From Your President

Dear Friends: Fifteen years ago this month, I started my business as a writer of life stories. It was a leap of faith to go from full-time employment to being my own boss and hoping I could still pay my bills. At the time, I didn’t even dream of celebrating a fifteenth anniversary. Who knows whether the founders of the City Club imagined a day when members would celebrate sixty-four years? But it’s safe to assume that when they took a leap of faith to buy our historic home and create our organization, they were dreaming for the long term. We are the inheritors of that dream. And we are responsible to pass it along to the next generation, who will one day look back at our accomplishments with gratitude for our investment in the future. Thank you to everyone who has already shown their support for that dream with a donation to our Way Forward 2015 fundraising campaign. Many generous members have done their part. If you have not yet made a donation, please do so before the end of April. We need just one more sustaining gift of $3000 to attract the entire match of $35,000 from Susan Smith Gray. Thank you to all you wonderful Sustainers who made sure we could meet that challenge! But we’re still looking for many more members to pledge an average of $240 to get us to our total goal of $128,000. As of the end of February, we still need to raise $47,270 to meet our goal. (Please note: Donations to the City Club, which is a 501(c)(4) organization, are not tax deductible.) Meanwhile, make reservations to enjoy this month’s activities. Our March calendar is symbolic of all that is possible when people come together to create community. In addition to all our regular diversions, we have a Purim dinner on March 9, St. Patrick’s Day dinner on March 17, volunteering for the Ann Arbor Symphony Youth Concert the morning of March 18, a Dine & Discover lecture on Mark Twain that evening, a Travelogue presentation on South America (March 25), and then a weekend of opening our doors to the public for our hip and happenin’ Flea Market (March 27-29). Whew! Plus, please mark your calendars for our Annual Meeting on Wednesday, April 29. Registration and socializing will start at 11:00 a.m., with lunch in the ballroom at 11:30. The Annual Meeting will begin at 12:30 p.m. Please make a reservation to come for lunch with your friends and stay for the informative presentations as we welcome our next president, Pat Amort.

Artist for the Month of March: Sandra S. Difazio Originally from rural Arkansas, Sandra has always loved the colors and patterns of the landscape, from the rugged majesty of her birth state to Michigan’s diverse environment. A representational/realist painter and avid plein air artist, her passion is to see, appreciate, and through her art, honor the natural beauty that surrounds her. She fully believes in the importance of painting from life as well as in the studio. The surface of her work is a varying impasto of oil color applied over a toned canvas. Sandra is an award-winning artist, and her paintings have appeared in numerous juried and solo exhibits, museum shows, galleries, and plein air events throughout Michigan with several pieces in private and corporate collections. She actively participates in several art organizations. She is past president and former plein air chairman of Ann Arbor Women Artists, associate member of Oil Painters of America, secretary of the Great Lakes Plein Air Painters Association, and a member of The Saline Painters Guild. Don’t miss this new exhibit in our gallery. Mary Bachman Art Committee Chair

From the Archives

“A Little Piece of History”

Fifty years ago, March 1965… Members were invited to the fourth annual party for the students of the English Language Institute; sixty-five students from twenty-one countries were the guests. It was presented as an opportunity to “have a world tour right at the City Club,” and to practice one’s knowledge of other languages. ~~The Celebrity Luncheon series featured Claribel Baird, Professor in the Department of Speech. She and her husband, Prof. William Halstead, had visited eight of the principal theaters of Moscow and Leningrad, and her topic was “Some Impressions of the Fall Theatre Season in Moscow and Leningrad.” ~~ The Book Review Program featured Howard Peckham, Director of Clements Library, whose topic was “Three Heroines of Indian Captivity.” ~~ The Ann Arbor Thrift Shop, an AACC Member Club, invited all members of the City Club to attend a Thrift Shop Bundle Coffee and a program titled “Around the World in 80 Minutes.” Thrift Shop members modeled ethnic costumes and exhibited treasures collected from exotic places they had visited. Admission for the event was a bundle of anything you can spare such as clothing, books, and household items. Interesting to note, that article stated, “Ample parking will be provided at the Club in the new lot in back of the entrance, or across the street in the Christian Science Church parking lot.” ~~ Do you remember Circle Pins? Did you own one? An ad in the Club’s magazine by Bay’s Jewelry Shop showed a pin priced at $2.95 and engraving was free! Twenty-five years ago, March 1990… A Musical Tribute was held to honor the memory of Marie Schlesinger (1899-1990). Mrs. Schlesinger loved the Club and was grateful for the enduring friendships she made while a member and hoped that the Club would have a lasting place in the community. Mrs. Schlesinger remembered the Club in her will and made possible renovations in the Main Dining Room. There is a plaque over the MDR entrance naming it the Schlesinger Dining Room. ~~ Ruth Door and Ruth Pickl reported that the silver urns were repaired, replated, and back in service at Club functions to provide an image of the Club as a warm and gracious place.

