am often asked about whether we should change the name of the Men’s Bar. Many members take offense at the insinuation that women aren’t welcome; others feel that the word “bar” does not do justice to the exceptional menu. While it is generally Carl Burnham III PRESIDENT assumed that the name simply originated from a time when women weren’t permitted in the bar, I decided to learn a little more. I was surprised to learn that in the early decades of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, (MAAC) as it was originally called, the club strictly forbade liquor. A 1917 Oregonian article referenced MAC to be an outlier, as a club that did not allow liquor or gambling on club premises. At the time, liquor was considered an indispensable factor in the attraction of people to clubs. MAC’s other distinguishing factor, which continues to this day, is that all family members, including children, are allowed to use the club. In 1920, when prohibition took effect, the club was already in compliance; however, the law allowed members to keep liquor in club lockers, provided the storage place was for the exclusive use of the member, family or guests. Club rules changed to allow alcohol in 1936, three years after the repeal of prohibition. Members could rent bottle lockers and pay for cocktail service. Oregon Liquor laws changed in 1952 to allow sales of liquor by the glass. The first official Men’s Bar opened at the completion of a major club remodel in 1940. A July 1940 Winged M article discussing the remodel carried photos of a staid, lady-friendly “cocktail lounge” and refers to an “air-conditioned stag bar.” The October 1940 Winged M carried a two-page spread of photos of a new “luxury floor,” which highlighted the cocktail lounge and the separate Men’s Bar. Around that time, slot machines were installed in the Men’s Bar. A separate Men’s Bar space might have been created to compete with other local clubs, which all had separate drinking, smoking and gambling spaces for men. In 1978, women were granted full voting membership in the club, and articles at the time referenced some women involved in the campaign saying that they didn’t care a bit about the Men’s Bar name. After the 1984 club remodel, including a major refresh of the Men’s Bar, women were allowed in the Men’s Bar and it began to be
used as a dining venue. At the time, in deference to tradition, all agreed to keep the Men’s Bar name. I have no idea how long it will continue to be called the Men’s Bar, but one thing is for sure: this wonderful dining venue has a fascinating history.
Member coaches Member coaches are a key part of the club’s athletic programs. They provide specialized coaches for sports, and offer their expertise at camps and other instructional programs. Member coaches receive complimentary MAC membership during their term. They are entitled to full use of the club and may compete for MAC. Coaches pay no monthly dues for themselves but do pay dues for their family members. Member coach contracts are reviewed annually and after five years, they may apply for full membership. Member coaches pay the standard initiation fee. There are currently 91 member coaches. All have been approved by the Athletic Committee, Athletic Director and Board of Trustees.
Athletic members Athletic members have been part of the club since its founding in 1891, to augment the club’s athletic teams. It seems they were specifically recruited to allow the club to compete at the highest of levels competition. It was not until later that the club offered recreational sports. In 1965, club trustees created the first athletic member policy. Athletic member policies have been updated often ever since. The goal of athletic members is to enhance club athletic programs through: the encouragement of increased member participation and competition; demonstrating excellence in a sport; continuing competitive traditions in striving for excellent representation of the club in its chosen sports; and to raise the level of member experience. Athletic memberships are issued upon the approval of the applicable sport committee and head coach/pro, Athletic Director, Athletic Committee, and the Board of Trustees. Athletic members pay dues and may apply for membership after three years. They pay the initiation fee in effect at the time, but 50 percent of the dues paid during the athletic membership are credited toward the payment, not to exceed one-half of the total initiation fee. Senior athletic memberships are limited to a term of five years. There cannot be more than 90 athletic members at one time. It is very rare for the club to reach the 90-member cap; we currently have 77 athletic members. WM DECEMBER 2013

