June Cherry Diamond
 Every June, the Cherry Diamond cover features the new Board of Governors. This year’s shoot was done right at the Club to introduce a new membership initiative. The 2010-11 Board of Governors are featured with several new members of the Club. The membership initiative, Each One/Reach One, is encouraging each member to reach out to a family member, business associate, or friend and introduce them to the MAC. Recruiting new members to the Club is easy. Just provide their name and phone number to the MAC Membership Department and they will take care of the rest. New members bring more fun and friends to your Club, and there will be lots of fun happening this summer at both Clubhouses. Summer at West is in full swing now that the pool is open. Don’t forget about the upcoming Dive-in Movie and 4th of July pool party. West is also offering delicious barbeque specials. At the Downtown Clubhouse, Lobsterfest in the Grille is back! Also, be sure to stop in the Club before or after Cardinals home games this baseball season. Get out and enjoy your Club this summer. To find out all that is happening around the Club, be sure to read this month’s Cherry Diamond.
