We now have the final plans and are costing out equipment and furnishing items as we go along. Many decisions remain to be made, particularly regarding interior design specifics. Based on what we know now, the total cost should be in the neighborhood of one million dollars. Our by-laws require membership approval of expenditures over one million dollars for a specific action or project. If our projections continue to be close to or exceed that number, we plan to conduct a vote of the membership on approval of expenditures for the At Ease Club renovation coincident with the Board election at the Annual Meeting. Your Board has approved our new Five Year Plan. As always, we have taken a conservative approach to outlining our plans for the future. The Plan will be the main focus of our Quarterly Forum on October 30, 2013. As you know, the downturn in real estate that began in 2008 and the buy-back program have had a significant and negative effect on IRCC. At this point, I want to thank Nancy Bartlett and Four Star Real Estate for their service on our behalf. As I write this, we know that our real estate closings for our Fiscal Year 2013 totaled in the mid- sixties against a previously projected forty-five. To date, Four Star has demonstrated enthusiasm and innovativeness as our Real Estate Department and I pray that will continue to be the case. T. J. (Jim) Moseley Chairman From the General Manager Though we are through the height of hurricane season it is still imperative that all of us continue to be ready to act should one approach our area. That preparedness includes having supplies to last you a minimum of three days if you stay, or plans on when you’re going to leave and where are you going to go if you choose to evacuate. I continue to hear how you have to have a reservation in order to eat at the Club and I cannot stress enough that that is incorrect. We still prefer reservations if you know you are going to eat dinner on a particular day because that helps us schedule the right labor force for that night. But if you are sitting at home and don’t feel like cooking we hope your first choice is your Club. So please do not hesitate to come to the Club for dinner even without a reservation. We will get you to a table and provide the service you deserve and should expect. Now that I have put a gap in the speed bumps in front of the Pro Shop we will be keeping an eye on how fast people are going in that area. This is a very busy area with people moving about on foot, bicycles, and in carts so it is inherently dangerous especially when carts are speeding through. I know that many of the snowbirds did not have to deal with the solid bumps, so those of you who did might make it clear that it was not pleasant but it was effective. Trust me when I say I don’t want to put them back up, I travel that way every day multiple times. But safety is of the utmost importance and if it becomes unsafe then it will become necessary to go back to the solid bump. I have always heard very nice reviews on the club and the service; and now I am hearing very nice comments about the noticeable improvement in food quality. This is one of the changes we made ahead of the renovation, another being more attention to detail on cleanliness. There are even more behind the scenes changes that have been made. So if you have not been to the Club lately, come on in and see if you notice these great improvements. Enjoy the fall weather in Florida!

  • BROOKS ATKINSON THEATER (Originally Mansfield Theater), 256-262 West 47Th Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 4, 1987; Designation List 194 LP-1311 BROOKS ATKINSON THEATER (originally Mansfield Theater), 256-262 West 47th Street, Manhattan. Built 1925-26; architect Herbert J. Krapp. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1018, Lot 57. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Brooks Atkinson Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (I tern No. 7). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has · received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Brooks Atkinson Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built during the mid-1920s, the Brooks Atkinson was among the half-dozen theaters constructed by the Chanin Organization, to the designs of Herbert J. Krapp, that typified the development of the Times Square/Broadway theater district. Founded by Irwin S. Chanin, the Chanin organization was a major construction company in New York. During the 1920s, Chanin branched out into the building of theaters, and helped create much of the ambience of the heart of the theater district.

At the newspaper's height, circulation was approximatly 18,000 copies. The original editorial collective included Denis Lemon (editor), Martin Corbett - who later was an active member of ACT UP, David Seligman, a founder member of the London Gay Switchboard collective, Ian Dunn of the Scottish Minorities Group, Glenys Parry (national chair of CHE), Suki J. Pitcher, and Doug Pollard, who later went on to launch the weekly gay newspaper, Gay Week (affectionately known as Gweek). Amongst Gay News' early "Special Friends" were Graham Chapman of Monty Python's Flying Circus, his partner David Sherlock, and Antony Grey, secretary of the UK Homosexual Law Reform Society from 1962 to 1970. Gay News was the response to a nationwide demand by lesbians and gay men for news of the burgeoning liberation movement. The paper played a pivotal role in the struggle for gay rights in the 1970s in the UK. It was described by Alison Hennegan (who joined the newspaper as Assistant Features Editor and Literary Editor in June 1977) as the movement's "debating chamber".

    McLean County Museum of History Community Players Theatre Collection Processed by Emma Meyer December 2014 Collection Information VOLUME OF COLLECTION: 2 Box, COLLECTION DATES: 1923-2013 RESTRICTIONS: None REPRODUCTION RIGHTS: Permission to reproduce or publish material in this collection must be obtained in writing from the McLean County Museum of History ALTERNATIVE FORMATS: None OTHER FINDING AIDS: LOCATION: Archives NOTES: Historical Sketch In 1923 a women's club met in Bloomington and discussed creating a group to perform some amateur theatricals. The first production was Overtones performed March 6, 1923, starring Winifred Kates James, Grace Kessler Green, Edith Elliot Kuhn and Lucy Parke Williams and was presented in the Turner Hall. Today Community Players is one of the oldest community theatres completely staffed by volunteers. From Turner Hall they went on to use the facilities at the Illini Theatre (now the MARC Center next to Lucca Grill), Bloomington High School (the former BJHS building on Washington Street as well as the current building on East Locust), the old Normal High School, Illinois State Normal University (Old Main), The Majestic Theater and the Scottish Rite Temple (currently the Bloomington Cultural Center for the Performing Arts). In 1957 some of the leaders of the group came together to purchase the Esquire movie theatre on Madison Street just south of the Pantagraph building. It had 300 seats and air conditioning. The deal was negotiated but never completed. The city decided to condemn the building to create new city parking lots so Community Players had to find a new home. They settled at their current location at 201 Robinhood Lane.