Recently, members completed our annual membership satisfaction survey. I am grateful that we continue to finish with extremely satisfied members. In 2013, 95.3 percent of the membership was satisfied. Our staff takes their jobs seriNorm Rich ously and are gratified GENERAL MANAGER that the membership recognizes their good work. While we are not perfect, we are encouraged by continuous improvement. We do not stop trying to make your experiences at the club more meaningful each time you come. Eighty-five percent felt the club was a good value for their dues paid. Members believed strongly that we should maintain the services they enjoy with modest annual dues increases. This year, modest will be less so than in the past because of the significant increases in health, disability, and earthquake insurances. We will also look to improve services as much as we can without spending too much, but by looking at productivity and different ways of doing things. Staff courtesy and friendliness came in at nearly 96 percent; staff competence, quality of service, club appearance, club communication, and overall experience came in at equally strong numbers. Athletics numbers were positive. Food and Beverage numbers continue to improve. The Sports Pub is making great strides in providing better service and preparing meals faster. One area I want to emphasize is a score that continues to drop precipitously – parking. It is the biggest area in which we are failing. While overall satisfaction remains high, parking is rated at 60 percent satisfied, meaning 40 percent are dissatisfied. Six years ago, parking dissatisfaction was at 22 percent. Catering covers have actually fallen over that period of time. We have chosen to keep membership numbers flat. The real issue is that more members use the club more often. This is good! Success leads to more success. We want to provide a workable solution that addresses our parking deficit. We have signed a development agreement with Mill Creek Residential Trust to build 225 additional parking spaces to accommodate our shortfall in parking. We listened to neighbors and members and devised a plan for a car and pedestrian tunnel that connects the two structures and addresses many neighbor concerns. We hope to change some minds and get neighborhood members to support our proposal.
Holidays are here Christmas and Hanukkah are incredible times of the year, during which families spend meaningful time together. I am looking forward to our children returning home for the holidays. Please find time to share with your loved ones the special celebrations at the club. We are lighting two trees again this year at our Holiday Open House; one improved tree in the Turnaround and one proudly decorated by members of our Holiday Decorating Committee. Their work is remarkable. Please look throughout The Winged M, on posters around the club, or in the MACitivies weekly email for specific information on events. Many fill to capacity quickly, so I encourage you to make reservations early so you do not miss these events. The Holiday Fashion Show sold out in three hours last month, so next year the committee is adding an evening show.
A trip to Boston This fall my wife and I visited our son in Boston for the first time since he left for football camp in mid-August. It’s hard to describe how much you miss someone who has been at home with you for the past 19 years. We had the opportunity to spend valuable time with Max between football practice, his studies, and a football game. Although our freshman didn’t make it into the game, it was exciting to see him on the sidelines with his teammates, and the camaraderie the team has for one another. The Crimson won in the last 90 seconds, which made the game that much more exciting. Seeing your son standing on the sidelines is difficult when you are used to watching him start. As you climb the athletic ladder you have to put in your sweat and bide your time. Patience is a lesson that we have to learn along the way. I encourage parents in MAC programs or others to advocate for your athletes, but understand that there are far more athletes than there are spots on a team. Disappointment is difficult for athletes and their parents, but patience is a virtue along the way. Lastly, while in Boston, we watched the Red Sox celebrate their World Series victory with a parade. Red Sox fans know how to party! The weather was warm, sunshine plentiful, and the leaves just beginning to change. I encourage you to make the most of our festive season around the club. From my family to your family, may your Hanukkah and Christmas holidays be special and full of celebration, love and the appreciation of our blessings. –Norm, Val, Kaitlin, Max and Madison Rich WM DECEMBER 2013

Longtime member Mike Bergmann was recently honored with one of Portland Monthly magazine’s annual Light a Fire awards for his work as an “extraordinary volunteer.� Bergmann, who works at Nike, led the effort to rebuild Roosevelt High School’s dilapidated athletic facilities, in particular, the school’s track. His efforts, which began in 2007, resulted in a new facility and a community center for the St. John’s neighborhood. And in 2013, for the first time in 54 years, a Roosevelt relay team placed at state championships. The project was captured in the mini-documentary More than Just an Oval. Before the project, Bergmann had also founded the PDXC youth cross-country program.
MAC Scholar Athlete and Central Catholic senior Kyle Thompson returned to the top step of the podium at the OSAA 6A Cross Country Championship meet at Lane Community College in Eugene in November. Thompson won the meet as a sophomore before finishing third last year. This year, he pulled away from his closest rival with 200 meters left, comfortably winning by five seconds, and helping Central Catholic to a dominant team performance. The Rams scored 33 points to second place Sheldon’s 94. Thompson also notched second and fourth place finishes in the 3,000 and 1,500 meter races, respectively, in the Oregon 6A Track and Field Championships last spring.
MAC Member Events Manager Abby DenUyl received the coveted Wooden Hawk award, presented annually at the Private Club Marketing Professionals Conference, for her presentation and work on the MAC Passport and club-wide reading program. MAC hosted the 2013 conference. During the event, managers from each club give presentations on a variety of topics. Each year, the best presentation is given the award. DenUyl won the Wooden Hawk on behalf of the club, and MAC now has the honor of keeping the trophy until next year’s conference. DenUyl and her Member Events team are already planning a new club wide program for 2014.
When MAC Scholar Athlete Saskia McNairy delivered a kill down the center of the court at the OSAA 6A Volleyball Championships, it closed the book on a huge upset, and delivered Lakeride High School with its first ever volleyball championship. Lakeridge beat a heavily favored Central Catholic team 3-1, and finished the season 26-2. McNairy led the team with 24 kills and a .328 perentage in the finals match. McNairy is also a standout on the track, winning the heptathlon dash at the USATF Region 13 Championship in July nad running on Lakeridge’s 4x400-meter relay team during the 2013 state championship meet. McNairy also volunteers at youth sports camps. DECEMBER 2013
Before the PGA’s biggest names take the course at Augusta National Golf Club for April’s Masters Tournament, junior member Ethan Tseng will be there. Tseng, age 9, won the Pacific Northwest Regionals – representing Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska – in the drive, chip, and putt competition for juniors. Ethan is one of only 11 children in the country to make the finals. He has been competing in golf since he was 6 through U.S. Kids Golf and Oregon Golf Association Tournaments. Ethan is in fourth grade at Ainsworth, and also plays tennis at MAC, and cello with the Metropolitan Youth Symphony. His parents are Pei-Li Wang and Daniel Tseng.

