Just because our name is the “Mens” Club, our events are not just for ‘men-bers’ but to the entire community, all families and friends.
The Men’s Club was glad to host many events last fall such as:
- Game Night
- Walking tour of Chinatown
- The first movie brunch was the Mel Brooks Film Festival. The second was “Defiance,” a drama about rebel fighters known as the Partisans during the Holocaust. We have conversations following.
- Christmas Dim Sum Luncheon at the Golden Unicorn To follow a Jewish tradition, we filled 2 large tables with families of all ages eating Chinese food.
Other spring events are listed below. Hope to see you!
Any questions or ideas can be emailed to mensclub@eastendtemple.org.

Red Wine Tasting and Reception
Saturday Apr. 26 from 4:30-6:30pm, must be age 21+
Who said wine tasting is not a spectator sport? Do you think you have the best bottle of red wine which costs under $20 dollars? Are you willing to put it to the ultimate test — the judges at EET?
We are seeking up to six contestants for a wine tasting. We are also inviting people 21 or older to witness this train wreck of a wine tasting and to enjoy different wines at a reception with cheeses, breads, crackers, fruit and nuts supplied by the Men’s Club.
Contestants attend free of charge except for the cost of a bottle of wine. The cost for the wine reception, including wine and food is $20. Prizes will be awarded for the best wines as judged blindly by four judges with absolutely no qualifications. For complete details and to sign up, please contact Peter Walker at paw1227@gmail.com.
