December Father/Son - Father/Daughter Dinner  Meeting  Photos

IThe Men’s Club jump started the Advent season with our annual Father/Son - Father/Daughter Christmas Dinner. What a memorable evening, complete with a visit from Santa Claus who helped hand out our Zoo Miami related gifts and raffle prizes to both the young and shall we say “more mature (at least physically)” attendees. What a blessing it was to hear and see our special guest speaker Ron Magill tell the story of a rescued eagle. Whether you were 6, 36 or 76 years old all 112 in attendance were entertained, enthralled and educated. The Men’s Club was proud to honor Ron with a check for the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment.

SJNMC VThanksgiving Veterans Appreciation 2022.jpeg

Our November Thanksgiving Dinner Meeting saw the Men’s Club “Gave Thanks” to our Veterans. The night began with four cadets from the Miami Killian High School JROTC program Color Guard presenting the flag. The JROTC director Major James Brown (US Army Retired) gave us a brief overview of their successful program. It was a pleasure to see these fully uniformed young men sharply execute the Flag presentation ceremony. The contrast in age and continuity of service was appreciated by our 24 attending Veterans. (10 USAF, 9 Army, 3 Marines, 1 Navy and 1 Coast Guard) SJN’s, Octavio Orochena (US Army PFC 1962-65) sang the National Anthem. Instead of military issued “MREs” a traditional Thanksgiving dinner was enjoyed by all 62 men in attendance. Our speaker Lt. Col. Tom Gammons (USAF Retired) who is the Education Officer at the Miami Military Museum gave us an excellent presentation on the history of the Richmond Naval Station as well as the impact of military events on our community.

March Dinner  Meeting  Photos

Your Men’s Club’s Annual “Wearin’ of the green” St Patrick’s Day Dinner. Our outstanding kitchen staff led by Jimmy “Mc”Iovino prepared Corned Beef and Cabbage as well as Shepherd’s Pie. Men’s Club members Mark Minervino (who’s grandmother was from County Kerry) and David Donnelly presented the group with a history of St Patrick himself and how the Irish saved Christianity (worth a google search for more info on that). The Donnelly brothers led us in a few Irish sing-a-longs, a few jokes were told, and Irish beverages were present in some of the cups when we shared a toast to the memory of the Men’s Club’s John Sullivan.

February Dinner  Meeting  Photos

Our February Dinner Meeting  featured Monday Night Football with the Men’s Club: Super Bowl Edition. There were 107 attending the Fiftieth Anniversary celebration of the Miami Dolphins Perfect Season. Special — make that extra special— guest speaker Mercury Morris, discussed how the defeat in Super Bowl VI motivated the team to that historical perfect season capped off with a victory in Super Bowl VII. Mercury told us that he didn’t find God, God found him, a comment to ponder.