If you are experiencing chronic feelings of heaviness in your legs, or they “just feel tired� and nothing helps but putting them up, you may be experiencing venous congestion. Compression stockings may help the ache but won’t correct the problem, and left untreated venous congestion can cause serious long-term effects.

uring this season I like to reflect on the year that just passed. It was a successful one for MAC Athletics. Participation was up in many programs and members earned numerous awards, including national titles, regional Ed Stoner championships, and ATHLETIC DIRECTOR much more. But following last month’s column, I started wondering about the value of trophies and their impact on the lessons provided by sports. Pierre de Coubertin said, “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.” One would be hard pressed to believe the medals don’t matter, given the pomp around their presentation; and why not, it does signify a major accomplishment. However, what message does it send to our kids? You only matter if you get a medal. And, if you don’t get a medal what does that say about me as a parent or coach? Thoughts such as these have helped make a $3 billion trophy business, and led to trophies being given no matter the outcome or effort. That certainly goes against the Olympic grain, and may not help develop children’s resilience and willingness to persevere. A September New York Times op-ed piece told parents they should ask one question when considering what activities to select for their child: “Which kids get awards?” If the answer was, “Everybody gets a trophy,” they argued that you should find another program. Science has shown awards to be powerful motivators, but constant recognition causes children to underachieve, and fails to teach them that in life, you often lose more than you win, even if you are good at something. “When children make mistakes, our job should not be to spin those loses into decorated victories. Instead, our job is to help kids overcome setbacks, to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss, and to graciously congratulate the child who succeeded when they failed.” Doing so can be a gift that lasts a lifetime. See the full article at the AD blog on www.theMAC.com. It has been another great year at MAC, regardless of how many awards we have won; and I look forward to see you enjoying the holiday season at the club. WM

he season is upon us when we gather with family and friends – from across the world to across the country or down the street. Many members gather at the club as part of their holiday tradition. The club is a special place to belong, especially during this festive time of year. Whether you come to work out and release stress or to unwind with a MACtini in the Men’s Bar, the club is busy with engaging classes, tournaments and social events for everyone.

Bar, Sous Chef Phil Oswalt returned to Newport to defend his title in the Newport Seafood competition. Not only did he win for a second year in the professional category, he and his team also won the People’s Choice award. The entire culinary team shined this year, from weekly updated menus and special beer dinners in the Sports Pub to our premier catered events throughout the club. It takes more than a village, it takes an army to create and serve the nearly half a million meals served each year in the club. To all the staff who set rooms, wait tables, bartend, prepare culinary treats, create buffets to admire, wash dishes and clean up each day and night, thank you! Dedicated as the staff is, MAC could not be the vibrant club and community it is without the commitment of the members. As I admire the decorations each year it reminds me of the countless hours of dedication the members give back to the club in committees, as boosters, volunteers, competitors and diners (my personal favorite). On behalf of the entire Food and Beverage Department, thank you for making MAC the special and unique club it is. We wish all of our members Happy Holidays. Get ready for 2014 as many wonderful experiences are in store! WM

Coming to Oregon to work for Evans Products Company, he met and married Cathy Huntley in 1968. He retired as General Counsel of FEI Corp. in 1998. During retirement, he enjoyed traveling, playing with grandchildren and walking his dog, Sunny. He is survived by his wife, Cathy; sons, Ted, James and Andrew; and granddaughters, Cassidy and Caitlyn Bernhard. He was preceded in death by his mother, Roberta Rouda; his father; and his sister.

She was a graduate of Grant High School and the University of Oregon, where she earned a bachelor’s degree and was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. On Sept. 17, 1949, she married Stan Boquist, and they had more than 64 years of a great, fun, “lovin’” and exciting marriage with much traveling, golfing and family camping. She had wonderful memories of their home at Black Butte as well as beach trips and winter breaks to Palm Desert or Hawaii. Kay was an accomplished seamstress, water color painter and bridge player – “Tuesday and Friday...a must!” – and over the years worked with a number of different crafts. She was very active in her early years with the Assistance League and the D.A.R., as well as other organizations.

Louise Mary Bernard Gatch June 17, 1917-Oct. 6, 2013 Louise Mary Bernard Gatch died peacefully on Sunday, Oct 6. She was 96. Louise was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on June 17, 1917 to Philip and Madelaine Bernard. The family lived in Edmonton until Louise was 10 years old, and, although the winters were brutally cold, she often described this carefree and semirural childhood as the happiest time of her life. In 1927, the family moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, where her father was the Spanish consul. Eventually, Louise took a job with United Airlines as a ticket counter agent. The job also involved setting the blocks on the planes, and she often remarked with pride that the responsibilities were unusual for women at that time. In the waning days of World War II, she accepted a transfer to the Portland Office and moved to the United States. On April 19, 1947, Louise married Merle T. “Bill” Gatch. They were married 56 years until Bill passed away in February, 2003. Louise and Bill had two daughters, Suzanne
and Dolores. When the girls were older, Louise went back to work in the retail fashion industry at Meier & Frank, Nordstrom, and Helen’s of Course. During this time she worked to achieve another milestone and in 1967 became an American citizen; a very proud moment for her and her family. Louise stayed involved with MAC all her life. She chaired the Women’s Social Activities Committee, was an avid tennis player, and played water volleyball with the MerryMacs until she was 95. At 94 she decided to pursue her one big passion – poetry. A web site was created to display and access her work. Louise is survived by her daughters, Suzanne Gatch and Dolores Warner; grandsons, Michael Wingard and Matt Wingard; great-grandchildren, Hunter Pico and Addison Wingard; and sister, Agnes Hornby of Canada. Donations in her memory may be made to CNEWA or St. Cyril Catholic Church, Wilsonville.

Juniors age 14 and older are now allowed in the clubhouse without an accompanying adult from opening to closing throughout the year. The Board of Trustees approved this change to junior hours as a pilot program through the current school year in recognition that for most high school students, the traditional school day is a thing of the past. Class schedules are more flexible and vary from student to student. There are no changes to the areas that juniors age 14 and older may use.

Doing what I love, thanks to OHSU.
I injured my back when I was 27. Off and on, I endured extraordinary pain. Then I discovered the OHSU Spine Center. The difference was in their team approach: They made me feel welcome, listened, provided options and empowered me with the tools to take control of the pain myself. OHSU gave me the chance to take back my life, without surgery or medication. And now, look what I’m able to do: What I love. That’s what life’s all about.

