Organizations we have supported are listed and described in detail. We proudly share feedback received from our sponsors and recipients of our donations. We had continued our charitable outreach in the face of covid restrictions that hade curtailed some events.
- The Men’s Club created the Prostate Cancer Committee in September 2022. Along with fund raising, the Prostate Cancer Support Group meets monthly. The group gathers together for support and to review diagnosis, treatment options and pioneering research. During 2024, the Men’s Club instituted a raffle to raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation, a leader in research for prevention and cure of prostate cancer.

2026 programs
Our first program made us want to sing along with Jimmy Scalia’s Italian Songbook. In sharp contrast, James Calaski related how German agents tried to undermine us during WWI. In month 3, actor Bill Agress recreates Albert Einstein.
2025 PROGRAMS
Our year began when police detective and historian James Calaski enlightened us about the 88 years-ago Hindenburg disaster. In February we learned all about our town from Monroe Mayor Steven Dalina. Jointly, in March, with the Veterans Club we heard from ex-Vietnam pilot and POW James Drummond. Also in March we enjoyed our annual breakfast and learned about Sidney Poitier’s life from Sal St. George. In April we enjoyed the melodies of Carol King, presented by our own Larry Wolfert. And in May we entered outer space, 39 years past, with astronaut Bob Cenko. Our renowned Trivia host, Roy Cohen, challenged our intellect at our June pizza supper and annual meeting. In July, Jimmy Scalia entertained us with selections from the many NJ music icons. August 11 will mark our annual Golf Tournament, raising several thousands for local charities. We will also have our annual trip to a Yankee/Met farm team game. September features a trip to Monmouth Race Track for racing and BBQ to benefit the Esophageal Cancer Foundation. The annual ‘Octoberfeast’ BYOB celebration was hilarious with live comedian Joe Bublewicz. In November, Glenn LeBoeuf reminded us that the confederacy actually lost the civil war. And at our December year-end dinner, Don Buzney rolled comedy for us.
