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.

Men’s Home Non-Golf Tournament 2020
Sep 14 @ 11:00 am – 7:00 pm

The pandemic of 2020 has forced us to revise this year’s tournament. We feel that the idea of staging a safe event isn’t workable right now. However, there will be Men’s Home golf this year.

On Monday, September 14th we will send two foursomes out to play at Bristow Manor, in Bristow, Virginia. As the teams play the course, we’ll check in with coverage of the action on Facebook Live. You can pledge donations based on the strokes under par. Some suggestions for giving would be $10, 50, 100 or 500.

For more information and to help the Home, head over to the Tournament page.
