squash skills, and her impeccable fashion. Ever since Dulce arrived, she has given women’s squash an impressive boost. Other experienced women squash players served as captains, helped with training, and generally raised the confidence
of the beginner players. Katherine Rowan not only coached many of the Butternut training sessions but also acted as DJ for the tournament’s dinner and dance party.
Werner says he has never seen so much community generated on the squash courts as he saw with the Butternut training and tournament. “We get sprinkles of it here and there, but that was consistent on a weekly basis,” he says.
After a couple months of Spring Fling activity, which involved informal matchups and training, the next focus for women’s squash is the Howe Cup, an all-women’s tournament that includes teams from across the county. The tournament will be in Seattle this November, and MAC women will start ramping up training this August with weekend sessions.
As Kara said in her last email to the group before summer, the training and the tournament will include “all the laughs, sweat, and fierce female team energy you could ask for.”

The New Face of MAC Competitive Program
We’re thrilled to welcome Porter Troupe as the new Head Coach of MAC’s Junior and Adult Competitive Basketball Programs! He’s a seasoned pro whose life story is as dynamic as his game.
Born in New York City to a family of creatives, Porter is the son of acclaimed poet and author Quincy Troupe, and Margaret Porter Troupe, a former New York Times professional who later founded her own art gallery. With storytelling and culture woven into his roots, Porter found his own form of expression through basketball.
His journey took shape in San Diego, where he attended La Jolla High School and quickly rose to prominence on the court. His standout play earned him a nomination for the McDonald’s All-American Game, one of the highest honors for a high school basketball player. From there, Porter took his talents to the collegiate level, playing for both the University of Portland and Warner Pacific College.
But his story doesn’t end there — it goes global. Porter’s professional basketball career kicked off with the Vancouver Volcanoes, but it was his 16-year international journey
that truly shaped him. Competing in countries such as Romania, Lithuania, Poland, Finland, Cyprus, and Lebanon, Porter not only sharpened his skills but absorbed a global perspective on the game. His final playing season was with CSM Târgu Jiu in Romania, where he also stepped in as acting head coach, marking the start of his next chapter.
After retiring as a player, Porter returned stateside and began coaching at Lakeridge High School in Oregon. There, he served as the varsity assistant and junior varsity head coach, offering young athletes the same guidance and mentorship that had carried him around the world.
With Porter now leading our basketball programs, we’re not just adding a coach — we’re adding a mentor, a global competitor, and a passionate student of the game. Whether he’s developing young talent or elevating seasoned players, Porter brings a blend of intensity, creativity, and leadership that’s sure to leave a lasting mark on our community.
Welcome to the court, Coach Troupe! — Jeremy Boyd

