WNDC Spring Arts Exhibition
A Letter from the WNDC President
Dear Members:
The first day of Spring brings a sigh of relief not only
to the Programming Committee, but to the President
and staff as well; it means no more weather-related
cancellations. Still, for our hardworking individuals
who run the Club, both staff and volunteers, there
are many other day-to-day considerations to weigh.
At monthly Board of Governors meetings when our
Treasurer explains the monthly Profit & Loss statement, what emerges as our “bottom line” is generally
positive and accurate. This healthy state of affairs is
the result of constant monitoring, plus a number of
initiatives:
As March turns to April, a concerted effort is
underway to hire a General Manager. The Club
has side-stepped this payroll commitment for a
number of years now. However, juggling the
demands of managing the WNDC as a museum,
a social club, and an event space is very timeconsuming for volunteers. It is also an inefficient
way to manage this building. In addition, our staff
will benefit from more consistent supervision and
I expect members to benefit greatly, as well.
We have retained key staffers who are instrumental in the smooth functioning of the WNDC. We
have continuing dialog with certain employees to
monitor conflicts, while we’ve encouraged work
place development. In the case of our chef, a new
job description was established that enhances our
kitchen operations, and reduces waste.
The VP of Administration has worked hard to
oversee the development of a new Personnel
Manual, and we oversee a monthly staff meeting
that includes the entire team.
Employees who were not functioning in a
professional capacity, or who lacked sufficient
work were let go, accompanied by a generous
severance package.
Reception: Wednesday, April 8, 2015
Shanthi Chandrasekar
Ballroom Gallery
Image Right: Chakra-Orange
Shanthi Chandrasekar is a selftaught artist who studied physics and
psychology. While many of her works
are influenced by her Indian heritage,
her true inspiration comes from the mystery and majesty
of the world around her; her muse lives where the scientific overlaps with the spiritual.
Shanthi’s works have been displayed in galleries and
institutions throughout the Washington D.C. area. She
has won numerous awards for her artwork including a
recent grant from the Maryland State Arts Council in
2013 for Works on Paper.

Margaret Huddy
Upstairs Gallery
Image Right: Wind at the Capitol
Margaret Huddy's luminous,
realistic watercolors capture
the play of light on land and
cityscapes. Painting a subject,
such as the monumental buildings in Washington, DC, or
architectural monuments around the world in the varied
light from dawn to dusk, helps her study the effects of
light. Years of experience working en plein air enable
her to capture the quality of light she desires when
back in the studio. Margaret Huddy is a signature,
award winning member of the American and National
Watercolor Societies as well as the Watercolor USA
Honor Society.

20th Annual Women
Ambassadors Conference
Panel Discussion
March will be a big month for U.S.Israeli relations and for the Middle
East. On March 3, Prime Minister Netanyahu will address a joint session of the U.S. Congress
to oppose an Obama-Administration-backed deal
on Iran’s nuclear program. On March 17, Israel will hold
parliamentary elections, and then form a new coalition
government, with or without Netanyahu. On April 1, the
Palestinian Authority is scheduled to join the International
Criminal Court, opening the door to possible international
sanctions against Israel. WNDC member Warren Clark,
husband of Betsy Spiro Clark, will assess the impact of
these developments on U.S.-Israeli relations, the IsraeliPalestinian conflict, and in the broader Middle East.
Ambassador Clark is a retired Foreign Service officer
who served in the Middle East, Africa, and at the United
Nations. Since 2008, he has been Executive Director of
Churches for Middle East Peace, a coalition of national
church groups that conducts education and advocacy to
end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Women Ambassadors
Foundation and Howard University will
celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Annual Women Ambassadors Conference on April 2 and 3, 2015. As thenFirst Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton put it on the occasion
of her Howard University Commencement address in
1998, "The Women Ambassadors Conference is one more
example of Howard University pushing the envelope."
Time: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Price: $22.50 Members & Non-Members
The objectives of the conference are to honor the women
ambassadors (of 176 ambassadors in post in Washington, only 20 are women) and to provide college students
of the DC area with an overview of the hot-button
issues in international affairs. Each panel is composed
of a foreign diplomat, a professor, an NGO representative/
expert and a U.S. government official in order to allow the
students to see the same topic from various angles. The
theme of this year's conference is "Security, Democracy,
and Prosperity."

Thursday, April 9, 2015 (Lunch & Tour)
DC Dupont Circle
Underground Project
Tour is Free for lunch attendees
NO “TOUR ONLY” OPTION
Tour begins at 2:00 pm
Once a trolley station, 75,000 square
feet of tunnels and spaces below
Dupont Circle and the Connecticut
Avenue underpass were opened in 1949—and closed in
1963 after the city’s streetcar system was shut down. In
the late 1960s, it was designated as a fallout shelter, and
became a short-lived food court in the mid-1990s. It has
remained empty since then. The nonprofit Arts Coalition
for the Dupont Underground (ACDU)—founded by architect Julian Hunt, co-principal of Hunt Laudi Studio, a D.C.based architecture and urban design firm—will redevelop
this former trolley station. Beginning by transforming the
east platform, the project will activate the space through
art- and design-related events, public performances and
other gatherings, as well as temporary commercial uses.
ACDU will also be working on long-term plans to permanently redevelop all 75,000 square feet as a mixed-use
cultural destination. It will showcase new artists and designers, and new technologies.

