LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT have required unanticipated repairs or replacement sooner than planned.

A speak candidly about where s your President, I want to

our Club stands financially. Many of you have heard, but some of you may be surprised to hear that the Club has experienced cash flow challenges and a significant operating deficit this year. Day-to-day operating expenses, repair and maintenance costs, and funding for new capital projects have outpaced our operating revenue dues, capital maintenance dues, and initiation fees. The good news is that demand for membership in the MAC is as strong as ever, particularly bolstered by the recent enhancements made to the Downtown and West Clubhouses, along with our new Clayton amenity. Some operational expense pressure has been beyond our control. Wages, costs of goods, property taxes, and insurance premiums have risen sharply over the past few years. Revenues from our dining and banquet business have fallen well below budget, without making adequate adjustments on the expense side. On top of these operating challenges, a recently completed reserve study at our Downtown and West Clubhouses identified $18.5 million in deferred maintenance across our aging facilities. Many of our assets have aged beyond their useful lives and, in several cases,

4 F CHERRY DIAMOND

In recent months, your Board of Governors has spent considerable time working with management to review our operating dues and capital structure, tighten our operating budget, and develop a long-range financial plan to address all these challenges. Some results of that work will be implemented with the new fiscal year beginning September 1. First, the Board voted to approve a new capital reserve fund called “The Next 125 Fund,” underwritten by a $25 monthly contribution per member across all membership categories. This fund will be segregated and used exclusively to pay down debt and strengthen our balance sheet. The “Next 125” name signifies our Club’s 125th anniversary in 2028, with the goal of building a long-term plan that will sustain us for the next 125 years. More details regarding The Next 125 plan will be shared in the coming months. The Board also voted to discontinue the Platinum Partner discount, excluding Emeritus Lifetime members. Coming out of the Great Recession, the Platinum Partner program helped attract new members and served as a valuable retention tool. For nearly 15 years, the Platinum Partner program has given a subset of members a $100-per-month discount on their operating dues. The program closed to new participants in 2024. The Board believes discontinuing the discount is central to putting the Club’s operating budget on sustainable, break-even footing and funding the

member experience the way operating dues are intended. This decision follows member input gathered at three town hall meetings, and will move the Club toward a healthier, more sustainable operating dues revenue model. The fiscal year ahead includes several key steps focused on fiscal accountability, led by our new CFO. We’ve joined a group purchasing program expected to save 10% to 15% on key vendor costs; renegotiated our health insurance to hold the increase to 5.5% with better coverage; and begun consolidating multiple software platforms into a single enterprise system to eliminate redundant costs. We’re also implementing key performance indicators, or KPIs, throughout the Club so performance is measured consistently and material variances are reviewed proactively. This is not the end of that work, and we intend to keep reporting back to you on our progress. These bold measures, while unpopular to some, will go a long way toward enhancing member equity, establishing a sustainable path for operating revenue and membership growth, addressing our deferred maintenance, reducing our debt, and strengthening our capital reserves and balance sheet. Thank you for your continued trust, patience, and commitment to the Club we all own together. Sincerely,

Mark Milton, President Missouri Athletic Club

hopefully some cooler temperatures, we look forward to welcoming you back in the month ahead with plenty of fitness and fun options for the entire family. The Stan Musial Grille has reopened following a much-needed refresh and continues to receive wonderful comments about the overall look of the space, as well as Chef Brian’s enhanced menus. Chef has brought back several favorites and added new dishes based on member feedback.

In recent years, we have focused on our position as a private club. Operationally, we are continually planning ways to enhance your Club experience. As an athletic club, we are looking to the future with great optimism as we consider how to advance our fitness, athletics and wellness programming. The fitness and wellness industry is growing at an extraordinary pace, and we intend to play an integral role in creating an enhanced overall experience in these essential areas of well-being.

Please keep the Downtown Clubhouse top of mind for all Cardinals, Blues, and Battlehawks pregame activities. Be sure to also take advantage of our convenient shuttle service to and from the games.

The best private clubs excel at creating continuous and unique experiences, and the MAC is committed to enhancing every member’s quality of life as “Lifelong Athletes.” The future is exciting, and we look forward to the journey with you!

MAC Clayton continues to see strong membership growth and increased usage throughout the Club. We are pleased to see members taking advantage of the workspace and cigar lounge. To those already enjoying MAC Clayton, we hope to see you during the Clayton Art Fair, Sept. 18-20. Greg and the team are

We are fortunate to have a committed team of dedicated employees. The MAC now has 600 employees across our three locations! I am proud to share that 33 employees have been with the MAC for more than 20 years. This is truly a hallmark of a fine club and a benchmark we certainly hope to build upon.

