August, 2009 Newsletter
Dear Fellow Members:
After a classic British Open finish, Amity hit the links to avenge Tom Watson’s historic loss. While it may not have been as pretty, I am told we tackled Chartwell Country Club like nobody has before. Golf lingo is not my strength, but the pro said this to me while trying to suppress a chuckle, so I think that means we did a good job.
For those of you who missed the outing, you missed a spectacular day of fun, golf and food. The forecast was for rain, but until the last foursomes came in, there wasn’t even a drop. It was a fantastic day, but I assure you it is not your last chance for a spectacular Amity outing in 2009. We will take a break in August, but come September, we return to the links and are promised a fine outing at Hunt Valley Country Club. Please mark your calendars for September 14th, as this is an event you will not want to miss.
For the second time this year, I feel compelled to step away from tradition to cover good and welfare in this message:
For some, this has been a bad month to be a past-president. Following June’s outing, I was informed that Steven Mirsky suffered a slight stroke, but is quickly on the mend. Moments later, I was informed that Ralph Rothstein was slightly less than his usual 200%, but is now patched up, and looking forward to joining us again as soon as possible. Also joining the injured reserve list this past month was Len Blondes, who has quickly bounced back from his surgery, and promises to rejoin us at September’s outing.
For other past presidents, this has been a good month. Please join me in congratulating Ben and Sam Williamowski on adding another generation to their fine family. We look forward to Chase’s induction into Amity in about 25 years. Also congratulations to Ray and Rikki Bialek on the engagement of their daughter Robin! I ask you all to please remind Ray of induction rule #1!
Finally, please accept my warmest wishes for a wonderful summer with your families. I look forward to seeing you all in September, if not sooner.
Remember… Amity ain’t failed you yet!
Fondly,
Adam Warshavsky

Amity Business Newsletter
We are still seeking articles and advertising for our Amity Business Newsletter. Amity is about community and we are all in business and mostly self-employed. So, this feels like a good fit for Amity. We hope that we can all do more business with each other. So, if you want to be able to place ads or promotions in the newsletter, send me an email. The cost is $25 per year and the money will go into the Charity Fund.
Send $25 to Steve Weisman at 15400 Calhoun Drive, Suite 120, Rockville, 20855. Then send an email with a brief description of your business and/or an offer for a discount or special offer for your services to me at stu.kushner@amityclubofwashington.org.
Our Business Newsletter members will be able to create up to four ads per year. We can include graphics too! I look forward to hearing from you and all of us working together to create business for and with each other.
