HARVARD CLUB OF BOSTON
BULLETINSEPTEMBER 2017
Our annual summer party in the roof garden was a beautiful evening of food, wine and good company.
Dear Members,
Where did the summer go? I hope you all enjoyed your fair share of lazy days, beach outings, baseball games and Harvard Club events. Have you noticed that the Harvard Club has introduced a number of
new and different events in the past year, and increased the number of complimentary events? One of my recent favorites was the Battle of the Harvard Club Chefs. Over 100 Club members were there to sample the sumptuous dishes created by our talented chefs, and there was a great sense of community in Harvard Hall as we cheered them on!
Please save the date of November 4 for our second annual Harvard Club Member Gala. It promises to be a fabulous evening when we can all gather at the Club and celebrate with new friends and old. The theme this year is inspired by James Bond – we’re calling it Skyball, and we’d love to see you in your black tie and fancy dresses. We’ll also have many other wonderful events, including an Evening with Greg Norman, professional golfer and entrepreneur; a Fall Cider Dinner, the Bel Canto opera, and a “superhero training” breakfast for the kids – truly something for everyone.
As we begin yet another fiscal year, I want to thank the Club staff and management team for all their hard work and superior attentiveness. There is a growing sense of comradery at the Harvard Club these days. I encourage you to share this with family and friends, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Best,
Karen M. Van Winkle ’80President
THE PRESIDENT’S LETTER

GENERAL MANAGER’S LETTER
Dear Members,
I wanted to inform you that our Downtown Chef, Jason Banusiewicz, has recently left the Club to serve as Executive Chef of the University Club of Boston. While we are sad to see Jason leave, we are all very
happy for him in his new venture. We recently hired Burt Jenness as his replacement and I invite you to see “Chef’s Corner” on page 17 to learn more about Burt. I have had the pleasure of working with Burt in the past and he is an outstanding culinarian.
Kevin Wong, our Back Bay Club Food and Beverage Manager, has also joined the University Club of Boston. We wish Kevin well in his new position. Kevin started here as a bartender and we are proud of the progress he has made. His replacement, Samir Bichara, joined us in August. Samir was previously the Food and Beverage Director at the Boston College Club since 2011. We look forward to his years of experience, which includes a Court of Master Sommelier – Level 1.
Summer renovations included a men’s locker room project to replace some plumbing fixtures, a more open seating area, and a fresh coat of paint. Special thanks to Athletics Chair Marcus DeFlorimonte and Facilities Manager Glen Ballard and his dedicated team.
I am pleased to report that Club is on pace to surpass its FY2017 financial goals. While the year started out slow from a revenue standpoint, we were able to control costs. As revenues have improved (starting in February), we have had six straight months of exceeding bottom line net income. Please join me in thanking the entire management team for their flexibility and dedication in delivering positive financial results.
Enjoy the rest of summer and go Red Sox!
Sincerely,
Steven P. Cummings, CCM, CCEGeneral Manager

and philosophy to explain the inner workings of finance in a manner that has never been seen before.
In his book, The Wisdom of Finance, his exploration of the ideas of finance is shown through the prism of the humanities. Desai shows that outsiders can access the underlying ideas easily and insiders can reacquaint themselves with the core humanity of their profession.

The Organ Generation
This event is hosted by Harvard University and the Harvard Stem
Cell Institute in cooperation with the Harvard Club of Boston as part of HUBweek 2017.
With more than 119,000 adults and children hoping for a life-saving organ on the national transplant waiting list, and only 15,000 organ donors in a given year, the US suffers from a donor organ shortage. All the while, those fortunate enough to receive an organ transplant may have to fight against their own bodies, which often reject the new organ as a foreign object. Now, breakthroughs in gene-editing, 3D bioprinting, xenotransplantation, and de- & re-cellularizing “bioartificial” organs offer a glimpse of a future in which a steady and reliable supply of immune-matched organs may be possible. See and hear from Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) scientists on the cutting edge of this research.

CHEF’S CORNER
We welcomed Executive Chef Burt Jenness to the Downtown Clubhouse in July. A Massachusetts native, he grew up on the shores of Plymouth, where he developed his love of fresh New England seafood. Burt makes it a priority to use quality fresh seafood and produce from local farms.
Chef Burt began cooking at the age of 14 and attended the College of Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University. After graduation, he apprenticed at the Park Plaza Hotel for eight years and then went on to travel throughout the United States, as well as St. John and St. Croix, of the US Virgin islands and Virgin Gorda of the British Virgin Islands, working alongside well established chefs learning the art of Japanese cooking and French cuisine.
After refining his culinary skills he met and teamed up with the Club’s
Executive Chef Dean Moore. They worked together at the Chatham Bars Inn, the Park Plaza Hotel and Brae Burn Country Club. They went on to re-open Top of the Hub, which has become one of Boston’s most iconic and award-winning restaurants.
The next time you visit the Downtown Clubhouse, please say hello and welcome Chef Jenness.
BRUNCH
Starting September 17, we’ll begin serving brunch in Veritas at the Back Bay Clubhouse every Sunday from 10 am–2 pm.
Our menu includes many traditional brunch favorites with a few new ones, including Prosecco poached salmon with purple cauliflower couscous,
roasted baby squash with fresh horseradish crust. We’ll also have brunch drink specials including a pink grapefruit mimosa.

Paul Farmer, MD, PhD, one of the founders of Partners In Health (PIH), will share how PIH found new pathways and developed a model for curing the ravages of HIV/AIDS, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and cholera among the world’s poorest people. Working always in formal partnership with the countries it serves, PIH has seen stunning
success in its work in Haiti, Rwanda, Peru, Malawi, Lesotho and five other developing nations. Because its model of delivery was so successful, PIH was invited early on to address the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone and Liberia. The ripple effect of the PIH model has been profound: It has been replicated again and again in other parts of the world,
and is widely regarded as an essential tool in addressing the daunting challenges of global health.
Dr. Paul Farmer is the Kolokotrones University Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and Chair of the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine. He is a co-founder of Partners In Health and currently serves as Chief Strategist.
Join us to hear more about Dr. Farmer’s innovative approach to health care challenges around the world.
