Whether you’re looking to expand your network, indulge in a hobby, or embark on new adventures, our affinity clubs offer something for all [Milwaukee Athletic Club Members](https://themacwi.com/membership).

From the rich aromas of our Cigar Club to the intellectual discussions of our Book Club, the empowering gatherings of MAC Women, the strategic plays of Mahjong, the energetic challenges of our Basketball League, the insightful exchanges at Business Roundtables, the exclusive golfing experiences of MAC Golf, to the adventurous spirit of the MAC Rod and Gun Club – each club is a unique opportunity to connect, grow, and enjoy.

# **DISCOVER MAC AFFINITY CLUBS**

 

## CIGAR CLUB

Enjoy a fine cigar, gourmet dinner, and a glass of wine on the first Tuesday of every month. This group meets for cocktails and smoking outside on the deck starting at 5:30pm with dinner served at 7pm. The MAC Cigar Club continues to provide excellent opportunities to meet, socialize and network with other Club Members.

## **BOOK CLUB**

Discover your next great read and enjoy lively conversations with diverse opinions on the most talked-about books. Book Club meets for lunch at noon on the first Wednesday of every month.

## **MAC WOMEN**

A core group of MAC women have come together to enhance the value of membership. Their objective is to make career connections, offer mentoring and professional development opportunities, provide a family support network–and even attract more women to join the MAC.
