St. Louis Hawks Soar Again

Before Michael and Scottie or Magic and Kareem, there were Pettit and “Easy” Ed. The dynamic duo, along with Cliff Hagan, led the St. Louis Hawks to the 1958 NBA championship. Thanks to the M.A.C. Book Club, you can meet these three basketball Hall of Famers and find out more about this exciting era in St. Louis sports history.

On Thursday, May 11, the M.A.C. will host a book signing dinner featuring Full Court: The Untold Story of the St. Louis Hawks.

Get Fit with a New Workout
M.A.C. West introduces three new classes
Most people who go to the gym have a routine. They lift the same weights and use the same cardio machines every time. After awhile, many inevitably get bored.

For those who are tired of their current workout routine, fitness experts suggest trying a new class. This spring, M.A.C. West is introducing three new fitness classes, including one for kids! Beginning in May, members can try Fit and Flexible, 20/20/20 or Hip Hop for kids.
