Membership Athletic Challenge
The quest for supremacy is underway, and the battle to be number one is on! From the swim team of summer to the hoops craze of March Madness, the Missouri Athletic Club proudly invites you to participate in a friendly competition to see which sports discipline (basketball, squash, tennis, racquetball, handball, aquatics/swim team, golf) is number one. From March 1, through June 30, the sports disciplines with the most points will have bragging rights and a trophy placed in the trophy case in the Sportsman’s Club and one at West. Points are earned by getting a membership lead or application. A lead is an individual recommended for membership by a current member. Lead cards are provided for ease of execution and will be available at the Front Desk Downtown and in the Pro Shop at West. Leads will be tracked by the membership staff and aligned with the member that has provided the lead. Leads are worth 10 points. You can receive 100 points by bringing in a prospective member application. Points will be awarded when the Membership Department receives the application, and the membership is approved by the Board of Governors. Help make your sports discipline number one. For more information, contact Patti Cundiff at 314-539-4429, or Julie Kueper at 314-539-4408.

Colonel Jim Graham (USAF Retired) is uniquely qualified to speak to us on the challenge of Afghanistan. A career U.S. Air Force officer, he is a graduate of the Air Force counterinsurgency and counterterrorism school, and majored in Islamic Studies at the Air War College. He served as a strategic planner at HQ, USAF, and Chief of Policy and Doctrine at HQ Military Airlift Command.
His final assignment involved operational airlift planning, troubleshooting, and writing the after actions report for the First Gulf War. Of Afghanistan, Jim notes that no invader, from Alexander the Great, through the British Empire and the former Soviet Union has succeeded. Is current U.S. strategy right on or too little too late? Jim may not have all the answers but you can join the discussion.
