Mid-Year Update on Club Programs and Activities
February 2018 Newsletter http://blogs.cornell.edu/campusclub
Midway through Campus Club’s year is a good time to pause and see just what our members are up to. It is my hope that all of our new and returning members have had many opportunities to participate in club activities and to attend the club’s social events and programs. Members may appreciate that the board was able to hold dues at $25 by dipping into the savings we have grown in the years since the dues were last raised. Costs have continued to rise but, so far, we have ample reserves to cover them.
As President, I have had the pleasure of working with a very capable and enthusiastic board. Some of us have been members of Campus Club for many years while others of us are relative newcomers. All of us have ideas on keeping the club rooted in its 118-year history while, at the same time, working to remain relevant to women in Ithaca today. One example you may appreciate is our starting a new Facebook Page, Campus Club at Cornell. Our two dozen Activity Groups are the backbone of the club and you will see what they have been up to in this newsletter. Know that we are always looking to expand our offerings. If you have an interest, hobby or skill you would like to share but you do not see it represented or think it might be underrepresented, please consider working with the Board to start up a new group. If you have an idea but want to start less formally, consider talking to the Board about a trial launch midyear. Our Club stays robust and relevant by counting on creative, enthusiastic members who want to be involved. This is my ninth year in Ithaca and Campus Club has been an important part of every one of them. I value knowing that even during dark, cold winter days there are interesting, active women gathering, learning and having fun. Warmest regards, Anne Karolyi, President, [email protected]
PRESIDENT’S MID-YEAR REPORT
2
We had two very successful programs this fall:
In September, Roberta Moudry, Cornell’s Architectural Historian, led us on our annual Cornell campus Architecture Walk (The Ag Quad and Environs) exploring the Agriculture Quad and east campus. We viewed the structures that rose to the east of the Arts Quad, which represent the first sustained building campaign for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. We enjoyed hearing the history of the buildings and who they were named for, especially Martha Van Rensselaer hall (1933). Martha Van Rensselaer was one of the first women promoted to full-time professor at Cornell University (College of Home Economics).
In November, Barbara Adler, an experienced church organist and teacher of organ
performance, presented a Lecture/Demonstration about the King of Instruments using the beautiful 5000 pipe organ at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Ithaca. A large audience overcame the obstacles of parking downtown to enjoy an exciting and inspiring event.
COMING SOON
Thursday, February 22nd at 10 a.m., Rediscovering the Environmental Culture of Cities with speaker Aaron Sachs, Professor of History at Cornell, at Kendall Auditorium, (2230 N. Triphammer Road)
About 100 years ago, the United States became a predominantly urban nation, and the percentage of Americans living in cities has steadily increased. A careful study of the 1920s and 30s when this trend became clear, reveals a powerful ambivalence in American culture, especially when it came to the environmental implications of urbanization. This talk will juxtapose the cityscapes of Edward Hopper with the writings of urban critic Lewis Mumford to explore that ambivalence.
Thursday, April 5th at 10 a.m., The Sciencenter – Now and in the Future with speaker Dean Briere, Executive Director of the Sciencenter, at The Sciencenter (601 1st Street)
Mr. Briere will discuss the role of science centers in local and national communities. He will present his vision for the Ithaca Sciencenter and how it fits with other centers nationally. The talk will be followed by a short tour of the highlights of the Sciencenter.
Thursday, May 3rd at 12 p.m., Evolution and Creationism in 2018 with speaker Warren Allmon, the Hunter R. Rawlings III Professor of Paleontology at Cornell University and Director of the Paleontological Research Institution, at the Spring Luncheon (registration required ), at the Country Club of Ithaca (189 Pleasant Grove Road).
Whether it is recounting Earth’s 4 billion year story of life or describing the multiplicity of causes for the belief in Creationism, Dr. Allmon always presents fascinating information on the evolution and ecology of the world’s bio-diversity. Our membership will enjoy a talk that will be both fun and thought provoking.

