 Building the Bridge from the Singles Night Life to the Parents Good Life  Constructing the family-friendly M.A.C. experience!Have you ever wondered, "What else can the M.A.C. can do for me?" Do you feel the Clubs within the Club (CWCs) are great but still want more? The Missouri Athletic Club is going to launch a new CWC to meet the needs of younger parents and their families. First “who,” then “what” – Is this CWC for you? • If you want to have fun with your friends and do everything possible to be a good parent, then this CWC is for you! • If you are always juggling swim practices, meetings, tennis lessons and quality time with your spouse, then this CWC is for you! • If you value the M.A.C.’s healthy lifestyle values AND have some ideas for a new Club within a Club, then this CWC is for you! What will this new CWC do? That is where you come in – your input is encouraged. Throughout April, those interested in this CWC will gather to talk about ideas and suggestions. If you want to get involved or have something to contribute, please contact Courtney Kranz by e-mail or phone, 539-4402. |