It is an honor to recognize a new member of our “30-Year Club” at the MAC, Larry “LA” Absheer! LA joined the team in 1996 as our controller and advanced to the position of chief financial officer, a role he held until 2018. He was instrumental not only in the Club’s growth but also in navigating the Club through more challenging times, notably the Great Recession, while always keeping us on a fiscally responsible path. LA was a founder of the City and Athletic Club Financial Executives and an active member of the local and national Club Management Association of America. In recent years, LA has served as the MAC’s director of advancement, helping position the Club for sustainable succession and connecting members with our newly established Historic Preservation Fund. He is a true ambassador for the MAC, and we are fortunate to have him continuing to advance the Club! Thank you, Larry, for your many contributions!

I look forward to seeing you around the MAC, whether Downtown, West, or Clayton!

COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE

Through its partnership with MissouriKIDS, the Charitable Society for Children (CSC) is helping young athletes overcome life-changing injuries and pursue fulfilling futures.

MissouriKIDS champions young athletes across Missouri whose lives have been forever changed by serious injury. The organization provides lifelong support. Adaptive equipment, accessible transportation, home modifications, and educational assistance gives young people the support they need to overcome challenges and pursue independent living. On Aug. 5, the Missouri Athletic Club hosted Cocktails for a Cause, an evening dedicated to supporting the work of the CSC and highlighting MissouriKIDS, one of the MAC's three charitable partners for 2026. Members had the opportunity to learn more about the impact of MissouriKIDS and hear from Drew Hessler, who has been both a beneficiary of and advocate for the organization for many years. His story offered a powerful reminder of the difference community support can make in the lives of young athletes and their families — not only following an injury, but throughout their lives. Through events such as Cocktails for a Cause, the MAC and the CSC support organizations creating meaningful change throughout the community. Members interested in continuing their support are encouraged to attend upcoming CSC-sponsored events throughout the year. 8 F CHERRY DIAMOND

MICK FOLEY The WWE Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and “Hardcore Legend” comes to the MAC this October. Each year, one of the highlights of MAC Wrestling is the legend invited to share stories from a life in the ring. Decades removed from their prime, and with plenty of hard-earned war stories to tell, these wrestling icons give members a chance to revisit the larger-than-life characters they grew up watching. This October, that tradition continues with a guest who may require more than one introduction ... Officially, there is one: WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley. Unofficially, members may also encounter Cactus Jack, the unpredictable outlaw; Mankind, the masked misfit who lurked in boiler rooms; Dude Love, the tie-dyed ladies’ man; and perhaps even Mr. Socko, the remarkably famous tube sock. Yet the most interesting personality may be Foley himself: a three-time WWE Champion whose life outside the ring has included bestselling books, comedy tours, charitable work, and an unexpected devotion to Christmas. It may take several characters to contain him.

10 F CHERRY DIAMOND

THE BOY BEHIND DUDE LOVE

HAVE A NICE DAY

Long before arenas chanted his name, Foley was a wrestling-obsessed teenager on Long Island with a video camera and a big imagination.

When Foley joined the WWE in 1996, he appeared as Mankind, a tortured figure wearing a leather mask and ragged brown clothing. He inhabited boiler rooms, pulled his hair and spoke in an unsettling voice. Naturally, his catchphrase was “Have a nice day.”

He created Dude Love, a sunglasseswearing romantic who bore little resemblance to the shy teenager portraying him. With friends serving as opponents and his family’s yard standing in for an arena, Foley filmed homemade matches — including one in which he leaped from the roof of his house onto mattresses below. Then came the moment that set his career in motion. In 1983, Foley traveled more than 200 miles to Madison Square Garden to watch “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka face Don Muraco in a steel cage. When Snuka launched himself from the top, Foley was transfixed. He later described it as the moment that made him want to become a professional wrestler. Foley began training and made his professional debut in 1986. Dude Love, however, would have to wait. Enter Cactus Jack. BANG! BANG! Wild and unpredictable, Cactus Jack carried Foley through wrestling promotions in the United States, Japan, and beyond. Along the way, Foley became known for matches that tested what audiences — and his own body — could withstand. During a 1994 match with Vader in Germany, Foley became entangled in the ring ropes and lost much of his right ear. A year later, he defeated his mentor, Terry Funk, in Japan’s King of the Deathmatch tournament, surviving a brutal series of matches involving barbed wire, explosives, and fire. Foley did not win over audiences by appearing untouchable; he did so by managing to get back up. He was never the most polished or imposing figure in the ring, and he never pretended to be. Instead, he allowed audiences to see the effort, fear, and determination behind every fight. There was something deeply human about Foley: He took the punishment, absorbed the setbacks and kept moving forward, often with humor and heart still intact.

