The legendary MAC Apollos stole the show once again at their annual fall concert. This year’s show “Musical Monopoly” took members and their guests on a musical trip around the classic board game. Stops along the way included several well-known streets, railroads and utilities. The group had the audience singing along to tunes such as “Downtown,” “We’re in the Money,” “Under the Boardwalk,” and “Jailhouse Rock.” 
Wondering where you will be as the clock counts down to midnight on Dec. 31? Why not ring in 2009 from the streets of New Orleans... or the Missouri Ballroom. The MAC always hosts the most glamorous New Year’s Eve Gala in town, and this year will be no different. This year’s New Year’s Eve Gala will feature a new theme “Mardi Gras Madness.” Don’t forget your feathers, masks and Mardi Gras beads. Drink all night long for just one price. An open bar is included in the cost, so you won’t have to worry about settling your tab at the end of the night or having enough cash for all of your drinks. Special hurricane drinks will also be available. This New Year’s Eve will really be the Big Easy! Arvell and Company will supply the music all evening long for dancing and entertainment. Arvell and Company has a traditional big band sound, but also incorporates a jazz feel that will have you on the dance floor all evening long. Revelers are encouraged to dress to the theme with lots of feathers, masks, beads and bright colors. Jacket and tie is required. Creative black tie is optional and a call to have fun with your look. Come in your tux with a bright colored cummerbund or pocket square or wear a wacky tie, and ladies don’t forget your glitz and glimmer. Creativity is encouraged so express the spirit of Mardi Gras in your outfit. The evening will begin at 7:30 p.m. with lavish hors d’oeuvres and an oyster/crawfish bar. Dinner will be served at 8:45 p.m., followed by dancing to entertainment by Arvell and Company. At 1 a.m. a continental breakfast will be served. The cost is $125, per person, plus gratuity.

It’s hard to imagine sitting around the pool deck with the cold winter temperatures out now. But in just six months the pool at MAC West will be back open, and your kids will be eager to jump back in. Sign them up for a winter swim clinic to keep their swim skills strong and in their memories. The Downtown Clubhouse will be offering a free swim clinic for kids in first through eighth grades that already know how to swim, but would like to improve their technique. The focus will be on swimming quality, not endurance. Instructor Richard Nix and his staff will once again teach the clinic. Classes will be held at the Downtown Clubhouse on Sundays, from 2 to 3 p.m. The six-week session will start on Jan. 11 and conclude on Feb. 15. The clinic is free, but space is limited.
