Dawn Avery at Christ Church @ Christ Church
Mar 23 @ 9:15 pm – 10:15 pm

Dawn Avery, cellist/composer/vocalist is bringing her unique musical vision to Christ Church in Alexandria, VA for a concert to benefit The Men’s Home. She creates a contemporary world music soundscape from spiritual, pop and classical elements. Her calmly passionate vocals and soaring cello lines reflect a deep devotion rooted in her Native American heritage and love of sacred traditions. She has many recordings and projects, you can read and hear about them at dawnavery.com and on YouTube at bit.ly/dawnavery

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.

Memorial Day Cookout 2022 @ The Men's Home

It’s that time again, our annual Memorial Day Picnic here at The Men’s Home. We do it on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30th, from 2:30-5:30PM. It’s burgers, dogs, and whatever else we can think of, along with sides and sweets.

Folks usually bring other dishes that they like (certainly not required), so we enjoy a wide variety of things to eat. It’s an informal day of food and fellowship, bring the families and dogs too!
