From the General Manager’s Desk
W
e are fresh in to
the New Year, the
traditional time to take
stock of the past and make
resolutions for the year
to come. For the club,
February is the New Year
equivalent. The Club’s
Annual Meeting will be
held on Monday February
20th. For the benefit of our
newer members, the annual
meeting offers a summary of
the year’s activity followed by
Paul Kroll, CCM
the Annual Meeting’s Dinner.
General Manager
We’ll review the successes
and opportunities of our
club’s operations and governance…and feast on delicious
shrimp in the process!
At the meeting we will recognize President Mark Collins, as
he ends his one year term. He will continue to serve on the
Board as Past President , which will allow us continuity for
many of the worthwhile projects that he has instituted. He
has led the Club with great vision, with great compassion,
and with great intelligence. Please join me in thanking him
for his excellent leadership.
We will also bid farewell to two Board members: Jim Vutech
and Past President David Royer. David led the Club through
some tumultuous times, and his steady manner guided
us and brought the Club to more stable conditions. Jim
has dedicated many hours of creative thinking, committee
support and personal commitment to the Club. Both of
these gentlemen took their duties to the Board and to the
Club very seriously and their energies will be missed.
There is plenty to review this year as there has been an
incredible amount of activity around the club. We’re proud
to report a very solid list of positive achievements. Our list
includes maintenance of the club’s facility, introduction of
a ‘Town and Country’ styled alliance with the Columbus
Country Club, placement on the Register of National
Historic Places, and renewing the club’s Strategic Plan, to
name a few. To relay the news of prior months and offer
a glimpse of the coming year, this and subsequent ACCent
magazines will supplement information you might typically
hear at an annual meeting.
“At the Athletic Club of Columbus, we foster friendships,
encourage leadership, and promote healthy living.” These
are things we do every day at our club without a second

thought; they act as the undercurrent of why we love this
club. Many of you probably don’t realize that this is, in
fact, our mission statement – and we are pleased to see
these sentiments lived everyday by our membership, staff,
member committees and Board.
As we take stock of where the club currently “is,” we can
look to our actions with the confidence that we have been
living the mission. The areas of achievement mentioned
above are strong signs of the club’s ability to continually
develop the fundamentals, take advantage of opportunities
and to be creative, and are all indicators that we are on the
right track.
A theme of this past year would speak to the ‘foundation’
work that is intended to hone the club’s ability to realize
in full fashion and with consistency, the club’s vision
and mission. After an unnerving several years of feeble
economy, we have returned to this fortifying work as can
be witnessed by our focus on staff operations and club
offerings. Committees and Staff are working toward similar
goals of increased new member acquisition and retention of
current members. Our philosophy is that as we will continue
to advance our vision through the continual improvement of
our governance, service, and amenities.
This past year, the management team has made a head start
in the execution of a renewed Strategic Plan. Prior to the
strategic sessions of members in the Fall of last year, the
Club’s most recent formal strategic plan was completed in
2003. The Board of Directors has determined that the House
Committee will formalize this process from November and
December and will ensure that the operating game plan is
gaining the expected ground throughout the year. Finally,
the House Committee will determine when the current
strategic plan is exhausted and a new plan is needed, so as
to perpetually keep the Club’s momentum moving for the
future.
On Thursday, January 12, Vice President Joe Biden visited
the Athletic Club as part of a trip to the Columbus area. He
met briefly with supporters at a private event on the Club’s
second floor.
Elisabeth Hire, daughter of long-time members (since 1967)
Charlie and Andrea Hire, was among the traveling staff, as
she serves as the Director of Operations for Vice President
Biden. While the Vice President visited on the second floor,
she enjoyed a moment with her parents in Carmichaels. She
recalled the ACC fondly, recounting childhood meals when
she enjoyed great shrimp cocktails and she and her sister
Laura would sneak to the second floor to catch a glimpse of
wedding receptions!
T
his is my last message as your Club President, and I
would like to thank our General Manager Paul Kroll,
Jr., and Board and Committee members for the support
given me during my term. Led by Paul, the ACC Executive
Staff (Sarah, Ashley and Marte) has also been hugely
supportive during my Presidency. The skills and experience
demonstrated by our Committee members, combined with
their heartfelt love of the Club, has allowed us to make some
remarkable advances this year, and I am proud to have been
a part of the action.
Please plan to join us on Monday, February 20th for our
Annual Meeting/Dinner (see page 7.) This is a great time
to get together with your friends from the Club to relive
the past year and to learn about what’s in store for our
Centennial year. As is our tradition, there will be plenty of
shrimp on hand!
Some highlights that marked my Presidency include our
joint three-year venture with Columbus Country Club that
we entered in to on May 1, 2011. This unique agreement
offers members from both Clubs expanded privileges, and
allows us to appeal to prospective members by offering “one
membership” for a full town and country club experience.
It’s an exciting approach that adds member value and
increases recruitment opportunities.
Also in the past year, we were honored by acceptance to
the National Register of Historic Places. This was an arduous
three-year application process, and we will be celebrating
this major achievement in the Spring.
Our application for 501 C 3 Status was approved during my
tenure, too. This special tax-exempt designation from the
IRS allows us to seek donations for specific areas of the Club.
The Red Brick Foundation will help guide the fundraising
efforts, ensuring that the dollars are used specifically for the
earmarked projects.
There has been even more good news on the financial and
membership fronts for the Club. We have most recently
had four months of positive numbers for the first time in
many years, and our cash position has improved over last
year. Plus, we welcomed 34 new members in the month
of December….our largest incoming membership class
since November of 2007! These numbers demonstrate an
increasing interest in all that our Club has to offer, as well
as successful efforts from existing members as they invite
friends and colleagues to join in the camaraderie at the
Club.
President’s Message
Overall, the good news is that
our membership numbers
have stabilized, our Private
Events revenues are gaining
ground, our cash position
is favorable, and presently
our only debt is the parking
lot. The coming year will
present several challenges.
We need to address several
larger capital items which
include the basement vault
and sidewalk replacement.
We also hope to upgrade
Mark Collins
the bowling facility,
President
making it more usable for
our membership and more
appealing as event space for
clients. Your monthly capital assessment dollars are helping
address these needs. With these projects in mind, it is easy
to understand why growth of our membership is vital to the
health of our Club.
Looking ahead, on February 24, Lisa Antolino will officially
take the lead as Club President for our Centennial year. How
fitting that the Club welcomes its first female President
during this special time! We are fortunate to have her guide
us during our Centennial. Lisa is well prepared as she has
served on and chaired many committees over the years, and
is extremely active at the Club on a daily basis.
We have an excellent slate of candidates for the 2012
elections. We are fortunate to have Dave McCurdy
returning for his second three- year term. Dave has been a
tremendous resource for me throughout my term. Also on
the slate is Carla Sokol and Mark Vannatta. Both Carla and
Mark have been very active in our committee system. We
are lucky to add the skill set and experience that these three
members offer to our current Board of Directors. You can
read more about them on pages 6 and 7.
Also in February, we bid farewell to two dedicated Board
members: David Royer and Jim Vutech. Both David and
Jim have logged countless hours in committee and Board
meetings and they have helped guide our Club through
some challenging times. Our recent financial success is
due largely to the vision of David, and there is no more
innovative thinker than Jim. Please join me in thanking
these gentlemen for their years of service to the Club.
It has been my honor to serve as the President of the Club,
and I again thank you for your support.

