SUMMARY:Wine Group Sold Out
DESCRIPTION:WINE APPRECIATION TASTING \nWine\, Art and Music Tuesday\, March 21\, 6:15 pm \nWine\, art and music go hand in hand in most wine-making regions. One can even say that art and music are a spiritual part of the terroir. In the first spring tasting of 2023\, participants will sample a multicolored range of wines\, while enjoying lively glimpses of visual and musical creations from the corresponding wine regions. \nThe evening will start with a dry white sparkling wine produced in the Ukrainian city of Odessa using the charmat method. Guests will notice the mirror-finish surface of the bottle\, akin to Jeff Koons’s balloon sculptures. A three-course dinner will follow. The first course will be accompanied by two smooth whites from Armenia and Georgia\, made from known as well as less known grape varietals. We will then taste two skin-contact whites\, one from Spain and the other from Georgia\, while exploring the differences and similarities. The main course will be accompanied by two flights of reds\, which will provide a comparison of the Georgian saperavi and the Armenian areni and sireny grapes with the traditional French medoc blend. The evening will close with dessert and the delicious zigu\, a fortified wine from Georgia made from almost four hundred grape varietals\, including some rare ones sourced from the Vine and Wine Museum. \nThe evening’s menu will be specially prepared to best match the wines. Carefully chosen music and art will be an integral part of the program\, making the evening a satisfying immersive experience. \nAnna Katalkina Wine Group \nFormat: For the Wine Appreciation Tastings\, only tasting-size samples are poured of each of the selected wines. In fairness to all participants and the staff\, attendees will be offered not more than that amount and only a single pour. In the unlikely event that any wine is left at the end of the tasting\, attendees will be given the opportunity to help themselves. \nOpening cocktail at 6:15 pm; tasting and food at 6:30 pm. Limit of sixty-four with three guests per reservation. Price: $65.

SUMMARY:LGBT & Allies - Gene Robinson
DESCRIPTION:LGBT & ALLIES \nFaith\, Love\, Acceptance Tuesday\, March 21\, 12:30 pm \nGene Robinson was elected bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire in 2003\, becoming the first openly gay and partnered bishop in historic Christianity. Despite concerted efforts to block his ordination\, it went forward and he has been a visible force in demonstrating to persons of faith the power of love and acceptance. Working at all levels of government\, he has lobbied for equal protection under the law and full civil marriage rights. In 2014\, Robinson was named by the Washington Post as one of the twenty-one most influential LGBTQ+ people in the nation’s capital. His book God Believes in Love helped many religious people turn from hostility and toward inclusion. Robinson is the father of two grown daughters and the grandfather of two granddaughters. He will share highlights of his work and offer guidance to those who experience religion as a weapon\, not a gift. \nServed lunch at 12:30 pm. Price: $27.

SUMMARY:[NEW] Library Committee - Edward J. Larson Hybrid Event
DESCRIPTION:  \nLIBRARY COMMITTEE/AMERICAN HISTORY STUDY GROUP \nProblem of Slavery in the Age of Revolution Monday\, March 20\, 6:30 pm \n**Updated 3/17/23: This event will now take place in-person and virtually over Zoom.** \nFor many leaders of the American Revolution\, the threat of enslavement by the British Parliament and Crown was their rallying cry\, while slavery based on race was a distinct conundrum that had been part and parcel of settlement of the Americas since the Spanish explorations in the early 1500s. By 1700\, nearly two million Africans had been sold into slavery in the western hemisphere and abolitionist sentiments and movements were developing and growing in the North American colonies over a century before 1776. Did the fear of enslavement by white colonists deepen abolitionist settlement or further racism that would justify freedom from British overlords in support of a revolution to preserve slavery? \nEdward J. Larson\, professor of history at Pepperdine University\, explores these questions in American Inheritance: Liberty and Slavery in the Birth of a Nation 1765-1795. Would Americans embrace racism in society’s institutions\, or gradually end not just the slave trade but slavery as an organizing force? Was the Declaration of Independence trumped by the Constitutional debates in 1787 and the adoption of the three-fifths clause\, or did the Constitution create room for the eventual end to slavery nearly a century later? American Inheritance is a fresh look at the politics\, morals and philosophical beliefs of not only the Founding Fathers\, but of the common farmers\, merchants and the freedmen and enslaved of the era. \nPulitzer Prize winner Larson is a graduate of Williams College and Harvard Law and earned a PhD in history of science at U Wisconsin. \nBill O’Neill (’16) Library Committee \nCocktails at 6:30 pm; dinner at 7 pm. Price: $50.

