ost treasurers write this column after a full term in the role. I am writing mine about five months in, while also serving as the board secretary, so I spend my meeting nights with both the minutes and the numbers. I joined Ashley Fenker the Board of Trustees TREASURER in October 2024, in a seat that opened midterm, and in June 2026 I became treasurer when that position came open. My time in both roles runs until the Annual Meeting in February, when the term I inherited ends. I have come to like this vantage point. Arrive in the middle of a story and you cannot pretend it began with you, or that it ends with you. Between the two functions at the club, I spend much of my time writing down what the board decided and why, so the next person doesn’t have to guess. Thank you to the committee members, staff, and fellow trustees who make that possible, and to my family, which has become very good at dinner without me on meeting nights.

Budget Season November is when the club turns to the numbers. As treasurer, I chair both the Audit and Budget & Finance Committees. The Audit Committee completed our review of the 2025 tax return and the board approved, closing the book on last year. The Budget & Finance Committee and staff are moving into our review of the 2027 budget, going through every line, asking what we need as a club, what we want, and what we can responsibly afford. The short version: our foundation is sound, which lets us make careful choices rather than rushed ones. The board has not approved the 2027 budget yet, so there is no updated annual dues figure to share. When the board does vote, the decision and the reasoning will be shared broadly so you understand why. Many of you have raised it with me around the club, and I am glad you did. Dues come out of real household budgets, whether that is a family, a retiree, or a young professional deciding where their money goes, and the MAC should keep earning its place in that decision.

Familiar Rooms, Renewed with Care The Reading Lounge is nearing the finish line, with reopening targeted for Nov. 12. Much of what makes the room feel like itself is being carefully preserved. The ceiling has been refinished, with crews matching the areas faded by years of sunlight. New brick is being stained by hand, so it blends with the original floor. The fireplace remains the heart of the room, and the Swimmers sculpture will take its place above it at completion. I know how much this space means to so many of you, and how strongly you feel about how it will be used.

Our foundation is sound, which lets us make careful choices rather than rushed ones. Next door, the Ballroom is being restored and is reopening after the same care. The existing furniture stays, and new carpet is the main change, chosen to match the Reading Lounge, so these connected rooms feel like one cohesive and welcoming space. These rooms hold decades of memories. Our job is to keep what is still good and renew only what needs it.

Coming Home for the Holidays Many of us can remember our first holiday season at the club. Some of you have been coming for decades, and the faces around the fire have changed over the years, but the feeling has not. One of my favorite MAC moments is handing out Thanksgiving pies in the Turnaround with my daughter, Alexandra. When we thanked members for their membership, the stories started: how they joined, raising kids here, meeting the love of their life. Alexandra still asks when we will volunteer again. That is really the whole job, from the treasurer’s chair, the secretary’s table, or anywhere else. Someone handed this club to us in good shape, and our work is to hand it on a little better than we found it, with the books balanced and the record straight. This season, I hope you will find a seat by the fireplace, look up at the Swimmers, and stay a while. Thank you for trusting me with a small piece of the work. NOVEMBER 2026 | The Wınged M | 5

wenty-five years ago, I was driving a green Toyota pickup truck through a mountain pass in Kosovo when I got the call that our base had moved to Threatcon Delta because there was an attack in New York City. I was 25, Charles Leverton operating out of a base GENERAL MANAGER thousands of miles away from my family, wondering what would come next. The years that followed brought deployments, training, and days sometimes best forgotten. This Veterans Day, I think about the people beside me through those years. You learn to count on each other. You learn that someone else needs to be able to count on you. And you learn how much service asks of the families back home. To the veterans among our members and staff, and the families who support them: Thank you. Whatever years you served, your experiences matter here. Please join us for our Veterans Recognition Breakfast from 7 – 9 am Wednesday, Nov. 4, in Ainsworth/ Lownsdale. Come share a meal, get to know someone new, and spend time together. There is room to tell your story, and just as much room to simply listen. That need to have someone beside you does not end when your service does. Life keeps changing. We get older. What we need from one another changes, too. But having someone you can call, someone you know will be there, still matters. For me, that person is my wife, Sebi. When I think about the years ahead, I want to maximize my time with her and our family. I want to be healthy enough to enjoy that time and present enough to appreciate it. I want her to know she can count on me, too. That is where our Lifelong Athlete work becomes personal. Staying strong and active helps us keep doing what we love together and be dependable partners to the people who love us.

The Harvard Study of Adult Development has followed lives since 1938. Its director, Dr. Robert Waldinger, points to the quality of our relationships as a key predictor of healthy aging, specifically having at least one dependable person to turn to for support when life gets difficult. If you have your someone, do not take them for granted. Not everyone has found that person yet. Someone you see at the MAC may still be looking for a friend they can call. Ask them to join your table. Learn their name. If they miss their usual workout, check in. A familiar face can become a friend, but somebody has to make the first move. For the relationships already in our lives, here are three places to start: • Share a six-second hug. With a partner or loved one who welcomes it, slow down for a full six seconds. Put your phone down. Give them your attention. • Take a 20-minute detox. Turn off the screens and talk about your day. Make room for what is weighing on each of you. Listen without trying to fix everything. You do not need to have all the answers. • Give connection a specific anchor. “After dinner, we take a 10-minute walk.” “After Sunday breakfast, I’ll call my oldest friend.” Put that time into a routine you already have, so it does not keep getting pushed to tomorrow. This November, join us for breakfast, listen to a veteran, or reach out to someone you miss. Then, tell us through Sounding Boards how you leaned into our call to action. What did you try? What happened? Your experience might give another member a place to start. We all need people we can count on. We also have the power to be that person for someone else.

