Our Men’s Club holds an “Awesome Steak Sale” several times a year. They purchase T-bone Steaks in bulk from one of the local stores at a reasonable price. The tickets are pre-sold, allowing extras for walk-ins. Steaks are seasoned and grilled. The dinner includes steak, baked potato, salad, roll, desert, drink and condiments for $13 each. Eat in or take out. They are good and turn a nice profit.

 


Our YPD did a Wax Museum. The members dressed up like a favorite person (black) and learned facts about that person. When money was dropped into their basket, they would share something about who they had chosen. This was a success.




Have a function where the members and friends can dress up and have a relaxing evening out.  It can be called:

  • Sweetheart's Ball (Valentine's Timeframe)
  • Debutante Ball (Get the young people involved) This can also be a Rite's of Passage event
