We have the event catered and some items made by residents and some potluck courtesy of our friends. We eat and visit from 6:30 to about 8:00 p.m. and then set up for a meeting where we feature speakers from other parts of the country.
Although dinner is free, the event is a fundraiser for us. Your donations are of course appreciated but also crucial in allowing us to continue our mission. Because of your assistance we can continue to provide men in early recovery with the opportunity to live in a sober environment and prepare for a happy life on their own. Now in our sixty-sixth year, we are grateful for the opportunity to give back what was so freely given us.
We hope to see you for an evening of food and fellowship to benefit The Men’s Home. This year we’ll feast on some BBQ from Sweet Fire Donna’s (and potluck) from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., then enjoy a special Speakers’ meeting from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. featuring Amy D. all the way from Louisville, Kentucky! We hope to see you Saturday, December 1st here at The Men’s Home.

Each spring we host an anniversary celebration and fundraiser. Of course we can’t feed anyone right now but we can still celebrate via the Zoom app. We’re calling it a Zoomathon because it is a bit like a telethon. We’ll offer a broadcast (sobercast?) version of our fellowship and speakers meeting and ask you to drop in and enjoy (If any of you can sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, we’d love to hear it).
We’ll start at 6:00, you can come hang out, say hello and maybe see some friends that you’ve missed at other meetings. Then at 7:00, we’ll enjoy our featured speaker, Dave H. from Nebraska, for tales of experience, strength and hope from the Cornhusker State.
You’ll be able to donate during the meeting. We’ll have links posted to our Paypal and Venmo addresses, and our Giving Tuesday link:

Last year’s Spring Event was held virtually, and this one will be also. Like many places, we’re on the verge of re-opening but not quite there.

We’ll start at 8:00 but open up the room at 7:30. You can come hang out, say hello and maybe see some friends that you’ve missed at other meetings. Then at 8:00, we’ll enjoy our featured speaker, Steven T. from Wisconsin, for tales of experience, strength and hope from the Badger State.
You’ll be able to donate during the meeting. We’ll have links posted to our Paypal and Venmo addresses:
