From Your President Dear Friends: I can hardly believe a year has passed since you all welcomed me to serve as City Club president. I have to say I enjoyed the experience much more than I thought I would, and with our incredible Board and staff and many other volunteers working alongside me, I always felt we could handle whatever came our way. And we have. It’s been a productive, surprising, and fun-filled year. The most important news is that we have received a determination from the IRS about the audit, and all is well. The IRS agent confirmed that our organization “continues to qualify for exemption from Federal income tax” and that our 2013 and 2014 tax returns are accepted as filed. Thus, our 501(c)(4) nonprofit status is preserved, and no additional taxes are owed. We all owe a debt of gratitude to City Club officers Tom Kenney, Ronnie Meade, Pat Amort, and Susan Smith Gray, as well as our general manager, Greg Fleming, and business manager, Debbie Nabozny, who devoted countless hours to ensuring this excellent result.

We are still working through lessons learned from this experience, but one unambiguous message is that we must continue to emphasize and highlight our mission as articulated in our Articles of Incorporation: “to promote the charitable, educational, ethical, artistic, and spiritual growth of the City, and to advance its general welfare . . .” It was clear to the IRS agent that much of what we do at the City Club enhances the community and makes a positive difference in people’s lives. We can all take pride in that recognition. As our fundraising effort continues this month, it’s good to be reminded of our role in enriching our community. Your support ensures that the City Club continues to serve local organizations and offer a welcoming place for individuals to connect and help each other. As of March 26, we have raised $107, 650. Thus, we are about $20,000 of our goal. We are so close! We want to raise the remaining funds through donations so that we will not have to borrow any more of our line of credit to get through the end of this fiscal year (April 30). While we have received enough sustaining donations to achieve the full match from Susan, more sustaining level gifts (of $3,000 or more) are certainly welcome, as are gifts of any amount. We have received donations from about 40% of our membership. If you aren’t part of that group, please consider joining your fellow members in showing your support of the City Club’s mission and its value in your life. Please come to our Member Appreciation Reception on April 8 (5-6 pm), so I can thank you all personally for your commitment to the City Club (see p. 1). And please join me at the 64th Annual Meeting on April 29 (see p. 1) to help me welcome our next president, Pat Amort. We will also be electing a new slate of officers, Board members, and Planning Council members as we give rousing thanks to this year’s volunteers for their stellar efforts on behalf of your City Club. I applaud you all! Stephanie Kadel Taras President

Members of the House Sub-Committee have identified areas around the Club that need some extra sprucing up. Our committee is small, so we need the help of additional members who are willing to come out and lend a hand. Please join us on Sunday, April 12, at 9:30 a.m. and help us put sparkle back into the Club we all love. If that’s too early, come when you can. Sign-up sheets will be at the front desk beginning Wednesday, April 1. Your help will be greatly appreciated!

The west is becoming civilized and when Butch and Sundance rob a train once too often, a special posse begins trailing them no matter where they run.

When they finally escape through sheer luck, Butch has another idea, “Let’s go to Bolivia.” Based on the exploits of the historical characters.

Community Outreach News On March 18, City Club members volunteered with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra to shepherd elementary school children from their school buses into Hill Auditorium for the A2SO’s annual youth concert. Our help was essential to smooth logistics and the safety of the students at this event that introduces 4,500 young people to the Symphony. Also in March, the Community Outreach committee was pleased to welcome two representatives from the United Way who introduced us to VolunteerWashtenaw.org. This online, searchable database helps match local agencies who need volunteers with people who want to help. The City Club will be using this database to identify volunteer opportunities for our members as well as varied options for our semi-annual donation drives (for food, school supplies, etc.). You can use the service yourself to look for opportunities to help. It’s free and user-friendly. Just type VolunteerWashtenaw.org into your Internet browser and take a look!

Be An Angel… If you’d like to be notified when the City Club is organizing a volunteer activity, please put your name on our Angels List. Just call the front desk and let Rachael know to add your name. We’ll send you an email whenever we’re planning a charitable activity: • Volunteer when it’s convenient for your schedule. • Contribute to in-kind efforts like participating in gift bag donations at holiday time. • We’ll find the agency that needs help and pass on the information to you. • No hassle for you. No commitment except to be on our list and receive information. • Receive an email when we need help and you can respond yes or no immediately. • No need to attend committee meetings.