Physical Plant Manager Dwayne Brantley retires in June after 48 years working at MAC.
From Pageboy to Plant Manager, Brantley has Seen the Evolution of the Clubhouse F
ew members or staff have seen the evolution of MAC’s clubhouse. Even fewer have seen it from the ground up. Only MAC’s Physical Plan Manager Dwayne Brantley has seen, repaired, built or remodeled areas of MAC’s clubhouse for more that 48 years. In June 2014, Brantley retires from the club and trades in his signature blue uniform for some regular clothes. Brantley started his career with MAC as a pageboy in 1965. He was hired three months before the opening of Phase 1, which includes the current Ballroom and 50-meter Pool. “I led one of the first tours of Phase 1,” says Brantley. As a pageboy, he would stand by the Front Desk in his red jacket and run messages to members throughout the club. He would also fill in for Front Desk staff like Fay Sasser when they went on lunch or break. “I figure I knew four to five thousand members by face and name,” says Brantley. At that time, the check-in system was much different than today. “We had a doorboard sheet at the Front Desk with all the member names. When a member came in, we put a green pin next to their name,” he adds. After graduating from Grant High School, Dwayne was hired in the club’s maintenance department and worked swing shift, which was Thursday through Monday from 2:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. “I was usually by myself and when something broke or needed to be fixed, you learned how to do it yourself,” says Brantley. During this phase of his career, he saw how Phase 2 was built from the ground up. Phase 2, which includes the Front Desk and iconic barrel roof, opened less than 10 years later in 1974. Through the construction Brantley watched the club being built while also building his own career understanding the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and carpentry work at the club. In 1977, Brantley was promoted to maintenance supervisor after John Leichner retired. Six years later, in 1983, the club’s
Parking Structure and Phase 3 opened, and Brantley was promoted to director of the physical plant. For the next 15 years Brantley oversaw hundreds of remodeling projects and thousands of maintenance projects as well as raising his three children with his wife, Joyce. An interesting tidbit is that Joyce worked in the club’s kitchen before the two were married. She went on to a 25-year teaching career and has since retired. In 1999, the club opened the most recent addition, the Loprinzi Wing. By then, Brantley kept nearly 600,000 square feet of space and equipment operating effectively. During the next 10 years, Brantley oversaw a couple hundred more remodeling projects and likely another 1,000 repair projects. “I have worked for nine general managers and 48 presidents,” says Brantley. “I knew each one, not as buddies, but enough to consider them friends.” Currently the club is trying to capture five decades of knowledge stored inside Brantley’s head. He has been working closely with Facilities Director Elsa Lemoine. “Dwayne has a understanding of the clubhouse that is unique and we don’t want to lose that knowledge,” says Lemoine. During the transition, Brantley is serving as a consultant and members won’t see him running around the club as much. However, when members and staff do see him, he will almost certainly be in his blue uniform. Before Brantley retires, the club is interested in any stories members, staff or vendors want to share about him. Stories may be emailed to cdraper@themac.com or dropped off at the Facilities Office on the third floor. Anyone looking for retirement gift ideas may consider a gift card. Dwayne is likely to need new clothes after June. –Michole Jensen WM DECEMBER 2013

MAF Celebrates 22 Years with New Energy, a New Look and a New Plan for the Future BY JENN DIRECTOR KNUDSEN
A
lexa Mull lettered at Aloha High School in soccer, swimming, and track and field. While keeping up her grades, heart rate and savings for college, she began working as a certified nurse’s assistant (CNA) in a dementia unit in Hillsboro. And, determined to start college early to pursue her fast-track dream of working in orthopedics, Mull took courses at Portland Community College’s Rock Creek campus and earned her high school diploma ahead of schedule. Talented, driven, college-bound and cash-strapped, Mull applied for and won one of the 2012 Joe Loprinzi Scholarships offered through the Multnomah Athletic Foundation (MAF), the non-profit partner of Multnomah Athletic Club. The foundation’s tagline is “Achievement Through Athletics.” And like the Loprinzi Scholarship recipients before her, Mull represents exactly what the award – and Foundation itself – strives to support and recognize. “We specifically support character- and confidence-building opportunities for youth with an emphasis on athletic participation,” says Julie Vigeland, MAF president and former vice president of MAC’s Board of Trustees. “While our funding amounts are still quite small, we can make a difference in the lives of young people.” And how. Mull’s Loprinzi Scholarship award of $8,000 was a game-changer as she headed to Pacific University in Forest Grove. “It definitely took a lot of pressure off my family,” says Mull, 19, a senior with two college-age siblings. “(The award) went directly to tuition, which didn’t cover it entirely. And it gets more expensive every year.” Mull continues, “The scholarship also gives me pride and motivation to continue as a scholar athlete, because I know I can handle a vigorous schedule.” A fulltime student who works 16 hours on weekends and is on Pacific University’s track team, she’s preparing to participate later this year in her first heptathlon.
“The scholarship also gives me pride and motivation to continue as a scholar athlete, because I know I can handle a vigorous schedule.” – ALEXA MULL
MAF LOOKS TO RAISE AWARENESS The Multnomah Athletic Foundation was founded during MAC’s centennial, 1991, by George Spencer, John Herman, Marilyn Lindgren and Thomas MacKenzie. After two decades, the foundation remains a relative unknown to much of MAC’s membership. The organization’s leaders believe that if MAC’s 20,000-plus members knew more intimately the foundation’s mission, its work and how they could personally engage in it, MAF could be an even more influential body in its next 20 years and beyond. “I have been involved in amateur athletics all my life and a member of MAC virtually all that time (about 50 years),” says George Spencer, MAF co-founder, former president of both the nonprofit and MAC, and current MAF board member. “The foundation is able to reward and expose all the good things young athletes do” both on and off the athletic field. Says Lisa Bendt, MAF’s executive director, “Not everyone gets to be the star athlete, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get to be involved in athletics.” Continued on page 28 DECEMBER 2013