Starting New Campus Club Activity Groups / Keeping Activity Groups Thriving The Campus Club depends upon the Activity Groups to provide women the chance to delve into a particular topic and get to know each other in a small group. Do we have something you’re interested in now? How about your love of books? (We have three book groups.) Do you like to be active outdoors? (We have hiking, biking and down-hill skiing.) Maybe you’re crafty? (Try quilting or dabblers.) Or you like to meet people from other countries and cultures? (We have two international women’s friendship groups.) And, there are so many more. If you don’t see something that appeals, consider starting a new group! We have two new groups this year: Wine Explorers and Art and Writing. These were started because a woman had an interest and thought other women would enjoy it with her. They shared their ideas with good friends, got some help from the Executive Board, especially the Activity Chairs, and now both groups are running successfully.
Sometimes our groups are so successful that there are enough women for a second group on the same topic. While it may seem overwhelming at first, many experienced group members willingly step up to help a new leader with ideas on how to run the meetings, where they might be held, and how to have engaging and interesting programs.
We would like to encourage YOU to step up to start a new group, create a spin off, or lead an existing group. If you think you are ready to start a new group, please email Holly or Lynne. We will help you get the word out, give you some ideas and provide moral support.
Best Wishes, Holly Kazarinoff, Activities Chair, [email protected] Lynne White, Asst. Activities Chair, [email protected]

Art and Writing (NEW!) – 1st Wednesday, 1 p.m., State of the Art Gallery on 120 W. State Street The Art & Writing Group met three times in the Fall with great enthusiasm to engage in writing about art. Each
month State of the Art Gallery featured a new exhibit and offered fresh material for our activity. During the monthly sessions, we followed writing prompts that led us to explore many mediums of art. We not only engaged in writing and reading what we had written but also discussed the works of art we had written about -- an unexpected outcome.
We meet again in February, March, and April and look forward to the pleasure of each other's company and insights. The members of State of the Art Gallery are very interested in our visits and have expressed a desire to know our responses to the art. Bernice Magee, Coordinator, [email protected]
Bird Study Group – Tuesday, 8:30 a.m.
The Campus Club Bird Study Group met from mid-September through mid-November and enjoyed birding at nine locations. The group met at Sapsucker Woods, Jetty Woods, Hogs Hole, and Stewart Park, and carpooled to Dryden Lake, Myers Point and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. Expert birder, Mark Chao joined BSG for birding at the Freese Road Community Gardens where he shared his knowledge about autumn sparrows and other birds. Membership this year grew to 56 members, with weekly field trips averaging between 10 and 20 participants. Four winter activities were planned for 2018. In early January, 19 members got an exciting behind-the-scenes tour of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Other events include a January morning of birding at Cayuga Lake, a group bird study event in February, and a presentation by the Cornell Raptor Program in March. In early April, the group will resume springtime birding, just in time to watch spring migration and breeding. During the summer of 2017, the BSG initiated a project to enter the group’s historical bird sightings into Cornell’s eBird database – the world’s largest citizen science program. This is a challenging undertaking, since the group’s records go back to the 1970s. Diane Traina, [email protected] Gladys Birdsall, [email protected]
ACTIVITY GROUP REPORTS

Book Group I – 3rd Monday, 2 p.m.
The Monday afternoon Book Group continues to read a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction. So far this year, our reading has included My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout; Eleanor and Hick by Susan Quinn; The Sellout by Paul Beatty and most recently The Presidents Club by Michael Duffy and Nancy Gibbs. We’re looking forward to Old Filth by Jane Gardam for our February read.
We have enjoyed challenging ourselves by reading fiction and non-fiction, discussing ideas that are new and sometimes difficult for us. We are a large group, and this year we’re meeting at St. Catherine’s Church and the Lansing Public Library. Both have ample room inside for all of us to sit, and convenient parking outside! We look forward to the second half of the year.

