Message from the President
Happy New Year Members!
December brought us two outstanding member events, our Sugar Plum Ball and of course, our New Year’s Eve Gala. Our Social team of Janet Pollinger, Pat Rizzo and Jane Monico outdid themselves! The club was absolutely beautiful for both events. Huge thanks go to Chef Mike, Lou and our entire kitchen and bar staff and volunteers for their hard work to make these events run smoothly. Sadly, we said goodbye to Phil Farino, who is moving to South Carolina. We wish Phil and Zina the very best! Next, Tim Rippey helped us say goodbye to 2018 and ring in 2019 with fabulous entertainment! Thank you, also, to our wonderful members who come out to enjoy these events. We do it for you!
I am looking forward to so many great events our Social team has planned for 2019. We begin the year with our IASC’s Got Talent show in January. Please plan to join us. Tickets are available now! And mark your calendar for Pub Night with Tito on the 26th. Always a fun night!
December brought some challenges, too. Freezers needed repair, roof leaks were taken care of and electrical problems were addressed. Your support of the club on Tuesdays, Fridays and at our dinner dances makes it possible for us to maintain our club and keep it the Best Club on the Strip!
Thank you to my board of directors for all of your help during my first 6 months as president. I couldn’t do it without you!
Prayers go out to all our members who have suffered illness and loss. Please, if you know a member who is hospitalized, ill or has passed, let us know so we can acknowledge them.
I am looking forward to a wonderful 2019 with my IA family!!

Fred DeLuca
Frederick Adrian “Fred” DeLuca was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1947, lived in public housing in the Bronx, then moved to Schenectady and ultimately to Bridgeport, Connecticut. From humble beginnings he grew the largest quick service restaurant chain in number of units (Subway has close to 45,000 locations worldwide) and Subway was reported by Forbes magazine to be worth $3.5 billion dollars.
Not a bad return on a $1,000 investment. He is among a host of franchise founders who started poor and like Dave Thomas (Wendy’s) and Bill Rosenberg (Dunkin Donatus), had an idea and then grew companies that literally changed America.
The Subway story begins with a 17-year old’s desire to attend college and asking a family friend for a loan at a barbeque to pay for tuition. Dr. Peter Buck, a nuclear scientist, had a different idea for Fred and instead of loaning him the tuition he needed, instead invested $1,000 for Fred to open his first sandwich shop in 1965.
Fred continued his education while growing his chain of restaurants. While originally planning on being a medical doctor, Fred graduated from the University of Bridgeport in 1971 with a degree in psychology.
The idea for Subway was Buck’s based on an Italian sandwich shop in Maine called Amato’s that he frequented as a child. Fred and Peter drove up to Maine and spent some time studying the Amato’s operation. A few weeks later they opened their first Pete’s Super Submarine in 1965, changing the name to Pete’s subway and ultimately to Subway in 1968. They settled on “Subway” as a play on words based on the subway system in New York. The name change came about because people who listened to the radio commercials thought the name sounded like Pizza Marines and were surprised when they arrived to discover that is was a sandwich shop and not a pizzeria.
The first few restaurants did not do as well as expected, so instead of abandoning the concept Fred instead opened a few more. By 1973 subway had grown to 16 restaurants in Connecticut, and began to franchise in 1974. By 2013 Subway was reported to be opening over 50 new restaurants per week. Today it has close to
45,000 locations in 112 countries, with its first international franchise opening in Bahrain in 1984.
Headquartered in Milford, Connecticut under the corporation name Doctor’s Associates, the company’s international operations are serviced from offices in the Netherlands, Australia, Lebanon, Singapore and
Miami. Doctor’s Associates is a closely held private company.