Don’t Miss the Next Beginning Bridge Class Beginning Bridge, Section 4: Two over One will begin on March 18th and run for 6 weeks. There are only 5 spots left!

Community Outreach News Volunteer With Us On March 18th the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra will be holding its annual concert for area school children at Hill Auditorium. It is a wonderful opportunity for about 5000 youngsters to experience symphony music that appeals to their age group. Mary Steffek Blaske, the executive director, has asked City Club members to help at one or both of the sessions by escorting groups from the busses to their seats, ushering inside, or helping to direct the activities so all goes smoothly. The first session is at 8:30 a.m. until about 11:00 a.m., and the second begins right afterwards. If you can help, please contact the Front Desk by March 7th, and we’ll call you with all the details. Angels List Many of our members have expressed an interest in helping with Outreach projects from time to time but are unable to be a part of the committee. We now have a simple way to do just that. We are creating our own City Club Angels List and are inviting you to join. All you need to do is submit your name and email address to the Front Desk. When an event comes up, you’ll receive an email, and if that interests you and you have time in your schedule, let us know. No meetings, no commitments unless you choose to take part. Learn More About Community Needs Come to a presentation about a new community-wide searchable database of volunteer and giving opportunities. A representative from United Way will demonstrate the database at the City Club on Monday, March 16, at 10:00 am. Everyone is welcome. Barb Pomey Community Outreach Chair

Connections: Spotlight on Jim Walter James Richard Walter—known to his friends as “Jim”—was born in Detroit in Henry Ford Hospital with the help of a very popular obstetrician. Jim remarked that when he attended the doctor’s funeral, almost everyone else there had been delivered by that doctor. When Jim was ten, the family moved to Birmingham where Jim attended local schools. At age 13, Jim went to Castle Heights Military Academy, as his older brother had a few years before, and he loved the experience. Rock musicians Greg and Duane Allman were a few years behind him, and he has a wonderful photo of Greg Allman as a fourth grader with attitude. Jim says that the school, located in Lebanon, Tennessee, had a very diverse student population. A large minority were from Latin America. The southern location of the school offered Jim an extensive education in some of the problems experienced by darker-skinned people, Caucasian though they might be. The school did its part to broaden the minds of its students by inviting Branch Rickey to be commencement speaker in Jim’s freshman year.

After graduating from Castle Heights, Jim attended the United States Naval Academy for one year. Jim was not enthusiastic about the curriculum. As a sophomore, he transferred to Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio. There he majored in mathematics/philosophy/religion which seems like a pretty full plate. He received a Danforth Fellowship to study math at the University of Michigan where he received an M.A. and married his lovely wife, Judith. Jim’s first teaching appointment was at Valparaiso University. After one semester, he received an offer from Eastern Michigan University where he taught from 1964 to 2000. During those years he finished a Ph.D. in mathematics at Wayne State University. Much as Jim enjoyed his students, he felt a pull to dabble (as he put it) in politics. His first effort was in 1970 when he was one of ten candidates running for two positions on the Washtenaw Community College Board. He was not one of the two lucky winners, but he says that he “learned an awful lot.” In 1972, the first year that 18-year-olds could vote, he ran for county commissioner. It was a year that many new independent parties were formed of all political stripes, from the Human Rights Party on the left to the American Independent Party on the right. Jim and his staunchest supporter, his wife Judith, campaigned tirelessly door-to-door in Ypsilanti, and Jim won by a narrow margin. Jim describes his wife as a master campaigner. Jim served three terms as county commissioner and then took a hiatus from elected office, but he did serve on the Washtenaw County Metropolitan Planning Council which he chaired for two years. In 1992 a candidate was needed to run against a well-known incumbent, Roy Smith, for county commissioner in a very Republican district. This time it was Judith’s turn. Nothing daunted, he and Judith again went door-to-door, this time by bicycle. When the Walters knocked on one door they were told that the people were not interested because they always voted Republican. However, when the owners saw the Walters on their bikes they ran after them to hear more about their ideas as they, themselves, were interested in the environment. Judith won that election. In 1995 Jim and Judith moved to Pittsfield Township where residents were upset about the pace of growth. Judith, the “master campaigner” ran for county supervisor. It was a difficult campaign which included a last-minute recount and a very uncollegial Board of Trustees, but Judith won nonetheless. In 2000 Jim retired from teaching and was elected Pittsfield Township Supervisor. Judith also retired. They spent happy days attending concerts, and Jim developed an interest in cooking. After several years of enjoyable retirement, tragedy struck: In a dreadful freak accident, Judith slipped and fell, breaking her neck. Because she was completely paralyzed, she moved to hospice care and did not live long. For Jim, as he puts it, joining the City Club was his therapy. He had played bridge some years before but had to give it up because of his busy schedule. Now he plays often and enjoys it. He also likes the City Club special events and is looking forward to joining one or more interest groups, when he has the time. We are happy to have him at the bridge table or any other activity in which he cares to join. Libby Birdsall For the Membership Committee