27
MAF Celebrates 22 Years Continued from page 27 To that end, the foundation provides scholarships not only for individual high-achieving student athletes like Mull, but also community grants for local non-profit organizations who stand for the foundation’s mission. The recent work in creating a new logo, tagline and website was a process to explain, expand and revitalize what the Foundation does. The resulting manifesto reads in part: “…Participation in athletics can help youth reach their full potential. Athletics teaches life skills and builds character to carry them into the future, to prosper in our community. Athletics teaches us to compete, to give our all, to persevere, and to be graceful in victory or defeat.” “Success in life isn’t always to be the runner,” Bendt says. “Success in life is sometimes about supporting the runner.”
HELPING PROGRAMS THAT HELP OTHERS
“ They’re not watching other kids ride their bikes away; they’re with them. It gives them a sense of independence and a fuller life,” – ANN DONACA-SULLIVAN, BIKE FIRST

DECEMBER 2013
In In the last five years alone, the foundation has put about $319,750 toward 154 individual scholarships (the Loprinzi award is only one of the programs available) and provided 89 community grants totaling more than $120,000. One local non-profit on the receiving end of MAF’s grants is Peninsula Wrestling Club, housed in the Peninsula Park Community Center & Pool in North Portland. Roy Pittman, the wrestling club’s head coach and director, has been a MAF grant recipient for the past seven years, his club receiving approx. $2,000 each year. “We use the term ‘wrestling’ to mean we all wrestle in life. We wrestle to make better choices; it’s not all about winning,” Pittman says. And he’d know. Having been involved in the club for nearly 45 years, he’s seen about 200 kids a week – more than 80,000 kids, including five Olympic wrestlers – come through its doors. The grant money goes toward expected things, like costs associated with the wrestlers’ regional travel to competitions, as well as the unexpected, such as families’ meals. “Many things we take for granted, a lot of people don’t have,” Pittman says of many of his athletes, who range in age from 4 to adult and who pay $80 per 10-week session. Not all his wrestlers can afford that, so MAF grants also subsidize session fees. Pittman gives the example of one young man, now 22, 6-foot-2 and 280 lbs., who first came to Peninsula Wrestling Club as a 6-year-old.Years later, untethered, he left home and nearly dropped out of high school. Under Pittman’s guidance, and the influence of sport and the stick-to-itiveness it engenders, this individual now is a college senior and is looking toward wrestling in the 2016 Olympic Games. Pittman, who is also a MAC member, says he often takes an athlete or two from the wrestling club to work out at MAC, where they get to use its state-of-the-art equipment. “I like to show kids this is where you could be, if you’d like to be here,” Pittman says. Ann Donaca-Sullivan, founder and director of Bike First! in Northeast Portland, is another MAF community grant recipient. Since 2005, Bike First! has received between $700 and $2000 annually and was named the 2013 Impact Award winner. Inspired by her son, Cody, who has Down syndrome, Donaca-Sullivan founded Bike First! to ensure all people who want to ride a bike learn to do so. She explains that riding a bike is inherently a social and athletic activity; being unable to ride a bike is itself a handicap. But once children learn to ride, “They’re not watching other kids ride their bikes away; they’re with them. It gives them a sense of independence and a fuller life,” Donaca-Sullivan says, noting Cody, who turns 18 on Christmas Eve, learned to ride at age 10. In eight years, Bike First! has helped 400 people learn to ride a bike. The people it’s taught have been ages 8 to 57, and have numerous challenges, including cancer, epilepsy, Down syndrome and autism. An army of volunteers and Bike First! staff members run bike-skill camps every June that consist of five sessions a day for three weeks. Much of Bike First!’s overhead is covered through generous donations, including the gym space at Concordia University, whose donors Larry and Dori Brown are MAC members. Still, the camps cost $250, and many of the participants cannot afford that sticker price. Donaca-Sullivan knows first-hand how the club’s mission – and thus the foundation’s – meshes with her own family’s ideals about athletics and access. “I feel so blessed that they believe in us so much, including supporting people with disabilities,” she says of both MAC and MAF, its non-profit partner. “They are driven to support all people.”
A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE In 2016 – the same year the wrestler from the Peninsula Wrestling Club hopes to compete in the Olympics – Multnomah Athletic Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary. Through its rebranding project and additional work, MAF already has been reaching out to MAC members about its efforts and how they can extend the outreach even more through personal engagement. For example, Bendt, MAF’s executive director, urges MAC members to introduce the foundation to local non-profits that might make ideal community grant recipients or attend and help with an event. And members should consider committing resources – both volunteering time and money – to the foundation and its grantees. Yes, members can, via their July statements, contribute $15 to MAF, but they also can consider creating honoraria, giving to established scholarship funds and even putting the foundation in their estate plans. The foundation’s new push already has borne fruit. Last year, a new formal community grant process and committee were established to support the updated application and guidelines. In 2012, the foundation received 17 requests for community grants and funded 15 of them. In February 2013 alone, MAF received 12 requests. One year later – in February 2014 – the Foundation is hosting an educational evening with an outstanding panel discussion about the impact of giving in our community, Bendt explains. Panelists include Joey Harrington, president of the Harrington Family Foundation; Kay Abramowitz, partner at Ater Wynne; and Laura Winter, vice president for advised funds, with the Oregon Community Foundation “The privilege of serving with the Multnomah Athletic Foundation is the rare opportunity of touching lives in a direct and unique way,” Vigeland, MAF president, says. “My hope for the near future is that we will be able to grow the foundation to the point where we can provide increased support in terms of both larger grants and grants to more non-profits.” She continues: “We are making a difference, and we can support these excellent nonprofits (and student athletes) in even stronger ways when we grow the foundation. As a MAC member, I am proud of this outreach to our collective communities.” WM