responded by inviting friends and colleagues to join us here at the ACC!
There is no better time to enjoy the warm, welcoming atmosphere of our
Club.
We are offering reduced initiation of just $250 for the winter months, so

Board of Directors Elections
David M. McCurdy
Mark E. Vannatta
Member Since 1989
Member Since 1987
Current Position:
VP, Kimball Midwest
Current Position:
Partner - Vorys, Sater,
Seymour and Pease, LLP
Dave has been an active member of the Athletic Club since
1992. He has enjoyed the Basketball League, the fitness and
dining facilities and still enjoys the swimming pool on cold
winter days with his children.
“It is a special privilege for me to be asked to be a candidate
for the Board of Directors of the Athletic Club. The Club
has meant a lot to me over the years. Since leaving the
military in 1988, the Athletic Club has served as a wonderful
environment to get away from the workplace experience. I
have participated in a basketball league game one night a
week for many years. During that time, I have developed
many wonderful friendships with teammates and opponents.”
Dave was born and raised in Springfield, Ohio, graduating
from Springfield Catholic High School. He is a graduate of
the United States Naval Academy, Class of 1981, where he
majored in mechanical engineering. Following graduation
from the Naval Academy, Dave was commissioned an Ensign
in the United States Navy and began aviation training. Dave
earned his wings of gold as a Naval Flight Officer in 1983 and
flew aboard the P3 Orion anti-submarine warfare aircraft
from 1983 to 1988. During that time, he served two 6-month
deployments, one to Bermuda (nice) and one to Iceland (not
so nice).
Following his resignation from the United States Navy in
1988, Dave returned to central Ohio and began working with
his brothers at their family-owned business, Kimball Midwest.
He is the Chief Operating Officer at Kimball Midwest, a
distributor of MRO parts to customers in 48 states with
distribution centers located in Columbus, Dallas and Reno.
Dave continues to work closely with all six of his brothers.
They include ACC members Pat, Jon, and Chas.
Dave lives in Upper Arlington with his wife, Elisa. They have
three children- Brendan 27, a sales rep for Kimball Midwest in
North Dakota; Kaitlin, 25, a fourth-year medical student; and
Madison, 9, a fourth-grader at The Columbus School for Girls.

