Please note our updated schedule of operation:The Main Dining Room will be closed for the summer season beginning Friday, June 29th, following lunch service. It will re-open on September 4th.

G E N E R A L M A N A G E R ’ SCorner

Ah, summer! The air is warmer, the pace is slower, the challenges of winter are but a distant memory, and life is just plain easier. It is a time when we consider taking a much needed break from our daily tasks and put into motion those well crafted plans for that much anticipated vacation. As you embark on your travels, keep in mind that in all likelihood, you will not be too far from the Penn Club. Our wide ranging list of reciprocal clubs stands ready to serve you wherever you may be. Please keep in mind that a letter of introduction is required for usage of any of our reciprocal clubs. These letters can be arranged through our Administrative Office, and it would be a good idea to have them sent before you head off on your travels. That way you will not run the risk of trying to make your ar-rangements at a time when the Club’s offices are closed.

The House Committee has asked me to remind you that the use of cell phones, portable computers and other portable business equipment is not allowed in our Lobby, Living Room/Kite and Key Bar, Main Dining Room and Grill Room (during mealtimes). The exception to this regulation is the use of E-Readers, iPads and PDAs in their non-phone/quiet applications is permitted throughout the Clubhouse. The Penn Club is for the quiet enjoyment of all of its members and phone conversations, clicking of keyboards and audible digital entertainment are all con-trary to that quiet enjoyment. We appreciate your respect of our traditions and your assistance in maintaining the decorum and spirit of our distinctly private social Club.

In addition, the House Committee recently reviewed the use of the Clubhouse in terms of our smoking policy. As I’m sure you are aware, smoking is not permitted inside the Penn Club. The one exception has been on one of our guestroom floors. Upon review, it was noted that there is now very little demand for smoking rooms at the Penn Club. As a result, the House Committee has decided to make the Club a 100% smoke-free building as of Sep-tember 4, 2012. We are grateful for your cooperation and understanding with this decision.

Over the summer months, we will undergo our an-nual deep cleaning of the Clubhouse. The next couple of months will be used for repairs, maintenance and a general “sprucing-up” of our wonderful property. At the same time, we will review the conditions of our furniture and fixtures and make any necessary replacements. Our commitment has always been to the ongoing high quality of our facilities and services, and the enthusiastic support of the Club’s Board of Directors and membership in this area has been instrumental in our ability to continuously names as one of the Platinum Clubs of America.

My staff and I look forward to being a part of your Penn Club experience, and hope you will enjoy a safe and healthy summer. We hope to see you often at your home-away-from-home in New York, and look forward to welcoming you back from your vacations and travels.

Annual All-ivy Beer tasting: saison |Thursday, August 16th, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Considered at the turn of the millennium by some beer authorities to be an "endangered" variety, saison has seen an unparalleled resur-gence in the past decade. Originally created as a refreshing, low-alcohol beverage for French farmhands (each entitled to five liters a day and few letting any go to waste), the modern-day incarnations are fuller-bodied while maintain-ing the yeasty tones of their ancestors. (Some saison are blended with lambic beer after fermentation is complete.) Often called "farmhouse" ales in the New World, these beers have been front and center in many competitions in the past seven years. Join us in sampling a variety of these brews origination from New York and lands further afield.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Kendra Sandidge, Young Alumni CommitteeKendra Sandidge, College 2008Penn Club Member Since: July 8, 2011Lives in (City, State): New Rochelle, NYCurrently Single/Married with Kids? Married?? Kids?? I’m too young for all of that.Hobbies: Reading, dancing, shopping, experimenting with bright Essie nail polishes & writing.In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job? Talk to people in different departments across the firm about

the suppliers and services they want to onboard. It’s quite interesting.Do you have a special talent? Giving great advice. Seriously, most people aren’t good at it.Where do you like to vacation? Stone Harbor, NJ. (The Jersey Shore…but it’s far from Snooki & crew.)Why did you join the Penn Club? I wanted to meet more NYC Penn alums.What do you often do at the Penn Club? Any event sponsored by the Young Alumni Committee. Also, I make frequent use of the complimentary coat/bag check anytime I’m in the city and have too much to carry.What is your favorite dish? I’ll take sweet over savory any day, so it’d have to be Carousel Cake’s Red Velvet Cake. It’s one of Oprah’s favorites, and the NY Giants ate them before home games and the Super Bowl for good luck.What's your drink? Sprite and any coconut liqueur.Why did you choose to attend Penn (if Penn alum)? I went on a summer tour and the guide told us to close our eyes, take a deep breath, and try to

envision ourselves as freshmen studying on the green. She said we’d get a special feeling if Penn was the place for us. Of course, I felt it! And then, when I was accepted, I knew Penn felt it too. Were you named after anyone? My middle name is from my maternal grandfather’s middle name. He was Robert Lee and I’m Kendra Leane. My mother found my first name in a sewing magazine.If you were a crayon, what color would you be? LavenderWhat book are you currently reading? Skippy Dies. I read it last year, and it’s one of my favs. (Thank goodness I finished the final 50 Shades of Grey 2 weeks ago.) Who's your favorite person living or dead, real or fictional (excluding family)? Carrie Bradshaw. I’m currently saving for Manolo Blahnik strappy sandals & a quilted leather Chanel bag.What's the last thing you saw on Broadway? Billy Elliot.How often do you eat out? Usually every Friday night.What's hanging above your sofa? A replica of Vincent van Gogh’s “Starry Night.” I like to tell guests that I painted it, but really, I snagged it for super cheap at a sidewalk sale three years ago.How much is too much to spend on a haircut? It’s hard to spend more than $80 at the hair salon or $15 for a manicure.When's bedtime? 11:00 p.m. When's the last time you drove a car? Yesterday. It’s not the biggest deal in Westchester.
