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.

Dawn Avery In Concert
Saturday, February 27th
8:00-9:00 EST
Virtual concert on ZOOM. Tickets available through Eventbrite. Due to security concerns, the Zoom ID and password will be emailed to attendees approximately one day to the event.
Grammy-nominated world musician, Dawn Avery explores the relationship between music and spirituality, having been privileged to work with luminaries Luciana Pavarotti, Sting, Reza Derakshani, John Cage, the Dalai Lama, Ron Young, Baba Catalkaya and Tawen’te:se, among others. Honoring both the community and its space as sacred, she fosters intercultural and spiritual freedom by creating multi-media concert ceremonies and directing a world music program and festival. Dawn shares contemporary soundscapes often referred to as mystic pop that contain spiritual, pop and classical elements reflecting a deep devotion rooted in her Native American heritage and Sufi experience.
She has led meditation and music workshops and concerts at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies, Esalen Institute, Open Center, Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre and the Kennedy Center. Dawn looks for opportunities to make a positive difference through art and community. Her personable style engages audiences around the world.
The dog days of summer are nearly waning, which means it’s almost time for our annual Labor Day Picnic here at The Men’s Home.
On Monday, September 5th, we’ll be grilling up burgers and dogs, and putting out sides and desserts. Some folks bring things that they like too, so it’s usually a big spread of goodness. We’ll start at about 2:30 PM, and go until 5:30 PM:
- 2:30 PM – Hello, talk, eat
- 3:30 PM – Talk, eat
- 4:30 PM – Still talking and eating
- 5:30 PM – We say thanks and goodbye, give you your dishes back
We hope you can join us on Labor Day!
It’s good to be back on the course.
Another returning tradition is the golf tournament to benefit The Home. Friday, September 23rd, at Laurel Hill Golf Club in Lorton, Virginia.
A day of golf and:
- BBQ Lunch
- Raffles, and prizes for high scorers
