Golf Galore
The MAC Swings Open Great Golf Opportunities at Seven Courses
Your golf game is about to get a whole lot better! The MAC is now offering its members the opportunity to play at seven top local golf courses. You can challenge your skills and play a variety of different courses. The Country Club at the Legends was added to the line-up last year to give members a country club experience. This year, St. Clair Country Club has also been added to offer a second private club experience. Quail Creek has also been added to the list of courses. One of the top public courses in the area, Quail Creek has the characteristics and quality of a championship layout.

Diamond Club members immediately have access to the special golf privileges. If you are not a Diamond Club member, but would like to sign up for golf privileges, contact Tara in Accounting at 314-539-4432. The fee is $300.

Stogie Event
Spend a night enjoying the finer things in life. The MAC Stogie Club has planned a special evening of cigars, music and dining for you and your guests. On Wednesday, April 9, legendary Jazz musician and cigar aficionado Avo Uvezian will be in the Missouri Room to share his music and cigars. Uvezian composed the popular 1960s ballad “Strangers in the Night.” He will be performing the number that evening. You will also get to enjoy cigars from his brand. Uvezian began creating his own cigars in 1987 when his passion for a good cigar prompted him to experiment in crafting his own. The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails and cigars. A delicious four-course dinner with wine and cigars will be served at 7:30 p.m. Throughout the evening you will be entertained by a jazz band trio. This event is a wonderful chance to entertain your best clients or enjoy time with friends. Space is limited to the first 100 reservations. To reserve a chance to experience this special evening with Avo, please call 314-539-4470. Or you can register online. Click here to enter the member login area.

Dance! Dance! Dance!
If the latest season of Dancing with the Stars has inspired you to hit the dance floor, you’re in luck! The MAC is holding another session of ballroom dance lessons that will begin on Tuesday, April 15, and continue every Tuesday through May 13. Professional dance instructor Susan Nyemchek will instruct. Nyemchek knows how to get couples in sync with one another on the dance floor. You will learn several new moves. Even if you have two left feet, dance lessons are a great way to meet new friends at the Club and spend quality time with your dance partner. The cost is $50, per person for Dance Club members and $56, per person for non-Dance Club members. If you are interested in signing up, please contact Courtney Freeman at 314-539-4402.

Warm Up for Summer Swim Team
Temperatures outside may be far from pool weather, but the MAC Penguins red swim team is gearing up to dive in at the Downtown Clubhouse. The spring warm up session will begin on Saturday, April 12. The session will be held from 9-11 a.m. for six consecutive Saturdays (April 12, April 19, April 26, May 3, May 10 and May 17). There is no charge to attend. All swimmers competing for the red team this season are encouraged to come and get back into the swing of things and catch up with old friends. If you have any questions, please contact Tim Kelley at 314-539-4476.

Capital Contribution Update
Renovation projects associated with the recent capital contribution program have begun Downtown. Two new cooling towers were installed at the Downtown Clubhouse on Friday, March 28. They will help cool the building quicker and more efficiently during those hot St. Louis summers. The previous towers had been in place since 1977. Read the Buffet for updates on more Club improvements.
