May Cherry Diamond
 In just a few weeks summer will hit the MAC. School will be out, the pool will open and sports camps will kick off. The West Clubhouse is the hub of summer activity at the Club. Club members are fortunate that 15 years ago the Board acquired the West Club. It added tremendous value to an MAC membership by expanding the variety of facilities, services and programs. Celebrate the summer season at the West Club. Don’t forget to also frequent the Downtown Clubhouse before Cardinals baseball, the VP Parade and Fair St. Louis. Stay connected through the Club this summer by checking out the May Cherry Diamond for the latest news and events.