Book Group II – 2nd Thursday, 1:30 p.m.
The Thursday afternoon Book Group spent the last few months reading and discussing such diverse topics as a futuristic dystopian society, the hillbillies of Kentucky, a lonely Swede, and a comedy (really) about a missing mom. In the coming months our reading centers coincidentally on books featuring women: Australian nurses in WWI, three women in a collision course across continents in WWII, mystery at sea, and racial bigotry and ethical choices in a hospital setting. If interested in joining us in the months to come, contact Gail or Mary Ellen. Gail Carruth, [email protected] Mary Ellen Gleason, [email protected]
Book Group III – 3rd Monday, 8 p.m.
The Monday evening Book Club is off to another great start! We have a lively and interesting group each month to
discuss our books, we welcome new members and we have a few extra fun evenings each year. Recently we did a
dish to pass in conjunction with a book we had chosen with an international theme. We read The Perfect Horse:
The Rescue of the Lippizzaner Stallions by the Americans from the Nazis, by Elizabeth Letts, and our dinner
consisted of 14 members each with a German or Austrian dish to pass!! It was delicious, and we do this every
January to brighten our winters. We have some great books lined up for the spring, ending with another dish to
pass in June as we meet to pick our books for next year. Come join us!

Bridge (Intermediate) – Wednesdays, 9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.
The Bridge group continues to play from 9:30 a.m. until noon at the Cayuga Heights Fire House. We encourage a companionable atmosphere where players can enjoy each other and maintain and even increase their skills.
The group enjoyed a holiday coffee with lovely goodies in December and will have our annual luncheon with an outrageous form of bridge at the Country Club in May.

CCC Cyclists – Thursdays, 1 p.m., Spring & Fall
With mixed feeling we report that our group has been a bit smaller this year. Our biggest news is that Campus Club has added a Water front Trail cycling group that also meets on Thursday. As a result, even more Campus Club women are regularly seen peddling along roads and paths in Tompkins County. Fast or slow, on the road or on a path, if you love to ride your bike please join us.
Our road cycling group meets Thursday afternoon in the spring and fall and Thursday mornings in the summer. Upstate New York is blessed with miles of well-maintained rural roads with minimal traffic. We ride between 12 and 20 miles at an average pace ranging from 11 and 14 miles per hour. No one is dropped (we wait to regroup several times during the ride) and we can always break into two groups to accommodate faster and slower cyclists, as well as offer the option for a shorter route.
We’ll be hitting the road again in early April so get those bikes tuned up and include both aerobics and weight training in your winter routine.

CCC Cyclists Easier Bike Option - Waterfront Trail (NEW!) – Thursdays, 1 p.m., Spring & Fall
This was a new group this fall composed of people who were looking for a more
relaxed bike experience. The Waterfront Trail is a scenic 10-mile loop with
opportunities for being shortened. We met Thursday afternoons at the Farmer’s
Market Pavilion, weather permitting, through the end of October, and we will
resume again in the spring. We sometimes added other weekdays if the
weather is especially lovely.

Dabblers – 1st Friday, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
The Dabblers have met twice this “semester,” being productive, laughing a
lot and sharing ideas. In October, we went to Bakers Acres and had a talk
about succulent plants. Following that, we went into the greenhouse,
chose plants and arranged them in a clay pot. We were taught, in our
November meeting, how to make fabric-covered notepads. We have four
meetings planned for the next few months: fabric printing, edible
vegetable arrangements, beaded jewelry and flower arranging. Our
creativity knows no bounds!