CLUB LIFE

FACES OF MAC Some folks look forward to relaxing in retirement. John Pyrch pulled on his waders, picked up his rod, and set out to fill his figurative creel with a few more memories. For the lifelong fly fisherman, catching a steelhead or trout in every one of Oregon’s 36 counties swam to the top of his bucket list upon walking away from Bonneville Power Administration in 2009. When he celebrated his 80th birthday at the beginning of September, it was with the satisfaction that his wicker basket was bursting at the seams with memories. “I got an Oregon highway map from AAA and started to list all the counties where I had caught a trout or steelhead on a fly. As it turned out, I had 16 counties done, and I decided that I should get the rest of them while I could still fish some of the more challenging locations,” he says. For anyone out there who thinks fly-fishing is just about standing in one place and casting, consider the journey as much as the destination. “Physically it is getting more difficult for me than it used to be. Hiking to remote areas, climbing down steep canyons, and wading fast-moving water have become challenging for me. So, it feels great that I was able to finish this goal before my 80th birthday,” Pyrch adds. While Curry, Josephine, and Wallowa Counties rewarded such exertions with stunning scenery, Coos County put Pyrch to the test. He and his patient wife, Gerri, spent a couple of days driving backcountry roads trying to locate streams that held trout. Although they used a few fishing guidebooks, the directions and locations were often hard to interpret and/or follow, and roads and conditions had changed, with dry weather and low water levels adding to the challenge. Elsewhere, Pyrch was accompanied by younger generations of his family, turning the shared quest into a bonding experience between both the people and the land they were exploring. “My son Matthew is an avid fly fisherman, and he accompanied me on 10 or 11 of these trips. My grandkids, Eloise and Weston, also are interested in fishing and participated in 4 or 5 of these adventures,” Pyrch explains. “I think fishing provides a great way for kids to learn about nature, ecology, flora, fauna, geology, etc. Camping and fishing reinforce their interest in exploring rivers and

streams as they try to figure out what it takes to actually catch a fish in its native habitat — i.e., What insects do fish eat? How does this change with the seasons? Where do fish reside in a stream (learning to read the water)? And how has man impacted these special places? I believe this helps instill a love for the outdoors in our children and a desire to help protect the environment where fish live.” These trips also reinforced the value of another of Pyrch’s passions, environmental stewardship. Many of the rivers he encountered on his odyssey had clearly benefitted from conservation efforts by the Flyfisher Foundation, the charitable branch of Flyfishers’ Club of Oregon. As a past

president of the foundation — who previously spoke with The Winged M about its work back in April 2022 — Pyrch saw how important it is to continue this work and encourage others to get outside and go fishing. “You don’t need to be a fly fisherman to set a goal of landing a fish in all of Oregon’s 36 counties. Just catching any type of fish (trout, bass, bluegill, crappie, carp, etc.) with any type of gear (bait, lures, flies, etc.) is an adventure kids will enjoy. Get a map that shows Oregon counties and start planning which streams, rivers, and lakes you want to include in your adventure. It is a great way to get your family to explore the beautiful state of Oregon.”

Bodie Von Allmen took first at USA SUP National Championships in September.

Chairman of the Board Member Bodie Von Allmen is a standup guy, and not just because he’s proficient at paddleboard. The fact that he’s won five national championships is enough to elevate him into the top tiers of the sport he loves, but it’s his commitment to the future of stand-up paddleboard racing right here in Oregon that makes it seem like he walks on water. “We live in the mecca for paddleboard racing, or at least it used to be,” he laments. “One of the biggest races of the year was in the Gorge, but throughout the U.S., we’ve seen the sport really die, and it’s completely moved to Europe and Asia. Globally it’s been blowing up, but locally, it’s been on a sharp decline.” That might come as a surprise to those who’ve discovered stand-up paddleboarding via its recreational aspect, which has flourished since the pandemic. Due to a variety

of circumstances, including a shift in athlete interest toward hydrofoil sports, races in California, New York, and Hawaii that used to define the sport have sunk without a trace. Von Allmen is determined to paddle against that current. In July, he and his business, Stoke on the Water, organized the inaugural Gorge Ultra Distance, a 17-mile race starting at Home Valley Park, near Stevenson and Skamania Lodge in Washington. Next up, he’s planning the Pacific City Paddle Fest, followed by the City Race along the Willamette in Portland, with the goal of creating a trio of events that are irresistible to the global paddleboard-racing community. “Next year the plan is to have a three-week tour,” Von Allmen says. “Europeans don’t want to come over for just one race. They want to come and hit three, so we’re lining up backto-back-to-back weeks of racing.” Not bad for a 20-year-old.

