The start of football season signals fall is on its way, which means cooler

temperatures, tailgate parties, and at the Club, fall member events that hold

longstanding traditions.

In this issue you’ll find details on some of the Club’s most popular events,

like the not-so-scary Halloween Party, the abundant Thanksgiving Brunch, and the premiere shopping event

of the year – Holiday Boutique. It’s wise to go ahead and make reservations now. Turn to page 22 for details.

You’ll also learn more about food and beverage offerings on the 11th floor. Did you know the Club has six

taps featuring a rotating selection of local craft beer in the Davey O’Brien Sports Lounge? Or that Dover Sole

night comes with tableside culinary action? Four Club employees share details starting on page 12.

Speaking of the Davey O’Brien Sports Lounge, it’s been one year since the luxurious space opened on the

11th floor. We have so enjoyed watching members utilize the lounge as a place to connect – be it on their

laptop at a charging station, with work colleagues over coffee, or with friends over wine and bar bites.

The establishment of “The Davey” is just one way the Club has continued to reinvent itself. Another is the

Athletic Center, where facilities are continually improving through renovations and fitness programming is

continually evolving. If you’re an Athletic Center member, be sure to download the new Athletic Center app!

It’s an easy way to check fitness schedules, book court reservations and even Pilates classes, and keep up to

date on class changes and facility updates. Search for “Fort Worth Club Athletic Center” in the App Store.

As the Club prepares for another busy fall and holiday season, we invite you to introduce your colleagues

and friends to the idea of membership. When the Club is bustling with events, the staff takes pride in going

the extra mile to ensure every detail is perfect. It’s my favorite time of year.

See you around the Club!

“In a way, I joined the Club by accident,” says Don Marable, a member since 2005 and recipient of the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber’s Businessman of the Year award. “When Loretta and I moved here to open up my Edward Jones office, we literally did not know a single person in Fort Worth. So when I decided to join the Chamber of Commerce, we went to their offices in person because I needed to start meeting people face-to-face rather than filling out an application online.”

When Marable arrived to the Chamber offices inside the Club, he noticed the Club’s signs for the daily events in the elevator. He began asking what the Club was about. “They told me it was the oldest social club in Fort Worth and suggested I go up and take a look,” he says. “Later, I met Rhonda Crass and Patricia Cole at one of the happy hours at what used to be the old ‘pub,’ well before the Library had been re-purposed. Anybody who knows that duo knows that once they decided I should be a member, there was no telling them ‘no’ and the rest is history.”

Marable says the Club has become a very important part of his social, professional and philanthropic life. He is involved in many local charities, including the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth, A Wish with Wings, the Fort Worth Stock Show Syndicate and many more. The Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber’s award recognizes a leader who contributes to a thriving economic environment for local businesses. Marable was chosen as an ideal example for his work ethic, dedication to the community and willingness to do it all with a smile.

Alyson PollakExecutive DirectorRotary Club of Fort Worth

SpACE: 7th floor, Club building

TEnAnT SInCE: 1980

When Alyson Pollak was new to the area years

ago, she joined The Fort Worth Club because of

the Junior Mentor Dinner Series.“I participated

almost every year until I aged out of the junior

membership category,” she says.

Today she is the executive director of the

Rotary Club of Fort Worth, a tenant that’s

moved spaces several times within the Club

since 1980.

“The office is now settled on the seventh

floor of the Club building – a perfect location

for us, considering our weekly meetings are

just upstairs on Fridays at noon, and many

of the Rotary Club members are also tenants

or members.”

Pollak says the meeting spaces are perfect for

Rotary’s large luncheons as well as committee

meetings and after-hours events.

“Of all the places downtown that we could

choose, The Fort Worth Club stands out

because of its exceptional staff, atmosphere,

and quality food service,” Pollak says. “The

staff goes the extra mile to help us serve our

Rotary members in style. The vision of The

Fort Worth Club leadership in consistently

updating and adding amenities like the

Ladies’ Athletic Center, Davey O’Brien Sports

Lounge, and remodeled Bistro ensure that

the Rotary Club of Fort Worth will be able to

continue to grow here for many more years.”

Fall programming on the 11th Floor

Six beer taps allow for a wide of range of options, says assistant manager Morgan Crump, who stays in constant communication with members to learn about their craft brew preferences. “The craft beer industry has really had a boom with multiple breweries doing so many fascinating things,” says Crump. “We select our beers to cover all spectrums from light to stout so everyone can have a favorite.”

