IN THIS ISSUE MAY ’14 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE YALE CLUB OF NEW YORK CITY CELEBRATE MOTHER’S DAY AT THE CLUB: Enjoy a lecture on Rose Kennedy, a special tasting event, and of course Mother’s Day Brunch. PG 3 ARTS + CULTURE WINE + FOOD EVENTS + PARTIES AT THE CLUB MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: A Tribute to John Musto ’91, our outgoing president. PG 4 ATHLETICS NORTH FORK WINE TOUR: Escape the city and tour Long Island Wine Country in the summertime. PG 6 UPCOMING EVENTS CALENDAR HISTORIANS OFTEN CONSIDER NATHAN HALE AMERICA’S FIRST SPY. During the American Revolution, Nathan Hale engaged in intelligence-gathering missions against the British before he was captured and sentenced to death. The plaque erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution on the side of the Clubhouse marks the site where Hale most likely died. We salute this extraordinary sacrifice, as well as the sacrifices of all men and women who serve their country. As Memorial Day approaches and the world commemorates the 100th Anniversary of WWI, take a moment to pause over some of the Club’s most evocative memorabilia: the plaques and portraits hanging outside the Main Lounge, which immortalize Yalies who have served their country, in infancy, at the turn of the 20th century, and today. FOR GOD, FOR COUNTRY, AND FOR YALE! “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” – Nathan Hale, Yale Class of 1773 50 Vanderbilt Avenue New York, NY 10017 Tel: 212.716.2100 www.yaleclubnyc.org Guest Rooms: 800.335.YALE [email protected] Dining and Event Reservations: 212.716.2133 [email protected] Banquets: 212.716.2122 [email protected] Membership: 212.716.2131 [email protected] Editor: Andrew Bezek ’13 [email protected] Louis C. Tiffany Stained Glass Walking Tour Saturday, May 3, 10:30 am Louis Comfort Tiffany, one of the most prolific designers of the late 1800s, was particularly known for his work in stained glass. The memorial windows he designed for the churches of Brooklyn Heights have left us with the largest concentration of Tiffany glass in the world in their original settings. Join us on this walk, as we visit some of these churches and discuss the symbolism and technique used by Tiffany as well as the history of the Heights.

Enjoy themed hors d’oeuvres, a chit bar, and live music from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm. 2014 THEMES: May 28: Delightful, Delicious, De-Lovely. Celebrate 1915. Think jazz-age martinis, plenty of glamour, and lots of glitz, as we commemorate those first two decades. Enjoy speakeasy fare and prohibition cocktails, as you watch the New York sunset from Floor 22. June 25: Mod 60s. Celebrate 1965. Fifty years after our Clubhouse was built at 44th and Vanderbilt, the sixties arrived. These were the bands: the Stones, the Kinks, the Who, the Yardbirds. Their game? A new style often heard blasting from Clubs around town. Sip drinks and enjoy bite-sized snacks to commemorate this wild decade. July 30: Madonna, Madonna, Madonna. Celebrate the 80s. Madonna and Whitney are topping the charts. Michael, too. They’re reinventing pop culture. Join us as we reprise the 80s on our Rooftop Terrace with drink specials and hors d’oeuvres for those who are hungry like the wolf. This is the last party of 2014—be there—before another one bites the dust. Tour of Richard Meier Model Museum Friday, May 16, 1:00 pm Richard Meier is one of today’s most celebrated architects. He won the prestigious Pritzker Prize in 1984 and is known for designing the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art and the Getty Center in Los Angeles, among many other works. Richard Meier’s 150-plus model collection, recently installed at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City, spans the architect’s entire career, going back to the 1965 Smith House, one of the early projects which established his reputation. Highlights of the model museum include large-scale study models of the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Please make your reservation using the online calendar for $20 per person. Space is limited. 2 W I N E of the month: Caymus Vineyards In 1971, Charles Wagner and his wife, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, asked their son if he would be interested in joining them to start a winery. If he declined the offer, the family had plans to sell their Napa Valley land and move to Australia, and Caymus Vineyards would have never existed. Today, Caymus produces some of world’s best Cabernet Sauvignon, and as the Wagner family has grown, so too have their wines. They now produce Mer Soleil, a stunning Chardonnay; Belle Glos, a bold Pinot Noir; and Emmolo, a crisp and sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy each of these wines by the glass in our dining rooms throughout May.

Do you have a favorite painting or work of art at the Club? What is your proudest accomplishment as president? I’ve been coming to the Club since I was about 8 years old. I would come here because my dad was a member—he was a professor at Yale. He would take me into the city and we would stay at the Club together. I’m from New Haven originally, so I love all of the artwork that depicts Yale and New Haven. I especially love the works that have scenes of East Rock because that’s where I grew up. My proudest accomplishment is the Tap Room. I think it will stand the test of time and in 30 years it will be considered one of the great rooms of the Club. I am pleased that it opened on time and on budget. It is just a spectacularly beautiful room. I will also say that I am honored by the people we brought into leadership positions. The Club has never been in such good hands as it is today. I’m also tremendously proud of the financial performance of the Club. With all of the things we’ve done and the challenges we’ve faced, we’ve continued to have strong financial performance and we’ve built a good foundation for the future. Describe your oldest memory at the Club. I got a kick out of having lunches here and seeing all of the businessmen when I was younger. One time, my brother and I decided to try to get them to notice us, so we started talking about different stocks. We would shout, “Exxon just crashed!” We had fun attempting to scare them into thinking that there was something going on. And they listened to us. What is your favorite secret about the Club? My favorite secret about the Club is the basement entrance into Grand Central that is kept locked up. I wish the President were given a special key to use. He is not. What changes do you anticipate happening at the Club? I think the Club will continue to become more diverse. We’re doing the right things and making the right changes detailed in the Master Plan to ensure that the Club will be as great a place in 100 years as it is today. I hope we always serve great food; I hope our guest rooms are always as beautiful as they are today; I hope the staff is always just as welcoming and friendly. John Musto ’91 is The Yale Club’s outgoing president. He is an avid squash player and recently competed in an international tournament in Italy, where he won first place.

THE BENEFITS OF A MASSAGE You probably already know that massages reduce stress and aid in relaxation, but massages have many other health benefits as well. Did you know that massages help to improve posture and reduce blood pressure? Or that they enhance athletic performance and assist in the movement of lymph fluids and blood circulation? They can even strengthen your immune system and the health of your skin. The Yale Club has a comprehensive massage program. We employ four talented therapists: Raul, Ron, Sebastian, and Mirlande, available by appointment throughout the week, and we recently added a state-of-the-art memory foam table. We offer an assortment of services including: SWEDISH MASSAGE: These massages are gentle and relaxing. Therapists use long, smooth strokes to knead superficial layers of muscle with lotion or oil. THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE: Focusing on rehabilitation and recovery, therapists manipulate soft tissue to alleviate pain, discomfort, and muscle spasm. DEEP TISSUE: Using slower strokes or friction techniques, deep tissue targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. SPORTS MASSAGE: Specifically designed for people who are involved in physical activity, the focus is on preventing injury and enhancing performance. SHIATSU MASSAGE: Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork that uses localized finger pressure in rhythmic sequence on acupuncture meridians. PRENATAL MASSAGE: Certified massage therapists help to reduce stress, decrease swelling, relieve aches, and reduce anxiety and depression caused by pregnancy. Schedule an appointment: Please visit www.yaleclubnyc.org/massage or call 212-716-2127, to make your reservations with one of our talented massage therapists.