Von Allmen first got into stand-up paddleboarding around 2015, catching his early enthusiasm from his dad, who took part in local races. They also surfed on the weekends, and Bodie enjoyed skating at a nearby park on the weekdays. When it closed down, he realized that paddleboarding was something he could continue to do throughout the week closer to home. Eventually, his initial chasing of the adrenaline rush refined itself into an appreciation for the mechanics of the sport, and he had set course for a new life pursuit. “Being young, it’s easy to learn at that age, and I do feel like I progressed really quickly. It started with just local races, and as a very little kid, I started to win those and realize that I could get really good at this. Now, I’ve been paddling every day for over 10 years,” Von Allmen explains. That eventually propelled him to his first national championship in 2021, and a corresponding trip to worlds in Hungary. He’s returned to the international competition every year since, and by the time members are reading this story, he’ll be back from Italy, where this year’s competition is taking place. Von Allmen hopes to remain in the top 20 as he has each year and, if all goes well, work his way up to the top 10, 5, and maybe even to the podium. He’s worked with MAC Personal Trainer Garrett Schnell to improve his fasttwitch muscle system and short game, with the goal of building on his natural endurance to maintain his lead at the end of races. He’s also continuing to build his business, diversifying the types of coaching he offers to others interested in paddleboarding, surfing, and other water sports. His personal ambitions seem matched only by those he has for the future of competitive SUP. “I will paddle forever, just keep racing and seeing how well I can do,” he says. “There’s so much room to grow and a lot of potential.” NOVEMBER 2026 | The Wınged M | 11

What if we fed hungry Oregonians for free? What if ? More like, why not. The volunteer-based Burrito Brigade in Eugene has been delivering delicious, free burritos, made from surplus food sourced from restaurants, to hungry locals for over a decade.

Acknowledging the Land Beneath Our Feet There’s something our club has been working toward for a while now. This fall, the Multnomah Athletic Club formally adopted a Land Acknowledgment. I want to tell you what it is, why we did it, and what it might mean for our community going forward.

Here’s the statement:

A land acknowledgment is a formal statement recognizing Indigenous Peoples as traditional stewards of the land and honoring the enduring relationship between those communities and their ancestral territories. It’s a starting point, not a finish line. Our club carries the name of the Multnomah people. The land that the MAC sits on was their home and the home of the Kathlamet, Clackamas, and other Chinook bands, long before anything we know as Portland existed. Acknowledging that history aligns with the MAC’s Inclusive Community Objective and with what many of our neighbors already do. The Portland Thorns, Portland Art Museum, Portland International Airport, Portland State University, Lincoln High School, World Forestry Center, and Timberline Lodge have each adopted their own acknowledgments. We also want to be clear about what this is. Bobbie Conner of the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla said it well: “A land acknowledgment should mean something to the people saying it. It shouldn’t be a feel-good gesture or a box to check.” Our subcommittee has spent real time on this, drawing on guidance

from the Native Governance Center and the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation.

What Comes Next? Having a statement is step one. The more important question is how we use it. We’re exploring where and how the acknowledgment shows up at the MAC, whether that’s on our website, at significant club events, or permanently displayed somewhere in the building. We’re also thinking about what programming could grow from it, including potential outreach to organizations like the Native American Youth and Family Center here in Portland, opportunities to connect Indigenous communities to the MAC’s athletic and wellness offerings, and education for our members during Native American Heritage Month in November. None of that is finalized. What is decided is that this acknowledgment reflects a genuine commitment, and we intend to build on it. If you want to learn more or get involved with the DEI Education Subcommittee’s work, email DEI.chair@themac.com.

The Multnomah Athletic Club rests on the traditional lands and village sites of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, and other bands of the Chinook and many others who made their homes along the Columbia River. The Multnomah were members of Chinook Tribal Nation that lived in this area. We stand with descendants of these Tribes as the original stewards and protectors of these lands since time immemorial. We honor their legacies and continue to learn about and support Indigenous voices.

Why This? And Why Now?

The Multnomah Athletic Foundation Presents:

2026 IMPACT AWARD

The Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s Impact Award recognizes the positive impact of a nonprofit organization through its support of youth, athletic participation, and community collaboration. The annual Impact Award is presented to one of our community grant partners in the Portland metropolitan area.

Cada Casa Founded in 2010 by bilingual science, art, and design educator Tymon Emch, Cada Casa creates educational opportunities for young people who have historically faced barriers to access. Its name means “every house” in Spanish, reflecting its inclusive mission. CADA stands for Comunidad, Academia, Deporte, Arte, while CASA represents Community, Academics, Sports, and Art.

CMY

At the heart of Cada Casa’s work is the belief that opportunity should be accessible to every young person. Through various soccer programs across Washington and Multnomah Counties, Cada Casa challenges the pay-to-play model by creating accessible, community-based athletic opportunities, particularly for students of color and immigrant families. By reducing barriers to participation, the organization embraces soccer as the world’s game for all. Complementing its athletic programming, Cada Casa partners with public middle and high schools to offer classes and engaging educational experiences that connect with students’ cultures, interests, and communities. Programs include Apparel Design Lab, DJ-ing, street art, soccer jersey production, mentorships, and apprenticeships. Its programs foster passion exploration, skill building, and creative thinking, with a commitment to equity and intercultural education. The Multnomah Athletic Foundation is proud to honor Cada Casa with its Impact Award, recognizing its commitment to expanding access to athletics and education and creating meaningful opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and thrive.

