Transcript of Neighborhood Club Member newsletter - January 2012
January, 2012 President’s Letter
Dear Fellow Members,
2012, a NEW YEAR and a NEW BEGINNING. We accomplished some of our goals during
2011, but have more to complete. The roof repairs are in progress, the newsletter has been
revamped and the air conditioning water tower has been replaced.
We have more to do and with your help and the continued support and hard work of the staff,
we will be successful.
With the help of the House Committee an agreement has been reached with the Milton Hoosic
Club that allows their members to enjoy our dining room and our members to golf at their Club
with the same restrictions as their members, eight times a year. We are going to allow their
members to dine, 20 members a night, on a first come basis, from Nov 1, to mid-April, adher-
ing to our rules. Please welcome them to the “Neighborhood Club” experience. Complete golf-
ing rules will be published in the next Newsletter.
It is also time to start planning for our 100th anniversary. We need your ideas and help. To any
member who would like to be part of the planning, please contact me, any officer, Board mem-
ber or the Centennial Committee. Our preparation will be important to our celebration as one
of the only dining clubs in the country to achieve 100 years successfully.
In closing I would like to thank the staff, under Marty’s leadership, for their extraordinary
efforts during the last two months. We have had successful months in large part because of
their efforts.
To each of our volunteers, to our officers, to our Board members and to all our committee
chairs and members of committees, thank you.
Yours truly,
C. Robert Foy, President

A Message from The General Manager
The Christmas holiday season at the Club is always special. I would like to again
thank the members and staff who helped decorate the Club for the holi-days. They did a wonderful job trans-forming the Club into a holiday won-
derland. Job well done!
Breakfast with Santa was held on Sun-day, December 4th. Joel created a
breakfast buffet which everyone raved about. Santa visited and gave out
presents to the girls and boys,
On December 10th the Christmas Dance was attended by over 100 members and their guests. Tom Pitman led the fun in
the Christmas dancing. Joel and his staff created mouth watering food stations that were on display in the
living room.
On Saturday, December 31st our Candle-light Dinner took place. Over 130 mem-bers and their guests were in attendance. Cappy serenaded the members and their
guests.
We are entering our quiet months at the Club, and the snow bird members going away for the winter, I would like to ask the members when going out to dine to think of the Club. The staff relies on their employment and when it is quiet they receive very few hours, creating a
burden on them and their families.
We hope that you enjoyed a wonderful holiday season with us and your families
and hope that you have a healthy and
Happy New Year. Best Wishes, Marty
The First One Hundred Years
Part Five
FIRST PRESIDENT RETIRES
Having been instrumental in organizing the Club and having watched it grow under his guidance during a period of more than three years, President Sears felt that the time had come for a change in leadership and wrote the following letter:
“Board of Governors of the Neighborhood Club, Quincy, Mass.
Gentlemen:
Through your confidence and courtesy I have acted as President of the Club since its beginning – now some three and a half years. Considering this long term of service, and the fact that one’s service can sometimes be too long for the good of an organization like this club; the fact that at this time you are to appoint new committees for the coming year with whom the President must act; and my further strong desire to be relieved of the responsibility, all seem to mark this as the appropriate time for me to ask you to accept my resignation as President which I now do, the resignation to take effect at once.
“Assuring you of my continued interest in the Club and expressing to you my apprecia-tion of your help, advice and sympathetic consideration, I am
Sincerely yours,
(signed) RUSSELL A. SEARS.”
Mr. Fred B. Rice was elected President to succeed Mr. Sears.
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS 1919-1929
During the decade following World War I, the Club’s obligations were reduced by $5,000.00, but the magnitude of the outstanding indebtedness continued to be heavy and annual profits were small, as shown by the following table:
The First One Hundred Years Continued
Fiscal Notes Held Notes Held Total Annual Year Mortgage By Members By Banks Debt Profit 1919-20 11,500 21,400 7,500 40,400 1,072.07 1920-21 11,500 21,400 6,300 39,200 1,046.99 1921-22 11,500 21,400 5,800 38,700 272.19 1922-23 11,500 21,400 5,000 37,900 1,710.61 1923-24 11,500 21,400 3,900 36,800 764.96 1924-25 11,500 21,400 3,000 35,900 97.08 1925-26 11,500 21,400 3,000 35,900 954.62 1926-27 11,500 19,100 5,400 36,000 183.18 1927-28 11,500 19,000 5,400 35,900 350.21 1928-29 11,500 18,800 5,100 35,400 249.22
DEPRESSION YEARS
For a number of years following 1929, the Club membership continued to decline. The Club records show a constant reduction in membership from 1929 to 1935. Although there is no clear statement of the actual size of membership from year to year due to ambiguity in inter-pretation of the membership lists, the fact remains that the reduction during this period was of a serious nature.
