As stated in its charter, the purpose of The Men’s Home is “to provide a home-like environment for alcoholics who are sincere in wanting to recover from alcoholism: to provide food, bed, information, fellowship and the sharing of spiritual values which are a part of that recovery; to expose the alcoholic to other recovering alcoholics so that, together, they can regain self respect, confidence, and a useful place in the community; and to help attain sobriety through the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous.”
We are excited and grateful that Ms. Avery and her ensemble are giving of their time to assist The Home in continuing our mission.
There will be a short reception to follow the performance. Talk and light refreshments from 8:30-9:15 pm.
