🤝Making a Difference

New Albany’s Temple Beth Shalom, All Saints Episcopal Church, and Rose Run Presbyterian joined forces for “United for Good,” a powerful event dedicated to service, connection, and unity. This inaugural gathering fostered community relationships and took a stand against division and prejudice, including antisemitism.

The day began with collective service projects. Participants tended a community garden, assembled blessing bags for those in need, and wrote letters of support to victims of violence. Volunteers of all ages worked side by side, their efforts sowing seeds of hope and solidarity. Following the service projects, attendees shared a communal meal, nourishing both body and spirit. The meal set the stage for the event’s cornerstone: storytelling. Guided by the Jewish teaching that connection counters division, individuals shared personal stories of joy, struggle, and resilience. These exchanges built trust and understanding, making prejudice harder to sustain. As one participant noted, “Hearing someone’s story makes their humanity undeniable. It’s a step toward dismantling hate.”

A key focus of “United for Good” was fostering relationships across religious lines to strengthen the community. Storytelling allowed attendees from All Saints, Rose Run, and Temple Beth Shalom to find common ground in their diverse experiences. By building these bridges of trust, the three congregations are creating a resilient community equipped to challenge prejudice and support one another.

The event laid the groundwork for ongoing collaboration in New Albany. Organizers are planning future gatherings to deepen these connections and continue combating division. As one attendee reflected, “Working and listening together showed the power of unity. We’re stronger when we stand as one.”

“United for Good” demonstrates that service, storytelling, and solidarity can transform a community, fostering a united front against hatred and division.

🏡Family Spotlight: Walt and Polly Bernacki's Life in New Albany is Built on Love, Service and Community

Walt and Polly Bernacki’s journey to New Albany began with a blind date that almost didn’t happen, a dream sparked by a Parade of Homes, and a shared vision for a home that would anchor their family in the New Albany Country Club Communities. Their story almost ended before it began. As a second-year medical student at The Ohio State University, Walt was set to meet Polly, then an undergraduate, for a blind date. In a time before cell phones, Walt got lost, leaving Polly waiting for 30 minutes and wondering if she’d been stood up. When he finally arrived, Walt didn’t just win her over with his charm, he rolled up his sleeves to help Polly’s brother-in-law fix a flat tire.

The Bernackis’ connection to New Albany began long before they moved to the Farms in July 2017. In the early 1990s, Walt attended the New Albany Parade of Homes with his mother, marveling at the community’s beauty and envisioning a future there. When the couple welcomed their first child, Lauren, they lived in Westerville. By the time their son, Leo, was on the way, Walt and Polly were ready to make their dream a reality. They purchased a lot in New Albany Farms in 2012.

In August 2002, Walt founded Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialists, where he serves as a board-certified plastic surgeon, and Polly manages the office with efficiency and warmth after a stint at Aetna Healthcare.

From their blind date mishap to their home in New Albany Farms, Walt and Polly Bernacki have built a life defined by love, service, and community. As they walk the trails of New Albany Farms or cheer Leo on at a baseball game, Walt and Polly embody the community’s ethos of connection and vitality. For them, New Albany isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to thrive, dream, and give back.

❤️New Albany Q&A: Meet Lonie and Joy Coulter: Familiar Faces of New Albany

For three decades, Lonie and Joy Coulter have been a part of the New Albany community. They are one of the familiar cornerstones of the New Albany Country Club communities.

❓How did you become so active within the community?
With a small family—one daughter, Christina, who tragically died in a car accident at 19, and a son, Bryon, 53, who lives in Columbus with our grandchildren, Emerson and Gabrielle—we embraced our Lansdowne community and New Albany Country Club neighbors and members as extended family.

❓How long have you been in New Albany?
We’ve lived in New Albany for 29 years and have been part of the club just as long. Most folks know us as the inseparable “Lonie and Joy.” Married for 44 years.

❓When did you start integrating yourself within the community?
We joined the club in 1996 and have known many of the members since. Over the past 4-5 years, we’ve connected with many more, mainly through the club gym, where we work out 4-5 days a week, and the Sports Cafe. We claim the first table—our “Lonie and Joy table”—greeting everyone with a warm “hello” or “good morning.” We linger for an hour or more, catching up on life with members.

We’re blessed because most of the membership here is a lot younger than we are. We are both in our seventies, so most members are at least 25 years younger than us. They embrace us. You know, a lot of times, when you get older, it’s hard to connect with those younger than you. Not here. They love talking to us and it helps keep us forever young!

To meet Lonie and Joy and hear their stories firsthand, swing by the New Albany Country Club. They’re always ready for a friendly chat!

💃🏽🕺Around Town: Evening of Elegance

For students at the Pinnell Dance Centre, performance is not only a medium for movement and artistic expression, but a method of benefiting children whose health prevents them from being free to dance. On May 23rd, at the Hinson Amphitheater, Pinnell Dance Centre proudly showcased An Evening of Elegance, a purpose-driven performance seeking to raise funds benefiting Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Ashley Holt, the daughter of company founder Jeri Pinnell and the current Executive Director, explains that An Evening of Elegance originally began as a dinner theatre performance at Villa Milano. “We wanted to teach our dancers not only about performing, but also about the importance of giving back to the community and being grateful for the gifts and opportunities they’ve been given,” she shared. Over the years, An Evening of Elegance has greatly expanded, outgrowing the Villa Milano, and relocating to the Hinson Amphitheater. To date, the event has raised over $70,000 for Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

“We chose to donate to Nationwide Children’s Hospital because we want our dancers to understand how truly blessed they are to have their health - and how powerful it can be to give back,” Holt says.

This year, the performance featured 138 talented dancers, ranging in age from 6 years old to graduating seniors; many students from the NAAC community, including Britton Holt, Kenna Holt, Mia Gilmore, Layla Grady, Maeve Murphy, Jade Schone and Julia Schone were featured. Company dancers are selected during an audition process each fall, and each bring “their own unique spirit and dedication to the stage.”

🎾Athlete of the Month

Jackson Clements and Abhinav Dandu, members of New Albany High School’s class of 2025, concluded their final high school tennis season with a victory at the state level. On May 30, the doubles team won the OHSAA Division 1 State Doubles Championship.

Tennis has been integrated into both Clements and Dandu’s lives from a young age; they first picked up a racket when they were 5 and 9 years old, respectively. Since then, competing in tournaments, as well as playing for pleasure, has been an essential aspect of their athletic journeys. “I love the challenge and intensity of [tennis],” Dandu explains.

The twosome teamed up as doubles partners beginning their freshman year for United States Tennis Association tournaments, but began to practice together more seriously in the buildup to their senior season. In addition to their athletic prowess, Clements and Dandu credit their chemistry as friends and teammates to their success, noting that they keep each other positive, “which helps a lot during tight matches.”

Keeping a positive mindset propelled them through the season, and into the state doubles tournament. “We had a great season, and while we knew [the competition] was going to be challenging, we were confident from the start,” Dandu says. “We trusted our preparation and just took things one match at a time.”

As they stepped onto the court, Clements and Dandu were cautiously optimistic. “We always believed we could do it,” Clements affirms. Their win marked the fourth state doubles championship title in New Albany High School program history.

Clements and Dandu are grateful to New Albany’s head tennis coach, Marc Thomas, for his dedication to their success, noting that “he kept [them] focused, and always pushed [them] to do better.” Additionally, Clements’ private coach, Rick Naumoff, worked with the doubles team throughout their season.
