Stepping OutWe’ve got a whole bunch of “Nights Out” on tap in November to celebrate fall and get you in the proper spirit for the holidays.

It all begins with “Ladies’ Night Out,” Wednesday, Nov. 9. LNO is back by popular demand. This will be the fourth Ladies’ Night Out. It’s a great evening for unwinding from the day with a beverage, catching up on gossip and doing some networking.

One night later, the guys get their chance to get together at Men’s Night Out. Rib-eye will be sizzling on the grill and the beer will be cold. Guys can hunker down in the Grill to watch NFL Thursday or test their skill (and more importantly, luck) in a Texas Hold-em tournament. Holy testosterone.

Next up is Couple’s Night Out, Saturday, Nov. 12. Chef Marty will have some great specials to choose from and “Beach Nuts” will be on hand in the Lafayette Room for some after-dinner dancing from 8-11 p.m.

The reverie concludes with “College Night Out” on the 26th. Everyone is invited to bust out those college colors and bust a few moves dancing to “Major and the Mon Backs,” an eight-piece college band, featuring the Friedman Twins, Neal (William & Mary) and Cole (UVa.). Club members Brian and Inger Friedman are the boys’ parents.

Neal is the lead singer and plays drums. Cole is on bass. The band plays everything from the Beatles and Motown to its own compositions, such as “Sweet Pumpkin Pie.”

As we continue to enjoy the autumn, it is hard to believe the holiday season is almost upon us. Thanksgiving until New Years is tradition-ally one of the busiest times of the year for our restaurants and catering division. Get your reservations in early for a private space for an event or any catering the Club staff may assist with. The Club’s six guest rooms are also in high demand.

We have some fun events planned for our members this month. The second week of the month we have planned a Ladies’ Night, Men’s Night and Couple’s Night. We will do a little sushi and wine for the ladies, steaks and cards for the gents and some tasting plate specials on Couple’s Night with the “Beach Nuts.” Watch for more information in the weekly blasts and flyers around the Club.

The Board has been working on some minor amendments to our Club’s Constitution. The last amendments were made in 2002 and periodically it is a good idea

to make sure they are up to date. No changes can be made unless the entire membership approves them so we will have some proposals to forward to you prior to a vote at the annual meeting in January. We are also working on our budget for the coming year. If you have any suggestions, please pass them along for consideration.

I would like to extend my thanks to the participants in the recent Pork-a-Palooza.

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, everyone enjoyed the fine food prepared by our members. It is quite a commitment on their part and we certainly appreciate it. We hope you will consider joining the fun next year.

As you can see in this issue, there is much to do at the Club. Thanksgiving is almost upon us so take advantage of your membership by signing up early for the wonderful buffet or by placing your take-out order. It’s a great way to enjoy that special day with family and friends in a more relaxing fashion. I hope to see you at the Club.

Respectfully Submitted,John Deal

As always the member chefs put on a great show for all of us at the recent Pork-a-Paloo-za. John Rand Smith who is also a member provided great entertainment on a perfect day. Thanks for supporting this club event.

Initial response on the new club menus has been positive. We are always happy to have your input on our offerings and service.

I hope all the members and their families have a great Thanksgiving.

Portrait Workshop Looking GoodAspiring portrait artists have been getting a lot of face time at a workshop conducted by NYCC’s Ron Primm, an accomplished portrait painter.

During a recent class, painters were bringing model Coral Jernigan to life on canvas.

“I’ve learned a lot. Ron is such a great teacher,” said Richard Boutwell, who’s been a Club member for 12 years. Boutwell has done a number of watercolors of places he’s visited on vacations and also places close to home. Recently retired, Boutwell decided it was the perfect time to explore portraiture.

“I wanted to get back in touch with painting and try something new. It’s been a lot of fun and the three hours goes by fast.”

Linda Copeland, who painted as “a kid and then didn’t paint for 45 years,” is also enjoy-ing the seven-session workshop which meets Tuesdays at 9 in the Activities Room.

“It’s been really good,” said Linda. “We are learning about shades, scales and planes.”

Primm waves off any praise about his teach-ing, insisting this is a workshop, not a class. “I just make a few suggestions and they take it from there.”

There are still a number of sessions left for those interested in attending. There is a $25 fee for the facilities and the cost of models is shared. Bring your own materials. Call the Club to sign up.

nYCC newSIf You’re Going

We’ve added two great facilities in Tennessee to our list of reciprocal clubs. The University Club of Memphis is one of the oldest private clubs in the Mid-South. Known for its “Southern charm,” the club boasts a world class chef, 4 indoor and 13 outdoor tennis courts, a state of the art fitness center and five – count ‘em 5 – massage therapists. The club recently underwent a $3.5 million renovation. Find out more at umem.com.

