PRESIDENT’S MESSSAGE... by Flip Weber
CHAT WITH THE PRESIDENT
IT’S A NEW YEAR
Kicking off a new year makes it the perfect time to reflect on the past year . . . a look at our Club
with eyes wide open.
Some of us tend to look at things negatively. What we don’t have . . . like not enough members,
what isn’t going well . . . like not enough member business, or what we wish we could have . . .
instead of being grateful for what we do have . . . like an organization where we enjoy a luxurious
environment and incredible amenities.
As the Club President, I see us as fortunate. Here are some of the things I’m grateful for:
•First and foremost, A CLUB THAT IS DEBT FREE!
•Wonderful people . . . both members and staff who understand their fiscal responsibility.
• Introduction of a new chef, a revitalized kitchen, and new and exciting menus.
• Technological and administrative upgrades which save time, provide for more staff efficiencies, and in the end shave
dollars from our costs.
• At the end of the year, four new members who chose to join us and a reinstated member who returned to our roster.
• Many members involved in community outreach activities generating an explosion in volunteer hours, which supports our
mission.
• Our facility is in fine shape. We’ve made sure that we’ve maintained our beautiful building and replaced where
necessary .. . always with a prudent eye.
• Successful events which grew our Foundation to over one million dollars, allowing more money for distribution to worthy
community organizations seeking our funding.
Early on, I realized that my job is to encourage new ideas and support decisions, opening a world of possibilities. Our
board is a management team focused on the same goals, offering a combination of brainstorming, support, education,
accountability, and energy for the purpose of reinvention. These talents, generously given, allow us to grow and succeed.
There is nothing we can’t achieve. Connecting gratitude and team effort can really change what happens in a club.
• Our work becomes possible instead of difficult,
• Energy is distributed instead of diminished, and
• Decisions are supported rather than questioned.
What will we do differently this year? I don’t have all the answers, but I do know that this is our chance for our leadership
team to:
• Make a different impact by setting a new tone for our Club,
• Encourage our members to bring new relationships (members), and
• Take advantage of the incredible possibilities that exist in 2014.
Let’s make this a time for a new beginning, time for a fresh start.
AROUND THE CLUB
FROM THE MANAGER’S DESK ...by Valerie McDonald
Dear WCW Members,
Remember to keep the Woman’s Club at the top of your list when planning your next special
event. From wedding receptions and ceremonies to baby showers and corporate dinner parties,
the Club is the perfect venue. The Club offers an elegant yet comfortable setting, excellent
cuisine, and a professional, friendly service staff.
If your guest list is too large or too small for the Ballroom consider the Club to be the place for
the engagement party, bridal shower, bachelor party, or rehearsal dinner.
To schedule a date and reserve a private room, contact me at valerie@wc-wi.org or
call 414/276-5170.
Recently a Club member asked why we have a service charge added to food and beverage purchases when dining at the
Club. I thought it would be a good idea to share the answer in this newsletter, as there may be other members who
want to know…
WCW Service Charges
A 20% charge is automatically added to all dining room food and beverage charges.
In the private club industry, service charges are generally used and added to food and beverage charges. These charges
are not gratuities or tips that are directly paid to the service staff. The 20% service charge is revenue that is used to assist
with covering the cost of competitive wages and benefits that are paid to the staff.
The 20% service charge is the standard among clubs. Like most clubs, we experience a fluctuating use of the dining
facilities. In order to maintain a consistent high level of service and retain our staff during the slow times and
off-season, our Club pays competitive hourly wages.
If you choose to keep a copy of your dining tickets, the top copy of the ticket can be removed for your convenience.
See you at the Club.

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT...by Casey O’Brien
Jon Bird
Jon Bird, nicknamed J.B., is the WCW’s new Sous Chef. J.B has a Culinary Arts degree
from MATC and is happy to use his expertise in a club that allows him to be creative
with his work. J.B. helped Chef Jan implement new, often changing menus,
showcasing an inventive and dynamic kitchen staff.
Cooking for clubs, hotels, and kitchens is just one of J.B.’s passions. His other hobbies
include going to concerts and collecting music. He often attends Brewers games and is a
football fan, namely of the San Francisco 49ers.
J.B.’s dedication to making dining at the WCW a unique and memorable experience is
much appreciated. We look forward to seeing (and tasting) what he comes up with in
the future!

Arlene Eskilson of “The Way We Were” in Evanston,

aristocracy but eventually embraced and popularized by
Queen Victoria. She will bring samples of the unique
silver and stone pieces and kilt pins. (Arlene spoke to us
last year about Parisian jewelry designs.)
Hostess: Alice Read

The Wyeths in Paris
A Behind the Scenes Look at Curating an
International Exhibition
Wednesday, April 16
11:30 a.m. social / 12:00 p.m. lunch
lecture following lunch
Three-course luncheon $30 inclusive
Join Ruth Stiff, Curator, “The Wyeths: Three Generations
of American Art” at the Mona Bismarck Center, Paris.
Ruth Stiff will present a behind-the-scenes look at
the challenges a curator faces in mounting a major
exhibition: from procurement, to transport, to
presentation. She will discuss the Wyeths and share the
importance of the Wyeth exhibition in advancing FrancoAmerican understanding of and appreciation for these
quintessential American works of art. Ms. Stiff will also
share the human side of a curator’s role with anecdotes
from 25 years of curating international exhibitions.
Ruth Stiff has been Curator of International Exhibitions
at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (London), since 1986
and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Mona
Bismarck Center in Paris since 2007. She has mounted
numerous exhibitions, authored many exhibition
catalogues, served as a guest curator for a number of
American museums, and lectured throughout America
and Europe.

