The Missouri Athletic Club is among the finest private clubs in the world. It’s the members that make it that way. Because the Club’s major decisions fall in the hands of the Board of Governors and president, it’s these men and women who have made the Club what it is today. Don’t miss your chance to serve on the Board of Governors and implement your own ideas to make the M.A.C. an even better place. Nomination packets, complete with a photograph, letter of intent and biography, are due to a member of the M.A.C.

Mark Your Calendars Food Network Host to Cook at the Club  Gathering for a home-cooked family dinner is less common in the U.S. than it used to be. The average American family spends more than $2,000 per year on dinners away from home, and 10 percent of those dinners come from McDonald’s, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Chef Giada De Laurentiis, host of Everyday Italian, strongly values the family dinner; that's where she learned the tools of her trade. On Thursday, April 13, the M.A.C. will host its own “family dinner,” and De Laurentiis will be the special guest. Click here for more information |