IN MEMORIAM Kathleen E. Rogovoy Aug. 16, 1942 – Aug. 3, 2026 Kathleen E. Rogovoy, 83, of Portland, Oregon, passed away August 3, 2026. Born in New Jersey, Kathleen made Portland her home for over 50 years. Portland is where she built a life centered on family, friendship, community, and an active love of life. Kathleen was an avid tennis player for most of her life. Tennis brought her great enjoyment and lasting friendships, and her involvement in the sport was an important part of her connection to the Multnomah Athletic Club. She loved the activity, competition, and camaraderie that came with being on the court. Giving her time to others was another important part of Kathleen’s life. She was an active volunteer for many causes and generously supported organizations and efforts that mattered to her. She approached volunteer work with the same enthusiasm and commitment that she brought to her friendships and family. But Kathleen’s greatest joy was her family. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who took great pleasure in the lives of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was a beloved presence in her family, and the love and memories she created with them will endure for generations. Kathleen was predeceased by her parents and siblings. She is survived by her daughter, LizAnn Rogovoy; stepchildren, Debra Burgess and Philip Rogovoy (Mitzi); and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Kathleen also treasured her many friendships. She had a way of making people feel welcome and valued, and she remained connected to the people and communities that had been important to her throughout her life.

Kathleen will be remembered with great affection by her family and her many friends. She leaves a legacy of love for her family, service to her community, lifelong friendships, and a life well lived. She will be deeply missed on and off the tennis court.

Pamalynn “Pammy” Steinfeld July 10, 1947 – Sept. 12, 2026 Pammy Steinfeld had an unmistakable zest for life. She and her husband, Rick, were married for 48 years. Together, they built a life filled with family, travel, friendship, and adventure. As they traveled around the world for Rick’s family pickle business, Pammy’s warmth and ability to connect with people made her an invaluable partner in building many cherished and lasting relationships. Together, Rick and Pammy — also known fondly as “Mimi” — built a beautiful blended family of four children: Shaunalynn, Tristan, Jeff, and Ashton. They welcomed four grandchildren — Steven, Brandon, Ruby, and Isla — as well as a great-grandchild, Vivian. Pammy has a brother in Oregon, Jon, and a brother, Don, in Sweden, where she loved to spend weeks in the summer reconnecting with her extended family. Pammy grew up in Portland, attended David Douglas High School, and earned two degrees from Portland State University. A tomboy as a child, she never lost her adventurous spirit. She completed seven Cycle Oregon rides, rafted down the Colorado River for 10 days, and paddled on the MAC’s Dragon Boat team — somehow managing to compete with perfectly coifed blonde hair. The MAC was a place that Pammy loved to be. Whether she was working out, trying something new with Rick, relaxing in the whirlpool, playing Pitch (a beloved card game), or spending time with her children and grandchildren, the MAC was a home

away from home. In recent years, Pammy was warmly welcomed into the water volleyball community, where she made many cherished friendships in the water and afterwards at the Pub. Pammy and Rick even won the MAC Pitch Tournament one year. They golfed together, too, and attended nine British Opens. Pammy brought her radiant spirit everywhere. She loved dressing up — one Halloween she was Wonder Woman while Rick was a bumblebee — and she adored animals and nature. She and Rick served for many years on the Oregon Zoo Board. They hosted numerous events for the zoo supporting elephants, chimpanzees, the golden monkey exhibit, and harpy eagles. Pammy was wonderfully spontaneous. Once, she brought home a rabbit named Thumper without telling Rick. He arrived home to find the neighbor kids playing with the new pet on the floor, minus Pammy. And she would happily roll around with her grandchildren. Just last year, she entertained them with what could generously be described as a “cartwheel.” Pammy didn’t just march to her own drum … she had her own band! And everyone joined in the parade. Her family will gather in November in Ixtapa, Mexico, where she and Rick had returned for 35 years, to celebrate her life. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Raphael House of Portland or the Portland Japanese Garden. A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, April 4, 2027, at the MAC.

“CHRIS PLANS EACH SESSION SO I CAN FOCUS ON THE EXERCISES WHILE HE MAKES SURE MY FORM IS CORRECT.”

Member Katie Nelsen works with Personal Trainer Chris Cain in the Fitness Room.

MAC’S BASEMENT IS AN INDOOR PLAYGROUND FOR THE HEALTHY AT HEART

Written by Jake Ten Pas Photos by Brandon Davis

temperatures drop and daylight dwindles, the MAC’s facilities play an increasingly crucial role in members’ lives. There are compelling reasons to come to the club all year long, but summer understandably beckons even die-hard gym rats into the sunshine for fair-weather workouts. When the gray of fall intimates another inevitable winter, the MAC Fitness Room and surrounding facilities are always waiting to welcome the wayward back. There are, however, those who put the fitness floor to its fullest use year-round. They are group exercise enthusiasts, self-guided weight room warriors, dedicated disciples of personal trainers, and those who mix and match every facility and service the MAC presents. As the wheel of time once again turns toward weather best experienced through windows, who better to look to for inspiration? Whether self-directed or in need of external motivation, every member should be able to see themselves in one of the following perspectives and piece together the right combination of indoor fitness approaches to keep them coming back.

