Virtual Programming ....................................21 2 JUL/AUG 2020 LETTER to THE MEMBERSHIP LETTER TO THE MEMBERSHIP by Maikel Correa, MAC Club Manager Dear Members, So far, 2020 has been a complete rollercoaster of a year. In January and February, we were reaching the top. Everyone was excited to kick off a new decade, celebrating the start of an amazing year full of endless potential. Then, the roller coaster dropped. Everything was turned upside-down, and 2020 felt like it was plummeting into a steep decline. We’ve been dealing with a global pandemic, resulting job losses and layoffs, issues of racism and police violence and more. Needless to say, everyone has been going through a lot. Despite the wild ride, I can’t help but focus on how absolutely amazing our MAC Membership has been through it all. You’ve supported the Club, our staff and each other by placing countless orders for carry out food and bottles of wine, lifting each other’s spirits and staying involved through virtual events, and donating to support the staff and the Club we all value so highly. Thanks to all of you, we have a Club to come back to. It’s so amazing to work for a place like this. The fact that the MAC takes care of its Members and its employees is a blessing. I know I speak for the whole staff when I say we are incredibly grateful for the wonderful Members we have. Even though this year is harder than we ever could have imagined, our Members have proven that it’s clearly still full of potential. Sincerely, Maikel Correa Club Manager 3 THANK YOU & JUL/AUG 2020 KEEP 'EM COMING!
