Take the Initiative
Recruitment = Rewards

Take advantage of a rewarding new membership program at the Club. Under the new MAC Membership Initiative, you will have unlimited potential to earn credits on your bill by referring new members. The MAC Membership initiative is being offered to stimulate membership growth. Members are encouraged to recruit as many new members as possible to promote the benefits and traditions of the MAC. For each successfully proposed new Jr. Resident or Resident members, who pays the full initiation fee of $500 or $1,000 respectively, the primary referring member will receive a credit on their member account of $250/each new Jr. Resident member or $500/each new Resident member. This offer will be in effect from May 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. New member referrals prior to this date are excluded. This plan has great potential to generate many new members. If you have questions, or as you have new member referrals for this initiative, please contact the Membership Office: Tom Angus (Downtown) 314-539-4486, Casey Lackey (Downtown) 314-539-4438 or Julie Kueper (West) 314-539-4408.