The University Club of Nashville is located on the campus of Vanderbilt University. It was chartered in 1962 as a “comfortable haven” for Vanderbilt faculty and staff to relax and exchange ideas. The club features an elegant dining room an enclosed outdoor patio with a waterfall. For more info, go to uclubnashville.org.

If They’re ComingIf you have friends or relatives headed this way for the holidays, we have six guest rooms on the ground floor of the Main Club to make their stay comfortable. Guests are welcome to enjoy all the Club’s facilities, including the Fitness Center and tennis courts. All rooms offer a view of the Lafayette River and are equipped with coffee maker, refrigerator, cable TV and wireless access. Call the Club at 423-4500 for full details.

Marilyn and Rachel Van Horn are never going to forget each other’s anniversary. They better not. The sisters were married on Sept. 10 at the first double wedding ever at the Club.

On a picture-perfect day, with 200 family members and friends looking on, Marilyn married John McCoy and Rachel tied the knot with Ed Atkinson.

When younger sister Rachel and Ed announced their engagement and with Marilyn and John’s looming, the idea of a double wedding began to take shape.

“Instead of making people come from out of town to two weddings virtually back to back and adding to the cost for everyone, it just seemed to make sense to have one big wedding,” said Marilyn, who became a club member this year along with John. John’s dad, Charles, is a past NYCC Commodore.

It made sense in a lot of other ways, too. The sisters have always been close, sharing a room until their junior high years and still sharing secrets. After visiting just about every potential wedding site, the Van Horns settled on the Club.

“We wanted a place that really captured what Norfolk is,” said Rachel. “The tradition here and the views of the water made it the perfect spot.”

Plus, said Marilyn, “It’s been a big part of our lives. We grew up here, going to dances and the cotillion.”

Marilyn, who practices family medicine and pediatrics, and John began dating 17 years ago when Marilyn was a freshman at Norfolk Collegiate. “I had a crush on him the first time we met.”

Rachel met Ed when they were earning law degrees at Florida State.

“We were in line to get football tickets and there was a mix-up and we were shut out,” said Rachel. “So I invited him over to watch the game. It was pretty obvious he didn’t know much about football.”

I Do, I Do

Rachel handled the “bottom line” issues and Marilyn was in charge of “details” for the wedding. The “9-10-11” date was chosen in honor of their parents’ – Vance Jr. and Linda -- wedding date 33 years ago. With the Club decked out for their big day, the outdoor ceremony at the flag pole and reception in the ballroom came off flawlessly. The sisters were escorted to the altar on the arms of their dad. They shared bridesmaids and said their vows in unison. A true family affair, John’s brother, Charles III, was his best man and Rachel’s brother, Vance III, served as Ed’s best man.

“We can’t praise the Club enough,” said Marilyn. “The atmosphere and food were amazing and everyone went out of their way to make everything perfect. We’re already thinking of having another celebration here one day.”

How about a double anniversary party?

H. Waller Whittemore, regarded as the Father of Junior Sailing at the Club, is the 2011 recipient of the A. Randolph Garnett Memorial Award, given in honor of the beloved physician and past president of NYCC.

The award, last presented in 2003, is for service to yachting.

Mr. Whittemore has been an NYCC member since 1948. It was on trip to Camden, Maine, one summer that he noticed a number of colorful boats sailing into the harbor as part of a junior sailing program.

Returning home, Mr. Whittemore was determined to start the first organized

The Fall Yachting Club Dinner on Nov. 3 promises to be a jammed packed evening featuring cocktails and conviviality, a look back at 2011 and a look toward 2012.

The highlight will be the presentation to H. Waller Whittemore of the A. Randolph Garnett Award, given for service to yachting. Winners in the Spring and Fall Keelboat Race Series will also receive their awards, as well as Junior Sailors.

A discussion of the 2012 yachting goals should spark a lively discussion. All members are welcome. Contact the Club or anyone on the yachting committee for more information.

program for young sailors here. With the help of then-Commodore Jack Vail, the Club bought 10 Turnabout boats and launched our junior sailing program in the summer of 1954.

Lee Pendleton, a student at Yale, served as the first coach and Mr. Whittemore directed the program for five years. Two of the Whittemores children participated in the program and his daughter, Annbyrd, went on to become an instructor.

Mr. Whittemore, still spry at 85, he lives in Norfolk and spends his summers in Sandbridge where you can often find five Hobie Cats lined up in front of his house. He will receive the Garnett Award at the Fall Yachting Dinner, Nov. 3.

