Men's Club Blog

Good Afternoon Men's Club,

I hope this message reaches everyone well.  In this communication, I wanted to update everyone on a few things...Our Men's Club Meeting this Sunday, Review Past Events with Pub Crawl and discuss upcoming events with the Hebrew School Hanukkah Party, Men's Club Basketball, Casino Night Fundraiser and Poker Tournament.

Men's Club (2.0) Meeting - Sunday 12/10/17 at the Brown Religious School starting at 9:15am

This Sunday we will be meeting for our monthly Men's Club (2.0) meeting/brunch at the Brown Religious School (601 N. Parham Rd.) at 9:15am.  If you haven't done so as of yet, please join us to enjoy some brotherhood, a good bagel/nosh, and discuss the direction of the Men's Club along with the events we have planned.  Instead of meeting in the multipurpose room as we usually do, we will be meeting in one of the class rooms to accommodate the Joshua Nelson activities at the Hebrew School on Sunday.

Please see/and read the minutes from our last meeting at our Men's Club 2.0 FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TBEMC20/

3 Pillar Events - Social/Jewish Networking 

We were excited to host our first Social/Jewish Networking Event of the year a couple of weeks back during our Pub Crawl in Scotts Addition. We were joined by 16 Men's Club members and some perspective members as we enjoyed some great beer, brotherhood and conversation.  We started out a Veil Brewing Co. and then tried our hand at Vasen Brewing Co. and ended the evening at The Circuit Arcade Bar.  Check out all of the fun had by all in pictures below.  And if you were not able to join us this time maybe you will be able to join us at our next Social/Jewish Networking Events in the very near future.