Downhill Skiing – Tuesdays, 9 a.m., in January, February, March
Despite the rain and gray skis as I write this report, we are delighted to report that this
winter we have had bit more snow and it has been cold enough for Greek Peak to make
snow. Conditions have been very good.
Downhill skiing is a small informal group. Tuesdays are our “official” day to ski but we
try to connect whenever the conditions look good. Please drop me an email if you would
like to be added to our group email list. Winter is much more enjoyable when you can
get outside and embrace it.
Marcie Robinson, [email protected]
French Conversation – last Thursday of month, 11:30 a.m., Kendal at Ithaca’s Café (2230 N. Triphammer Rd.)
The aim of the group is to maintain our ability to speak French. Our discussions cover subjects of interest to the group such as customs, traditions and cuisines of different countries. We have a wonderful time together talking French. Communicating in French is always a pleasure. Christina Wu, [email protected] Silence Michelet-Lowell, [email protected] Marianne Saphra, [email protected]

Games – 2nd & 4th Tuesday, 10 a.m., September-June
A typical Games meeting usually will have six to ten members show up to chat, laugh, eat and play games. Depending on attendance we either have one or two tables and play for 2 to 3 hours.
So far we have played: • Alhambra (players purchase building tiles to make their Alhambra) • Big Boggle (score points in this word search game if you are the only one to write it down)
• Code Names (one word clues to communicate a set of code names to your team) • Concepts (communicate concepts by placing tokens on picture icons) • Euchre (quick trick taking card game but watch out for the Jacks) • Hanabi (working cooperatively to set off fireworks) • Iota (layout "words" in a Scrabble pattern where "words" are based on shape, color, and number)
• Oh Hell (trick taking card game) • Rummytyle (tile based game with tiles 1 thru 13 in four colors where you lay down tiles with the same number or tiles in a sequence) • Ticket to Ride (lay out tracks so you can reach your destinations) • Wordster (a card with 3 letters is turned up and you have to write down as many words that incorporate the 3 letters in the order listed)
Do come and join us! Contact Raf Chew if you would like to receive the reminders. Raf Chew, [email protected]
Gardening – 4th Friday, 10 a.m.
The Garden Group began our fall 2017 with an agricultural themed tour of Bellweather Hard Cider and Sheldrake Point Winery, up the west side of Cayuga Lake, where we learned about the vagaries of growing both apples and grapes in our region, as well as the fascinating processes of turning fruit into tasty alcoholic beverages, which we also got to sample. We had a beautiful fall day for our trip and ended up at Glenwood Pines, enjoying our lunch with a lovely lake view. In October, we gathered at the home of member Sue Martin for our annual planning and plant exchange meeting, also admiring Sue's garden and residual summer harvest. Our joint November/December meeting found us gathering for a group potluck luncheon and $10 garden-themed holiday gift exchange at the beautifully decorated home of member Mary Lee Noden. Our upcoming January meeting will reconvene at Mary Lee's, where we will learn about and construct our own terrariums. We will break up the February chill with a vicarious visit to the far-flung gardens of our members' travels with a photo share at the home of member Nora Shang. March will find us at Early Bird greenhouses, where we will make our own hanging baskets and get an early glimpse into the upcoming garden season preparations of George Sheldrake's local nursery business. For April, we plan to make garden ornaments, and in May we gather at member Cristina Gomez's home and garden for our annual spring potluck luncheon and plant exchange. For the summer months, we will enjoy touring a variety of local area private gardens. We welcome all gardeners, both novice and experienced, and those with just a theoretical interest in gardening.

Gourmet Diner’s Group – Monthly The Gourmet Diners Group has been having a delicious time eating and cooking. Nora Shang gets us organized every month and in September, we had Cocktails in Lotus Land- an Alton Brown Tailgate Menu, hosted by Nancy Ridenour in her beautiful garden.
In October, we celebrated Oktoberfest with Wolfgang Puck and in November, everyone got dressed up for Gourmet Magazine plans a Classic Dinner Party. December found us at Hope Horst’s house, enjoying Holiday Brunch from Food and Wine Magazine. We love to eat off Hope’s numerous sets of holiday china and fabulous crystal glasses! The rest of the year we’ll be trying out other menus, such as BAM! Mardi Gras with Emeril Lagasse, Ina Garten’s Spring Brunch and Eclectic Cuisine from Moosewood Restaurant.
This year’s 2017-2018 Cookbook Committee: Marcie Robinson, Deb Dawson and Holly Kazarinoff, produced “Recipes from Celebrity Chefs, ‘Foodie’ Magazines and Bloggers”. As the title suggests, we brainstormed famous chefs, food magazines and food blogs. We then researched them on the internet, to identify appropriate menus that would work for our Campus Club Group. Publication was easy and accurate, as we just had to ‘cut and paste’ the individual recipes, instead of typing them all by hand. Marcie did the yeoman’s job of editing: formatting the two
columns, making the titles consistent, putting in page numbers, and more. Thanks also to Sandi Lowe, who painted the cover.

