Stephanie Vickers, Chair Irvington Club Community Foundation (ICCF) Board of Directors

Working with non-profits and NGOs for over 25 years Stephanie has held leadership roles with Friends of Liberia, The Garden School, The African Women’s Coalition, Kukatonon African Dance Troupe  and also as President of the Irvington Club. 

While serving on the Board of the Irvington Club (IC) and with its approval, Mary Stevenson and I created the Community Involvement Committee (CIC) where I served as its Chair. The purpose of the CIC is to support organizations in our N/NE community and where IC members voluntarily assist with donations and/or activities.  The ICCF was formed as a response to what the CIC was doing but as a separate entity and also from other IC members who expressed a desire to honor the richness that the Club has added to their lives with a desire to give back to the community.

Roy Pulvers

I am a husband, father and grandfather, and a retired lawyer. Our children grew up in NE Portland, often at the Irvington Club. Tennis has always been a part of my life, going back to attending what is now the U.S. Open in nearby Forest Hills, NY, while I was growing up in the 1960s.

The Irvington Club Community Foundation tries to translate a shared love of tennis into strengthening the fabric of our community, which I think is a very good thing.

Jan Harvey

I have been a member of the Irvington Club for over 44 years, first as a couple with my husband, then as a family, and now again as a couple, I and have been a resident of the greater Irvington neighborhood for even longer. Our family has enjoyed all aspects of the Irvington Club – tennis, the pool, the weight room, fitness classes and social events. Our three sons grew up in the Club, playing tennis, swimming and working as lifeguards at the pool. 

Throughout these many years of membership, we have appreciated the recreational and social benefits of the Club and the strong sense of community that it embodies. The Irvington Club Community Foundation provides a way to show my appreciation for the Club by extending the Club’s spirit of community beyond the walls of the Club itself and to its greater neighborhood.