Current member favorites include Deep Ellum Brewing Company’s Neato Bandito Mexican-style lager and Rahr & Sons Brewing Company’s Dadgum IPA. “The beer program was also designed so that food pairings could be done with light to dark beers, including lagers to full flavor stouts.”

Since opening last fall, the Davey O’Brien Sports

Lounge & Club Bar has become a

place for members to connect, whether

with work colleagues over coffee or

with friends over a glass of wine.

Members utilize the room to work on

their laptop or hold small meetings,

and the integrated charging stations

make it the ideal place to catch up on

work when downtown.

By afternoon, the space serves as

the ideal social setting, allowing for

camaraderie among members and

even the employees they’ve come to

know. Here, four employees share

more about the Club’s dining and

beverage programs and what to

expect this fall.

Wild Acre Brewing Company Texas Blonde: Light, crisp flavor. Wild Acre’s newest product.

Panther Island Brewing Allergeez: Unfiltered wheat ale, medium-bodied brewed with honey, rose hips and chamomile flower.

Deep Ellum Brewing Company Neato Bandito: Mexican-style lager with grainy and toasty malt notes on top of a medium body.

Legal Draft Beer Company Accused Amber Lager: Bold flavor, heavier than a medium-bodied beer but not as bold as a bock.

Rahr and Sons Brewing Company Dadgum IPA: Citrus and lemondrop hops and lively bitterness with intense notes of fresh cut pine and tropical fruit.

Lakewood Brewing Company Temptress Stout: Chocolate and caramel malt with complex, rich body.

Current Craft Beer Selections (menu changes frequently)


Morgan Crump, Assistant Manager

Just like Chef Prefontaine’s a la carte menus, the Club’s cocktail menu changes seasonally. Drinks are created via a collaboration of all bartenders and often servers, as well. “Once everyone comes up with their cocktails, we taste them as a group and tweak them here and there to get the recipe just right, keeping the members in mind, and the season,” says head bartender Vanessa Trahern. “Our cocktail program is very unique because we have built amazing relationships with the members. That allows us to create a menu that is geared towards them. Many times we have a certain member in mind when creating a new recipe. Our incredibly talented team is encouraged to use that knowledge and their imaginations to come up with a creative, seasonal-themed menu.” This fall’s featured cocktail is the Thin Mint Martini– a blend of Godiva Chocolate Vodka and mint liqueur with a hint of cream served in a martini glass with a chocolate-dipped rim covered in Oreo cookie crumbles. “It is the perfect holiday after-dinner drink,” Trahern says. “Many of our members typically stick to the classics when ordering drinks, but many also can’t wait to see what our incredible team comes up with next.”

While themed dining nights are not new to the Club, the additional space provided by the Davey O’Brien Sports Lounge & Club Bar allows for more events and broader programming. This year, fall themed dining includes Pizza & Wing Bar on Thursdays, Burgers & Brew on Fridays and Dover Sole Night on Saturdays. The latter – a longtime member favorite offered only in The Library – includes tableside action as the Dover sole is filleted in front of members and drizzled with a rich brown butter sauce, which is also created at the table. “The nutty aroma takes over the entire room,” says assistant manager Kati McSpadden, who makes the sauce. “The butter is swirled on high heat until it begins to turn deep amber in color. Fresh lemon juice is added to stop the butter from cooking further. The sauce is then finished with salt and fresh chopped parsley.” McSpadden was taught how to make the sauce by the a la carte chefs in the 11th floor kitchen. “I have always enjoyed cooking and learning the special techniques our chefs practice every day,” she says. “Having the opportunity to show off the finishing touches on this featured dish in front of our members makes my job that much more exciting.”

“The list has been evolving for a long time,” says Club manager Michael Thackerson about the Club’s wine selection. “It’s compiled of a great variety of rare wines and very special vintages of those wines, many of which have been aging for years to the point of perfection. And because we are a private club, we are not restricted to the high markups most high-end restaurants have to adhere to. This allows us to offer these special wines at really great prices, making wine drinking a little more relaxed and fun.” The Club currently offers around 20 wines by the glass, including sparkling, whites, roses, and varying reds. Still wines are available in four, six and 10-ounce pours and sparkling wines are served in a single glass.