SUMMARY:Library Committee - Marie Yovanovitch Hybrid Event
DESCRIPTION:  Photo by Jennifer Watkins \nLIBRARY & INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEES \nLessons from the Edge Thursday\, March 16\, 6:30 pm (presentation at 8 pm EDT; time subject to change) \n**Updated 3/3/23: This event will now take place in-person and virtually over Zoom.** \nIt may be hard to recall that Ukraine was often in the US news before Russia invaded the country in February 2022. Just three years ago\, Trump’s impeachment scandal related to Ukraine was making headlines. This story plays out in Lessons from the Edge: A Memoir by Marie Yovanovitch\, former US ambassador to Ukraine\, who with little explanation was abruptly removed in the middle of the night from that post by the Trump administration. Her efforts to fight corruption and support good governance in Ukraine eventually came out in her 2019 testimony before the House Intelligence Committee impeachment inquiry. \nMuch of Yovanovitch’s 30-year state department career centered on the post-Soviet world. In addition to her post in Ukraine\, Yovanovitch was US ambassador in the Republic of Armenia and the Kyrgyz Republic. Prior to those posts\, she served in Moscow\, London\, Ottawa and Mogadishu and held senior posts domestically. She was dean of the School of Language Studies at the Foreign Service Institute\, principal deputy assistant secretary for the state department’s Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs\, where she coordinated policy on European and global security issues\, and deputy commandant and international advisor at the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy\, National Defense University. \nA member of the senior foreign service\, Yovanovitch received multiple awards. Today she is senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and non-resident fellow at Georgetown’s Institute for the Study of Diplomacy. \nThe evening’s program will be moderated by William Courtney (’14)\, former US ambassador to Kazakhstan and Georgia. \nMarguerite Sullivan (’07) Library Committee \nCocktails at 6:30 pm; dinner at 7 pm; presentation at 8 pm EDT (time subject to change). Price: $50.

SUMMARY:American History Study Group - Jon Grinspan Rescheduled
DESCRIPTION:  \nAMERICAN HISTORY STUDY GROUP \nAmerican Politics Tuesday\, March 14\, 12 pm \n**Updated 3/16/23: This event has been rescheduled to Monday\, April 17.** \nReformers have often criticized American politics for its low citizen turnout in presidential elections\, lack of citizen interest and involvement and domination by elites. Surprisingly\, for much of American history none of these conditions prevailed. Voter interest and turnout for elections were extremely high\, politics was a game in which people participated heavily and everybody understood the rules of the game. The results of this style of politics was not necessarily welcomed. As Jon Grinspan shows in his new book The Age of Acrimony: How Americans Fought to Fix Their Democracy\, 1865-1915\, Americans revolted against the political system that prevailed after the Civil War and substituted a wholly different style of politics in the early 20th century. \nGrinspan is a senior curator at National Museum of American History and is the author of several books on American history and politics. \nServed lunch at noon. Price: $28.

SUMMARY:Program Committee - Mary Bogle\, George Jones\, Scott Kratz\, Dionne Bussey-Reeder & Tiffany Williams
DESCRIPTION:Mary Bogle\nGeorge Jones\nScott Kratz\nDionne Bussey-Reeder\nTiffany Williams\n\n\n\n PROGRAM COMMITTEE Alleviating Poverty Series \nAlleviating Poverty: The Universal Basic Income Approach Monday\, March 13\, 6:30 pm \nCould a “universal basic income” help win the battle against poverty in America? In the first of a three-part series of Club programs on strategies to reduce poverty\, five experts will discuss the innovative “THRIVE East of the River\,” a program similar in concept to universal basic income\, which was piloted in DC at the beginning of the pandemic. Four leading non-profits – Bread for the City\, Building Bridges Across the River\, Far Southeast Family Strengthening Collaborative and Martha’s Table – created and implemented THRIVE in service to Ward 8\, where most residents are Black and one-third of families have incomes below the federal poverty line. Direct cash payments of $5\,500 and other assistance were provided to more than six hundred families. The payments – perhaps the largest privately funded cash relief payment ever offered in the US – were unconditional: recipients chose where to direct the support\, typically among food\, health\, housing and job training. The organizations asked a senior research team at the Urban Institute to follow THRIVE and provide an assessment. The institute concluded that THRIVE “show[ed] special promise as an equitable means of assisting families of color. . . disproportionately affected by health and economic hardships during times of crisis.” \nMary Bogle of the Urban Institute will lead a discussion of THRIVE and its outcomes with the partnership’s principals: George Jones (Bread for the City)\, Scott Kratz (Building Bridges Across the River)\, Dionne Bussey-Reeder (Far Southeast Family Strengthening Collaborative) and Tiffany Williams (Martha’s Table). \nPaul Eckert (’17) Program Committee \nCocktails at 6:30 pm; dinner at 7 pm. Price: $50.

