Thank You from The Men of St. John’s! 
The Men of St. John’s would like to thank everyone who joined us for another fabulous Annual Oyster Roast and Barbeque. The weather was perfect for the event once again. The oysters, BBQ, music, and fellowship were fantastic! Congratulations to Frank Somoskey on winning the beautiful drawing so generously donated by Mick McCay. Many thanks to the dedicated team of men who worked so hard to make this year’s event successful.

We look forward to another fabulous event next year. Mark your calendars for February 11, 2023!
