*Our bylaws stipulate that all prospective Members must be current or prior residents of either Westport or Weston, CT.   Please do not refer anyone who does not meet this criteria.


MEMBERSHIP MONTH

March 2024 is Y’s Men-designated Membership Month where our focus should be to invite prospective Y’s Men guests to any of our meetings or functions.  We have a new supply of our “Prospective Member Cards” that you can carry in your wallet and present to someone who could become a future Y’s Men Member.   These cards are available at the Membership Table every Thursday at the Church.   The goal for the 2023-2024 Y’s Men year (to May 30, 2024) is to have every member attempt to invite at least one prospective member as your guest to any Thursday meeting, Activity or Social Event.


SAVE THE DATE

For all New Members who joined Y’s Men from November 1, 2023 through May 30, 2024,  there will be a NEW MEMBER LUNCHEON on Thursday, May 30, 2024 from 11:30 am until 1:30 pm followed by a guided “Backstage Tour” of the Westport Country Playhouse from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm for those electing to attend.    The luncheon will be held at Gabriele’s of Westport,  22 Powers Court,  Westport (adjacent to the Westport Country Playhouse).   If you are a new member who joined since November 1, 2023,   you do not want to miss this exciting luncheon event.


New Member Information Folders*

If you are a 2023 Member who joined Y’s Men any time between January 2023 and June 1, 2023, please contact me to receive the RED New Member Information Folders that are currently being distributed to all incoming new members.   Each folder contains detailed information concerning the four components of Y’s Men:    Activities, T&E,  Social, and Programs (Speakers) as well as contact information for all Chairs and Committee Leaders.


*These folders are now available to ALL MEMBERS upon request.  You can obtain yours at the Membership Table on Thursday mornings at Saugatuck Congregational Church.