In order to obtain more per-capita revenue, the annual dues were increased at the An-nual Meeting on June 26, 1930, to $45 for Class A Membership (man and wife); $32 for Class B (single men) and $19 for Class C (single women). At this meeting action of the Club officers was approved, whereby outstanding notes of indebtedness were refunded through the issue of so-called “Certificate of Participation” at face value of $134 each, without interest, to mature July 1, 1940, at which time the notes were again refinanced.
The serious decrease in membership became a matter of first concern to the Governors. In his report at the Annual Meeting held June 29, 1933, President Philip Hamlin spoke as fol-lows:
“In common with all social organizations which call for dues and fees, our Club has suffered a considerable loss in membership. This was to be expected. We have off-set these losses in a small degree by the election of some new and desirable members, but our losses both by death and resignation can not be wholly compensated. Our Club has held, since its organization, an enviable position in the social life of the Quincy dis-trict because of the character of its membership. A number of those who no longer ap-pear on our membership list cannot be replaced. These losses are deplorable, but those of us who are left to carry on must not be downcast. Rather should we redouble our ef-forts to replace these losses insofar as we can. Those who have left us were in them-selves an attractive feature of our Club. We must find other, if dissimilar, attractions to keep up the Club spirit, the Club interest and the Club traditions.”
Past One Hundred Years Continued
Due to the decreased membership it was difficult to secure a quorum at Board Meetings
and President Hamlin suggested an amendment to the By-laws reducing the Board membership
from 15 to 9, and the quorum from 9 to 5. This recommendation was never adopted.
The decline in membership was naturally accompanied by a decrease in revenue, and
from a financial viewpoint the season 1934-1935 was the worst in the history of the Club. The
following table reflects the financial condition of the Club during the depression years:
Fiscal Year Ended Annual Net Profit
May 31, 1929 $249.22 Profit
1930 $76.42 Loss
1931 $1,790.49 Profit
1932 $858.57 Profit
1933 $872.91 Loss
1934 $1,583.30 Loss
1935 $2,338.16 Loss
It was perfectly obvious that if the Club were to continue as an entity, something drastic
must be done to strengthen the membership and to overcome the mounting annual deficit.
Past President’s Notes
A few years ago (when I was 21) I was invited to a wedding reception at the Neighborhood Club. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the club and its elegant ambiance. I never imagined
being member let alone becoming President of the Club.
Thirty four years ago things changed. While making sales calls for my husband's glass com-pany I was talking to Ed Flavin. He asked me if Dick and I would like to become members of "the club". A couple of days later, Ed and Roseann Flavin and John and Edith Corcoran wrote
sponsoring letters. The rest is history.
Along the way, when Karl Briggs was Vice President and Chairman of the House Committee, he got me involved as Secretary of that committee. My next "job" was as Entertainment Com-mittee Chairman. Boy did we have fun. Our most ambitious program was a murder mystery
dinner. The script was written just for the Neighborhood Club. The actors were all club mem-bers. Our director and task master for several months of rehearsals was our own Mildred Parker. On the night of the performance, over 225 members and guests laughed the night
way. Bodies and suspects were discovered during cocktails, then some disappeared during din-ner and the guilty were finally dispatched during dessert.
Around the turn of the century, 2001, Matt McDonnell asked me to accept the position of Secretary of the club. I knew that accepting that position would lead to me becoming Presi-dent in four years. Frankly, I was frightened at the prospect of being the first woman officer
and that I couldn't do the position justice. My husband Dick encouraged me to accept the invi-tation and to give it my best shot. He convinced me that if issues arose that I did not feel quali-
fied to resolve, to seek help from other officers, governors or members. He assured me that I would never be alone. I accepted and spent the next two years fulfilling the duties of Secretary
and then two more years as Vice President/Chairman of the House Committee.
