Welcome! Welcome to our website and, if you are new to the area, welcome to New Canaan. The New Canaan Men’s Club was founded in 1977 by a group of men who met regularly at the Y to play racquetball. While we have grown quite a bit since then, friendship and fellowship remain core to our Club. We meet on Friday mornings in Morrill Hall at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, but we are both nonreligious and nonpartisan. Our Members come from New Canaan and surrounding communities. They bring diverse experiences from their careers, talents, travels, and lives. What brings us together is the variety of activities and interests Club Members share. Explore our website and calendar to see the many and varied activities that are available to all Members. Each Friday meeting has a speaker covering an interesting and often timely topic so we are constantly learning. more… Next Meeting – Friday, March 15, 2024