Hiking & Cross Country Skiing – Mondays , 9:20 a.m.
As one of the long time activity groups within the Campus Club at Cornell, we are happy to report that we continue to enjoy the fellowship of our returning members as well as
the new members who have added new ideas and excitement to our group.
On average, between 20 to 25 women hiked this fall in the State Parks of Buttermilk, Treman and Taughannock as well as portions of the Finger Lakes Trails in Tompkins County. We also enjoyed our walks in various Finger Lakes Land Trust Preserves. We have skied at Hammond Hill State Forest twice so far and we are looking forward to more skiing this winter. Even if the snow is absent, we still hike in the winter and delight in the hidden waterfalls we discover throughout the area. It is never too late to join us, so come and enjoy fresh air and company.
You will discover that indeed, "Ithaca is Gorges." Annie Schissel, [email protected] Barbara Nussbaum, [email protected] Emily Tracy, [email protected]

International Women’s Friendship Group 2 – 3rd Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.
Our International Women’s Friendship Group usually meets in a member's home, ending with delicious snacks brought in by two members. We have a core group of 15-20 members from 13 different countries.
This year's programs, each given by one of our members, are: “About Theatre”, "TEDTalk on Stress”, "US Music Tour”, and "Travel Report from Bali”, just to mention a few.
Our biggest event is a Sing-Along and a dish-to-pass with international dishes in December at Natalia’s house. (Planning ahead for next year--Dec.
20, 2018 at Natalia’s house.) Our annual dish-to-pass with husbands and friends takes place in May, which is our last meeting before we meet again in the Fall.
Experience has shown that some of the most successful meetings are those where all members are given the opportunity to talk on one special topic. And last but not least, we have lots of fun and enjoy each other’s company. Jette Lundgren, [email protected]

Performers Group – 3 programs per year, dates TBA
The Performers’ Group is an activity group for Campus Club members who play an
instrument or sing, and who wish to share their music with others in an informal
setting. Our membership includes listeners who do not perform but who enjoy the
gathering of amateur musicians to hear interesting and often memorable programs of
mostly classical music. We encourage performance on a variety of instruments and
levels. (photo from June 2017 of violin performance)
Our first meeting this year included a wonderful and varied program of music by
Scarlatti, Satie, Brahms, Ibert, Kreutzer, Haydn, Loeillet, Corrette, Handel, and
Schumann. We were treated to outstanding performances on piano, flute, recorder and
voice, after which we enjoyed seasonal refreshments.
We welcome new members, both performers and listeners. If you would like more information or have questions, you may contact one of our activity leaders. Charette Wheelis, [email protected] Jane Dieckmann, [email protected]
(photo from June 2017 of flute performance)
Quilting – 1st Wednesday, 1-3 p.m., September - June
At the Campus Club Quilting Group meetings there's always show-and-tell: a short program about a neat quilting
technique, instruction on how to make a particular block, or ideas on putting various color combinations
together. We often do a project for donation to a local charity. The main purpose of the group is to share our love
of quilting and support each other in our creative endeavors.

homes.