training day Katie Nelsen loved playing team sports growing up and has remained in motion ever since. Still, the incentive, expertise, and external framework provided by a personal trainer have proven invaluable in fueling the kind of life she wants to continue to lead. “I tell people that they will not know whether personal training is right for them until they try it. The environment is supportive, and working with a trainer provides

motivation, structure, and guidance that can help them accomplish their goals,” she attests. Nelsen has been a MAC member her whole life and worked with a number of club personal trainers over the years. In high school, after blowing out her right knee, she spent a lot of time doing physical therapy in and around the Exercise & Conditioning Room, as the Fitness Room was previously known, and that was when she first met Chris Cain. In 2021, she finally found herself working with him in a small-group setting, and then on a one-on-one basis, which has continued for the past five years. “I appreciate that Chris makes each workout fun, challenging, and varied. He understands my sports background and history of knee injuries, and he has helped me build strength while reducing my risk of future injuries,” Nelsen says. “I also never feel intimidated going into the gym or have to wonder what to work on that day. Chris plans each session so I can focus on the exercises while he makes sure my form is correct.” Nelsen adds that all of this guidance is in service of continuing to build strength and maintain balance. In addition to chasing these goals through personal training, she regularly takes mat Pilates classes and swims in the 50-Meter Pool, which Cain encourages as valuable sources of variety within her routine. “Because I enjoy being active, working out with Chris helps me maintain the strength I need for bike rides, hikes, skiing, and keeping up with my two young boys. He tailors our workouts to the season, so I feel stronger and better prepared for each activity.” Continued on page 31 NOVEMBER 2026 | The Wınged M | 29

While her knees still often hurt, Nelsen says Cain has been great about adjusting their workouts as needed to reduce discomfort without losing sight of her objectives. His knowledge and experience are also helpful in minimizing the risk for future injuries. “I loved team sports growing up because of the camaraderie, the shared goal, and the guidance of a coach. Personal training gives me those same things: support, accountability, and someone who helps me keep moving toward my goals.”

idle hands Who says idle hands are the devil’s playground? Dorsey Wilhoite found his own surplus of free time to be exactly the positive motivation he needed, leading him to discover a discipline that continues to shape his life. “I went to University of Redlands in Southern California with the plan to play baseball,” he recalls before revealing that it wasn’t meant to be. After weighing the time commitment of such a course against the long-term benefit to his life, he decided to walk off the field — and into his college gym. “I had all this free time on my hands and thought, What do I do with it? I started going to the weight room and that year put on 10 or 15 pounds. Coming back home, all I wanted to do was lift, and that was where the MAC came back into my life. I could get the same workout, but with nicer equipment.” The 26-year-old grew up at the MAC starting at age 7, playing basketball for the club during middle school before splitting his time between baseball and video game marathons in high school. The self-described “scrawny kid” who left for college never returned. In his place was a young man with an accounting degree and a firm focus on transforming himself through the power of will and hard work. “It’s cool that you can actually manipulate your body by just consistently doing this thing and eating and sleeping well,” he says of his initial attraction to pumping iron. “I like the challenge of weightlifting and all the different approaches you can take to it. You can go into lifting saying, I want to get stronger, I want to

Continued from page 31 improve my flexibility and mobility, or I want to get faster. “Getting stronger and looking larger is cool and all, but I also like the idea that I could genuinely take my physical capabilities, challenge them, and then grow from a mental perspective and also from a strength perspective.” Wilhoite has certainly made friends with MAC trainers during his time here, but most of his motivation seems to come from within. Whether it’s solving the problem of breaking through a plateau or changing his focus from building muscle to cardio based on his current goals, he never seems to run out of reasons to hit the gym. “Except for a couple of holidays, the MAC is open every day, which is good because it’s really hard for me to take a day off,” he says. “We have such a wide variety of equipment

and tools to target whatever my goals are. Whatever part of me I’m trying to work, lifting keeps me grounded. If I’m preoccupied with some concern, it’s always nice to come to the gym and let off some steam and realize that most of the time it’s not as big of a deal as my mind’s making it out to be. Moving and sweating and getting my heart rate up really alleviates a lot of that sensation.”

Now, 21 years after he first joined, and three or so after he ended his membership hiatus, he’s found group exercise classes to be the previously missing component that is helping him make the most of this community.

the fitness floor is yours Continued from page 32 “My wife uses the heck out of this place, and other than kind of here and there, now and then, I still wasn’t,” he recalls of his decision to suspend his membership. “I was doing a lot of hiking, pretty rigorous stuff, but not resistance training or core work. I wasn’t really taking advantage of my membership.” But within a year, he was back, citing information he began to see popping up in the newspapers he regularly reads about the importance of staying in shape for longevity. In addition, while he has an active social life, he was beginning to feel somewhat isolated in retirement. Upon paying his back dues and returning to the MAC fold, he found his way into one of Instructor Kimmie Brunke’s classes. “It got me back into yoga again, which I had neglected for about 20 years. I always felt really good about yoga from a spiritual place, from a physical exercise place,” he explains. That class led him to other Brunke offerings, and then classes such as Papi Ferunaj’s Senior Strength. “I’m not what you’d call a gym rat,” Rubin says, but the Specialized Strength Studio provided a “milder vibe” where he felt comfortable and was soon regularly using the Keiser equipment to address those

deficiencies in core and resistance training, the importance of which a recent doctor visit had reinforced. Now Rubin comes to the MAC four days a week, regularly taking classes such as Ellové Technique and Pure Stretch, and he says the real-world benefits have already become evident.

