In Memoriam:
Geoffrey T. Hoderath It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of long-time Club member Geoffrey T. Hoderath on June 8 at the age of 62, leaving behind his loving wife Wendy B. Lindskoog, his sister Paula Hoderath of Long Island, and all of us. A member of the Club since 2009, Geoffrey also served on the Board since 2015. Geoffrey was a joiner. He was a member of the legendary New York City club, the Players, where he reported with awe that one bartender could stretch the laws of physics by mixing a martini that appeared to exceed the volume of its glass. He sang and traveled abroad with the choir of the historic St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Albany. He was a member of the Wadsworth Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons. A frequent visitor to the Club, Geoffrey was always ready with a story, a book recommendation, or a kind ear. If you were a fellow caretaker of cats, he had plenty of charming tales in that vein. Geoffrey’s always-impeccable appearance, featuring a strong penchant for traditional business attire – a woollen vest even in August! – belied the fact that he was also an avid outdoorsman who hiked countless Catskills peaks, a joyful pastime he shared with Wendy. A graduate of UAlbany and Albany Law School, Geoffrey worked in private legal practice and then at the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal. Club Manager Mimi Fahy said, “Geoffrey was a huge presence at the club. On any given night you could find him having dinner and enjoying a cocktail in the Grille Room, except of course for Friday because that was date night with his lovely wife Wendy. You could always rely on good conversation his quick wit and of course that savvy wardrobe. He will be deeply missed by anyone who had the pleasure to know him and especially by his fellow board members.” |

A LITTLE ABOUT OURSELVES |
Welcome Back!
We are so thrilled that the club has re-opened. Please know that the safety and the health of the members are the top priority. We are following all of NYS re-opening guidelines.
For the time being there will be no access to the Grille room or the bowling alley. We will be seating in the living room, the terrace and the outside patio. The tables are all six feet apart and we have hand sanitizing stations through out the building.
Brian our housekeeper has done a great job sanitizing throughout the day. So we hope that you will all feel comfortable coming out and enjoying your club once again.
We are opened for limited hours for the Summer, but will be back to regular Monday– Friday in the Fall. There is a new menu and we will be adding a Sunday brunch very soon.
