TOASTING
TEN+ YEARSof We present a [sightly delayed]
celebration of the first
decade of The Toledo Club’s
popular publication.
It all started with the newsletter. And it became far
better because of an incredible pool of talent at The
Toledo Club. Now, ten years later (technically eleven
years, but let’s pretend 2020 never happened), we’re
celebrating Topics’ tenth anniversary! Topics has
continued through five general managers and six club
presidents. It’s primarily completed by volunteers with
minimal budget, and yet the Topics team has delivered
over 120 issues.
Topics’ first issue featured the grand dame of The
Toledo Club, Charlotte Hall. She’s the one that
generally welcomes everyone to the dining room and
so, appropriately, welcomed Club members to Topics.
Other Club employees were featured in many different
manners. Former general manager Miguel Cueto was
shown making his famous flaming rope, an after-
dinner drink served flambé. In 2016, the entire staff
gathered outside of the Club to say “I Am The Toledo
Club.” Photographer Bob Lubell shot the image from
the top of a 20-foot ladder in the middle of Madison
Avenue, while Kristi Polus attempted to stop traffic.
The beloved Oak Room bartender (and early Topics
columnist) Dennis Donatini was honored with a cover
for his commitment to the Clusterfers. A 2013 cover
featured Chef Michael
Rosendaul with his four
culinary interns. In a
play on the art of cuisine
being similar to the art
of music, the interns
had clarinets and violin
bows from the Toledo
Symphony Orchestra,
and Chef Mike was
the conductor, wielding
a knife.

Celebrities also included bands featured at the Club’s