“I feel just from an intellectual point like I’m treating myself better health-wise because I’m doing these exercises. It’s also given me some routine since I retired. I definitely am better toned, even though I’m not vigorously using weights. I’m still not in Mr. Universe condition. Who is?” he finishes, smiling. In May, Rubin turns 80, which is blowing his mind. Years ago, 80 had a stigma to him that he’ll soon defy in real time. He doesn’t necessarily feel his age, but activities that he once took for granted — moving furniture, hoisting a large bag into an overhead plane compartment — aren’t as easy as they once were. “Climbing up ladders to clean gutters or change a light bulb started to feel a little more risky,” he says. “I don’t want to lose those abilities. We like to travel, maintain strength and independence.” Rubin admits that he’s often been more focused on feeding his mind than body, an imbalance that he continues to address to the benefit of his overall quality of life. “I like film, I go to all kinds of live music, so I keep busy. But it’s really good to have a physical regimen. It’s really easy to be a couch potato, even if it’s not at home in front of the TV but at a theater or concert. The exercise and modest social connections I’m getting here are good for the mind, body, and spirit.”

PICKLEBALL

Summer Slammers Serve Up a Thrilling Second Season The second annual Summer Slammers Pickleball League brought another season of competition, camaraderie, and plenty of action to the courts. Throughout the summer, teams battled in weekly doubles matches, putting their skills to the test while enjoying the social atmosphere that has quickly made Summer Slammers a favorite on the pickleball calendar. After weeks of competition, the season came down to two championship matchups in the 3.5 and 4.0 divisions. In the 3.5 championship, top-seeded Dink Floyd sent heavy hitters Ryan Brown and Peter Woo onto the court against thirdseeded Dink About It, represented by crafty veterans Mark Jansa and Derek Luo. The opening game started competitively, with Jansa and Luo looking to use their experience and shot-making to neutralize their opponents. It didn’t take long, however, for Brown and Woo to show why Dink Floyd entered the championship as the league’s No. 1 seed. Their combination of power, aggression, and relentless pressure proved difficult to contain. Once the duo found their rhythm, they took control of the match and powered Dink Floyd to the 3.5 Summer Slammers championship. If the 3.5 final was a display of power, the 4.0 championship was an all-out slugfest. No. 1 seed Team Spahr, featuring young mavericks Bryan Spahr and Tyler Soo, squared off against No. 2 Team Dickson, represented by seasoned competitors Jim Brayton and Tony Pullen. Brayton and Pullen struck first, grinding out a close opening game and appearing to have cracked the code against Team Spahr’s youth and energy. But Spahr and Soo weren’t going away quietly. The young duo locked in over the next two games. Spahr’s power consistently put Team Dickson under pressure, while Soo’s quick hands and precision proved dangerous during fast exchanges at the kitchen. Brayton and Pullen continued answering punch for punch, turning the championship into a heavyweight battle in which neither side wanted to give an inch. Ultimately, Spahr and Soo captured the next two games to complete the comeback and claim the 4.0 Summer Slammers championship for Team Spahr.

38 | The Wınged M | NOVEMBER 2026

Beyond the final scores, Summer Slammers once again delivered what the league was created to provide: competitive pickleball in a fun, social setting where players can challenge themselves, build connections, and enjoy a summer on the courts. Congratulations to Dink Floyd and Team Spahr on their division championships. And thank you to all of the teams and players who helped make the second annual Summer Slammers Pickleball League another memorable season. We can’t wait to see who comes out swinging next summer!

FITNESS

From Guidance to Action How the MAC Fitness & Performance Team Put ACSM’s New Recommendations Into Practice he American College of Sports Medicine’s updated Position Stand on resistance training sends a clear message: Exercise for health is not only about being active; it is also about being strong.¹ In an overview of 137 systematic reviews representing more than 30,000 participants, ACSM concluded that resistance training improves muscle strength, hypertrophy, power, muscular endurance, contraction velocity, gait speed, balance, and multiple physical function outcomes in healthy adults.¹ That matters because these are not only gym-based outcomes. They are physical capacities that influence how well people move, perform, and function across their lifespans. One of the most valuable features of the new paper is that it connects training adaptation to everyday life. The ACSM summary highlights improvements in outcomes such as gait speed, timed up-and-go, chair stand performance, and balance.¹ Those measures are familiar in research because they reflect meaningful function. They help show whether a person is not only stronger on paper, but also moving better in ways that matter outside the weight room. In that sense, resistance training is not just about aesthetics or athletic performance. It is a practical health behavior. That is exactly where the MAC’s strength and conditioning classes fit. For many adults, the challenge is not knowing that exercise is important. The challenge is knowing how to start, how hard to train, and how to progress with confidence. The new ACSM position stand concludes that healthy adults should perform progressive resistance training to improve muscle function, size, and physical performance, and it identifies a frequency of at least two sessions per week as helpful for maximizing strength outcomes.¹ Structured classes

