How Do I Receive a $500 Credit on My Next Statement?
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.

Father/Daughter Banquet
The annual Father/Daughter banquet is a special evening at the Club for dads to show their little girls just how special they are. Take your princess on a fairy tale carriage ride through the city, and then enjoy a gourmet dinner in the Missouri Ballroom. After dinner, twirl her round and round on the dance floor until you’re both too tired to dance anymore. The MAC has been hosting the Father/Daughter banquet since the 1940s, when there were elaborate themes and entertainment. Although changing times have altered the event over the years, the focus of the Father/Daughter banquet has never changed. It is still a chance for MAC dads and daughters to enjoy an exclusive evening together. This year the banquet is on Wednesday, May 21. The evening will begin with a reception (carriage rides) at 5:30 p.m. Carriage rides are $10 and must be reserved when making reservations. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m., and dancing at 8 p.m. Those 12 and over can attend for $29.95 + gratuity; those 11 and under cost only $22.95 + gratuity. For reservations, please call 314-539-4470.Or you can sign up online. Click here to enter the member login area.
