SUMMARY:[NEW] Economics Group - Nicholas Fels & Raymond Scalettar
DESCRIPTION:  \nECONOMICS & LEGAL AFFAIRS GROUPS/PROGRAM COMMITTEE \nThe End of Roe Tuesday\, August 30\, 6:30 pm \nAttorney Nicholas Fels (’19) and physician Raymond Scalettar (’91) will summarize the majority opinion in Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health Organization and its underlying rationale\, as well as those of each of the two separate concurrences and of the dissent. They will describe the implications of the decision for other constitutional rights recognized by the Supreme Court\, such as the rights to privacy and to same-sex marriage. \nThe pair will address broader issues – previously less addressed in the media: the intrusion by government into reproductive health\, its effect on the doctor-patient relationship\, potential HIPAA violations and Dobbs implications\, as viewed by major medical organizations and practitioners\, for medical ethics and public health. They will also deal with Dobbs far-reaching economic consequences and likely exacerbation of social inequities. \nFels\, a retired partner in the law firm of Covington & Burling LLP\, sits on the boards of Lawyers Defending American Democracy and DC Appleseed Center\, of which he is a co-founder and past chair. He holds a BA and JD from Harvard and an MA from UC Berkeley. After law school and before joining Covington\, he clerked for John Minor Wisdom on the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and worked as a legal-aid lawyer in Alhambra\, CA. \nScalettar\, a clinical emeritus professor of medicine\, GWU Medical Center\, has had a lifelong interest in the socio-economics of healthcare and its impact on under-served populations. He pursued these initiatives as president and chair of the board of the DC Medical Society and as a member and past chair of the board of trustees of the American Medical Association (AMA). The AMA has been active on issues of reproductive health and the consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade. Read the amicus by the AMA and other medical organizations here. \nCocktails at 6:30 pm; dinner at 7 pm. Price: $48. \nReserve online or with Member Services at memberservices@cosmosclub.org or call 202-797-6443.

SUMMARY:Civil War Group - Chris Graham Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:CIVIL WAR GROUP \nRe-interpreting Richmond’s Civil War Past Friday\, August 19\, 12 pm EDT \nNowhere has the challenge of coming to terms with our Civil War past been more compelling than in Richmond\, VA\, the capital of the Confederacy. All statues on the city’s Monument Avenue have come down. What next? \nIn discussing how Richmond’s American Civil War Museum has responded to this challenge\, Chris Graham will share insights derived from his work as curator of exhibits. He’ll explain how “historical imagination” – with context and meanings shifting over the decades – has shaped our understanding of the past. And he’ll describe how current displays at his museum and elsewhere have the power to influence our collective futures. \nPrior to coming to the museum\, Graham taught history and museum studies at UNC\, Greensboro. He is the author of the forthcoming book Blind Spots: The Racial Reckoning of a Southern Church. The museum itself is a multi-site operation\, based on a merger less than a decade ago. It now operates three facilities\, one in Appomattox\, VA\, and two in Richmond: the Museum of the Confederacy in the former Confederate White House and a central structure at what once was the Tredegar Iron Works. \nRodney A.

SUMMARY:Program Committee - Cruising with the Club - Nick Glakas
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM COMMITTEE Cruising with the Club \nParis – Three Perfect Days Thursday\, August 18\, 4 pm \nOf all the world capitals\, Paris is unquestionably the most elegant. Its attractive mélange of haute couture and top-end cuisine\, spectacular art collections and architectural spectacles\, Gothic churches and romantic cafes\, makes it justifiably the most visited city in the world. \nFew capital cities have so many world-class museums\, majestic monuments and lovely gardens sprinkled within so many beautiful and charming neighborhoods. Few can rival such great landmarks as Napoleon’s monumental arch\, Eiffel’s magnificent tower or Louis IX’s breathtakingly beautiful private chapel. \nOn our first day\, come for a stroll down the Champs-Elysee\, through the Place de la Concorde\, into the Jardin des Tuileries and an afternoon visit to the Louvre. On our second day\, wander the Left Bank\, stopping in at the Musee de Cluny\, the Musee Rodin and Les Invalides. On our third day\, explore the Right Bank and the Palais Garnier\, Musee Picasso and the Place des Voges. These are just a few of the sights we will visit. \nOur guide for three perfect days in Paris is Nick Glakas (’09)\, retired lawyer\, cruise ship lecturer and repeat visitor who believes that if Paris is not the most beautiful city in the world\, it is certainly way ahead of whatever is in second place. \nAll participants must be fully vaccinated. No charge for program. \nReserve online or with Member Services at memberservices@cosmosclub.org or call 202-797-6443.

SUMMARY:Wine Group Sold Out
DESCRIPTION:WINE APPRECIATION TASTING  \nHidden Secrets of the Capitol Tuesday\, August 16\, 6:15 pm \nThe US Capitol\, which has been under nearly constant construction since the foundations were laid in 1790\, holds many secrets. Participants at the August wine tasting will explore parts of the Capitol that few people have the opportunity to see. Climbing to the roof parapets and crawling into the very lowest cellars\, they will get a closeup view of the “hidden” art and architecture of the Capitol and hear some of  the stories of the people and politics that made them. \nThe secrets will be paired with food and wine from the countries of the artists\, architects and manufacturers. The evening will start with sparkling wine from England followed by dinner of antipasto\, grilled hanger steak with green pepper sauce and watercress-fennel-citrus salad paired with wine from France\, Italy and Virginia. Dessert will be a roasted pear tart with vanilla crème and Vin Santo. \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. \nStarter wine at 6:15 pm; tasting and food at 6:30 pm. Limit of sixty-four with three guests per reservation. Price: $65. Proof of vaccination required for all attendees. \nContact Member Services at memberservices@cosmosclub.org or call 202-797-6443.

