August Happenings are Happening!

We at The City Club are always looking to create dynamic, interesting and compelling events – whether giving members a first look at the Chevy Volt (thanks to member David Barthmuss of GM) or sampling viticultural jewels such as Robert Craig with consulting Winemaker Keith Emerson (also of Vineyard 29) - there is always something happening at The Club!

On August 12, our members will be led through an aromatic array of rare Single Malt Scotch Whiskies by Ed Kohl, industry veteran and spirits expert. Hosted in conjunction with Whiskies of the World , this is a wonderful opportunity to educate yourself about variety of flavors available, and also about food pairings that complement whisky.

On August 19th, we have two terrific events. Our monthly roundtable luncheon hosted my Member David Jamison welcomes Stan Slap, a noted speaker and author of Bury My Heart at Conference Room B: The Unbeatable Impact of Truly Committed Managers will be on hand to introduce his new book, on stands August 12. According to his website, "The World Needs This Book." So, this event is highly recommended, and sure to be entertaining as well as informative. If you are interested in learning more about attending this event, we would be happy to extend an invitation to you to participate.

On the evening of the 19th, we are also saying a last "hurrah" to Wicked, prior to the show closing (for now!) in San Francisco. Members and their guests will be treated to a delightful pre-theatre dinner and then will be whisked off to orchestra seats just in time for the curtain to rise. We have members who have seen the show numerous times as well as those who have never seen it – and it is sure to be a treat for all!

Another highlight of the member events in August is the newly formed Investor's Forum. This forum is designed to inform as well as be a way to exchange information. Our topic on the 25th is The Nuts and Bolts of the 401(K): The Owner's Manual – and we will be gaining valuable insight on the topic from the perspective of not just one, but two special guests - Eric Petersen of Hicks Pension Services, and Kari Lusby of Nationwide Financial.

These are just some of the great events we have lined up for this month – for more details or to see what other great benefits members can access, take a look at our website or visit our online calendar for more details.