From the Archives

“A Little Piece of History” Fifty years ago, April 1965… Phoebe Burt, House Chairman, reported: “Another fiscal year will soon be over for the Club. House funds are pretty well depleted due to necessary repairs, usually unexpected. Thanks for coping with all those pails in the hall for so long and we found that a leaky radiator seems to be the culprit.” Ms. Burt expressed her thanks to Prof. Hammett for all of his assistance―the person she called on for advice, which was often. Fifty years later we continue to be good stewards of our grand old house and are grateful to all of the members of the Physical Plant Committee who continue to keep it in good repair. The Easter Brunch in 1965 cost $1.75 for adults, $1.00 for children. The 1965 House Tour was described as STUPENDOUS! Due to the expense and inconvenience of the plastic floor coverings, guests were asked to adopt a unique Oriental custom by removing their shoes at the door of each home. They were encouraged to tuck some little slippers in their bags to use in the houses. Amberina Glass: An article announced that Founding Club member Elsie White and her husband, Albert White, were giving their Amberina Glass Collection to the Clements Memorial Library at the U of M. The collection, the result of many years of happy antiquing in the United States, was formed by both of their mothers who had received pieces for wedding gifts. Amberina Glass was produced between the 1880s-90s and became collectible after the formula was lost and could no longer be produced. Twenty-five years ago, April 1990… President Bartholomew reports, “Surely the happiest happening of the year for me is the naming of the three upstairs rooms: the library in honor of the first President, Gladys Hammett, and the two meeting rooms in honor of our two living founders, Margaret Towsley and Elsie White. Now the ‘club’ and ‘card’ rooms will be identified by significant names and imbued with a new meaning and tradition.” Mrs. Bartholomew received a letter from Mrs. Hammett’s daughter, Dorothy Allen, stating that, “although her mother was in failing health, she was delighted to know that the library was being named for her.” The Library Committee reported new acquisitions were Vidal’s Hollywood; The Bourne Ultimatum by Ludlum; and Savannah by Eugenia Price. At the Annual Meeting, Membership Chair, Lorna Prescott, announced plans to honor charter members. She said, “Thirty-nine years after our founding, there are still 116 charter members.” Two Founding members, Mrs. Towsley and Mrs. White, were also honored. This article concludes the series “From the Archives.” If you have a few minutes, visit the Hammett Library, on the City Club’s 2nd floor, and browse the bound copies of the magazine. Kudos to Past Presidents Lois Niehuss (1963-65) and Terri Bartholomew (1989-90)! Their engaging and detailed reports in the magazines provided a gold mine of information and interesting historical reading. Archives Committee 2014 – 2015 Patricia Huibregtse and Patricia Austin

Library News

Artist for the Month of April

Just as April Showers Bring May Flowers, April will find the library undergoing a bit of refurbishment that should be completed by May. Access to the collection will be maintained during the month.

Marlene Blum Exhibit: “The Yin and the Yang” Marlene is professionally trained in psychology, and she paints mostly from an interior world. The painting process is about the dance of the paint, the artist’s energy, mood, intention, and trust. When lost in the creation of a painting, Marlene enters another dimension of time, space, and a mystical process.

Also in May: Our library’s catalogue is now digitized and lives in the Cloud with just a bit of tweaking left to be done. In May you will receive directions on how to access our catalogue to browse, to determine the availability of books, to discover when a book on loan is due to be returned, etc. (Can you believe it??)

Marlene works in acrylics and loves to experiment with the versatility of the medium, including gels, glosses, pastes, and glazes. She incorporates transfers, stenciling, stamping, and collage into many of her pieces.

Come up and see me sometime, “Marian the librarian”

Our Volunteers Are Extraordinary

It seemed fitting to include all of these paintings in this exhibit, to share that an artist can paint from both her internal and external world. It is with pleasure that Marlene shares these pieces with you and the different sides of herself as an artist.

