MAC Membership Athletic Challenge
 The quest for supremacy is underway, and the battle to be number one is on! The MAC Membership Athletic Challenge has been going on for a month and has produced 20 points for the squash team and 120 points for the basketball team. Time still remains to supply leads and accumulate points. 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. The Challenge will end on June 30. For more information, contact Patti Cundiff at 314-539-4429, or Julie Kueper at 314-539-4408. |