Mankind could have been merely frightening. Foley made him oddly sympathetic — a lonely outsider who seemed to want human connection but had no idea how to ask for it. Then, in 1998, Mankind entered Hell in a Cell with The Undertaker. The match produced one of the most replayed moments in wrestling history. From the top of the approximately 20-foot steel structure, The Undertaker sent Foley crashing through an announcers’ table. Foley later climbed back onto the cage, only to fall through its roof and into the ring below. He continued the match. That night secured Foley’s place as wrestling’s “Hardcore Legend.” But as audiences began to see more of the man beneath Mankind’s mask, something unexpected happened: They loved him. Mankind traded a barbed-wire-wrapped weapon for Mr. Socko, a white sock puppet that assisted with his signature Mandible Claw. It should not have worked. But somehow it did, and the sock became a star. Dude Love finally made his long-awaited debut, and Cactus Jack eventually returned. Together, the “Three Faces of Foley” turned one wrestler into an entire cast.

New York Times nonfiction bestseller list. He went on to publish additional books and bring his storytelling and selfdeprecating humor to live audiences. Then there is Santa Claus. A longtime Christmas enthusiast, Foley has written holiday books, volunteered as Santa, and appeared in the documentary I Am Santa Claus. His charitable work has also included hundreds of hours supporting survivors as a trained hotline volunteer for RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. It is perhaps the most telling contrast in a life full of them — the performer celebrated for how much pain he could withstand became equally committed to helping others through theirs. Cactus Jack supplied the danger. Mankind brought vulnerability. Dude Love delivered the swagger. Mr. Socko supplied one of wrestling’s least likely success stories. Mick Foley gave each of them a heart. This October, Foley joins the distinguished lineup of wrestling legends who have visited the MAC to share the stories behind their celebrated careers. For longtime fans, it is an opportunity to relive the days when Foley’s unforgettable characters were in their prime- and hear firsthand what life was really like behind the mask. Come for the legend. Stay for the stories. Have a nice day.

An oyster’s flavor can be influenced by everything from the salinity and temperature of the water to the tides, currents and microscopic nutrients found in its growing region. Much like wine, oysters can have their own distinct “terroir,” with some offering crisp, salty notes, and others leaning towards sweetness or mineral flavors. The selection for this year’s Oyster Social will highlight an incredible range of flavors. Oysters will arrive from both coasts of the United States, as well as Portugal, Spain, Japan and France. Among the featured varieties are Great White Oysters from Cape Cod Oyster Company, Rock Hole and Blackberry Points from Little Wicomico Oyster Company, and Birthday Girl Oysters from Matheson Oyster Company.

Beyond their flavor profiles, these oysters represent the careful work of growers who cultivate each variety in specific waters to develop its unique character. The result of their hard work allows for the opportunity to taste subtle differences between oysters grown miles, and sometimes oceans, apart. Oysters are only the beginning; the evening will also feature an assortment of tinned fish, Boquerón’s and Mediterranean sardines, a sashimi board and several surprises. Make plans to attend the Oyster Social on Friday, Oct. 9, at the West Clubhouse. Enjoy an evening of exceptional seafood and oysters from around the world.

ROOTED IN

RELATIONSHIPS BY E X EC U T I V E C H E F PAT R I C K R A M S E Y At MAC Clayton, our culinary philosophy is simple: Source the finest ingredients and let them tell their story. That pursuit is at the heart of everything we do. We invest countless hours searching for exceptional products, but just as important are the relationships we build with the farmers, millers, cheesemakers and artisans behind them. By getting to know these producers, we gain an understanding of not only how they craft their products, but why they do it. Those connections allow us to share their stories with you. When I first encountered Hilary Haigh’s Animal Farm butter, I knew it was something extraordinary. Before I even tasted it, I was captivated by its vibrant golden color and fresh, grassy aroma. Each hand-shaped butter arrives carefully wrapped in a hand-numbered bag - a small but meaningful reflection of the care that goes into every batch. When it came time to choose the butter we would serve in The Forest Park Room, there was never much debate. It had to come from Hilary. Hilary, her husband, Ben, and their three children own and operate Animal Farm Creamery, a small family farm in Shoreham, Vermont. Their days are devoted to caring for their 15 Jersey cows, ensuring they are healthy, comfortable and free to graze naturally. Through thoughtful rotational grazing, they not only care for the land but also allow the butter to express 18 F CHERRY DIAMOND