Wanderers – 5 trips per year
The Wanderers began their Fall 2017 adventures with a September 19 trip to explore small, but creative, local
housing alternatives. We toured Buzz Dolph's latest Tiny Timbers community going up in Ellis Hollow, as well as
his bermed house, Swiss Chalet, and original Tiny House settlement across from Ithaca Quarry. We proceeded to
Bruno Schickel's European, fairy tale-style settlement of Boiceville cottages in Brooktondale. We spent the
afternoon on a tour of the new Unit 3 Tree housing at Ecovillage on West Hill, and finished up the day across the
road at Gourdlandia, Graham Ottison's magical world of all things gourd, tiny fairy houses included. We enjoyed
lunch at Agava Restaurant for a mid-day break. (organized by Ellen Lane)
On November 2, the Wanderers spent the day discovering the rich history of Central New York in King Ferry, Aurora and Genoa. We had a guided tour of Ledyard Farms, a family farm that is a showplace where Morgan horses, Scottish Highland cattle and Icelandic sheep are major attractions. We visited three small regional museums: The Howland Stone Store Museum; The Rural Life Museum; and Smith’s General Store Museum. With the aid of docents and volunteers, we stepped back in time to learn
about abolitionists and suffragettes; rural education in one room schoolhouses; and the evolution of a country store. We also had a wonderful lunch at Dugan’s Country Grill, a place we’ll be sure to include when we wander the area in the future. It was a wonderful day that everyone enjoyed. (organized by Rochelle Woods & Nora Shang)
The Wanderers had an extremely warm winter day on January 11, 2018 when we visited the DeWitt Mall with our guide, Inshik Lee, who showed us one of the 45 apartments, and the former Middle School mural auditorium. We had lunch at the Moosewood Restaurant. Afterwards, we listened to a talk at Sew Green with Wendy Skinner on how she teaches boys and girls to sew. She also repairs sewing machines. At the Press Bay Alley, we visited the Circus Culture and were informed about their classes. The owner of Life’s So Sweet presented each member with a tasty chocolate. Last but not least, Loaves and Fishes’ director, gave us an overview of the 150 daily meals they prepare from donated food and the advocacy they are providing for the needy and poor in our community.

What Do You Know – 2nd Tuesday, 7:30 p.m.
This is the second year of the meeting of the minds of a group of wonderful, witty, and wise women. We get together once a month, but what a get-together it is! There seems to be no end to the creative approaches that are taken when considering the various topics that we gather around. And there seems to be no end to the laughter that bubbles up around the table.
We've considered sounds and their impact and meaning, seen fabulous glass art, learned about globalization of culture as we ate deliciously sweet pebber nodders, listened to original stories and poetry, drank mulled and many other wines, learned about fire and discussed its significance in the fields of evolution, racial politics, ceramics, geology, as well as being charmed by the vision of a tiny granddaughter belting out "This girl is on Fire!!" while stuck in the check-out line at Costco.
How do we pick the topics? In the fall everyone writes something on a piece of paper, and they are tossed into the magic choosing hat. (A different hat than the one at Hogwarts.) Once a month the topic is chosen and word sent out via email a week or so before the meeting. Participants are asked to decide if they want to talk (10 min. maximum) or listen and eat, so no pressure and lots of fun. And, really good snacks!
Onward and upward and into the spring!!

Wine Explorers (NEW!)– Monthly
NEW this year, the Wine Explorers Activity Group, had a great registration at the Fall Coffee and signed up 42 members. We added a few more after the Coffee for a total of 45. We have been meeting monthly at Wineries, Wine Shops, and member's homes. The objective is to learn about winemaking, taste our way around the globe, share a specialty at a winery, experience a food pairing, and socialize with new and interesting friends and enjoy a glass or two of wine.
We began the year with an introduction to grape harvesting and wine making in the Finger Lakes and tasted a selection of wines at Six Mile Creek Vineyards. Then we brought our favorite wine under $20 to a blind wine tasting at a member's home and shared our thoughts, laughs, and experiences. Our third event was held at Swedish Hill Winery and the owner spoke about producing his specialties of sparkling, dessert and ice wines along with tastings of several selections from his production line and finally two dessert pairings, yum! Our latest event featured the owner of Red Feet Wine Market at a member's home, to share her immense
knowledge of a "Tour de France" through geography, terroir, and sampling of red & white wines from the various regions. We have more to come this year and hope to have you join us in the future.