Karin Tanabe
Nancy J. Altman
The Price of Inheritance, Washington
Women Writers Series Two
Social Security Works!: Why Social
Security Isn’t Going Broke and How
Expanding It Will Help Us All
After eight years in the American
Furniture department at Christie’s,
twenty-nine-year-old Carolyn Everett
is a rising star. But one wrong
decision and a scandal leaves her
unemployed and broken. Desperate to piece her life back
together, Carolyn leaves New York City to work in a tiny
antique store in Newport, Rhode Island. The Price of
Inheritance is a rare find of a novel. Engaging, suspenseful, and full of intrigue, it delves into the elite world of big
bucks deals and dangerous black market promises, where
one woman must decide whether she’s willing to gamble
her greatest asset—her heart.
Karin Tanabe is a Washington, DC-based fiction writer
and former Politico reporter whose writing has appeared
in the Chicago Tribune, the Houston Chronicle, Newsday,
The Miami Herald, and The Washington Post. She has
made frequent appearances as a celebrity and politics
expert on television, including on Entertainment Tonight,
Inside Edition, and CNN. The book will be available for
purchase and signing.
WNDC
For more than 30 years, billionaires
have been trying to convince the
public that Social Security is headed
for collapse. They are wrong. In fact,
the time is right to expand Social Security, the key to
retirement dignity for millions of workers and their families.
Nancy J. Altman has a 40-year background in the areas
of Social Security and private pensions. From 1983 to
1989 she was on the faculty of Harvard's Kennedy School
of Government and taught at Harvard Law School. In1982,
she was Alan Greenspan's assistant when he chaired the
bipartisan commission that developed the 1983 Social
Security amendments. Before that, Ms. Altman worked
with Senator John Danforth on these issues. There is
much more about her that makes her the person to talk to
us about this very important issue. She has written many
books and holds many positions that encompass her life's
work. The book will be available for purchase and
signing.

to the Chesapeake Bay
Time: 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Price: $25 (Light Supper $15;

After centuries of over-harvesting
and devastating diseases, the Chesapeake Bay oyster

the Bay’s health. Now, native oysters are more abundant,
fewer are dying from disease, and more than a billion
hatchery raised baby oysters have been added to the Bay.

inhabitants. After working for U.S. News & World Report,

and the Everglades. She has produced programs for the
Children’s National Medical Center, As associate director
of American University’s Center for Environmental
Filmmaking she taught filmmaking for ten years. Both

President Abraham Lincoln and

Cottage served as bookends for Civil War — he first visited the grounds three days after his inauguration and last
rode out to the site on April 13, 1964, the day before his
assassination.
Our tour will include the house and visitor center, followed
by a picnic lunch on the cottage grounds. Afterwards,
those interested may visit the nearby historic Rock Creek
Cemetery to see the famous sculpture by Augustus SaintGaudens - “Grief,” commissioned by essayist Henry
Adams after the death of his wife Clover in 1885. For

President’s Letter
continued from page 1….
Sigrid Fry-Revere
Solving the Organ Shortage:
Lessons from Iran
Dr. Sigrid Fry-Revere is the first
westerner ever to interview legal
kidney sellers in Iran, the one country
in the world that claims to have solved
its kidney shortage. She spent two months in that country
interviewing her subjects and filming without permission
from the government. Rarely does an adventure story
carry such social significance. The Iranian system of
organ donation is not perfect, but it is nothing like the
black markets of other countries and also much different
from what Americans have been led to believe. The Iranians have tried many different approaches and learned
much over 30 years of experimenting with compensating
donors. Come and hear what there is to learn from Iran
and see how understanding the history of compensated
kidney donation in Iran may be the key to solving the
organ shortage in the United States and elsewhere.
Finally, I’d like to address some misinformation that
plans are being readied to transfer ownership of the
Club to the Educational Foundation. To be clear, there
are no current plans to transfer ownership. Any such
plans would mean that for some time now, we’ve been
in serious dialog with a tax attorney. Let me clarify that
the idea has been “floated” with an attorney at just one
meeting. The real purpose of this meeting was to determine the need to budget for a slight modification in our
property tax exemption. Apparently, this idea of transferring ownership is revived from time to time around the
Board Room table, but it has never before survived
serious legal scrutiny. We are finding that this is true
now as well.
Please be assured that the Club will continue to function
as it always has, with a solid team that works to improve
upon the functionality of our mansion as a social and
political Club, and a treasured museum. Lastly, if you
have any concerns at all, tell me! Pat Fitzgerald always
knows where to find me.

Sharing our Knowledge and Stories
With YWLP
This year’s students in the Young Women’s Leadership
Program have displayed a keen interest in our club.
Unfortunately, the multiple snow days and delays have
affected their ability to visit and attend programming.
The students have articulated interest in issues surrounding women in leadership, current political events, social
justice (particularly with respect to women), and the
suffrage movement. The EF is asking members who have
personal experience or specific knowledge in these area
to meet with the students to provide a one hour presentation/informal talk for the students. These presentations
would occur at the Club, preferably over lunch time on
Fridays or other days in which the club is not booked for a
program. If you would like to help stimulate and education
these young women leaders, please contact Noreen
Buchanan ([email protected]).