CLASSICS BOOK GROUP
by Deb Patel
The Classics Book Group made great springtime reading choices. On March 20,
Kathleen Arenz will lead our discussion of The Inferno by Dante. Some may read
the book in verse as written. Others may choose John Ciardi’s English translation.
Another choice is a prose translation by Joseph Tusiani called “Dante’s Divine
Comedy: As Told for Young People.” (Don’t be put off by the “young people” reference
– it is sophisticated writing.) On April 17, Sara RS Miller will lead our discussion
of Woman in the 19th Century, published in 1845 by American journalist, editor, and
women’s rights advocate Margaret Fuller.
Make sure you email leah@wc-wi.org or call 414/276-5170 to reserve your place for
the 12:30 p.m. luncheon/discussion – the food is always good, and the discussion is
always lively!

NEW QUARTERLY THURSDAY
PROGRAM NIGHT DINNER WITH
AUTHOR AND SPEAKER ERIC
VOGEL
Thursday, March 20
5:30 p.m. Social / 6:00 p.m. Buffet Dinner
$30 inclusive
Eric Vogel, co-author of the newly published Layton’s
Legacy: A Historic American Art Collection, 1888-2013,
will speak on Frederick Layton and his art collection,
which forms the basis of our present-day Milwaukee
Art Museum. Layton was the second art collector in
America to fund a civic art gallery for the public’s use and
enjoyment. His European-style, single-story museum
influenced the design of many American museums into
the 20th century.
Eric Vogel is the chair of 3D Design at the Milwaukee
Institute of Art & Design and an architectural historian.
After dinner, a 25-minute movie will be shown featuring
a walk-through of the original Greek Revival style Layton
Art Gallery, which was demolished in 1957. Following
the movie, a short lecture with a question-and-answer
session will be held. Both the movie and the book will be
available for purchase.
To make your reservation, email leah@wc-wi.org or
call 414/276-5170
MAH JONGG CLASSES
Winds! Bams! Dragons! Learn an ancient game with a
modern twist. Mah Jongg has been a popular game in
America since the 1920’s. (Note: This is NOT merely
matching tiles, sometimes erroneously called Mah Jongg
on the Internet.) Combining both luck and skill, you will
find Mah Jongg to be a friendly, fun, and fascinating game
for men and women of all ages. Although this game of
Chinese tiles is usually played by four people, the play is
individual and partners are not needed. Groups of “Mahj”
friends play regularly for years - come and see why so
many people have enjoyed the game for such a long time.
YOU TOO will be able to join in the fun after these classes.
April 24, May 5, 8, 15, 22, 29
9:30 a.m. – 11:30 p.m
$60 includes all classes and materials needed
Instructor: Janet Fine
Email for more information: 1finegrammy@gmail.com.
A Mah Jongg refresher class can be offered if there is
enough interest.

ART HISTORY LECTURE SERIES
Wednesdays in March
Lecturer: Martha Bolles, MA, Art History
11:00 a.m. lecture / lunch to follow
Express lunch: soup, sandwich, dessert, & beverage
$5 lecture $15 lunch
This new lecture series will be the first in a larger series
taking us from the beginnings of Western Art to the 20th
century. In the first three-week “mini” series, we will
examine where it all began. In later series, we will explore
Medieval, Gothic, Renaissance, and the 17th, 18th, and
19th centuries before arriving at the modern era.
Art History of Three Different Ancient Cultures
Wednesday, March 5
Egyptian Art
The importance of the afterlife in Egyptian culture
is reflected in their architecture (tombs), paintings,
and sculpture. We will see influences of Egyptian art
throughout the history of Western art.
Wednesday, March 12
Greek Art
The early Greeks were perhaps the most influential of the
ancient artists. The Greek culture was less concerned with
the afterlife, but expanded on Egyptian concerns with the
design of their temples and their representation of human
form.
Wednesday, March 19
Further developments in
architecture, sculpture, and
painting were begun by the
Romans as their culture
supplanted the Greeks.
Romans also contributed new
ideas of government as they
built their very large empire.

April is Layette Collection Month
The Community Outreach committee has designated April for the WCW Annual Layette Collection to benefit the
Christ Child Society. Everything is needed - receiving blankets, sheets, onesies, sleepers, sweaters, booties, and caps,
and, of course, diapers. The Christ Child Society will prepare layettes from our donations to distribute to mothers and
babies in need of these essentials.
Our own WCW knitters are always generous, making hand-knit sweaters, blankets, caps and more! Please follow their
example and place your layette articles in the Pack and Play outside the office during the month of April.
Many new mothers will celebrate their first Mother’s Day shortly after our clothing drive. Just think how happy you
can make a new mother by helping to outfit her bundle of joy!