W I N e P r O G r a M

The Club also has the privilege of offering higher end wines by the glass via the Coravin – a handheld device that allows for pouring wine without removing the cork. A needle is pushed through the cork and a small tank of Argon gas is dispensed, which pushes wine out of a spout. “This system allows us to access and serve single glasses of special wines without having to open, and potentially waste, an entire bottle of expensive wine,” says Thackerson. “We offer between 15 to 20 different higher end wines of varying grape varietals and vintages, from different regions, at any given time.” The Club’s staff is also trained in providing menu pairing suggestions. “We hold staff trainings to taste and learn about new wines by the glass and brainstorm pairings whenever the menu changes,” Thackerson says. “We also put together smaller lists of carefully selected wines to pair with our special events like Lobster Feast and brunches. Our entire inventory is available through catering for private event pairings, as well.” As for wines by the bottle, the Club has nearly 400 available, ranging from older and newer vintages from around the world. “There is truly something for everyone on this list,” Thackerson says. “And if a member doesn’t see what they like, we are always open to new suggestions.”

Michael Thackerson, Club Manager


Robert Fernandez, a longtime member and Club tenant, and member Larry Wilson say they had been to several wedding receptions at the Club and had always been impressed with the service, menu options and quality. “For our reception, we really didn’t seriously consider anywhere else,” Robert says. “And we had the wedding ceremony here, as well, which made it easy for our guests.” The couple says they had exactly the wedding they wanted, from the harpist during the ceremony and the cocktail reception to the dinner party with dancing. “It was wonderful,” Robert says. “We’ve heard from many people that it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended. We certainly thought it was wonderful.” Menu items included an elegant seafood display during cocktail hour followed by a luxurious five-course dinner which included filet and halibut as the main course. “My most memorable moment was being introduced as a married couple to the wedding guests in the ballroom,” says Robert. “But Larry was all about the party. He loved watching friends and family ‘getting down and getting funky’ on the dance floor.”

UPCoMING PLATINUM WoMEN EVENTS

T he future of women’s programming at the Club has gone platinum. Inspired by the Club’s status as a Platinum Club of America, “Platinum Women” is the name of the Club’s new women’s group. Committee members say they recognize that women desire a place to belong, a place to engage, and the opportunity to network with other women of excellence. They say Platinum Women was created with this vision in mind and will encompass events where women of the Club can connect. “Platinum Women is for all Fort Worth Club women of every age and life stage,” says committee member Leah King. King’s husband Barry, a veteran creative director, designed a logo called “Triangles of Togetherness.” “For the background, he chose the triangle design in the wallpaper in the Ladies Fitness Facility,” King says. “The background also conveys a sense of modern progress and moving forward while the ‘P’ and the green lettering speak tradition. The green lettering

is slightly lighter than our traditional green as it is more feminine.” Committee member Denise Browning says she was introduced to the Club soon after moving to Texas. “Through the women’s groups I met most of the friends I have today,” she says. “I want to see the group grow and become even more social to create even more new relationships.” Committee member Tim Latta also joined the Club as a new resident of Fort Worth. “I’m so happy that we did,” she says. “Everyone at the club – staff and members alike – made us feel like we’d been a part of the Club for a long time. It was one of our best decisions ever.”

Lei Testa, another committee member, says she traveled for work for many years and did not have a business connection in Fort Worth until joining the Club. “The Club was truly my link to both social and business settings in Fort Worth,” she says. “The members and staff have always made us feel ultra special and so welcome in our great community.” The committee has also created a signature cocktail to celebrate the introduction of the group. Called “The Platinum,” the drink combines pear vodka, triple sec, whole juiced lemon, agave nectar and white cranberry juice. Find it on the Club’s fall cocktail menu.

Fall favorites are back on the 11th floorMembers who’ve never experienced Dover Sole Night at the Club may not realize the seasonal dinner special comes with tableside action. The fish is filleted right in front of members and drizzled with a brown butter sauce that’s prepared at the table. But first, what is Dover sole? True sole is found only in European waters. Dover sole is found in coastal waters from Denmark to the Mediterranean Sea. The body averages about a foot long with delicately flavored flesh that has a firm texture. Served in the Library on Saturday nights, the fish comes with Chef Prefontaine’s seasonal sides and a rich brown butter sauce made with lemon juice and finished with salt and fresh chopped parsley. Other fall themed dining includes Burgers & Brew in the Library and Davey O’Brien Sports Lounge on Friday nights, when families can also bring their kids to enjoy Chef Prefontaine’s specialty burgers in the Grille. On Thursdays the Davey O’Brien Sports Lounge offers a Pizza & Wing Bar with assorted artisan pizzas, Caesar salad, jumbo wings including spicy Asian, traditional Buffalo and jerk chicken, and celery and carrot sticks with blue cheese and ranch dressings. Look for special watch party events all season long, too.

hue 1968: a turning pOint OF the ameriCan war in vietnam with Mark Bowden New York Times best-selling author of Black Hawk Down

wednesday, October 25_________________The first battle book from Mark Bowden since his #1 New York Times bestseller Black Hawk Down, Hue 1968 is the story of the centerpiece of the Tet Offensive and a turning point in the American War in Vietnam.

