Chairperson’s Corner:“What’s on Your Mind?” By John Currier s you read this article some of you are trying to catch up in the office after recently returning from the first an- nual Life and Annuity Symposium in Tampa, some are wondering what to do with your children all summer A now that school is out (or nearly so for those hit with multiple snow days this past winter), some are gearing up for second-quarter end financial reporting, some are thinking about ways to sneak in a few hours of outdoors activity now that the weather has turned, and we are all thinking about how to make the Product Development Section more relevant to us. Hold on, I can hear you saying, I get that we are transitioning to summer and that means lots of new thoughts, but John you’ve lost it if you think I’m spending any time thinking about the Product Development Section. John Currier, FSA, MAAA, is EVP, Chief Actuary for It may seem a stretch, but the fact you are reading these words tells me that you look to the Society of Actuaries and the Aviva USA. He can be Product Development Section for valuable information—that you are looking for that nugget that is relevant to what contacted at you are doing in your working life. [email protected] The Product Development Section is working to provide those nuggets to you—based on what you’ve told us is im- portant to do. Many of you responded to our survey of what is most important to you and your council is acting on that feedback. • The session topics at the Life and Annuity Symposium were tested against the topics you said you were interested in. • The post-symposium seminars were built on topics you mentioned. • This newsletter contains an article from an author who identified their willingness to provide content in that survey. • We are pursuing articles for future editions from others identified in the survey. • Webinar content is being developed based on your topics. • 2010 Annual meeting content is being developed to match the survey requests. • Some who expressed interest in the council are now assisting in other ways or will be seeking election in the coming months. You can see that your council is working hard to provide “mining opportunities”—opportunities for relevance. If you take the time, I know that nugget is there for you—but if we are not meeting your needs, this is your Section after all, do let us know and find a way to get involved in the life of the Section—we need each and every one of you to make us the best we can be. Enjoy this edition of Product Matters, have a wonderful summer, and I look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting. Since you’ve read this far I know the Product Development Section is on your mind!

  • Friends of Holbrook-Palmer Park Submit the Carriage House and Water Tower to the National Register of Historic Places
    Item No. 21 Town of Atherton CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – REGULAR AGENDA TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: LISA COSTA SANDERS, TOWN PLANNER DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2015 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FRIENDS OF HOLBROOK- PALMER PARK TO SUBMIT THE CARRIAGE HOUSE AND WATER TOWER FOR THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Resolution authorizing the Friends of Holbrook Palmer Park to submit the Carriage Housing and Water Tower at Holbrook Palmer Park for the National Register of Historic Places. BACKGROUND Over the last eight years, the Friends have worked to raise public awareness of the significance of the Carriage House and the Water Tower and worked to raise funds to restore both buildings. The Friends retained the services of Christopher VerPlanck to complete a historic evaluation of the Carriage House and the Water Tower, and if authorized by the City Council, to complete the necessary paperwork to register both buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. City Council authorization is required to submit the buildings to the National Register as the buildings are owned by the Town. ANALYSIS The Gen Merrill Carriage Housing and Water Tower, both located in Holbrook-Palmer Park, were part of a rural estate historically known as both the Holbrook-Palmer estate and Elmwood. The Water Tower, constructed in 1883 is a tree-story heavy timber-frame tankhouse built to store groundwater in a large redwood water tank formerly on the top flow. The Carriage House, built in 1897 by Charles Holbrook, is a two-story heavy timber-frame building with a carriage storage room, stables and tack rooms on the first floor with a large hay loft and bunkhouse on the second floor.

Cambridge University Ice Hockey is kindly supported by Cambridge University Press. I was delighted to be asked once again to be part of such a prestigious occasion and to be able to sup- port the Cambridge University Ice Hockey Club. Ice Hockey is a sport that is growing in popularity and importance in Cambridge and elsewhere in the UK. Despite the handicap of having no ‘ice-rink’ in Cambridge itself, I know how hard the Cambridge teams have worked to ensure that the silverware will return to Cambridge.
