This Week at the M.A.C.
We're officially in the midst of the holiday season, which means there are plenty of things to do at the Missouri Athletic Club. Get in the spirit at one of the Club's many seasonal events this week: the Christmas Dinner Dance, Family Night with Santa, a Fox Theatre trip to "A Christmas Carol" or a Christmas Brunch. Or, if you're ready for a "time out" from the Christmas celebrations, take a sports break with the Jack Buck Sports Awards or a Rams buffet. No matter what mood you're in this week, there's an event at the Club that is suited for you.

Don't miss this Charles Dickens' classic about an old miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, who hates Christmas and refuses to share his wealth. The tale is about one Christmas when the ghosts of Christmas, Past, Present and Future teach Scrooge to value Christmas and life overall. When the ghosts leave, Scrooge is a changed man. There's no better show to get you in the holiday giving spirit!