Performance Lab Assessment

FITNESS help translate that evidence into practice by providing coaching, progression, and accountability. They give members a consistent setting to train with intent rather than guesswork. The Performance Lab adds another layer by bringing assessment into the process. The outcomes emphasized by the ACSM paper are measurable markers of physical capacity that help bridge the gap between research and real-world application. At the Performance Lab, staff uses some of these same categories of testing to better understand where someone is starting, identify what qualities may need the most attention, and track whether training is producing meaningful change over time. That makes exercise more individualized, more objective, and more useful. The paper also offers practical direction for program design. Strength appears to be enhanced by heavier loads, full range of motion, two to three sets, and at least two sessions per week.¹ Hypertrophy appears to benefit from higher weekly volume and eccentric overload, while power is enhanced by moderate loads moved explosively and by power-oriented training methods.¹ At the same time, the broader takeaway is reassuring: Resistance training works, and many forms of it work well. People do not need a perfect program to benefit. They need an evidencebased program they can perform consistently. That is the shared value of the MAC and the Performance Lab. The MAC provides accessible coaching and training through strength and conditioning classes. The Performance Lab provides testing that helps members understand their baseline and measure progress. Together, they turn current ACSM guidance into something practical: train regularly, train with purpose, and monitor change. The QR codes included with this article offer two entry points, one to sign up for MAC Strength & Conditioning classes, and one to schedule a Performance Lab assessment.

Stronger Together The MAC’s Annual Lifting Competition Expands establish a baseline for future progress, this is a great opportunity to challenge yourself and enjoy some friendly competition. For the Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting events, each participant gets three attempts at each lift, with the best valid attempt counting toward the competition total. For the first time, MAC’s outstanding trainers and employees are invited to compete alongside members and guests, bringing even more of the club community together on the lifting platform. MAC Fitness Coach Josh Sargeant will be competing for the first time. “So many people are intimidated by lifting competitions because they think they need to be ready to win before they ever compete,” says Sargeant. “But a powerlifting or Olympic weightlifting meet can simply be an opportunity to learn more about yourself. Competition sets a benchmark for where you are in your strength and performance journey and gives you and your coach a clearer idea of what to work on next.”

“For me, preparing for this meet has an added meaning,” he continued. “After a significant hip injury and surgery, I spent more than a year on crutches. There was a time when training like this felt very far away, so I am genuinely grateful just to be healthy enough to prepare and see what I can do.” Come test your strength, set a personal record, and be part of this growing MAC tradition. See you on the platform!

One-Rep MACs Lifting Competition Saturday, Nov. 21 9 am – 1 pm Fitness Room FIE1121 Assigned lifting times are provided after registration. Come lift, compete, and cheer on your fellow MAC athletes!

The Fitness Committee invites members, guests, and — for the first time — MAC trainers and employees to participate in the fourth annual One-Rep MACs Challenge on Saturday, Nov. 21. Participants can compete in one or all competitions. This year’s event features Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, the supertotal, the MAC bench press competition, and an exciting new addition: the hip thrust 1-RM competition. Olympic weightlifting tests two movements: the snatch and the clean and jerk. Powerlifting’s “big three” consists of the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Participants can choose either discipline, combine both in the supertotal, compete in the bench press alone, or take on the new hip thrust competition. The MAC bench press competition also offers a fun opportunity to compare your performance with decades of MAC lifters who have participated before you. Whether you’re an experienced lifter chasing a new personal record or are looking to

The United Theme Brings Club Together in Holiday Spirit

he club’s annual holiday theme has been diligently curated by the Holiday Decorating Committee for generations. The time that has been dedicated to continuing this storied club tradition is nearly immeasurable. Months of planning and work parties culminate each year in a dazzling transformation of the club to delight our community. Likewise, the Culture & Style Committee and its previous committee iterations have wowed members for more than seven decades with the Holiday Fashion Show. Originating as a single-day luncheon that partnered with brands such as Best’s, Meier & Frank, and Nordstrom, the Holiday Fashion Show has grown into a two-day spectacle featuring a selection of local artisanal designers and boutiques, shown off by member volunteer models. This year, with the strong leadership and collaboration of Holiday Decorating Chair Ernest Cooper and Culture & Style Chair Stacie Sinai, two of the club’s cornerstone

traditions complement each other with variations on a united theme. Every year, the club’s transformation takes a team (and a Santa’s bag worth of resources) to pull off. By collaborating with each other, the committees are making the most of the volunteer hours, staffing, and budget that go into these programs, to spread the maximum amount of holiday magic throughout the club. In that spirit, Holiday Decorating is pleased to present to the MAC community: “A Winter’s Walk” – Take a stroll through wintry trees that offer comfort, and enjoy the vibrant colors of the season. Culture & Style is pleased to present this year’s Holiday Fashion Show theme: “The Frost” – Shimmer and sparkle through the holidays with a remarkable snow-kissed show in all its icy splendor. Come walk through winter together with fellow members.

Make Holiday Magic at the MAC: and Volunteer!

Join the Holiday Decorating Crew Nov. 27 – 30 Looking to create meaningful memories with your loved ones this holiday season? Join the MAC’s annual Holiday Decorating Weekend, a cherished tradition for many MAC families. Each year, parents and kids (ages 10 and older) spend a few hours — or a whole day — decorating the club together, making memories that last long after the lights come down. There’s something for everyone, no matter your skill level or mobility. From stringing lights and hanging garland to trimming trees and placing decor, tasks are available for all abilities. And here’s a little secret: Volunteers get an exclusive sneak peek at how the year’s theme comes to life — before anyone else! Choose from morning, afternoon, and full-day shifts between Friday, Nov. 27, and Monday, Nov. 30.

