Twice each year, we host a dinner and Speakers’ meeting to celebrate and say thank you to friends of the Home. We do the first in May and another in December.
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 this year we welcome Edith P. from Nebraska.
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.
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
Larry Mitchell is a Grammy award-winning producer, engineer and performer who has toured the world playing guitar with well-known artists including Tracy Chapman, Billy Squier, Ric Ocasek and Miguel Bosé. As an artist, he has released 9 solo records and won a San Diego Music Award for best pop jazz artist.
Kate Freer is a multimedia designer working in theater, film, and installation. Her background in film and computer science combine to generate work that is not only aesthetically beautiful, but pushes the boundaries of conventional theatrical video.
We are excited and grateful that Dawn, Larry, and Kate are giving of their time and talent.
There will be a short reception to follow the performance. Talk and light refreshments from 8:30-9:15 pm.
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:

We hope that you can join us on Saturday, May 16th from 6:00 to 8:00PM. For security purposes, the ZOOM link is in the flyer. If you’d like to download it, just click the button below.
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.

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.
So we’re inviting you to help support the Men’s Home with one last Zoomed fundraiser. We’ll hold this year’s event on Saturday, June 12th from 8:00 to 9:00 PM EST.
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:

SoberFeast 2023
We are proud to announce the return of “SoberFeast”, an evening of fine dining to benefit The Men’s Home.
The event will feature a four-course dinner, prepared by Chef Harper McClure, and served during an evening at The Men’s Home. The cost is $200.00 per person; the chefs are donating their food and expertise so that the proceeds go to support the Home.
Last year was a great success, we hope that you can be a part of it this year.