[DESIGNING A NEW LOOK] With fresh energy and a revamped mission, Multnomah Athletic Foundation decided it was also time, after two decades, for a new look. The Foundation hired Portland-based design and branding firm INDUSTRY to create a new logo. Great design and messaging is about building meaning between an organization and its stakeholders. It should provide insight into the values, culture and aspirations of an organization. It should communicate to people the purpose of the organization, its activities and ways that they can engage with the organization.

[THE CHALLENGE]
[THE SOLUTION]
There were two primary tensions to be resolved with the brand identity of the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. The first was creating a new identity that communicated the Foundation is an independent entity with deep ties to
[THE PROCESS] Through a series of work sessions with Foundation board members, INDUSTRY built a brand strategy that resolved many of the challenges with the existing brand identity and communications. Alignment with a range of key stakeholders on this strategy created a clear framework for decision-making throughout the process and for the Foundation going forward.
The updated brand identity for the Foundation has two primary components – the visual design or “look and feel” of the Foundation, and clear, focused messaging about the Foundation’s mission.
The visual identity for the Foundation finds a balance between tradition and innovation. Key design elements connect to the traditions of MAC while new elements bring fresh energy that represents the need for the Foundation to keep evolving to stay relevant and to connect with new members. The new identity combines the classic look of a civic organization with modern elements of color, form and bold typography. The new messaging expresses the authentic point of view of the Foundation and provides clarity of its mission and ways for MAC and community members to support that mission. The tagline, Achievement Through Athletics, captures the essence of the Foundation’s mission, while a new manifesto is meant to inform and inspire Foundation and MAC members.

Microdermabrasion: The Start Have you dreamed of a bright radiant complexion infused with light? Has repetitive sun exposure, inflammatory reactions and hormonal disorders left their imprint on your skin? Irregularities on your complexion can be helped with Microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is a process that eliminates dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of the skin. The process is gentle, noninvasive and over time, it can help restore the “glow” to your skin. Microdermabrasion is accompanied by a relaxing massage and finished with a mask. At Faces Unlimited, we dovetail our Microdermabrasion treatment with our famous signature facials. Our theory: Microdermabrasion is the start to regaining the translucency that is the province of youthful skin – Call us for a consult. Great skin can happen at any age. “Take care of your precious skin…it has to last a lifetime” – Dr. Nadia Payot

Group Gets in Gear for Holiday Performances “I think singing during the holidays is one of the best things a person can do for their own enjoyment and the enjoyment of others,� says new Balladeers Director Scott Tuomi, as his 35-member male ensemble begins its round of seasonal concerts. This season, the Balladeers kick off their holiday activities at the MAC Tree Lighting ceremony, followed closely by an appearance at the Festival of Trees, a choral celebration that involves a number of local groups. “It’s really an honor to be chosen for the Festival of Trees. This speaks to the group’s continuing improvement as one of the area’s better men’s choruses,� says Balladeers Chair Dan Scribner. Mid-month, it’s back to MAC for a performance at an Early Bird Christmas Breakfast,

probably followed by another outside performance at Park Place. Although he hasn’t chosen the group’s seasonal repertoire yet, Tuomi says he expected mostly “standards and pieces the group has performed in the past. I am looking to expand on what we already know.� Among the Balladeers’ goals this December is to “contribute to the holiday spirit at the club and also to the holiday mood of the singers. I think the holiday season presents one of our best opportunities to connect with the community at the club and with the larger community beyond the club,� adds Tuomi.

MACORPS
Mark MLK Day with Service Event Join MACorps volunteers for the fourth annual Goose Hollow Neighborhood Cleanup on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 20. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to volunteer together and start a new tradition for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Students have the day off school, and many businesses offer time off for employees to do community service. Need more incentive? Middle and high school students can receive credit toward their schools’ community service requirements. A host of club members wearing bright red MACorps vests during the cleanup also creates visibility for this volunteer group and goodwill for MAC. Volunteers meet in the Turnaround at 8:30 a.m. for assignments. In partnership with SOLV, volunteers are provided with maps, MACorps vests, litterbags, garbage pickup tools and protective gloves. After fanning out in the Goose Hollow Neighborhood to collect litter, volunteers return to MAC to debrief, relax and get better acquainted over coffee, hot chocolate and refreshments. The actual cleanup takes about 90 minutes. Make this a New Year’s resolution. To become a part of MACorps, members may edit their website profile and choose the group “MACorps Volunteers.” To register for the cleanup project, call 503-517-7265 or go to theMAC.com.

