Changes to Campaign Process
The annual season of campaigning for election to the Board of Governors of the Club is fast approaching. It is one of the most exciting times of the year at the Club. This year the Board has approved certain changes to the campaigning process that should be noted by potential candidates and campaign workers. All of the changes are intended to make the campaigning a bit less cumbersome and allow more members to be involved in an election process that is truly unique among clubs.

Charitable Society Reveals New Charities
The Charitable Society has announced the 2008 charities that MAC members and employees are encouraged to donate to. This year's beneficiaries are, Sunnyhill Adventures provides customized residential and recreational programs that give children and adults with developmental
disabilities, who are in need of outside support, new challenges and tools to achieve greater independence; Sherwood Forest Camp, which provides key supports and opportunities for economically disadvantaged youth to help them achieve long-term success and leadership through summer camps; and Covenant House, which provides shelter and supportive services to homeless, runaway and at risk youth age 16-21, an age group that is too young for adult services and too old for children's services. Last year the charitable society, along with Club members and employees, donated over $10,000 to the selected charities. The Charitable Society is eager to see this number increase for 2008. If you would like to join the Charitable Society or make a donation, please click here.
