Do you want to live the longest and best life you possibly can? Practicing wellness can help you achieve a balance between all aspects of your life so that you can live it to its fullest potential. The West Clubhouse will be hosting a series of wellness luncheons featuring expert speakers on various wellness topics. The first wellness luncheon will be held on Thursday, April 23, and will feature Bess Maxwell. Maxwell is the co-founder of ShowMe Aquatics & Fitness. Her enthusiasm for sport and her professional dedication to exercise prompted her to establish ShowMe in 1999. Dr. Maxwell strongly believes that everyone, regardless of ability, can enjoy and benefit from exercise, recreation and sport. She will be speaking on the benefits of water exercise, particularly in older adults. Water exercise is extremely beneficial to those who suffer from aches and pains in their joints. Wellness luncheons are $15, inclusive per person and will be held at the West Clubhouse beginning at noon. For reservations, call 314-539-4490. Or you can sign up online. Click

The date of the 2009 MAC Golf Classic is set for Aug. 31, and will be hosted again by the Country Club at the Legends. Last year, the inaugural event attracted more than 100 golfers, helping to raise awareness and more than $50,000 for the MAC Preservation Foundation. Planning has begun to make the second MAC Golf Classic bigger and better. If you would like to help the effort by being a part of the host committee, please contact Past President Rick Lodewyck at 314-446-3502 or lodewyck@cdengineers.com. The MAC Preservation Foundation is chaired by Past President Don Gunn and co-chaired by Past Presidents Gerry Ortbals and Kim Tucci. The Preservation Foundation has commissioned the “Our Club Forever” capital campaign to raise the funds necessary for a major renovation that includes important life safety issues and upgrades to facilities that will position the Downtown MAC Clubhouse to best serve members today and tomorrow.
As a member of the Missouri Athletic Club, you have probably acquired hundreds of memories at the Club. As your children or grandchildren grow up around the Club, they too are making memories. If you have a child or grandchild who is approaching 25, encourage them to join the MAC and reap the benefits of the Legacy Program. The Legacy Program gives a member’s children who have outgrown their family’s membership at age 25, the ability to begin their own membership. The program dictates that any direct descendent of an active member in good standing at the Club does not have to pay an initiation fee when joining the Club. For resident members, this can mean a savings of up to $1,000! If you are interested in the Legacy Program or would like more information, please contact Cindy Tangaro in the Downtown membership office at 314-539-4448 or Julie Kueper in the West office at 314-539-4408. Legacy members can join at any time and pay monthly dues determined by age classification.
