Contract Bridge Night
2025-06-12 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Jim and Sam’s home, 9708 Lee Boulevard, Leawood, KS, 66206, United States
So, before we chat about bridge, did you know that contract bridge has its origins in the 16th Century? And, about 15 million Americans age 45 and over know how to play and about 5 million of them play at least a few times a year. Kinda’ nifty, huh? Now my exposure to this game started when I was a mere lad. My folks loved the game and attempted to teach me to play. Unfortunately I was more eager to continue my clandestine assignation with GI Joe and Ken (stolen from my sister) who were carrying on a torrid affair unbeknownst to poor Barbie (also stolen from my sister). But enough about that. Back to bridge. PTKC has a monthly bridge group on the second Thursday of each month. Games are held at Jim Wright’s home and, even better, all skill levels are welcome to join in. Want to join the game? Just keep an eagle eye out for the Punchbowl invitation from Jim!
Same stuff about vaccines, guys. Be aware, please, of your respective vaccination status and let’s keep everyone healthy.

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2025-06-13 12:00 - 13:30 | Pegah’s on Johnson Drive, 11005 Johnson Dr, Shawnee, KS, 66203, United States
Ah, the appeal of Pegah’s in Shawnee. Sure, the food is pretty darn good and plentiful. Yeah, the coffee is hot and reasonably potent (I’m lookin’ at you, Denny’s!) and we get a semi-private (well, sort of) back room. But the real charm of the place is when our favorite waitress snarls at us, “Hey old men – are you ready to order?!” You cannot put a price on that.
Clearly we really like this eatery as evidenced by the fact we all tend to hang around way past 1:30. We have a large crowd of PTKC’ers every Friday so it’s worth the jaunt. Parking can be a little tight but you’ll find a space – not to worry. So, join us!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, we encourage you to protect yourself and fellow Prime Timers by getting the latest flu and Covid vaccines. Thanks, guys.

PTKC Mixer - At Missie B's & Dinner
2025-06-13 17:00 - 18:30 | Missie B’s, 805 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
30 years ago, Missie B’s opened as a gay owned and operated piano/karaoke bar. Since that humble beginning it’s become a leading gay KC hangout with special entertainment and drag shows. It’s not just a place to grab a drink, it’s an experience! So, join your fellow KCPT’ers to celebrate the end of the week and the start of the weekend. Maybe grab a few pals and head out for dinner at some point. We keep it loose and easy (hey, no jokes!) and we’ll see ‘ya there!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, stay healthy, please! Vinnie our PTKC Vaccine Fairy knows all!

"Arrive as a star, leave as a star" Private tour at The Museum of Kansas City
2025-06-14 11:00 - 12:00 | The Museum of Kansas City, 3218 Gladstone Blvd., Kansas City, MO, 64123, United States
Now this is something special and you have your fellow PTKC’er and board member, Mike Sugnet, to thank! Mike arranged with Bruce Winter, aka Melinda Ryder, to take us on a private tour of her exhibit “Arrive as a star, leave as a star” at the Museum of Kansas City on Saturday, June 14 at 11:00 AM. This one-of-a kind exhibit highlights Melinda’s 50 year career as a drag artist in our city. The tour is limited to 20 people and PTKC will pick up the tab. Afterwards, we can grab a bite at the museum’s soda fountain and café called The Elixer and take in other exhibits at this spectacularly restored, once privately owned mansion known as Corinthian Hall. Trust me, it’s worth it! Let’s rendezvous at 10:45 AM at the main entrance.
Keep an eagle eye out for the Punchbowl invite to sign up! Stay healthy, fellas, and join us!

Happy Hour Dinner - Spices Asian Restaurant in North Kansas City
2025-06-16 17:00 - 19:00 | Spices Asian Restaurant, 2417 Burlington Street, North Kansas City, MO, 64116, United States
Now before we chow down at The Cheesecake Factory smorgasbord (I see you drooling, Doug!) next Monday, we’re gonna calm down a little. And, that leads us to a really good casual Asian restaurant called Spices in North Kansas City. There’s a lovely menu full of Asian Fusion and Thai cuisine AND a full bar. They’re located near the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport and Macken Park and there’s plenty of parking.
We’d love you to join us! Oh, and please stay healthy, fellas.
