From the General Manager’s Desk
Good Things Yet to Come
It’s nearly here…that time
of year when the weather
cools, tailgaters mark their
territory, warm sweaters
replace T-shirts, and the
ACC gears up with great
activities!
Paul Kroll, CCM
General Manager
We constantly strive for
new and meaningful ways
to make your member
experience even better.
Here are a few suggestions
for the Fall:
For your tastebuds. Expect to savor the flavor of ACC’s
own roast. Our new coffee roaster is on-site and ready
to be installed as soon as the proper permitting is
completed. There will be no fresher brew in the city,
and no better way to warm your winter mornings.
For your aching muscles, or to prevent your muscles
from aching. Book a treatment in our new massage area
on the third floor. The Club now offers the services of
three therapists in our re-designed private space that
will allow you to relax with a soothing massage. Read
more about the new ACC Spa on page 10.
For your career enhancement.Be sure to join us on
October 2 to learn from the best. Mark Ankerman,
Sr. Lecturer of Management and Human Resources
at OSU’s Fisher College of Business will present “the
Elevator Speech Without the Elevator” as part of our
Lecture Series.
For your friends. Don’t forget to mark your calendar for
our Fall “Great Taste of the Midwest” Open House on
September 12. Our culinary team will present delicious
tastes of Fall, and drinks are on us as you share the ACC
with friends who have heard tales of your fabulous
times at the Club.
For fun. Of course everything that we plan is fun,
but Oktoberfest has a reputation of its own. An ACC
tradition revived and re-energized, this evening
(October 11) of lederhosen, traditional entertainment,

warm pretzels, and cold German biers is not to
be missed!
For the love of the game. Attention all roundballers
and squashers, competition in the fall leagues is stiff,
so be sure to keep your eye out for announcements for
basketball and squash league sign-ups. New members
and those new to the games are encouraged to join in the
fun!
So, choose a few new activities, or maybe just enjoy a
glass of wine in Carmichael’s, but make the ACC your first
choice for all things Fall!

President’s Message
Believe it or not, summer has come to a close. For those
of us who grew up in Western Pennsylvania, this time of
year was full of anticipation of a tight pennant race for
our beloved Pirates, and the kickoff to another Super
Bowl run by our beloved Steelers. Who knows? Maybe
history can repeat itself and it will be 1979 all over again.

LifE BringS ChangES
From time to time, life brings changes that affect our
financial picture: new jobs, promotions, retirement,
births, deaths, marriage or divorce, etc. Such life
changes make it necessary for us to periodically review
our financial plans to determine if they are still working
toward our current and future goals.
If you would like a free consultation, please give us a call.

Faces of the ACC
“I never handed out a single card,
yet I conducted more business with
friends and members from the Athletic
Club than from any other source.”
– Tom Lynch
Tom Lynch grew up in Clyde County, Ohio,
a son of a hard-working father in the
lumber business and an equally hardworking stay-at-home mother. He played
four sports in high school, and then narrowed his specialty to polevaulting while attending Ohio University.
Arguably the best-dressed and kindest member of all-time, Tom
has been an ACC member for more than 43 years, as well as serving
as Past President (1994). He describes his success as partner in
the Woodhouse Lynch Fine Clothing business, and his long-term
relationship with the Club.
ACC: As a purveyor of fine clothing, you conducted quite a bit of
business at the Athletic Club, true?
Tom: Yes. But it’s not the kind of business that you get from handing
out business cards and pushing your services. The Athletic Club is
about relationships and getting to know people and being able to
help them when they need you. It always felt good to help someone
look their best in the business world or for a special occasion.
ACC: It seems as though you were headed towards a different
field---maybe coaching or teaching---when you graduated from OU.
What happened?
Tom: Well, when I graduated, I had an opportunity to manage
a men’s store in Athens. That grew into merchandising, buying,
and marketing for an entire chain (University Shops). I moved to
Columbus in 1968 when we opened a headquarters here. In 1972
Jerry Woodhouse and I decided to go into business together, with
an emphasis on more traditional fine men’s clothing. We first set
up shop in a suite on 4th and Broad. Business grew quickly and we
expanded with fine clothing stores for men and women in three
locations downtown and two locations in Worthington.
ACC: Today there are all kinds of methods for gathering information
about what customers want or need. How did you do that in 1972?
Tom: I sat on the ledge of a fountain right on Broad Street and
watched business professionals as they went about their days. I saw
what looked good, and what didn’t look so good, and we came up
with a plan to help those professionals look their best. At the time
there was an ad campaign out for Head and Shoulders shampoo,
“You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression,” and
that was the truth---then and now. I gave presentations to classes to
explain the importance of professional dress.
ACC: You retired and closed your last shop at 146 East Broad just
two years ago. Why then?
Tom: It was time. I always said that when it was no longer a source
12 | ACCent Magazine
of enjoyment, it was time to stop. I still enjoyed it, but not as much.
The retail industry has changed so much, and so has the style of
dress. Today there is much more leeway in the professional world,
and “Business Casual” is an accepted fashion. I still believe that
there is something to be said for traditional clothing of fine quality
that is tailored specifically for the wearer. It’s classic and can be
every bit as comfortable as more casual clothing.
ACC: Where do you get your clothes now?
Tom: I have enough clothes to last me until I am 105. After that, I’m
going to start looking.
ACC: Moving on from fashion. You have a brother, Jim, who has
been an ACC member even longer than you.
Tom: Yes. He had been at the ACC about six years before me. That’s
how I knew that the Club was for me. He was President before me,
too, in 1989. We are the only brothers to have held the presidency
at the Club. Plus, we are both Past Presidents of the Touchdown
Club that was such a big organization in the Club’s history. And, I
know you won’t believe this, but we have never had an argument.
Not once.
ACC: Who is the better-looking Lynch brother?
Tom: Wait. This might be our first argument.
ACC: How has the Club played a role in your life?
Tom: The Club has been there for me through everything.
Professionally, it was where I conducted much of my business.
Personally, we have made lifelong friends who will always be dear
to us. My kids (Tom, Mike, Wendy, Matt and Kelly) have great
memories of the Club---from Gym ‘n Swim to Zoo nights.
My wife, Mary Lou, remembers the days that women were allowed
in for 22 seconds on the third Wednesday, and we still laugh about
that. I think that the reason that the ACC is still so successful is that
our staff and Board has always been willing to listen to its members,
has had an awareness of the community, and is ready to do things
differently when change is needed.
ACC: The Club must be doing something right to keep you as
members for all of these years.
Tom: Yes. In the mid 80’s, I took stock of my life and made an effort
to return to core values---being a good parent, trying to do more
kindnesses, and recognizing how I can help others. We started a
men’s group that met monthly at the Club in 1987 with these values
in mind, and I think that the ACC was a perfect starting place for it.
The Club is always so warm and welcoming because of the people
inside. It’s a great mix of people—not all uniform and perfect, but
human. You can honestly feel the caring from staff and members
alike and you want to pass that along. I still feel special every single
time I walk through the doors.
“Steve always greets me with a smile and
he remembers my birthday and my mother’s
birthday every year. Who else can do that?!”
-Tom Lynch
