OLL Men's Club
All men of the parish are invited to enjoy fellowship, great food and drink, and also learn more about the Men’s Club.
The Men’s Club ministry is a vital parish group of over 60 men of all ages who steward, assist, and support various activities and projects throughout the year that promote fellowship among the men of the parish while serving the needs of the parish family, especially our youth.
​
We are involved with a wide range of items providing something for everyone’s unique interests and talents; from running a golf tournament fund raiser for scholarships to hosting dinners and social events. Please see the sample list on the back of this flyer. We also assist with various parish requests and campus facility projects. And, for whatever we’re involved with, we always have a good time while making positive contributions to many worthy causes.
We realize that many of you work and/or have other commitments. All we ask is that you consider attending at least one dinner meeting per year and participating in at least one of our activities or projects. You should be able to fit this into your schedule and you will find it both rewarding and enjoyable.
To RSVP or if you have any questions, please email mensclub@ollchapin.org or call Club President, Russell Howell (803-606-1995), or Vice President, Mark Desrosiers (610-745-9239). We hope you will join us for fellowship and camaraderie! “Walk-ins” are also welcome.