the changing seasons. In summer, it is beautifully golden with delicate, grassy notes. In winter, it becomes exceptionally rich, with an even higher butterfat content and remarkable depth of flavor. Hilary regularly shares updates from the farm, telling us how the cows are doing, what each season has brought, and occasionally introducing us to individual members of the herd. We’ve come to know cows like Penny by name. It may seem like a small detail, but it is a reminder that this butter comes from real people who care deeply about their animals and their craft. We are proud to serve the same butter found at restaurants such as The French Laundry, Per Se and The Inn at Little Washington, but what means even more to us is knowing the family behind every delivery. That same level of intention guides every purchasing decision we make. Our lamb comes from Elysian Fields in Pennsylvania. Our ducks are raised by Liberty Ducks in California. Our organic flour is stone-

milled by Janie’s Mill in Ashkum, Illinois. Every producer we partner with shares a commitment to quality, craftsmanship, stewardship of the land and doing things the right way. We are honored to bring their work to your table. The choices we make as chefs matter. By supporting producers who farm responsibly and create food with integrity, we help preserve traditions that value quality over quantity. We believe food should do more than satisfy hunger — it should nourish, create connections and tell the story of the people whose hands made it possible. Our team works every day to create meals that are memorable, comforting, and worthy of the moments you choose to spend with us. The next time you enjoy a warm demibaguette generously slathered with butter in The Forest Park Room, we hope you’ll think of Hilary, her family and Penny grazing in a Vermont pasture. Every great meal begins with someone who cares.

Bright, botanical, and made for warm-weather sipping, the Kiwi Kiss brings together Nolet’s gin and Scapegrace Black Gin with kiwi purée, simple syrup, and acidulated pineapple. Vegan foamer lends the cocktail a silky texture, while a splash of prosecco adds an effervescent finish. Despite its colorful presentation, the Kiwi Kiss leans crisp rather than sweet. Its fresh fruit flavors are balanced by lively acidity and the botanical character of the gins, resulting in a clean, refreshing finish.

STA N M U S I A L G R I L L E

BACK in the LINEUP The Stan Musial Grille returned in August with a refreshed atmosphere, familiar hospitality and a new menu item inspired by “The Man.”

A longtime favorite at the West Clubhouse is back in the lineup. Following a renovation that began May 11, the Stan Musial Grille welcomed members for a soft reopening Aug. 5 before fully reopening Aug. 7. The redesigned space offers an updated casual environment where members can feel equally comfortable holding a business meeting, gathering for a family dinner, or catching a game with friends. The most significant changes were made to open the room and improve its flexibility. The large trophy case that previously separated the bar from the dining area was removed, along with several smaller wing walls and half walls that divided the space. The result is a more open, adaptable layout with a stronger connection between the bar and dining areas. New décor, an updated color palette and a reconfigured seating plan further refresh the grille while maintaining the comfortable, approachable atmosphere members have come to know. Early response has been enthusiastic, with members particularly complimenting the room’s openness, décor and color scheme. The renovation also provided an opportunity to take a more intentional approach to the Stan Musial memorabilia displayed throughout the grille. Members of the Musial family worked with the designer to review the collection and identify the pieces with the greatest significance to Stan and his family. The resulting display places greater emphasis on those meaningful connections rather than memorabilia collected from outside sources. 20 F CHERRY DIAMOND

One particularly distinctive feature will be “Stan’s Corner.” A specific pattern within the new table arrangement helps the table stand apart, while additional design elements will further distinguish the space and tell its story.

preparation remain true to the familiar favorite enjoyed by one of the most beloved figures in St. Louis sports history.

Chef Brian Hardesty has introduced five new dinner selections centered on classic comfort food, plus “Stan’s Favorite,” a tribute to the hot ham and cheese sandwich Musial enjoyed at the Club.

It is a fitting addition to a restaurant that has always carried more than Musial’s name. The grille celebrates the unassuming, welcoming spirit associated with “The Man” while continuing to serve as an easy gathering place for families, athletes and members looking to enjoy a meal after a workout or watch a favorite team take the field.