At the February meeting of the City Club Board of Directors, a courtesy resolution was passed to honor Tom Kenney, our treasurer, for simultaneously overseeing the City Club’s finances, orchestrating countless details for the IRS audit, guiding preparation of the annual budget, and managing the mortgage negotiations. The board officially expressed its gratitude to Tom for his tireless devotion as a “volunteer extraordinaire.” The resolution was read into the minutes and approved with a hearty “hear, hear!” In addition to a framed copy of the resolution, Tom was presented with a modest gift, wrapped in an origami card made from a financial spreadsheet. We cannot thank Tom enough for all the hours and expertise he has given to the Club this year. When you see him around, give him a muchdeserved pat on the back.

Reception with refreshments: Thursday, April 2, 5 - 7 p.m. in the evening.

Our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of Betty Reinhart, Thelma Louise Douglas Mortell, & Virginia “Ginny” Hunt

Connections: Spotlight on Kathy Kelley Kathy Kelley was born in southern New Jersey in Millville. She attended local schools through high school and then spent her first three years in college at Eastern Baptist, St David’s College (now Eastern University) near Philadelphia. For her senior year, Kathy elected to go west to San Jose State University where she graduated with a degree in English. Kathy then studied for a Master’s in English at San Francisco State. Kathy’s goal at this point was to become a teacher, but...the best laid plans oft do gang awry! Kathy’s experience with student teaching convinced her that the classroom was not her cup of tea. After graduation Kathy worked in an office and, lo and behold, found that she had an affinity for accounting. She worked in business for more than six years before she married, and then she and her husband moved to Colorado. They stayed in Boulder for five years where Kathy worked for a bank and a brokerage house. At that point, her husband, John, decided that he would earn a PhD in urban planning and of course, there was no place better to do this than the University of Michigan. When Kathy and John moved to Ann Arbor, Kathy was employed by McKinley Properties as a bookkeeper. Adventurous as always, Kathy accepted the position even though she had never studied bookkeeping. Nothing daunted, she took night classes at Pioneer High and later at Eastern Michigan University. Kathy received a certificate of management accountancy (CMA) from the Institute of Management Accountants. She worked for McKinley for twenty -eight years rising to corporate comptroller and then treasurer. At McKinley she met Penny O’Malley, and the two became close friends. It was through Penny that Kathy found the City Club. Penny was invited to an open house and both attended—with no thought of joining. They were both charmed by what they saw, however, and both joined the Club. Kathy said that she had just retired from her part-time job at Huron Travel and was looking for a ‘community’ to join. She said that she felt instantly at home here. Kathy’s training in finance has been an invaluable asset to the Club. She has served twice as assistant treasurer and once as treasurer on the City Club Board. Kathy takes advantage of many of the signature groups that the Club offers. She is a member of the Travel Group and has shared her escapades with members as travelogues. She also enjoys the Writing and Poetry Groups as well as the evening Book Group. A special activity for Kathy has been enjoying Mary Bachman’s art classes. Over the years, one pursuit that Kathy has continued to embrace is travel. While still employed, Kathy managed to find time to go to England seven times and is going again this fall. She has been to every continent except Antarctica. A visit to Peru and Ecuador is her most recent excursion, but never fear, she will head for Japan on March 31. Ironically, despite all her expeditions to far-off places, Kathy’s most serious injuries occurred in Ann Arbor, once getting hit by a truck turning a corner and once tripping on an uneven sidewalk, which turned out to be the more serious event. Kathy may have retired—more than once, in fact―but she is far from ready to curl up by the fire even with a good book. In addition to her travels, Kathy is in the process of writing two books which she hopes to see published. A nonfiction work examines the history of chapter houses (meeting rooms often attached to churches). Her novel deals with Richard III and is called The Protector. And then there is her art about which she is also serious. Kathy belongs to Ann Arbor Women Artists, of which she is treasurer, and the Colored Pencil Society of America. Take a look at the photograph that accompanies this piece. Kathy’s drawing is destined for a book jacket of a friend, and the level of detail is incredible. Perhaps we should take a leaf out of TV’s book and start a regular program called This Club Has Talent! Libby Birdsall For the Membership Committee 8