SUMMARY:Science & Technology Committee - Cass R. Sunstein
DESCRIPTION:  \nSCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE \nNudge: Past\, Present and Future Friday\, March 10\, 6:30 pm \nSince the 2008 publication of Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health\, Wealth\, and Happiness\, the term “nudge” has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople\, policy makers\, engaged citizens and consumers everywhere and given rise to more than 400 “nudge units” in governments around the world. The book explores thoughtful “choice architecture” – a concept Cass R. Sunstein and Richard Thaler invented – to help us make better decisions for ourselves\, our families and our society. \nIn 2021\, the authors updated the book\, based on experiences in and out of government in the intervening years as well as an explosion of new research in numerous academic disciplines. They offer new insights about a wide variety of issues\, including Covid-19\, health\, personal finance\, retirement savings\, medical care\, climate change and “sludge” (paperwork and other nuisances that we don’t want and that keep us from getting what we do want)\, all while honoring one of the cardinal rules of nudging: make it fun. \nSunstein\, currently a Harvard professor and founder and director of the program on behavioral economics and public policy at Harvard Law\, has spent his career working at the intersection of science\, technology and policy. In 2018\, he received the Holberg Prize\, sometimes described as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for law and the humanities. He has been administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and has advised officials at the UN\, European Commission and World Bank on issues of law and public policy. \nCelia Merzbacher (’19) Science & Technology Committee \nCocktails at 6:30 pm; dinner at 7 pm.

With each course\, the chef discusses the dish and answers questions. To retain the integrity of these carefully orchestrated menus\, substitutions will not be offered. \nFood and Beverage Director Eun Yim selects wines to accompany the courses. As they are poured\, she talks about the grape and the vineyard. Her selections complement the food and introduce diners to items on the Club wine list they might not otherwise have considered. \nSpace is limited to eighteen seats. In fairness to all\, reservations are restricted to members only or members with just one guest. \nPrice: $150.

SUMMARY:Education Group - Dick Jung Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:EDUCATION GROUP \nAn Uncommon Academic Wednesday\, March 8\, 12 pm EST \nDick Jung (’96) is now an emeritus head of school\, board leader and consultant for charter and independent schools as well a former high school English teacher and policy analyst for the department of education. His new multimedia biography\, Michael Kirst: An Uncommon Academic\, reveals an accomplished career\, in and out of government\, of a man who has made\, and continues to make\, a big impact on public schools in and beyond California. \nUsing audio and video clips from the online version of the book\, Jung will explore: 1) What makes Kirst “an uncommon academic”? 2) What might Kirst teach us about education reforms that stick? 3) What makes this biography uncommon as well? \nKirst is considered “the father” of California’s Local Control Funding Formula\, a 2013 financing and governance law that he helped conceive as a Stanford emeritus professor and then implement as president of the state board of education. This major school reform\, still in place today\, represents a capstone of Kirst’s six decades in academia and public policy\, starting with his role in the Johnson administration. Jung’s biography offers new insights into the genesis of this and other education initiatives spawned by Kirst and his extensive web of colleagues and proteges. \nJung received his doctorate from Stanford\, where he was the teaching assistant for Kirst’s politics of education course as Proposition 13 hit California. Jung earned his BA from U Missouri-St. Louis\, where he was recently honored with its 2022 distinguished alumni award. \nJulia V. Clark (’13) Education Group

SUMMARY:Program Committee - Maria Manuela Goyanes
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM COMMITTEE \nTheater Industry and Culture Tuesday\, March 7\, 6:30 pm \nFor the past 40 years\, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company has been known for productions that are edgy\, challenging\, thought-provoking and contemporary\, among them The Peculiar Patriot (2019)\, a personable take on our prison system; recent sell-out hits Ain’t No Mo and Just for Us\, which addressed race and antisemitism\, respectively\, and A Strange Loop\, an absorbing musical about a Black queer man aspiring to write a musical. \nMaria Manuela Goyanes had been artistic director of Woolly for just 18 months when the pandemic hit. Undaunted\, she determined to find a young actor for the production she planned to mount after Covid\, A Strange Loop\, and succeeded. In December 2021\, Jaquel Spivey\, just 23\, opened in Michael R. Jackson’s brilliant play to rave reviews. Within months A Strange Loop had moved to Broadway and would earn a Tony Award for best musical. \nGoyanes believes audiences look to theater to help them understand the world. Her vision for Woolly is to tackle social issues head on with plays that sometimes make audiences uncomfortable but can also make them laugh. She will address the state of our theater industry\, how our culture is changing and the reasons that the theater scene in DC is one of the most dynamic and vibrant in the country. \nBefore joining Woolly\, Goyanes\, a first generation Latina-American\, was director of producing and artistic planning at the Public Theater in New York\, where she oversaw many successes including Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton. \nKaren Thomas (’17) Program Committee \nCocktails at 6:30 pm; dinner at 7 pm. Price: $50.