Based closely on his original order, the sandwich features griddled Berkshire ham, American cheese, and grilled sourdough. While Chef Brian’s choice of high-quality Berkshire ham adds a refined touch, the ingredients and

An official ribbon-cutting ceremony will formally mark the grille’s next chapter following the completion of Stan’s Corner. Additional details will be shared with members as they become available. JULY | AUGUST 2026 F 21

MAC BOOK CLUB

THURSDAY, SEPT. 10 | 5:30 P.M. | WEST CLUBHOUSE THURSDAY, OCT. 8 | 5:30 A.M. | MAC CLAYTON

For its September meeting, the MAC Book Club will meet at the West Clubhouse as John Hoehn guides the group through Company of Women by Doug Villhard, based on the exploits of one of America’s most entrepreneurial minds at the time of the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis.

On Thursday, Oct. 8, the Book Club will convene at MAC Clayton to consider We’ll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida under the direction of Past Governor Adrian Di Bisceglie.

By promoting a woman’s right to vote, Edward Garner Lewis built a women’s magazine empire that spanned the country until a conspiracy — reaching all the way to President Theodore Roosevelt — threatened to destroy it. Readers first meet Edward as a young, charming salesman with dreams of starting his own business. When his wife unexpectedly falls ill, Eddie has no choice but to risk their savings to afford her care.

Tucked away in an old building at the end of a narrow alley in Kyoto, the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul can only be found by people who are struggling in their lives and genuinely need help. The mysterious clinic offers a unique treatment: it prescribes cats as medication. Patients are often puzzled by this unconventional prescription, but when they “take” their cat for the recommended duration, they witness profound transformations in their lives, guided by the playful, empathetic, occasionally challenging yet enduring cats.

With a flashy new idea, an abundance of smart women in his circle, and an entrepreneurial spirit, Eddie begins his transformation from desperately hustling potions on street corners to becoming a wealthy, high-stakes entrepreneur. Soon, his expansive power and progressive views on women’s rights threaten men at the highest levels of the country. No matter how powerful a traditional workforce, government, and society may be, Eddie’s story reminds the world to never underestimate the company of women.

Throughout the pages, the power of the human-animal bond is revealed as a disheartened businessman finds unexpected joy in physical labor; a young girl navigates the complexities of elementary school cliques; a middle-aged man struggles to stay relevant at work and home; a hardened bag designer seeks emotional balance; and a geisha finds herself unable to move on from the memory of her lost cat. As the clinic’s patients navigate their inner turmoil and seek resolution, their feline companions lead them toward healing, self-discovery, and newfound hope.

industries. Best of all, those connections tend to happen naturally — during a workout, at an event, or around the dinner table. These are the years when careers take shape, circles widen, and a sense of belonging can make all the difference. The MAC offers Associates a place to find it.

For generations, the MAC has been a gathering place for St. Louis business and community leaders. Today's Associates are a part of that tradition while creating paths of their own. A Speaker Series event might offer a fresh perspective. Volunteering with the Charitable Society for Children can lead to meaningful community involvement. Athletic programs, Arts Society outings, and conversations over dinner all offer opportunities to meet fellow members, learn from experienced professionals, and form genuine connections.

Associates include all MAC members aged 30 and younger. The monthly Associate Meetings are among the easiest ways to get involved and meet others at a similar stage in life. If you haven't attended one yet, consider this your invitation.

The benefits extend well beyond the workplace. Athletics encourage discipline and teamwork. Philanthropy develops compassion and leadership skills. Social and professional events introduce Associates to new friends, mentors, and contacts across 24 F CHERRY DIAMOND

Supporting the Women Who Hold Everything Together family and the CSC are passionately committed to providing families with support wherever it’s needed. With the help of social workers, Joshua’s Great Things’ Family Support Program provides gift cards to families in need of additional assistance. Rather than a toy drive or fundraiser, this project offers moments of comfort for mothers carrying enormous emotional weight while supporting a child through cancer treatment.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the family’s world changes. Doctor appointments, treatments, medications, long hospital days, and sleepless nights become the new normal. During this change, mothers become caregivers, advocates, schedulers, comforters, and emotional anchors for the entire family. While Mom is making sure everyone else is okay, who’s making sure she’s okay? That’s the simple yet powerful question behind this year’s collaborative service

