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!

Dawn looks for opportunities to make a positive difference through art and community. Her personable style engages audiences around the world.
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:
themenshome@comcast.net (Paypal)

We hope that you can join us on Saturday, June 12th from 8:00 to 9:00PM. For security purposes, the ZOOM link is in the flyer. If you’d like to download it, just click the button below.