“It is a lot of work, but well worth the effort,” said Gary Kelley, Fleet Captain-Piers and Waterfront. “We want to be environmentally friendly and a good neighbor to those who share the water with us.”

Kelley spearheaded the effort along with Habormasters Dino Kunic and Barry Nash and Assistant Harbormaster Brandon Taylor.

Our Seniors Still Got ItOur 60-plus year old statesmen of the NYCC courts traveled to Princess Anne Country Club to play in the Senior Tidewater Cup.The squad was led by Wiley Wood and Tony Irwin at first singles, Conrad Shumadine and Clay Coupland at No. 2, followed by Jim Daffron and George Tatterson. At the No. 4 spot, Hal Mauney partnered with John Berkley in the morning and Catesby Ware in the afternoon. Our “lads” had a chance to tie for the lead before losing two close matches to eventual champs, Virginia Beach Tennis and Country Club. A Serving of Family Fun The Parent/Child Tournament, one of the most fun events of the season, took place in early October.

Sam (dad) and Will Finney were victorious in the younger group and Perry Keatley and “Uncle” Mike Devine won the older division. Teams were split into two groups based on the ages of the children. Participants in the younger group were Ruth and Taylor Acra, Pierce and James Tyler, Craig and Thomas Joy and Will and Chris Smith. Older group teams were Evelien and Ko Steendam, Emily and Marshall Martin, Mark and Rob Kelly and Megan and Michael Holley. Tom Was The BombTom Forchas tore through the field to claim the NYCC Men’s Singles Championship. He defeated Gatewood Dashiell in the finals. Grey Kiger “dusted off ” his tennis game and showed he had lost little in defeating George Tatterson for the Flight C title. AlmostOur Ladies Spindle Cup team came oh-so close to winning this year’s competition. With NYCC tied with Farmington CC at the close of the second day, it came down to a tiebreak based on head-to-head matches. Farmington edged our women, 4-3.

Teresa Jett, Ruth Acra, Laurie Marshall and Latane Avery represented us in singles. Doubles teams were composed of Jett and Virginia Henderson, Carolyn Ware and Sue Tynes, Acra and Kelly Stoddard and Avery and Marshall.

Tournament Results

You can usually find them at the Fitness Center several mornings a week working out together side-by-side on the elliptical trainer or swimming laps in adjacent lanes.

Allen and Ada Lester have been exercising next to each other for most of their married lives, going on 25 years now.

That is except when they are kayaking. Ada sits up front and Allen is in the back steering.Staying fit together started for the Lesters, who have been club members for a little over a year, with family bike rides with then teenage sons, Chris and Jon.

Then, Allen and Ada began “swimming together and that led to running and ….,” said Allen.

Over the years, the Lesters have done a bunch of triathlons, run several marathons and competed in a ton of local races.

They have competed in the USA Triathlon Age Group Nationals three times, in Florida, Maryland and Missouri. Ada has won the overall women’s title five times at the Conchman Triathlon in the Bahamas and Allen has won his age group.

But mostly, they’ve had fun and enjoyed each other’s company, though as Ada pointed out, “We’ve had a few disagreements along the way.”

Ada, 48, was always an athlete. She was a high school swimmier growing up in Northern Virginia, though she did more partying than working out while earning an engineering degree at Tech.

Allen didn’t get into serious exercising until he met Ada at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard where they both worked.

“Hey, I was born in 1946,” said Allen, who is a lean 6-foot-1. “So I was expected to smoke and I did. I wasn’t much into working out.”

Allen retired after a 31-year career at the shipyard as the Supervisor of the Naval architectural Branch. Ada worked as an engineer for some 20 years.Now in what they call “the freelance phase” – they do contract work for the shipyard and have a photography business – they have plenty of time to work out.

Which they need. The dynamic duo works out at the Fitness Center with trainer Sean Yi working on strength and flexibility. They also do cardio and swim.

“I can’t say enough about the club,” said Allen. “The facilities are terrific and everyone is here to help you. Plus, the food is great. What more can you ask?”

At home, they like to run through their Ghent neighborhood and stationary bike. But kayaking, said Allen, is probably their favorite form of fitness.

On a recent vacation to the Sonoma area of California, the couple visited a few wineries and spent the rest of their time hiking, biking and kayaking.

What’s the best and worst part of working out together?

“The best part,” said Ada, “is you have someone to motivate you. And we have definitely grown closer together. The bad part is that sometimes one of us can talk the other out of working out. You know, when you are going to meet a friend to work out, you will be there. You don’t want to let them down. But when you are both at home, it’s easier to just stay at home.”

What’s next for Team Lester?

“Maybe when we get too old to do triathlons,” said Allen, “we’ll take up golf.”

Together.