28 F CHERRY DIAMOND

project between the MAC Charitable Society for Children (CSC) and Women’s Initiative Group (WIG). Founded in 2013 in memory of Joshua Brown, a child who battled brain cancer throughout his life, Joshua’s Great Things is one of CSC’s 2026 beneficiaries. The organization was created by Joshua’s parents with two missions: to help families when they need it most and to fund pediatric brain cancer research. Although Joshua lost his nine-year battle, the Brown

The initiative is a natural fit for the CSC, which is dedicated to supporting local children’s charities through fundraising, volunteerism, and awareness efforts. Each year, MAC members nominate and select three 501(c)(3) nonprofits they believe would benefit from the reach and engagement of the MAC community. "What gets me excited about CSC every year is that we're able to put a spotlight on organizations that are doing really important work but maybe don't have the biggest marketing budget or the largest donor base behind them," said CSC Chair Nat Walsh. "A lot of times people haven't heard of these organizations until they

become one of our beneficiaries, and then all of a sudden they're being introduced to hundreds of MAC members who want to get involved. That's powerful." Walsh believes the Club’s impact extends beyond a single fundraiser or service project. "I think sometimes we underestimate the impact the Club can have. It's not just about fundraising. It's about awareness, connections, volunteers, and people sharing an organization's mission with their friends and colleagues. When you start multiplying those things across the MAC community, it can have a tremendous effect on the life cycle of an organization. That's why partnerships like this one between CSC and WIG are so exciting. We're bringing together two groups of engaged members around a cause that's incredibly meaningful." That spirit of collaboration is what makes this year’s partnership between CSC and

WIG especially meaningful. While the CSC focuses on serving children and families throughout the St. Louis community, WIG is built around supporting, encouraging, and connecting women within the Club. Bringing the two together to serve mothers navigating childhood cancer feels like a natural extension of both missions. Since its founding in 2011, WIG has helped cultivate a welcoming and engaging environment for women at the MAC. What began as an effort to encourage greater female participation has grown into a community built on meaningful relationships, engagement, and philanthropic initiatives, reflecting the Club’s spirit of service and connection. "The ladies are excited to get more involved with the community by expanding our reach beyond the MAC to help women throughout the St. Louis region in many different ways,” said Morgan Smith, membership manager and WIG staff liaison. “By partnering with

the Charitable Society for Children and organizations like Joshua’s Great Things, WIG is doing just that.” What the CSC and WIG are helping create is a reminder that someone is thinking about Mom, too. During the month of September, the groups will assemble goodie bags for the Mom Tote Drive. Each will be filled with self-care items such as candles, cozy socks, journals, bath products, encouraging notes, tea, and more. To help CSC and WIG gather supplies, scan the QR code to visit the Mom Tote Bag Amazon Wish List. Items may be delivered directly to the MAC or dropped off in person at the Downtown Clubhouse Membership Office.

Bottled-in-Bond The story of Heaven Hill begins with the Shapira family, who immigrated from Russia to the United States in the late 1800s and built successful businesses in Kentucky. Following the repeal of Prohibition, a group of experienced distillers partnered with the Shapiras to launch Heaven Hill in 1935. Rather than rushing a product to market, the company waited four years before releasing Old Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon in 1939, signaling adherence to some of the most stringent standards in American whiskey-making. Aged four years and bottled at 100 proof, the whiskey quickly became the best-selling bourbon in Kentucky and helped establish Heaven Hill as a rising force in the industry. Over the decades, Heaven Hill grew into one of the nation’s largest family-owned spirits companies. Its influence extends from its Bardstown roots to Louisville, where the company operates the Bernheim Distillery and helped return distilling to Whiskey Row with the opening of the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience in 2013. Today, that legacy continues at the Missouri Athletic Club. As of 2025, the MAC is one of only two Bottled-in-Bond locations in the state of Missouri. members will have the opportunity to experience this historic designation firsthand on Oct. 7 at the Mark Twain Society Bottled-in-Bond Whiskey Tasting at the Downtown Clubhouse. Carefully selected cigars will complement the evening and match the significance of sharing such a remarkable bottle among fellow members at the Missouri Athletic Club.