Happy Holidays GROWING CONFIDENCE AND DEMAND $54,000,000 CLOSED IN 2013
Like the tree in the Turnaround, the MelloMacs shine brightly in December. Beginning with the Holiday Open House and Tree Lighting Ceremony festivities on Thursday, Dec. 5, the month includes singing for the Children’s Holiday Party, and culminates with their annual Christmas show for the VA hospital at Fort Vancouver. The MelloMacs have performed for hospitalized veterans at the facility faithfully every December for decades. In addition to the regular holiday music performance at the VA Hospital, the group adds a stirring a capella national anthem and a medley of patriotic songs honoring those who faithfully serve and have served our country. No matter how gelid the winter night’s weather, the reactions of the injured vets melts even the coldest of hearts. There are few dry eyes after this concert, within both the group and the audience. It is the desire of the MelloMacs to touch the hearts of their audience as well as tickle their ears, and Monday night rehearsals sharpen skills and voices to achieve that goal. No voice was ever unwelcome in the group, and any adult MAC member is absolutely welcome to sing along on Monday nights at 7 p.m. in the third floor Activities Classroom. And for those who don’t want to join this fun group, at least they can sing along to the movie Grease in January (see below). Until then, the MelloMacs wish each and all a very happy holiday season, a prosperous new year and a merry Christmas. –Leon Drennan

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Sing Along to the Sounds of Grease More than 200 members enjoyed singing along with the Sound of Music last January in the Grand Ballroom. They witnessed the Balladeers yodeling and tossing “beer foam� during the Lonely Goatherd, the MelloMacs running uncontrollably across the stage during Do, Re, Mi, and some even joined in creating their own improv performances as nuns and brides. In short, it was crazy fun! The sing-along is back and this year, Grease is the word! The Social Activities, MelloMacs and Balladeers committees are teaming up again on Friday, Jan. 24 when members and their guests are invited into the Grand Ballroom for a night of Pink Ladies, T-Birds, and good old rock ’n’ roll. The movie is a sing-along version, which means subtitles for songs are posted on the screen. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the movie begins at 7:30 p.m. Theatre and cocktail seating are available to enjoy the movie, singing Continued on page 58

MAC Dance is making some exciting changes for the 2014 annual recital at the Newmark Theatre. In the past, all recital preparation has taken place during the spring session.

Although MAC’s recitals have been very well received, MAC dancers and staff can benefit from a more thorough approach that showcases the program and its students at their best. Starting in January, MAC’s format for recital preparation changes. Dancers in Level 1 and up who register for designated winter session recital classes are automatically enrolled through spring session, measured for costumes, and asked to commit to the rehearsal and performance at the Newmark /ˆi>Ă“Ă…iÑ ›Ñ-ޛ`>ç]Ă‘ ޛiĂ‘n¾Ñ Â Â›ĂˆÂ‹ĂˆĂ“i›ÓÑ>Ă“Ă“i›dance is mandatory.

Once a participant reaches an established point threshold in a category, they are promoted to elite status. Winter Blitzers can exercise anywhere at MAC. A conversion chart guides participants as to how to convert their efforts into points entered in personal log sheets at the E&C Room’s center desk. Generally, every hour of exercise earns four points, although more points may be earned on E&C Room machines. The total points accumulated during the five-week Winter Blitz determine winners in each category. After the event, the E&C Committee hosts a party with appetizers, beverages and awards.

The masters started a six-week vacation after the championship meet, although many swimmers use the break to work on conditioning. So if there is a random swimmer or two swimming underwater for what may seem like too long, don’t worry. They’re good at it. Besides, the 2014 season holds several opportunities the team is working toward. FINA World Masters Championships is held in Montreal, Canada in late July, and USA Synchro Masters National Championships is in Panama City, Fla.

Nose clips are arguably the most essential part of a synchro swimmer’s equipment because they prevent water from entering a swimmer’s nose while they are upside down, allowing for longer periods of time underwater. Regardless of that hiccup, the trio received a gold medal. Felix Sterrett was the best two month old to ever attend a synchro competition. The indoor pool at the West Mesa Aquatic Center in Albuquerque was hot and loud, but baby Felix was relaxed and perfectly content the entire four days of competition. He is an honorary member of the team, having practiced for nine months with his mom, Jennifer Sterrett swam up until eight hours before giving birth. Lisa Virtue, MAC’s Aquatics Manager, joined the team in Albuquerque, keeping the team on schedule and being the best cheerleader in the stands.

PILATES
Celebrating Inner Beauty and Health We care about what we value. We care for others. We care deeply about our homes, children and families, for our visions, values and missions. We care about our causes and careers. Yet for many women, it is at the expense of caring for their own health and wellness. If you’re a man reading this, and have wives, daughters, sisters and mothers, we thank you, and hope you too will join us in this effort to help women embrace their true worth, power and inner beauty.
Future trends in self-care Often women see leisure time for themselves as a luxury, not a practice. We in the holistic health care field hope to see a new trend emerging called self-ness. No longer will women deny, abandon, or repress self needs in sacrifice for others. We confuse self-care with being selfish or self-centered. In doing this we deplete our most valuable resource, our own personal power and health. We also deny our loved ones their most valuable resource, ourselves
Pilates instructor Talia Laird works with a member during a recent open house. healthy and available. We must look deeply within and ask, “What is the legacy we want to leave for our daughters and granddaughters?” Are we modeling a positive self-image to be “caught” by those around us? In Pilates we are trained to not only deeply move bodies, but also to care deeply about the whole of our clients. The mental and emotional, physical and spiritual. Included
in that equation for future trends is the me factor or self, leading toward healthy habits that lead toward healthy self-care practices.
Pilates portraits and self-ness makeovers For many women, embracing their true beauty is often squelched for fear of being seen as “too much.” Afraid of shining a bit