What to Expect Each Day Friday, Nov. 27 (VOL1127): Setting up trees, stringing lights, and hanging garland. If you enjoy physical labor and/or are great at stringing lights, this is the day for you! Saturday, Nov. 28 (VOL1128) & Sunday, Nov. 29 (VOL1129): Decorate with trees, wreaths, garland, and swags throughout the building. Calling all decorating lovers! Monday, Nov. 30 (VOL1130): Finish decorating the trees, make any final style adjustments, and pack up our supplies to complete the job. All hands welcome this day for an assortment of activities to help us close out the event! Every shift also comes with a free catered meal as a thank you: Morning volunteers receive a hearty American-style breakfast, and afternoon crews enjoy a delicious lunch. In addition, those on Saturday are invited to a hosted happy hour (including one drink ticket) to wrap up the day.

Whether it’s your first time or the start of a new tradition, volunteering is a fun and festive way to connect with your family, friends, and the MAC community. Visiting family or friends in town? Bring them too! Guests are welcome to join the fun and help to turn the club into a gorgeous holiday wonderland. It’s a perfect way to share the MAC experience and make the Thanksgiving weekend even more special. And when the season winds down, both members and guests are invited to join the Post-Holiday Helper Crew on Saturday, Jan. 2 (VOL0102) & Sunday, Jan. 3 (VOL0103): to lovingly pack away the magic. It’s a joyful way to honor the season and give back to the community one final time. So, gather your loved ones, lace up your elf shoes, and help make the MAC shine. We can’t wait to decorate with you! — Holiday Decorating Committee

Schramm Family

Jessica Dorrington (left)

A Thanksgiving Tradition that’s a Favorite for All Ages For friends, families, and the occasional pup, the MAC’s annual Turkey Trot is a fun preholiday workout that gets generations moving together. Members Ricky Schramm and Jessica Dorrington illustrate why this event has become a beloved annual tradition for bringing people together before the feasting begins.

Ricky Schramm, Global Brand Marketing, Nike How many times have you done the MAC Turkey Trot? This will be the fourth year we’ve run as a family. Who do you do the Turkey Trot with? My twin children; my father, who lives in Florida; and my brother, who lives in New Jersey. We might even bring our new pup, Ruthie, this year! Favorite Turkey Trot memory? What I most cherish is waking up early on Thanksgiving, rallying three generations of our family to move together, and seeing our children’s growth each year translate into a love of running. A couple years ago, our kids were begging for piggybacks. Now, they trot comfortably! Do you run it or walk it? I’m a lifelong athlete turned runner. Now, running is a daily meditation. It’s a source of energy and helps me process thoughts. I’m not competitive about running at all, and I love that. How do you manage to get the turkey in the oven after spending the morning at the race? My wife, Margot, is the mastermind (and master chef ) responsible for our family’s feast. She has it down to a well-practiced science at this point. Big thanks to her for making it all possible!

54 | The Wınged M | NOVEMBER 2026

Jessica Dorrington, Physical Therapist How many times have you done the MAC Turkey Trot? Last year was my first! In the fall, I am wrapping up marathon racing and training, or family vacations don’t always lend themselves to being in town for the event. I’m so glad I did. Who do you do the Turkey Trot with? I ran with teenage athletes that I treat and connected with friends that I share miles with. As a physical therapist, I am always helping people get back to what they love to do after injury, and our end goal is helping them achieve new heights as they chase big goals. Watching them cross the finish line, strong and smiling, is one of the best parts of my job. You were the top female finisher in 2025. Are you going for a repeat victory this year? I’ll lace up ready to give it my best, but the real win is the morning itself. My youngest son has gotten into running this year, so if he attends I’ll be running alongside him stride for stride in our first race together. Whether you run, jog, walk, or push a stroller, you’re out there moving with community, and that’s a victory. How do you get the turkey in the oven after the race? My husband is the chef in our house, and he’s a master at preparing the turkey. Some years we pick up a Thanksgiving feast from the MAC instead. Either way, it lets me focus on being grateful for the day and for my family and friends.

YOUR HOME, MADE BETTER.

Let’s bring your vision to life.

Remembering a Champion Wrestler In 1967, Rick Sanders won the AAU National tournament, earning a gold medal while wrestling for Multnomah Athletic Club and securing his space on the MAC’s Wall of Fame. Two years later, he and fellow Oregonian Fred Fozzard became the first Americans to win a World Championship. A former Lincoln High student who trained at the MAC after his school practice, Sanders would also lead his Portland State University team to national prominence prior to the aforementioned accomplishments. Sadly, he was killed at age 27 while hitchhiking in Europe after taking silver at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Sanders left behind a legacy of bold, unconventional style and frequently appears on lists of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

WIKIMEDIA COMMO NS

In August, a new headstone replaced his crumbling former marker at Forrester Cemetery in Eagle Creek thanks to a dedicated group of fans who raised money to give the legend his due. Members interested in learning more about his story can read his biography Rick Sanders In The Moment by Bahne Bahnson.