WELLNESS

MORE Than a Workout The MAC offers a thoughtful approach to recovery, relaxation, and well-being. A good workout can leave you feeling accomplished - and very aware of muscles you may have forgotten existed. Fortunately, wellness at the MAC does not end when the workout does. Throughout the Club, members have access to services and amenities designed to support recovery, restore energy, and promote lasting well-being. Some address a specific goal or concern. Others offer a welcome opportunity to step away from the demands of the day. Together, they make the MAC much more than a place to exercise. For many members, recovery begins with movement. That may mean starting the morning with a swim, taking a yoga or Pilates class, working through a mobility routine, or meeting with a personal trainer. When a strenuous workout is not what the body needs, lighter movement can improve flexibility, ease stiffness, and provide a valuable mental reset. When an injury, persistent discomfort, or physical limitation requires greater attention, the Club’s wellness professionals can help members determine an appropriate path forward. 32 F CHERRY DIAMOND

Personal trainers, physical therapists, massage therapists, and nutrition professionals each bring specialized expertise with services that can work together to support a member’s individual needs. Massage therapy offers one of the Club’s most restorative experiences. A session may focus on relaxation, muscle soreness, mobility, or tension accumulated through exercise, travel, or even long hours at a desk. Available within the familiar surroundings of the Club, massage can become a natural extension of a member’s wellness routine rather than an occasional indulgence. The sauna, steam room, and cold plunge provide additional opportunities to unwind after exercise. Each offers a different experience, but the appeal is much the same: a few uninterrupted moments to slow down and reset. The greatest luxury may simply be having a place that anticipates what is needed. At the MAC, members can step away from the demands of the day and return to them feeling restored, supported, and ready for what comes next.

What Should You Eat Before, During, and After Exercise? DANI ROBERTS, MAC DIETICIAN If you have ever felt unsure of what to eat before a workout, you are not alone. It is one of the most common questions I receive. Some people think they need a giant meal beforehand, while others skip eating altogether. Then there are questions about protein shakes, sports drinks, and supplements. The truth is, fueling your workout does not have to be complicated. For most people, eating well around your workout can sustain energy, support recovery, and help you feel your best. Whether you are going for a walk, strength training, biking, or playing pickleball a few nights a week, simple nutrition habits can go a long way.

What Should I Eat Before Exercise? Your body needs fuel, just as your car needs gas. If you're running on empty, you may notice you feel tired or sluggish during your workout. If you are eating a couple of hours before exercising, choose a balanced meal that includes carbohydrates and protein. Easy options include: F Grilled chicken, rice, and vegetables F Eggs with whole wheat toast and fruit F A turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread F Oatmeal with berries and nuts If you’re fitting in an early morning workout or heading to the gym immediately after work, a full meal may not be necessary. A small snack about 30 to 60 minutes beforehand is usually enough. Good options include: A banana F Greek yogurt F Peanut butter on toast F Applesauce F A handful of crackers F

Avoid eating a large, greasy meal immediately before exercising. Heavy foods can be difficult to digest and may leave you feeling uncomfortable during your workout.

Do I Need to Eat During My Workout?

Don't Forget About Water

For most people, the answer is no. If your workout lasts less than an hour, water is usually all you need.

Hydration is one of the easiest parts of exercise to overlook. There is no need to drink a gallon of water before exercising, but it is important to drink consistently throughout the day.

If you're out on a long bike ride, hiking for several hours, running a half-marathon, or playing in an all-day pickleball tournament, that is a different story. The body uses more of its stored energy during longer periods of activity, so adding carbohydrates can help maintain energy. Simple options include: F A banana F Orange slices F Pretzels F An applesauce pouch F A sports drink, particularly if you're sweating heavily There's no need to overthink it. Most recreational exercisers do not need expensive energy gels or specialized supplements.

What About After Exercise? What you eat after exercising can play an important role in recovery. Protein helps repair muscle, while carbohydrates help replenish the body's energy stores. Try to eat something within an hour or two after your workout. Aim for approximately 20-30 grams of protein, along with a source of carbohydrates. Easy meal options include: F Grilled chicken with sweet potato F Salmon, rice, and vegetables F A turkey wrap with fruit F Greek yogurt with granola F Cottage cheese with berries If you are short on time, do not stress. A protein shake and a banana can be a convenient alternative.

A few simple tips: F Drink a glass of water before your workout. F Sip water during exercise. F Replace fluids afterward, especially if you have been sweating. F If your urine is light yellow, you're probably adequately hydrated.

Keep It Simple Social media makes sports nutrition seem incredibly complicated. You do not need six different supplements, electrolyte powders, or a cabinet full of expensive products to have a good workout. For most adults, it comes down to three simple practices: 1. Before your workout, have a small meal or snack with carbohydrates and some protein. 2. During your workout, drink water. If you're exercising for longer than an hour or doing something especially intense, consider adding a source of carbohydrates. 3. After your workout, eat a meal with protein and carbohydrates, and replace the fluids you lost. Good nutrition does not have to be perfect. Small, consistent choices can help you feel stronger, recover better, and continue enjoying the activities you love for years to come.