In the early hours of January 31, 1968, the North Vietnamese launched more than 100 attacks across South Vietnam in what would become known as the Tet Offensive. The lynchpin of Tet was the capture of Hue, Vietnam’s intellectual and cultural capital. Within hours the entire city was in their hands save for two small military outposts. After several futile and deadly days, Lieutenant Colonel Ernie Cheatham would finally come up with a strategy to retake the city in some of the most intense urban combat since World War II. With unprecedented access to war archives and interviews with participants from both sides, Bowden narrates each stage of this crucial battle through multiple viewpoints. 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.$35++ Book sold separately at event.

tuesday, november 28_________________The author of the acclaimed bestsellers Steve Jobs, Einstein, and

Benjamin Franklin brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography. Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history’s most creative genius.

a document he hoped would spark an academic debate, but that instead ignited a conflagration that would forever destroy the world he knew. Five hundred years after Luther’s now famous 95 Theses appeared, Eric Metaxas, acclaimed biographer of the bestselling Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery, paints a startling portrait of the wild figure whose adamantine faith cracked the edifice of Western Christendom and dragged medieval Europe into the future. Martin Luther tells the searing tale of a humble man who, by bringing ugly truths to the highest seats of power, caused the explosion whose sound is still ringing in our ears. Luther’s monumental faith and courage gave birth to the ideals of faith, virtue, and freedom that today lie at the heart of all modern life.

HOOPDreamsAthletic Center to host fifth annual youth basketball camp

Last year more than a dozen children participated in the Athletic Center’s annual youth basketball camp, and organizers are hoping to up the numbers this year. To be held in December, the camp is led by Club members Nick Michels and Jeff Kalbfleich and is offered not only to the children of members, but to children from various local non-profit organizations, thanks to member sponsorships. “Little Brother Jaylen loved the camp last year,” says Melanie Hanna, president of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tarrant County. “His favorite part was beating his Big at all of the drills that the coaches asked them to do at the camp. Jaylen loves basketball and all of the different coaches were funny and definitely knew basketball.” Sponsors of the annual camp include Rhodes Securities, Rivercrest Royalties, LLC and several generous members. The camp covers offensive skills, including shooting, passing, dribbling and screening along with individual defensive skills.

When Doug Wilson underwent total left

hip replacement surgery in 2015, he says

he went in as strong as possible, with good

flexibility and muscle tone, thanks to time

spent in the Athletic Center.

“The same afternoon, following the

morning of my surgery, they had me up

on a walker and then released me from the

hospital the following morning,” Wilson

says. “After one night in the hospital, I was

on a walker for two weeks, followed by two

weeks on crutches. I certainly took it pretty

easy for the first 90 days, post-op.”

When it was time for Wilson to return to

the Athletic Center, he was able to ease back

into an exercise program. He started with

yoga and eventually got back to his beloved

spin classes. He also partakes in Muscle

Activation Techniques and Fascial Stretch

Therapy, both of which help keep him

mobile while preventing injuries.

Yoga TherapyA mind-body practice that encourages a deeper connection with oneself

Thai YogaThai bodywork, including Vedic Thai yoga, Thai yoga therapy and Thai massage, can be gentle and nurturing when needed, but is more often very physically intensive, with a focus on therapy more than pampering. Thai yoga is performed with the client clothed on a mat on the floor. As you are gently supported in deep restorative postures, various massage techniques are applied to assist in the release of accumulated tension, stress, toxins, and energetic blockage. r$100 1 hour | $150 1 ½ hour

Energy WorksEnergy Works, or “running the bars,” is a simple, non-invasive energy process where the facilitator lightly touches each point on the head allowing the barrier to dissipate releasing the electromagnetic charge. This incredibly dynamic process will not only leave you feeling

refreshed and relaxed as if you had a deep restful sleep or a really great massage, but you may feel a sense of space that can also open more possibilities for you that change your life as well. Many people report that it assists them in sleeping more soundly. $100 1 hour | $150 1 ½ hour

Yoga TherapyThe process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application and practice of yoga that incorporates not just the practice of asana (postures), but also includes breath work, mindfulness, meditation, imagery, spiritual and psychological counseling, and ritual mantra.
