CHEF’S For the month of March, we are pleased to continue Fireside Dining in Harvard Hall
CORNER featuring our full Veritas menu. Dining in the Hall has been very well-received by our
members and we are seeing more members take advantage of dining in this beautiful, cozy
setting with ample space for social distancing. We will be offering a three-course prix fixe
menu created by Chef Adam Burnham that will change weekly with a complimentary glass
of Prosecco and an amuse-bouche from the kitchen.
Chef Adam and his team will create and offer new dishes as nightly specials in order
to gain member feedback for our upcoming spring menus. Some of our dishes include:
grilled spanish octopus, white beans, piquillo peppers and chimichurri; and a New England
seafood risotto with lobster, scallops, shrimp and chorizo, and saffron.
In addition to our Veritas Takeout menu, we are now offering prepared meals through
Veritas Market that you can pick up with your order for later in the week and are ready

Virtual Meeting
This month’s selection is Daughters of Yalta: The Churchills, Roosevelts Harrimans: A
Story of Love and War by Harvard Club Member Catherine Grace Katz.
The story of the fascinating and fateful “daughter diplomacy” of Anna Roosevelt, Sarah
Churchill, and Kathleen Harriman, three glamorous young women who accompanied their
famous fathers to the Yalta Conference with Stalin in the waning days of World War II.
Tensions during the Yalta Conference in February 1945 threatened to tear apart wartime
alliances among Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin, just as victory
was close at hand. Catherine Grace Katz uncovers the dramatic story of the three young
women who were chosen by their famous fathers to travel with them to Yalta, each bound
by fierce ambition and intertwined romances that powerfully colored these crucial days.
Situated in the political maelstrom that marked the transition to a postwar world, The Daughters of Yalta is a remarkable
story of fathers and daughters whose relationships were tested and strengthened by the history they witnessed and the
future they crafted together.
Registration is required for this complimentary event, as we will share the call in details to all those registered.

US-IRELAND RELATIONS: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE
A Conversation with Trina Vargo
Tuesday, March 16, 2021
12:00 pm EST Discussion Begins
Virtual Meeting
To mark the global celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day please join us for a special
conversation with Trina Vargo, President of the US-Ireland Alliance, an organization
she founded in 1998. The conversation will be led by Harvard Club of Boston
member and Past President of the Harvard Club of Ireland, Bob Manson.
As Senator Ted Kennedy’s foreign policy adviser, Trina Vargo was instrumental in the
controversial effort to convince President Clinton to grant a travel visa to Sinn Fein
leader Gerry Adams—a crucial step in the Northern Ireland peace process. Vargo
served as the Irish-issues adviser to every Democratic presidential campaign from
Dukakis through Obama. She founded the US-Ireland Alliance and the prestigious
George J. Mitchell Scholarship program, which introduces future American leaders
to the island of Ireland. Of the approximately 240 Mitchell Scholars, about one
quarter of that number are members of our Harvard alumni community. Vargo has
navigated the corridors of power in Ireland and the United States, experiencing
first-hand the deep affection each country holds for the other. She has also seen valuable opportunities squandered—
and sabotaged—by those on both sides of the Atlantic who jealously defend their turf against imaginative ideas. Vargo
became part of the Clintons’ “enemies list” as a result of her work on Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008.
Vargo passionately believes the US-Ireland relationship needs to evolve and to survive.