Mark graduated from Bowling Green State University in May,
1984, and from The Ohio State University College of Law in May,
1987. He joined the law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease
LLP in August, 1987, and became a partner at Vorys in January,
1995. He is a member of the Probate and Tax Group, working in
the areas of estate planning, estate administration, non-profit
corporations and charitable giving.
Mark currently serves on the boards of The Wexner Center
Foundation and I Know I Can. He is a member of The Legal
Advisory Committee of The Columbus Foundation and is a
member of the Editorial Advisory Board of The Probate Law
Journal of Ohio. Mark has previously served on the boards
of a number of other non-profit corporations, including The
Leukemia Society of Central Ohio and Prevent Blindness - Ohio.
Mark initially joined the ACC in December, 1987, and has been
an active member ever since. He is a regular on the athletic
floor over the noon hour, and he has previously served terms on
the Athletic Committee and the most recent General Manager
Search Committee. He is a current member of the House
Committee.
Mark recognizes the significant role the ACC has played in his
personal and professional development.
“I have been a member of the ACC for as long as I have been
at Vorys. Through the ACC, I have made numerous friendships
and relationships with clients, colleagues, other Columbus
lawyers and other Columbus business people.”
Mark looks forward to becoming a Board member so as to
ensure that “current and future members are able to receive
the same benefits and rewards [he has] received as a member
of the ACC.” He understands that the Club’s future is heavily
dependent upon the efforts of its current membership.
Mark resides in Upper Arlington. His wife, Julie, is a lawyer at
The Ohio State University, performing all of the legal work for
the Department of Athletics. Mark and Julie have two sons:
Eric (18), a freshman at DePauw University, and Kevin (16), a
sophomore at Upper Arlington High School.
Annual Meeting and Dinner
Carla A. Sokol
Member Since 2001
Current Position:
Owner & Race Director,
Events Plus Racing
“While I was growing up, I used to have my birthday parties
at the Athletic Club on Saturday mornings in the pool, but
we had to be out by a certain time before it reverted back to
naked swimming for the men,” Carla recalls.
A native of Upper Arlington, Carla Sokol has been enjoying
the Athletic Club for years. Her father Si Sokol became a
member in 1978 and Carla joined in 2001. After graduating
with a degree in Communications from Denison University,
Carla worked in marketing for ESPN; first in New York and
later in Los Angeles. After years of coaxing by her father and
her brother John, Carla returned to Columbus to work in the
golf industry for The Memorial Tournamnet / HNS Sports
Group, serving as a tournament director and hospitality
manager.
After seven years, Carla gave up the golf industry to become
an entrepeneur and she started Events Plus Racing, a
multisport race company organizing duathlons, triathlons,
and kids races. She also serves as the Race Coordinator for
the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon. For
five years, Carla was a morning spin instructor at the ACC, but
she had to give it up due to a knee injury.
Prior to her injury, Carla competed in endurance events.
She has completed several half marathons, triathlons, the
180 mile Pelotonia course, and an Ironman 70.3 race. She is
the Peloton captain for the ACC’s team in Pelotonia and she
chairs Team ACC. Team ACC is the Club’s swim, bike and run
club, and as the chair, Carla often organizes events, trying
to energize people to participate in club activities and other
races in town.
Carla has served on the Athletics Committee and the House
Committee. You can often spot Carla working out early
in the morning or lingering around trying to market ACC
merchandise to get the brand on the street.
“I am passionate about the Athletic Club and want others to
enjoy it as much as I do. This is my happy place.”

From time to time, life brings changes
that affect our financial picture: new
jobs, promotions, retirement, births,
deaths, marriage or divorce, etc. Such
life changes make it necessary for us to
periodically review our financial plans to
determine if they are still working toward
our current and future goals.

Athletic Director
ur winter programs, classes, and
clubs are in full swing this month!
The “I Lost It At The Club” program
has over 60 members competing
for points & prizes. Our annual Gym
and Swim program has over 100 kids
flooding the Athletics area on Saturday
mornings, and the Basketball and
Squash leagues are deep into the
season and into tournament mode.
We have been delighted to see more
and more of the membership getting involved in our Club
sponsored Athletic activities. To further expand the Club’s
reach, one thing that I would like to highlight this month
is our member-driven small groups. These groups usually
consist of 4-10 members who share a common interest and
many times are looking to add to their ranks. They participate
in activities that are not on our group fitness schedules or
in our Club programming, but are nonetheless an important
part of our Club. A few of the groups that I want to showcase
this month are:
• E’s Club 5:05 –a group spearheaded by longtime ACC
member Eric Niermeyer. They do intense resistance training
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning at 5:05 AM. If
you are willing to get out of bed, they are willing to have you.
• Next up, we have a group of P90X’ers led by 2 ACC Board
Members, Tim D’Angelo and Jim Vutech. This group meets
most weekday mornings at 6 AM in the Group Fitness Studio.
• If you would like to play pickup basketball during the
week we have groups that play at 6:30 AM and 11:30 AM
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. All age groups are
represented – some of our most “seasoned” players Jim Betts
and Warner Trautman can be spotted battling it out with the
young guys at lunch.
• Outdoor cyclists may be happy to know that in these
winter months, several ACC members ride using indoor
trainers on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings. ACC
member Rob Ferguson is happy to fill you in on the group.
This is just a small sampling of groups within our Club. I
salute these men and women for taking it upon themselves
to create fun and lasting connections!