SUMMARY:[NEW] International Affairs Committee - Paul Schmit
DESCRIPTION:INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE \nAn Extraordinary Luxembourg Diplomat Monday August 8\, 5 pm \nPaul Schmit\, Luxembourg’s ambassador to Poland since 2020\, will discuss his book An Outstanding Luxembourg Diplomat\, which describes the extraordinary life of late ambassador Hugues Las Gallais during the turmoil of World War II. This informative work (published in French in 2019 and released in English translation in 2021) includes a reference to the Cosmos Club. Several pages in the book detail the interactions between Sumner Welles and Gallais. (Welles\, the second husband of Mathilde Townsend\, inherited the mansion that later became the Club’s home.) \nThe book describes the life of a diplomat who represented Luxembourg’s interests in Washington\, a diplomatic post of key importance for Luxembourg\, particularly during the World War II. During the period when the Grand Duchy was occupied by the Nazi invaders\, Gallais was successful in bringing Grand Duchess Charlotte and her ministers to America and keeping the Luxembourg cause alive. The phrase “put Luxembourg on the map” is attributed to him. \nSchmit studied law at the University of Strasbourg and political science at Paris 2 University. After his studies\, he joined the Luxembourg civil service\, first in the Ministry of Defence (1991-1992)\, then in the Foreign Ministry\, where he has served since 1992. He has completed several overseas assignments\, including in Brussels (permanent representations to NATO and to the European Union)\, Washington and Lisbon. At one point\, he served as deputy chief of mission\, Luxembourg Embassy in Washington. \nC. Naseer Ahmad (’13) International Affairs Committee  \nMembers may sign a chit for drinks to accompany the complimentary cheese tray. No charge for the lecture. Those wishing to dine after the program need to make a separate dinner reservation. \nProof of vaccination required for all attendees. \nReserve online or with Member Services at memberservices@cosmosclub.org or call 202-797-6443.

SUMMARY:Library Committee - What Are We Reading? Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:LIBRARY COMMITTEE \nWhat Are We Reading? Tuesday\, August 2\, 1 pm EDT \nPaul Shiffman (’06) will present Catherine Belton’s Putin’s People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and Then Took on the West. Published in 2020\, Putin’s People is the riveting account of the life of Vladimir Putin\, his career as a KGB operative and Vice Mayor of St. Petersburg and his rise to total power in Russia. Its particular focus is on how he and his acolytes\, mostly from the Soviet intelligence community\, funneled money abroad as the USSR collapsed\, brought it back into the new Russia and used it to build their own financial empires in a new form of what author Belton calls “KGB capitalism.” How Putin dealt with his political opponents\, as well as supporters who ran afoul of him\, forms a major part of this well-documented thriller. \nSusan Fifer Canby’s (’08) choice is Robert Kolker’s Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family. The book tells the true story of an American family with twelve children\, six of whom were afflicted with schizophrenia. It was one of the first families whose DNA and life experiences formed the basis of a study by the National Institute of Mental Health and formed the cornerstone of research into this mental disease in the mid-20th century. The book is part medical detective story and part heart-rending family drama. \nJoe Page (’04) Library Committee \nClick the link below to join the Zoom meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81688802635?pwd=dEZUK21xMzdNcHByek1Jelk4MXR6UT09 \nMeeting ID: 816 8880 2635 Passcode: 425885 \nOne tap mobile +13126266799\,\,81688802635# US (Chicago) +16469313860\,\,81688802635# US \nDial by your location +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 931 3860 US +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 444 9171 US +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) Meeting ID: 816 8880 2635 Find your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kcBoPWNi8z \n  \ntg

SUMMARY:Art Committee - Dennis Gurtz\, Ralph Ehrenberg & Don Hawkins
DESCRIPTION:Dennis Gurtz\nRalph Ehrenberg\nDon Hawkins\n\n\n\nART COMMITTEE \nDC History through Historic Maps Friday\, July 29\, 12 pm \nCollector Dennis Gurtz (’08)\, Ralph Ehrenberg (’11) and Don Hawkins (’04) will explore early Washington\, DC\, as related by the 18th and 19th century maps and art on display in the Crentz Room. \nThis exhibition features select maps and artworks from Gurtz’s collection which provide a pictorial history of the District of Columbia from the 1790s through the Civil War. These works—many of them rare or unique—depict the original conceptualization of the “Federal City\,” the dramatic Burning of Washington in 1814\, the architectural importance of the Capitol Building and other monuments\, and the city’s role as a hub of Union Army activity. \nEhrenberg\, who during his career directed first the Cartographic Archives Division of the National Archives and then the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress\, will provide an overview of the maps on display within the broader context of mapping the early Federal city. \nHawkins\, formerly chairman of the Committee of 100 on the Federal City\, who some years ago curated the long-term exhibition at the National Building Museum\, Washington: Symbol and City\, will discuss how the maps reflect changes to what initially\, based on the Residency Act of 1790\, was the 10-mile-square Federal District. \nGurtz\, a former president of the Washington Map Society\, and current chair of the steering Committee of the Philip Lee Phillips Society that supports the work of the Map Division at the Library of Congress\, will describe how he became a collector and point to significant and favorite items chosen for the exhibit. \nServed lunch at noon. Price: $24. Proof of vaccination required for all attendees. \nReserve online or with Member Services at memberservices@cosmosclub.org or call 202-797-6443.
