3. PAGE 00SUMMER 2014 THE MEMBER EXPERIENCE
www.princetonclub.com
PAGE 3
Our Community and Clubhouse. Over the past several months, we have
continued to successfully deliver on two key member priorities:
• Develop a broad range of opportunities to socially gather in
our Clubhouse
• Offer varied and robust University-sponsored and University-related
events for graduates, undergraduates, faculty and staff, and their families
In addition, our professional staff continues to improve services throughout all
Club functions, including food and beverage.
Last spring, we took on two additional member priorities:
• Upgrade the appearance and functionality of the first floor and
guestroom areas of the Clubhouse
• Expand business-related workspace for members in the Clubhouse
For those of you who frequent the Clubhouse, you may ask why progress on
these two priorities has been uneven, and it is important that this letter address
those issues.
On the upside, we had a successful Voluntary Capital Contribution campaign,
which raised the funds needed for a number of critical items:
• A striking but cost-efficient renovation of the lobby areas of
the Clubhouse
• Brand new exercise equipment in the gym
• Improved seating in the library and lighting in the members’ lounge
However, priority items are yet to be completed:
• The creation of a dedicated business center
• The upgrading of our guestrooms and hallways
• Further improvements to our athletic facilities

FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Fellow Members –
Springtime brings an expanded focus on our
outreach to membership of the PCNY, and to
that end, I want to share both our progress in
meeting member expectations and our plans
for continuing that progress in the months
to come.
A Key Investment Not Visible to the Eye. The Club has invested in a Cloud-
based information technology system to allow for integrated information
management across our accounting, marketing and membership functions.
Over the next few months, members who interact with our website will notice
considerable ease of digital communication when making reservations for Club
events, dining, and guestrooms, as well as improvements in bill pay and instant
online account review.
Our systems were generations behind the times, and we believe all members
will benefit from these upgrades.
The Financial Front. A secondary set of technology improvements in our
accounting system and the retooling of our financial department staff have
improved our bottom line results over the past 12 months. Despite these
monetary savings, operating expenses are increasing due to:
• Labor cost increases
• Real estate tax increases
• Food and supply cost increases
As a result, we need to increase our flow of revenues which requires us to come
to you, our members, to ensure that we continue to maintain and operate our
programs and facilities to the level expected and requested by the membership
at large.
After careful consideration by our Finance Committee – and after thorough
deliberation and discussion by the full Board of Governors – it has been
decided that:
• A modest increase in dues will be included in your annual statement.
This will be the first increase since 2011 and comes after a dues reduction
was implemented in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.
• A modest Capital Improvement Fee will be added as part of the renewal
fee for membership in the Club.
By spreading the funding of these costs across the entire membership, we are
minimizing the contribution that any one member will make, while continuing
to ensure all members benefit from these improvements to the Club.
Where will the proceeds from the Capital Improvement Fee go?
These proceeds will be set aside to fund:
• The creation of a business center
• The continued modernization of guestrooms
• The upgrade of functional spaces in the Clubhouse
The details for these improvements will be communicated to all members
as plans progress.
The Board is excited to begin these much needed and asked for improvements
to the Clubhouse and anticipates that you will be very pleased with the results.
I thank you in advance for your cooperation and your continued membership
in the Club.

COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
Anne Flournoy stars in a hilariously funny web series called “The Louise
Log”, which was nominated for a 2013 Shorty Award and was selected
for screening at this year’s LAWEBFEST. But before venturing to the
web, Flournoy was an award-winning feature film writer, producer and
director. How did she make the transition from traditional long-form
story-telling to creating cutting-edge comedy shorts online?
Inspired by innovation, Anne will share her discovery of the many ways
that content and platform influence this new art of short-form film-
making for the web. She will also screen segments from her web series.

HERE IS WHERE: DISCOVERING AMERICA’S FORGOTTEN
HISTORY WITH ANDREW CARROLL
WEDNESDAY, MAY 21
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM ~ LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
HOST: LUCY ULLMANN
Where in North America was the oldest
sample of human DNA discovered? Which
relatively unknown American scientist saved
millions of lives? Where did America’s
deadliest maritime disaster take place?
How many unmarked places are there
where intriguing events have unfolded and
that we walk past every day, not realizing
their significance?
Andrew Carroll—author of three New York Times best-selling
books—chronicles his journey across America exploring unmarked
historic sites where extraordinary moments occurred in his newest
book Here is Where: Discovering America’s Forgotten History.
The places we pass by often harbor amazing secrets, and there are
countless other astonishing stories still out there waiting to be found.
THOMAS FLEMING, A DISEASE IN THE PUBLIC MIND:
A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF WHY WE FOUGHT
THE CIVIL WAR
TUESDAY, JUNE 3
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM ~ LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
HOST: ARLYNE KRUM
Interested in the American Revolution, Civil War
history, and all that went into helping form the United
States of America as it stands today?
By the time John Brown hung from the gallows for his
crimes at Harper’s Ferry, Northern abolitionists had
made him a “holy martyr” in their campaign against
Southern slave owners. But Northern distaste for
Southerners predated their objections to slavery. They
were convinced that New England, whose spokesmen
had begun the American Revolution, should have been the leader
of the new nation. Instead, they had been displaced by Southern
“slavocrats” like Thomas Jefferson. This spiteful envy exacerbated the
South’s greatest fear: a race war. For decades, they hated each other,
and extremists insulted and threatened each other, creating hard-
hearted enemies. By 1861, only a civil war could save the Union.
Thomas Fleming, a distinguished historian, is the author of more
than fifty books covering America history, military history, politics
and more!

