May
Cherry Diamond
Ready,
Set, Summer! Summer is right around the corner, which means no school,
time at the pool and lots of fun festivities at the MAC. There is
plenty to do to keep your kids busy over the months they are off
school. From sports camps, to tennis lessons, to swim team, there
won’t be a dull moment for kids at the MAC. Be sure to check
out all of the summer fun information in this issue. May doesn’t
just mark the opening of pools, it also celebrates a very special
person in your life, your mom. Treat mom to the best brunch in town
at the Mother’s Day brunch at the Downtown Clubhouse. She’ll
feel like the queen for a day. Fathers, daughters, grandfathers
and granddaughters also have an exciting and historic event in May,
the Father/Daughter Banquet. This event has been taking place at
the Club for over 60 years. Carriage rides, a fabulous dinner and
dancing will all be part of a special night for the dads and daughters
at the MAC. Things are just heating up at the Club. Don’t
miss out!

premier swim teams in the area. The summer swim team is a great way
for your kids to meet new friends and stay in shape. There is the
Red
team, which is competitive, and the White
and Blue team, which is a fun, non-competitive
team that aims to improve a swimmer’s stroke skills and techniques.
You can also sign your child up for the competitive Dive
team. Novice divers are welcome and encouraged
to join the team. If you have any questions, contact Tim Kelley at
314-539-4476.

Miss out on Summer Basketball

with the summer basketball leagues. The Downtown League will begin
the week of June 2. The 10-week league is $60. The West League will