About six months into my Presidency, Roger Brousseau, our manager for 27 years, came to me saying that his wife, Marie, was not feeling well and that he wanted to move to Florida where they would spend more time together. We formed a search committee and spent a couple of
months interviewing about 30 applicants for the manager's position. By unanimous vote of the search committee, Marty McGovern, our current manager, was selected as the best candidate.
It was a very busy six years, but I don't regret one day of them. The Neighborhood Club of Quincy will always have a special place in my heart. I hope all our members enjoy it as I do.
Best Wishes, Shyla Settles
Members Notes
Kevin Dwyer, our youngest child, ran the New York City Marathon on November 6, 2011. Not
particularly noteworthy, perhaps, except for the fact that Kevin is one of the four of our seven
children who have cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that clogs the lungs with mucus and scars them through
chronic infections. Kevin has only 50% lung capacity, so running 26.2 miles was an enormous
challenge. When he began training a year before the race, he could not complete even one mile.
He chronicled his progress in a blog, kevinrunning.wordpress.com. It is an intensely honest
portrayal of his struggles and a testimonial to his dedication and perseverance.
Kevin was motivated to run the marathon when he watched the 2010 event and noticed that
many of the runners wore T-shirts representing the causes for which they ran, including cystic
fibrosis. He decided he should run not only to raise funds for The Boomer Esiason Foundation,
but to give hope and encouragement to others affected by CF.
The media somehow learned of Kevin’s quest. On November 3, the Friday before the race, New
York Times columnist Jim Dwyer (just coincidence, no relation) wrote a column about it. CBS
taped a moving interview with Kevin; his lovely girlfriend, Katie Kolb; Martha Weber, our
daughter and also a CF patient; and Dr. Emily Dimango, Kevin and Martha’s physician. The
segment was broadcast nationwide on “The Early Show” on Monday, November 7. For those
interested in more detail, the internet links are:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/04/nyregion/with-cystic-fibrosis-kevin-dwyer-running-new-
york-marathon.html?ref=nyregion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sWZHhgYQVQ
Race day was a sun-drenched fall Sunday in New York City. The marathon course goes
through all five boroughs—Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Manhattan. After a
comfortable Long Island Railroad ride from Dix Hills in Suffolk County, we stood on Lafayette
Avenue in Brooklyn (mile 8) along with our daughter, Susan Belisle, Martha, and her son, Dy-
lan, waiting for Kevin and Katie amidst a crowd of thousands. There were hugs, laughter, and a
few tears when they arrived looking great!
Members Notes After the picture-taking, Kevin and Katie were off again, and Susan became a “bandit.” That’s
someone who isn’t authorized to run in the marathon but jumps in and then out before the fin-
ish line. She ran with Kevin and Katie to Greenpoint in Brooklyn, about 4 miles, where she
joined up with two of Bob’s nieces who have run in past marathons and were there to cheer
Kevin on.
The rest of us hopped on the subway to Manhattan. We all eventually ended up in the grand-
stand at the finish line in Central Park, joined by our son, Steven, and his girlfriend, Kathy
Mongon, who had traveled in from New Jersey. Katie’s mother and sister-in-law, Sharon and
Cindy, who had journeyed all the way from Arkadelphia, Arkansas, joined us as well.
The excitement and anticipation levels were sky high, but so was the anxiety level. Will Kevin
make 26.2 miles? What sort of condition will he be in? When Kevin and Katie rounded the
curve and came into view—running, laughing, and waving—the feelings of relief, pride, and
joy were immense!
As they crossed the finish line together, Kevin took out an engagement ring—which had been
slipped to him along the route by another “bandit”— knelt, and proposed to Katie! And yes,
once she got over the shock and found her voice again, she did accept.
The gala celebration that evening at Ditch Plains Restaurant on West 82nd Street gave us a
chance to meet some of the Kevin and Katie’s Manhattan friends. It was a wonderful conclu-
sion to a day of high emotion and great happiness.