ANCIENT WISDOM AND MODERN MEDICINE:
PLANTS, PEOPLE, AND CULTURES IN THE TROPICAL
RAINFOREST
TUESDAY, JUNE 24
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM ~ LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
HOST: JOSE PINCAY-DELGADO
Of the 420,000 species of higher plants known to exist on earth, about
half are found in the tropical regions of the world. This lecture discusses
the study of plants used in traditional healing by indigenous cultures, the
science of ethnomedicine.
In seeking to show the utility of traditional medical knowledge and
practices in the modern world, as well as preserve the biodiversity upon
which it depends, scientists find themselves in a race against time, with
both ecosystems being destroyed and the ancient wisdom about the
plants and their environment rapidly being lost.
Dr. Balick will introduce his new book, Rodale’s 21st Century Herbal: A
Practical Guide for Healthy Living Using Nature’s Most Powerful Plants,
a work that has been inspired by ancient texts known as “herbals,” a
genre of books on the therapeutic use of plants published widely during
the 15th-18th centuries.
THE “PRINCETON MOM” AT THE PRINCETON CLUB
THURSDAY, JULY 17
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM ~ LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
HOST: ROCCO STAINO
In March 2013 Susan Patton ’77—aka The “Princeton
Mom”—set off a media storm when she wrote a letter
to The Daily Princetonian advising female undergraduates to
use their time at Princeton to find a spouse. She has said
that she “spent almost ten years after college dating men
who weren’t as interesting, educated, or accomplished as my
[Princeton] classmates had been.” Since the publication of her
book, Marry Smart: Advice for Finding the One, she has been
featured by the Today Show, CNN, Time and The Washington
Post. This will be an intimate discussion with Ms. Patton about her
views on Princeton University, marriage, being a woman, and a
parent ’10 & ’14.
THE FOUNDERS DIVIDED: THE BATTLE BETWEEN
RADICALS AND CONSERVATIVES FOR CONTROL OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
TUESDAY, JULY 22
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM ~ LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
HOST: CHRIS LOOMIS
Come hear New York University Professor David
Lefer recount extraordinary tales about forgotten
founders who saved the American Revolution
and brought capitalism to the U.S. Author of
The Founding Conservatives, Lefer connects the
remarkable lives of John Dickinson, author of
the Articles of Confederation, Robert Morris,
America’s first banker, James Wilson, the
champion of free-market capitalism, and John Rutledge, the savior
of South Carolina, among others. He demonstrates how the founding
conservatives championed American liberty while staying faithful to their
ideals. The Washington Times calls his new book, “a splendid narrative
history....an intellectual adventure story full of big ideas and gunfights!”
David Lefer is a historian and professor at New York University.
Previously a journalist, Lefer has worked at the New York Daily News,
Newsday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the China News in Taiwan and
was co-producer of the PBS talk show The Digital Age. He collaborated
with Sir Harold Evans on They Made America, the best-selling history of
American innovation.

RESERVATIONS BECOME FINAL SALE ON
WEDNESDAY, JULY 23.
From noblemen in Renaissance Italy to pension managers
in 20th century England, art is perceived by many to
be a store of value as well as a potential hedge against
inflation. Recent years have seen the growth of art
collateralized lending, with universal banks, specialist
lenders and high-end “pawn shops” all participating in
this market. Against this backdrop is the emergence
of Freeports, which have sprung up all over the world.
Regarded by some as modern day treasure vaults, their
secure environment and quasi-official status place them
in a special position at the crossroads of the global
art market.
This lecture with Angelo Chan will commence with a
comparative study of the main Freeports serving the
art market, as well as the competitive landscape within
which they operate. It will then proceed to explore the
role that Freeports could play as custodians of cross-
border art financing transactions.

Can’t Make an Event You
Reserved For?
Here’s How It Works:
Free Events: Our plans change all the
time in this city, but when you reserve for
an event, we hold a seat for you. Please
call, email, or go online to cancel your
reservation by noon on the day of the event
so another member may use your place and
you can avoid a $10 no-show fee and guest
charges.
Paid Events: Occasionally events are final
sale or have a final sale date, so please check
the full event description prior to making
your reservation. Can’t figure it out? Just
give the Program Office a call, and we will
be happy to assist you. If an event has no
final sale date listed, please cancel two
business days prior to the event to avoid
being charged.
