November/December 2015 - The Athletic Club Of Columbus
ACCent Magazine THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE ATHLETIC CLUB OF COLUMBUS • SINCE 1912 NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2015 100! Capture the Moment see page 5 for details mother-son bowling O K T O B E R F E S T 1st Annual Game Olympics As we move into the November and December holiday seasons, as members of the ACC, we have many things to be thankful for. We will have celebrated the 100th anniversary of our clubhouse, completed our first year of successfully operating The Booth, continued to develop new health and fitness programs including updating our cardio equipment. Paul Kroll and his management team are continuously striving to enhance your membership experience, as demonstrated by the very positive feedback on our private events and dining operations. In making your plans for holiday gatherings and family outings, please keep the ACC in mind. Whether it is Brunch with Santa, Martini’s & Mistletoe, or just an intimate family or office gathering, the ACC should be top of mind to you. Please contact our private events staff to begin planning. Also, as you may recall, the Board recently approved food and beverage charges on weekends to apply towards your quarterly minimum. If you are downtown for a concert, show or Blue Jackets game, stop in at the ACC for a pre- or post-event cocktail! The Board is continuing to analyze input from the Facilities Committee as it revises the Master Plan for the clubhouse. We have recently engaged a nationally recognized design team specializing in hospitality spaces to provide us with recommendations on how we can revitalize the first floor facilities for all members of the club. One thing that you should be very proud of is that when this group made their first visit to the club, they were “bowled-over” by what we had done with The Booth. They indicated that “we get it,” regarding ways we can utilize our crown jewel’s uniqueness in today’s highly competitive social environment. Look for more information on this early next year as the Facilities Committee and the Board begins to finalize decisions on our next investment of our capital dollars. Best wishes and we will see you around the club. P lan your holiday events at the ACC! Corporate parties • Family dinners • Bowling Contact Tessie in our Events Office: 614.545.1356 CLUB NEWS W.

MOROCCAN OIL SALE: December 8 - 22, 15% off Moroccan Oil products sold at the ACC Spa. ACC Spa Gift Certificates make fabulous holiday gifts! ACCent Magazine • 3 CLUB NEWS Paul Kroll, Jr., CCM General Manager Heading into the cold months, members and staff alike welcome the increase in activity in all areas of the club. Busy dining rooms, Squash and Basketball clubs both ramped up, and Rod and Gun programming gets very…interesting. If the seasonal shift to downtown activity isn’t enough, Chef John Wolf and Sous Chef Sam Westlake have put together solid, soul-satisfying menus this fall for weekend Brunch, as well as for Carmichael’s, The Grill Room and The Booth. Some of the favorites for Brunch: House smoked salmon benedict, and yes, the salmon is smoked in house; Pecan and Molasses Granola with Snowville Creamery yogurt and fresh berries; Corned Beef and Hash with sweet potatoes and hollandaise; and don’t forget Athletic Club Roasting house coffee, of course. Keep in mind the recent Board decision to include weekend food and beverage purchases in your F&B minimum, making brunch a win-win-win for your family. Just in time for the busy season, we have a new tool to help us along our path to reliable, exceptional service throughout the club. The prized service experience is a balance of roughly equally a servant’s heart and a craftsman’s attention to detail. In order to hone in on where we stand currently, and move toward the prized service experience, we’re pleased to announce the introduction of a new member feedback system called Humm. You’ll be able to experience this system in Carmichael’s and The Grill Room for the time being. While traditional surveys are very helpful for gauging an overview, it is difficult to use such a static document as a tool to help our operation improve. We know that exceptional hospitality service requires ongoing communication of everyone involved. The Humm system enlists a mini Samsung tablet that offers simple functioning and immediate feedback, and it only takes you about 20 seconds to complete the questionnaire! Over time, we will move the tablets among our dining outlets and the athletics floor with the goal of reinforcing clubwide service standards.

Forty-seven Columbus business men, believing in the future of their city and confident of the demand for a large and well-equipped club with athletic and social features, gathered together on the evening of September 26, 1912, and organized the Athletic Club of Columbus, with Mr. Henry J. Booth as its President. By May 1, 1913, less than six months after organization, the Club membership had grown to over 800. Consolidation with the Ohio Club was then effected, and on July 1, 1913, the Athletic Club of Columbus began operation in its own quarters on the twelfth floor of the Columbus Savings & Trust Building (now known as The Atlas Building,) with an enrollment of 1,000 members and a waiting list. Plans were soonthereafter launched for a new home for the Athletic Club of Columbus. In November 1915, the doors to the newly erected Athletic Club of Columbus clubhouse at 136 East Broad Street opened. Celebrate 100 years of the ACC clubhouse with us on November 6, 2015! A festive cocktail party will be held in the ballroom from 6 - 7:30 PM. RSVP online. We offer more than sound legal advice. We offer people who understand your needs.
