MEMBERSHIP TABLE
As you know, the Y’s Men Membership Table is located at Saugatuck Congregational Church every Thursday morning from September 1 to May 16, 2024, as you enter the Hall on the right. Please stop by the table before and after the meeting as we have current important information and literature for you to take with you. The Membership Team is also there to answer any Membership questions that you may have. There are also sign-up sheets there for Y’s Men Social Events when scheduled.
For new Members or any Member who does not have the Username and Password for the Y’s Men website, please stop by the Membership Table at the Thursday morning meeting or call Ron Holtz at 203-993-4970

Y’s Man Bernie Perry will be exhibiting some of the photographs that he has taken in travels to China, Africa and Iceland. The exhibit will be at the Westport Woman’s Club at 44 Imperial Avenue.
The show starts with an opening reception (plenty of food and drinks) on Friday., May 3 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm and continues Saturday and Sunday from 2:00 to 5:00 pm.
VOLUNTEERS
For new members and legacy members - we are seeking volunteers to assist in our many activities and committees. If you are a newer member, this is a great way to meet other members and become more involved and engaged in Y’s Men.
For more information on Volunteer opportunities, please contact our A.D. (Activities Director) and Immediate Past President Baxter Urist at burist@optonline.net
NEW MEMBER LUNCHEON
All new Y’s Men who joined between November 1, 2023 to the present are cordially invited to join their fellow members on Thursday, May 30, 2024 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm for a luncheon at Gabrielle’s of Westport, 27 Powers Court (adjacent to the Westport Country Playhouse).
Following the luncheon, you are invited to a “Backstage Tour” of the Westport Country Playhouse. Invitations will be sent during the week of May 6, 2024 and RSVPs are required. There is no charge for this group.
SPEAKER/PROGRAM COMMITTEE
The Speaker/Program Committee brings to the Y’s Men weekly Thursday morning meetings a roster of speakers who are experts in their fields, good presenters, and fun to listen to. Demand to speak at Y’s Men meetings is quite high. If you enjoy picking up the phone, connecting with a stranger, and pitching them on speaking to the Y’s Men, you are needed for this Committee.
We are seeking Y’s Men volunteers to join the committee as we gear up for the new Y’s Men year beginning June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. All meetings will be held on Zoom. We are looking particularly for members who have potential contacts with interesting speakers who can address our Membership on a variety of subjects that could be of interest to them.
If you are interested please email Ron Holtz at ronholtz.ysmen@gmail.com or call at 203-993-4970.