Centennial Report
We only have 1857 days until our Club
becomes 100 years old. Quite an
achievement for a club without golf, tennis
or a swimming pool - of course we do have
bowling.
But, we do have a big job ahead to be ready
for this momentous event.
Over the next few months, we will present
the Centennial Committee suggested long
range plans.
They of course will be optimistic, but very
achievable, if we all work together, so as to
set a solid framework for our next century.

Did You Know? New Year is the world's most popularly
celebrated festival.
Ancient New Year Calendar First New Year celebrations were noticed in
Mesopotamia around 2000 years. It was cele-brated at the time of Equinox in mid-March by the Egyptians, Persians and Phoenicians while Greeks celebrated it on winter solstice. As per the ancient Roman calendar New Year fell on
March 1. This calendar just had ten months and
March was the first month of the year. The cal-endar originated by the cycles of the moon, beginning in spring and ending with autumn
planting.
Inclusion of Two Calendar Months It was Numa Pompilius, the second king of
Rome who divided the year into twelve lunar months by adding the months of January and
February. The New Year was shifted to January as it marked the beginning of the civil years in Rome. But this was not fully accepted by the
people of Rome and they continued celebrating in the month of March only.
January 1- Official Date of New Year’s The Roman emperor Julius Caesar officially
declared January 1 to be a New Year in 46 B.C. Romans worshiped God Janus who had two
faces, one looking forward and the other looking backward. The month of January was named
after this Roman God and it gave an idea to the emperor to establish January as a gate to the
New Year. It is said Caesar celebrated January 1 - New Year by ordering the revolutionary Jewish
forces to route back. People began New Year celebrations on January 1 after many years. They ritualized the beginning of the year by acting and
re-enacting the world of the past before peace proliferated. People learned January as first
month of the year and with this the tradition of following Julian calendar.
Abolition of Roman New Year Date In the medieval period, pagan festivals were given more importance and March 25 was
announced as the beginning of the New Year. March 25 was called the Annunciation Day as on
this day Mary got the news that she should be impregnated. Later, the King of England ensured
that Jesus' birth December 25 should be commemorated as New Year.
Gregorian Calendar About 500 years later, Pope Gregory XIII abol-
ished the old Julian calendar and introduced Gre-gorian calendar which comprised of a leap year after every four years to maintain balance be-tween seasons and calendar. Finally, in 1582, Gregorian calendar was set to celebrate New
Year on the first day of January.
Committee Reports
Entertainment
I am sure you will all agree that the club
looked very festive during the holiday season.
From the 100 poinsettias on the stage and
around the club, to the beautiful Christmas tree
and mantel decorations everyone seemed to
enjoy the decorations.
We hosted Breakfast with Santa on Sunday,
December 4th and were thrilled that about
175 members and their children and grandchil-
dren attended. Deanna Seymourian and her
committee shopped for gifts for the children
and some of Santa’s elves helped with wrap-
ping day before the party. Fran Foy and her
daughters worked tirelessly to create projects
for the kids to do the day of the event. Face
painting and ornament decorating were par-
ticularly popular. Thanks to Barbara Walsh
for playing the piano during the Annual -Sing-
a-long. Santa (Jay, one of our waiters,) and
Mrs. Claus (Linda Crockett) visited and posed
for pictures with the children after the gifts
were distributed.
Saturday, December 10th we held the
Christmas Social featuring dinner and danc-
ing to the music of Tom Pittman and Linda.
One hundred and eight members and their
guests attended this elegant evening.
New Year’s Eve features a complimentary
Champagne cocktail and your choice of one of
the Joel’s special entrees. Dinner will be
served from 6:30-9:00. Prices vary based on
one’s entrée choice. Cappy will serenade us
with soft, dinner music. The Living Room is
available for after dinner drinks with music
until . . .
We will remove our holiday decorations on
Monday, January 9, 2012 from 0:00-12 noon.
Our faithful Entertainment Committee mem-
bers and some of our regular staff agreed to
assist. Any other members who would like to
join us are always welcome.
January can be a bleak month with so many
snowbirds away. Marty discussed the possibil-
ity of sponsoring a Tapas weekend sometime
at the end of the month. Plans are not com-
plete but look forward to this unique event.