MAC SQUASH CROSSES THE POND

36 F CHERRY DIAMOND

he Missouri Athletic Club is proud to be the home to a dedicated squash program. Long a part

T of the Club’s athletic culture, the sport brings together all levels who value competition and community. Recently, four MAC junior squash players had the opportunity to take this passion abroad. Squash Pro Alex Ingham accompanied Hayden Dembiec, Johnny Gabel, Nolan Ma, and Louis Wang on a trip to England to prepare for the Dutch Junior Open. The group returned with stories of action-packed days spent sightseeing, playing on European squash courts, and earning new hardware from the Oakwood Graded tournament in England.

London Calling The itinerary was packed for the MAC's first junior squash trip to Europe. The group visited iconic landmarks, including Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, while also training and meeting athletes from around the world. "These trips are about so much more than squash,” Ingham says. “Watching the kids grow through new challenges, adapt to different environments, meeting athletes from different cultures, and experience some of England’s most iconic landmarks whilst getting some practice swings in.” Together, the players experienced the sights and culture of England, creating memories that will last a lifetime. “The trip was amazing!” Hayden Dembiec says. “We saw so many famous buildings in London. We also got to see top professional squash players like Joel Makin, Declan James, and Jasmine Hutton play.” “I loved the trip,” Johnny Gabel says. “We got to go sightseeing in London and train with top pros.” Gabel says those experiences greatly helped the players' performance at the Dutch Junior Open.

“I really enjoyed going to Europe to play squash and found the entire experience extremely enlightening,” Louis Wang says. “I learned a lot about the culture in Europe, the way players train, and many improvements I have been able to incorporate into my game.”

After hard-fought matches against some of the world's top emerging junior players, the MAC competitors walked away with valuable international experience and unforgettable memories.

“The trip wasn’t all about improving our squash skills,” Nolan Ma says. "Through team dinners, exploring the city of Amsterdam together, and watching Wimbledon — I am very grateful for this opportunity.”

Swim BANQUET 2 0 2 6

The 2026 Swim Banquet brought swimmers, families, and coaches together to celebrate another successful season at the Missouri Athletic Club. A highlight of the evening came as Mia Crandell marked the end of her 14-year swim career with the MAC Swim Team. In her closing remarks, Mia reflected on what the program had meant to her and thanked the coaches, teammates, and families who had shared in her journey. To close the evening, four-year-old Rosie Russell, the program's youngest swimmer, presented Mia with a gift. It was a meaningful moment that celebrated Mia's lasting connection to the program and the generations of swimmers who make the MAC Swim Team such a special part of the Club.

MAC HERITAGE

The MAC

Apollos

Some traditions are embedded so deeply in the heritage of the Missouri Athletic Club that it is difficult to imagine the Club without them. For more than eight decades, the MAC Apollos have been one of those traditions. Their story begins with Carl Bauer, the Missouri Athletic Club’s athletic director from 1917 to 1963. While Bauer is remembered for his tremendous impact on athletics, he was also a strong advocate for music and fellowship. Influenced by his German heritage, Bauer believed that singing and camaraderie were powerful contributors to personal well-being and a strong community. That belief took shape in 1943, when a dozen members came together to sing at the Club’s annual Victory Banquet. The members loved it. Just six weeks after their first rehearsal, 40 members gathered in the Main Dining Room to present a concert, marking the beginning of a tradition that continues today. The group was initially known as the MAC Glee Club and later the MAC Chorus before officially adopting the name “MAC Apollos” on Oct. 12, 1943. The name was fitting. In Greek mythology, Apollo was the god of light, healing, music, and poetry - qualities that reflected the spirit of the organization and its purpose within the Club. Believed to be one of the oldest all-male singing groups, the Apollos quickly became an important part of Club life. They provided entertainment during major milestones, anniversaries, and celebrations, helping generations of members connect with longstanding Club tradition. Today, the Apollos continue the traditions established more than 80 years ago. Their performances remain a familiar and cherished part of the Club, from concerts and special events to singing the national anthem and entertaining members during the Club’s beloved Breakfast with Santa. Their voices have echoed through generations of Club history, connecting past and present while helping preserve the spirit of the Missouri Athletic Club. Members are invited to celebrate this enduring Club tradition at the MAC Apollos Fall Concert on Nov. 20.