Build the Foundation First: Lifelong Health Begins with Better Habits
by C.J. Martin, Sr. Director of Fitness & Performance
As summer winds down and fall calendars fill up, many of us find ourselves pulled in various directions – school routines, work demands, team sports, and shorter daylight hours. It’s a season of transition, which makes it the perfect time to step back, reset, and rethink the habits that support your health and well-being.
The key to lasting health and fitness isn’t just found in workouts or meal plans; it’s in the habits that underpin them. Sustained health and fitness result from consistent daily actions — small, repeatable behaviors that, over time, lead to significant results. As you prepare for fall, consider using these four habit-building pillars to support your transition into a more structured, energized season:
1. Simplicity: Start Small to Achieve Big
The fall rush makes it tempting to go all out — new training plans, meal prep, early wake-ups — but success comes from sustainability, and the best, most sustainable habits are often the simplest. Don’t try to overhaul your entire lifestyle. Instead of changing everything at once, ask yourself: What’s one action I can repeat daily?
Want to improve your fitness? Begin with a 10-minute walk after dinner. Looking to eat healthier? Prepare one balanced meal per day.
Want better sleep? Do five minutes of breathwork to decompress before bed. Complexity hampers progress; simplicity maintains it. Focus your goals on manageable actions to ensure long-term success. Showing up consistently, even imperfectly, will always outperform perfect plans executed inconsistently.
Getting out for activities with others is a great way to create accountability in your routine and enjoy new environments.
2. Set the Cue, Create the Routine Habits thrive on cues — events that remind us to act — and fall is full of predictable moments like school drop-offs, youth practice schedules, and televised football games. Use these predictable events as anchors for new habits. Head to the gym right after school drop-off, or use practice time to get in a workout. If you love watching football, walk on a treadmill while you watch half the game, or do core exercises during commercials (planks, side planks, and hollow holds work well).
Other daily examples, regardless of the season, include: stretching while your coffee brews, doing 3-5 minutes of guided meditation in your car before entering your home after work, doing 10 lunges or pushups before meals, or packing your gym bag for the next day immediately after dinner. These associations turn conscious effort into automatic habits. The more automatic the cue, the easier it is to follow through.
3. Accountability: Make it Social
As life gets busier, social support becomes even more essential. Most of us perform better when others are involved. Whether it’s a coach, small-group coaching, a training partner, or a group exercise class, accountability boosts habit adherence. Share your goals, celebrate your progress, and lean on your community when motivation wanes.
4. Adaptation: Adjust, Don’t Abandon
Schedules will change. Kids will get sick. Meetings will run long. That’s life — and it doesn’t have to derail your progress. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s persistence. When routines are disrupted, adapt to new circumstances with new habits or cues instead of giving up. If work obligations cause you to miss your planned group class, opt for a quick walk or 5-10 minutes of bodyweight exercises. Even five minutes of movement or one mindful meal can keep your momentum alive.
If you’re aiming for lasting change — whether it’s boosting your strength, managing stress, or sleeping better — build from the ground up. Focus on the process, not the outcome. Identify small actions you can start today and repeat tomorrow. It’s not the one thing you do occasionally, but the things you do consistently that define your health.
At Multnomah Athletic Club, we’re here to help you build a strong foundation for lifelong health. Let us know how we can assist or connect with one of our health coaches by reaching out at fitness@themac.com.

A Brief History of Country-Western Line Dancing — and a Shindig You Won’t Want to Miss
Country-western line dancing, known for its synchronized footwork and energetic group routines, has deep roots in American folk traditions. The style draws influence from European dances brought to North America in the 1800s, evolving into recognizable country-western forms by the late 19th century. As folk dancing entered school curriculums in the early 1900s, it became a popular social pastime.
The 1950s saw the rise of one of the first official line dances, the Madison, followed by a boom of disco line dances in the 1970s like the Electric Slide and the Bus Stop. The 1980 film Urban Cowboy revived country dance culture, and in the 1990s, hits like Billy Ray Cyrus’s Achy Breaky Heart and Brooks & Dunn’s Boot Scootin’ Boogie brought line dancing into the mainstream. Today, line dancing thrives across genres and generations, celebrated worldwide for its fun, welcoming nature.
Right here at MAC, the second annual Western Line Dancing Shindig is bringing back the bootscootin’ energy on Saturday, Aug. 23 from 6-9 p.m. This high-energy evening includes line dance lessons and guided dances, so no experience is needed to join the fun. Attendees can also enjoy whiskey tasting, a Southern BBQ buffet, Texas Hold ’Em poker, roping lessons, and a ride on the mechanical bull. Don’t forget to wear your best cowboy boots and western gear — it’s time to dance, dine, and do-si-do the night away! Tickets are $29 for members and $32 for guests, and include all of the above activities, food, and tastings.

Time Well Spent The Joy & Impact of Volunteering
As part of the Member Events Committee, I’ve seen how valuable volunteering can be for both the MAC community and for the volunteers themselves.
But as times have shifted — between busy careers and packed schedules — volunteering has become less of a priority.
Here’s the truth: our club doesn’t run on autopilot. Our amazing kids’ programs, socials, and committees happen because of members like you.
Even one hour of your time — helping at an event, joining a committee, lending your voice at a planning meeting — can make a real, meaningful difference that will benefit everyone, and especially you!
This club isn’t just a place to work out. It’s a community. One that has stood the test of time, one that becomes stronger, more vibrant, and way more fun when members take part not just as guests, but as contributors.
And the biggest bonus?
You make lifelong friendships along the way, working together for a common good. What could be better than that?
— Carrie Stevens Member Events Committee