ATHLETICS too brightly, they dim the light to not be seen. An extreme example of this would be the family photo. The idea of posing for a picture often brings stress and even anxiety. The MAC Pilates instructor team had an opportunity this fall to walk the walk, so to speak. Member Julie Lamprose, Pilates client and owner of Julie Lamprose Skin Care and Make-up Artistry, offered to give us all makeovers and skin care advice, along with a beautiful professional portrait by Tori Ava Photography. You may not consider a makeover or self portrait as self-care, but what we discovered and experienced was that and so much more. We discovered that inner beauty and health can and should be celebrated and even documented as gifts, not just for others, but more importantly for ourselves. “Many women see this as a superficial indulgence. They deny themselves of this experience, rather than see it as a gift they give themselves at every stage of life,” says Victoria Pavlatos of Tori Ava Photography. She began her business as a way to connect with women, to know their stories. She was saddened by the many women who never had their photos taken through their lifetime. “A mother’s existence is for everyone else,” she states. “Never documenting that they were ever there!” She saw mothers passing on their insecurities to their own daughters. Such a tragedy. Her work grew into a passion to help women see their own worth and beauty, connecting and creating a fun, relaxed healing experience, freeing and empowering.
Mind, body and spirit hard wired In our health field we are reminded that mind, body, and spirit are hard wired together; each impacts the other. When one part is tired or depleted, all parts are tired and depleted. By working on and restoring one part, all parts benefit. Taking care of the physical part, through Pilates or a beautiful makeover, for example, is the easiest way to make the greatest impact on this integrated system and live in greater joy. Here are a few self-care principles to cultivate and practice: 1. The idea that self-ness is selfish must be broken. A new paradigm must begin for us to actually embrace self-ness as a practice. Self is not selfish. Continued on page 74 DECEMBER 2013

Marianne Williamson states: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, quite the contrary, it is that we are powerful beyond measure.

WALKING AND HIKING
Winter Walks and Great Gifts Make for Happy Hikers this Holiday Season T
here is nothing like the warmth of home after a cold winter walk or hike. Whether out for an urban walk, a hike in the woods or a snowshoe trip in the mountains, there is an inherent sense of accomplishment upon arriving home. Hot beverages and food seem to taste so much better when they are rewards for a job well done. MAC Walking and Hiking Committee offers a variety of ways to get everyone outside throughout the month of December, so walkers can appreciate the return home for warmth and holiday cheer. On Wednesday, Dec. 11, join Wes Post on a Cape Horn hike and see the new waterfall bridge. Hike through lovely forest, see picturesque views of the Columbia River from basalt cliffs and visit Nancy Russell Overlook. The eight-mile loop closes in February for six months, so do not miss out on this winter hike opportunity.

Annually named one of the top ski resorts in North America and beyond, Sun Valley and the breathtaking Sawtooth Mountain range provide the backdrop for shared experiences and meaningful connections with friends and family.

With no lines for the gondola and high speed lifts, Sun Valley offers easy access to every snow terrain your group could want, from impeccably groomed cruising runs to steep mogul fields to bowls. Those who prefer Nordic touring and skate skiing enjoy the nearby Sawtooth Mountains and Galena Lodge, with local equipment rentals available. Other fun options include inner tubing on Dollar, relaxing and socializing in hot pools, and trout fishing in nearby rivers. The history and tradition found in Sun Valley is unmatched.

ATHLETICS Leave behind the cloudy valley in favor of the sunny mountain. Last season, skiers coined MAC’s bus coordinator Susie Niedermeyer Neighbors the “Sun Goddess,â€? as there were six clear days out of the eight Thursdays on which the bus ran. The bus ride is half the fun. There is coffee service on the way up and surprise vendors sometimes serve libations and snacks on the way home. MAC members can bring non-member friends and family.

Sunday Ski Bus Get ready to hit the slopes with the Sunday ski program, which runs four consecutive weeks in February. The program offers something for everyone in the family and a variety of options are available to choose from for kids as well as adults. Bus transportation makes the ride up to the mountain relaxing for everyone, so bring your friends and join us this year at Mt. Hood Meadows. The Sno-Blaster Program is designed for children in first through eighth grades (no exceptions) and is a day-long, supervised program. This is a terrific program for kids and a good way to improve skiing or snowboarding quickly. In this program, your child is supervised at all times either by the Mount Hood Meadows ski instructor during lessons, and the MAC chaperones during lunch. Lessons are scheduled twice a day for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Chaperoned bus transportation is offered to all club members and their guests. The bus to Meadows loads at MAC >Ă“Ă‘ĂŽ\Ă•ĂĂ‘>¾–¾Ñ>›`Ă‘Â’i>äiĂˆĂ‘Ă“ÂˆiĂ‘VÂ’ĂžLĂ‘LiĂ“ĂĽii݄ ĂŽ\}yÂŠĂŒĂ‘>¾–¾Ñ/ˆiĂ‘LĂžĂˆĂ‘Ă…iĂ“ĂžĂ…Â›ĂˆĂ‘Ă“Â Ă‘Ă“ÂˆiĂ‘ Ă‘ ÓÞś>Šޛ`Ă‘>Ă“Ă‘>°°Å Ì‹–>Ă“i’çÑy\Ă•ĂÑ°¾–¾ Prices vary for all programs.
