Dear Members,

I began working at the University Club on May 10th of 2015. Now that I’m nearing my one year anniversary, I’ve had time to look back over my journey. Working at the University Club has proven to be quite a challenge. It’s a different world from the leisure pace I had grown used to at my many years working country clubs. The amount of business here at the club definitely keeps me on my toes. We do in a day what I had grown used to in a week at the country clubs. The University Club is giving me the opportunity to grow as a manager—an opportunity to test my abilities in leader-ship, problem solving, and most importantly, cultivating relation-ships. I not only have the opportunity to build a relationship with an incredibly diverse membership, but I have the opportunity to build relationships with an incredibly hard working staff that has welcomed me with open arms. Working here on the campus of UofL, I also find myself feeling a sense of community. It’s very motivating being surrounded my so many people who are driven to serve, not just the University but the communities that surround the University.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, your family and your community. I will do my very best to be a positive and professional representative of the University Club and I hope to spend many years getting to know you. If you see me around the Club please say hello. I look forward to meeting you.

Bernie Rison

Lunch with Dick WilsonSenior Vice President Wealth Management, The Trident GroupFriday, March 4th, 11:45 a.m.

$20 inclusive

Bostjon Korbar, who grew up in Slovenia, will be joining us to give a brief description of the history and locality of Slovenia. He is married to Ann Carter Korbar, who grew up in Lou-isville. The two met in Slovenia while she was on a trip around the world. Slovenia was a part of Yugoslavia, but became independent over 30 years ago.

I’d like to personally invite you to lunch on March 4th. It makes sense to be connective with people that have something to say and are doing something positive in this community. Join me in the Bingham Library for an hour.

$16.95++

There is no agenda, and the only rule is that you have to move to another seat whenever you get up for a different course at the buffet. Generally we will go around the table very briefly to let each person announce who they are and what makes them interesting. I may have a

topic and thought for this lunch I would briefly discuss “How to travel like a mil-lionaire on the cheap.” I did this lunch for about fifteen years at the Seelbach Hotel and we had been highlighted in the Saturday Scene as a “Power Lunch of Louisville.” I look forward to meeting you!
