Men’s Night Out Several times a year the dads get together for an evening and do “manly things” like sitting down for some Monday Night Football, hitting a bucket of balls, paintball, boardgames, or just watching cheesy movies. |

Parent’s Night Out Get a sitter for the kids. The parents are all going out together. This event is a great way to get to know the other couples in the group. |

End of Year Party This party is the wind-down event of school year and we always like to go out with a bang. Bring the entire family and enjoy a great barbeque, traditional outdoor games and prizes. It is held on the weekend, so you can bring the whole family, and is a great opportunity to say "see you next year" to all of your friends. |

Special Events |
