For more than 100 years, the Missouri Athletic Club has been an important aspect of the St. Louis community. Last year the MAC developed a way for members to give time and resources back to the city. The Board of Governors, in conjunction with the Club Life Committee, developed a charity program that allows members to donate to three area organizations. Each year, the MAC Charitable Society will select three beneficiaries. During its second year, in 2007, the CWC donated more than $10,500 to its three charities: Places for People, Dream for a Day and Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition. Checks were delivered in January. 2008 donations are being collected for:

SunnyHill Adventures
Sherwood Forest Camp Service
Covenant House


Sunnyhill Adventures is a camping program that offers campers exciting, educational experiences for children and adults with and without developmental disabilities. Sherwood Forest Camp Service provides key supports and opportunities to economically disadvantaged children to help them achieve long-term success as adults through summer camps. Covenant House provides shelter and supportive services to homeless, runaway and at risk youth ages 16-21, an age group too old for children's services, yet too young and inappropriate for adult services.

Money is collected monthly and will be held in escrow until January of the following year, at which time the collections will be divided equally and delivered to the three deserving organizations. You choose how little or how much you would like to give. Your monthly donation will be added to your MAC statement.

Your input on needy organizations is always welcome. Let St. Louis know that one of its oldest clubs cares about its community. Please check the amount you would like to donate and return the enclosed form to the Missouri Athletic Club. The amount will be reflected on your monthly statement.

If you have any additional ideas to enhance the success of this program, or for information regarding your donation, contact Sam Hopmeier, 10/10 Club Chairman, by e-mail at hopmeier@aol.com or phone
