COUTURE 

AT THE CLUB 

Our 1st Annual Fashion Show 

Fall 2011

from the president 

Dear Members, 

The Center Club is having a good year and we wanted you to know what’s happening. Our 

“Sizzling Summer at The Center Club” was a huge success with many sold out evenings and 

loads of activities. Membership continues to grow, furthered by the Membership Committee’s 

goal of 2,012 members in 2012. As of September 1, membership totaled 1,887 – a far cry 

from 1,582 in 2009. 

Why are people joining? As you will see by this issue, The Center Club strives to bring you a spectacular dining experience. What 

makes an exceptional dining experience? Fresh ingredients, seasonal menus mixed with traditional favorites and cutting-edge 

culinary delights, fine wine pairings and warm hospitality top the list. Recognizing that many of our members travel extensively 

and have the opportunity to savor food from all corners of the world, we are constantly researching new food trends, using our 

personal travels and checking out new local/regional competition to bring you the best dining experience – at the best value. 

As we move forward, “food” and “service” will be the watch words of the Club. To this end, we would like to draw your attention 

to the new Bar100 small plates menu and a fresh and seasonal Grill menu. Further, be sure to visit the Main Dining Room, 

where menus are constantly evolving to reflect not only your wishes, but also the latest culinary trends. There’s something for 

everyone among our new options, including scrumptious vegetarian dishes in response to member demand. 

We recognize that some of you may have dietary restrictions so please do not hesitate to mention your needs to your server. Chef 

Bob Bannan can prepare anything to your liking, including gluten-free meals. We are using the freshest ingredients from as many 

local purveyors as possible. Everything – from our fish and our crab to our salad greens and herbs – comes from local operators. 

Thank you for being wonderful members and we look forward to seeing you around the Club. 

Sincerely yours, 

Howard B. Miller 

President

ANNIVERSARY 

MEMBERSHIP 

CAMPAIGN 

ANNOUNCED 

It was 50 years ago next spring that The Center Club opened 

its doors to a new era. As the country, and even the City of 

Baltimore, struggled over civil rights, The Center Club was 

created on a charter of no discrimination. On the 22nd floor 

of One Charles Center, the first office building erected as part 

of Baltimore’s urban renewal, the Club began as a business 

dining club open to all. In 1965, there were approximately 

900 members and today, nearly 50 years later, membership 

stands just under 2000. 

The Center Club wants to celebrate its 50th Anniversary 

with 2012 members so we’re kicking off the 2012 in 2012 

Campaign that makes the decision to join the Club an easy one. 

Baltimore! 

A Nostalgic And Culinary Adventure 

Through Charm City Neighborhoods 

RSVP by October 24 to 410-727-7788 or www.centerclub.org. 

Here is the essence of the campaign: 

• Reduced initiation fee 

• Food & beverage credit matched to initiation fee 

• 2012 annual dues paid with application and 

remaining 2011 dues waived 

• No spending minimum 

We appreciate when members encourage others to join the 

Club so as a thank you, the proposer will receive an $100 food 

& beverage credit for a new Resident member and $50 for all 

other classifications of membership. 

The procedure for a prospective Member to join is the same: 

• Complete and sign an application 

• Get the signatures of two current members 

• Submit reduced initiation fee and 2012 dues 

with application 

The Board of Governors meets the beginning of each month to 

approve all applications for membership. By being a member of 

the Center Club, you’ll get to enjoy all the benefits of membership 

plus all the festivities planned for the 50th Anniversary. 

Don’t delay…this campaign ends 

when we reach 2012 members.

Reciprocal Clubs 

“I took several members of my Board of Directors and their 

spouses to the University Club (San Francisco)… perfect 

evening… in location and hospitality.” ~ Richard Webb 

Premier Show Tickets 

• Hippodrome Theater | www.france-merrickpac.com 

“The Center Club offers the best seats in the house (first row 

of the balcony) for Hippodrome performances. I enjoy having 

season tickets through the Club because it’s easy, educational, 

fun for everyone and keeps monotony from becoming a habit.” 

~ Dr. Kim Hammond 

Transportation 

• SecurityDawgs LLC | www.securitydawgs.com 

“My family and I have used the transportation services of 

SecurityDawgs on multiple occasions. The team of drivers (all 

of whom are off-duty police officers) are extremely reliable, 

professional, friendly and efficient. Frankly, it makes me feel good 

to know that I’m helping out an off-duty police officer, just as they 

are helping me out with my family’s transportation needs.” 

~ David Nevins 

• Enterprise Rent-A-Car | www.enterprise.com 

Overnight Accommodations 

• InterContinental Harbor Court | www.harborcourt.com 

• Henderson’s Wharf | www.hendersonswharf.com 

“Thank you for all you did to make 

our evening so wonderful last night. 

Everything was excellent – the 

service, the food and the space. 

We’ve had wonderful compliments 

from our guests and I thank you for 

making the whole process so easy.” 

~ Jen Doyle, LifeBridge Health 

Page 12 

Golf & Fitness Privileges 

“I just wanted to say how much I 

have enjoyed the last two Mix It Up 

events. Very engaging conversations 

with important leaders. It’s an 

excellent opportunity for me to 

network among the change agents 

in Baltimore. Thanks for putting 

on such a great series, and I look 

forward to them again in the fall.” 

~ Abby Markoe, Baltimore Squashwise 

• Country Club of Maryland | www.ccofmd.com 

“Recently my wife, Robin and I dined with fellow members, 

Susan & Jeffrey Posner, at Country Club of Maryland. The staff 

was welcoming, ambiance was nice, dinner was tasty and the 

prices were reasonable.” ~ John Denick 

• Mountain Branch | www.mountainbranch.com 

• Turf Valley Resort | www.turfvalley.com 

“While I did not shoot my best round at Turf Valley, the 

accommodations were great. We were treated like members 

with no limitations and received a very warm welcome. I highly 

recommend that members take full advantage of this course.” 

~ John Bugg, III 

• 100 Light Street Fitness Center 

Personal and Business Support 

• Vircity | www.vircity.us 

“I have used Vircity through my non-profit work, recommended 

Vircity to many of my clients, and have been very pleased not 

only with the quality of work and attention to detail, but also the 

additional benefit of higher search engine ranking simply by using 

a professional business address.” ~ L. Content McLaughlin 

“I just wanted to thank you for all of 

your help with the event. Everything 

went extremely well and we’ve 

received so many complimentary 

emails. I wanted to point out that 

Herman is incredible and I don’t 

know what we would have done 

without him. He was so on top of 

things and remains so pleasant in the 

most stressful situations.” 

~ Mary Brightman, Saul Ewing
