Practice those jokes for the third annual MAC Trunk-R-Treat at MAC West on Sunday, Oct. 26. This spooktacular event is presented by the MAC Families CWC and will be open from 4-7 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to wear their scariest, goofiest and sassiest costumes for this Halloween celebration. Families are encouraged to dress up their cars for the “trunk-r-treat.” Plenty of food and drinks will be served. Little goblins and ghouls can participate in ghostly games and a costume contest.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of the workday with an afternoon relaxation break. A new yoga session will begin on Monday, Oct. 27. This 8-week session meets every Monday from noon to 1 p.m. at the Downtown Clubhouse. Yoga increases flexibility and assists in the loosening of tight body parts, which allows the body to become aligned. Strength training is also more effective when paired with yoga, and yoga allows a person to have an evenly flowing mind while involved in this rigorous activity. Yoga is one of the few physical activities that has a "de-compacting" effect on the body. This is essential to counter the effects of gravity associated with activities such as running or jogging. Yoga also provides much-needed "symmetry relief" to such asymmetric endeavors such as racquet sports and golf, which torque the spine in only one direction. If you are interested in signing up or would like more information, please contact Rick Schneider at 314-539-4434. All skill levels are welcomed and encouraged to participate. 
Take the whole family to MAC West on Friday nights to enjoy an evening out. You can have a relaxing dinner and some time to yourself while the kids are entertained with games, crafts and other kid-friendly activities. The West Clubhouse is now offering Friday night youth activities from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Your children will be supervised by the well-trained MAC Sports Camp staff, who will entertain them with mini-sports camps, games, arts and crafts and much more. This is a great way for children to make new friends and have fun. If your child is interested in participating in the Friday night youth activities, you must remain on MAC West property. When your meal is ready or you are ready to leave, simply come to the multi-sport facility and pick up your child. This service is complimentary and for children ages five and up. Please make sure your child wears tennis shoes if they will be participating in the youth activities. Spend your Friday evening at a place where everyone can have a good time. For a dinner reservation, call 314-539-4441.
