Board Meeting at Riverside Cafe, 739 W. 13th St. N.
2021-03-15 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Chicago)
Reserved. Please don’t feel that it’s necessary to celebrate True Confessions Day or World Speech Day, or especially, Brutus Day! Put the knives down. And, even though it’s Buzzards Day, come out for a good home like meal after you get up from your nap, as it is Napping Day. We’ll discuss the nuts and bolts of our chapter, and figure
out who is which.

Potluck/Business Meeting at (New Location) Haysville United Methodist Church, 601 E. Grand (71st St. S. & James)
2021-03-20 18:30 - 20:00
Parking is available in the rear to the Fellowship hall. What better day to enjoy our monthly potluck than on International Day of Happiness and the first day of Spring! Although St. Patrick’s Day has past, we can still celebrate with our annual Hot Potato Bar. The board will provide the hot baked potatoes, and you bring the sides, toppings and desserts. These potatoes are huge! You’ll want to stick one down your pants; no dear, in the front. But, you’re not limited to baked potatoes as it is also Corn Dog Day, and Ravioli Day. And don’t forget Oreo Day and White Chocolate Cheesecake Day that I mentioned earlier in the month.
It’s GLAAD Awards day. We should do our own GLAAD Awards and give away Gay Bob Dolls as the award. Here is a list of this year’s nominations: www.eonline.com/news/1231916/glaad-mediaawards-2021-the-complete-list-of-nominations.

Pitch Night at Tracy's
2021-03-24 19:00 - 22:00
International Day for the Right To The Truth! Well, unless you’re playing cards. Let’s also celebrate Chocolate Covered Raisins Day and
Peanut Month on our favorite snacks and beverages bar.

Dining OUT at Cactus Cantina, 2802 S. Hydraulic
2021-03-25 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. Although pecan waffles sound great for International Waffle Day and Pecan Day, we’re going for Tex-Mex food at Cactus Cantina.
It’s been like a year or so since we were here last. You can see their menu at: www.facebook.com/Cactus-Cantina-508248092605716/menu.

Boys Night OUT at J's Lounge, 513 E. Central
2021-03-26 19:00 - 22:00
It’s Make Up Your Own Holiday Day. It’s also Purple Day, and we could listen to Prince. J’s is fun little bar where we can play pool or
talk about all of the people who didn’t come out. See you there, unless you want us to talk about you, your choice.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca
2021-03-27 15:00 - 17:00
It’s National Joe Day, and Joe wants to go bowling, don’t you, Joe. It’s better than sitting in the dark during Earth Hour Day or National Theater Day,
unless you’re at Circle Cinema. After bowling we can go somewhere to eat since it’s Spanish Paella Day.

GAYme/Video Nite at Mike & Joe's
2021-03-28 18:00 - 22:00
Weed Appreciation Day? The only weeds that I appreciate are dead ones! Instead we’re going to celebrate Neighbor Day with card
or board games and videos. If you have a favorite board game or video, bring it to share. Sorry, no porn or nude Twister; my back still hurts from the last time. And if you’re wondering what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, it’s also Something On A Stick Day and Black Forrest Cake Day.
{Psst. The GAYme/Video event is just a ruse, actually it’s Martin’s 70th Birthday. I know; he doesn’t look it (he looks dead or asleep, same diff erence). Let’s surprise him with a birthday party! Or you can send your birthday wishes and ebirthday cards to mendozamdm@aol.com. But, Shhh! Don’t tell him, it’s a surprise!} Pandering has its privileges

Coffee With The Boys at Cracker Barrel, 619 S. Ridge Road
2021-03-30 09:00 - 10:00
For Caffeine Awareness Month we’re going to Cracker Barrel for our coffee, and maybe some pecan waffles, they still sound good.
And afterwards, we can walk it off in the park since it’s Take A Walk In The Park Day.

Celebrations at Country Cafe, 2804 S. Seneca
2021-04-01 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved.
It’s Sourdough Bread Day, no foolin! It may be Tell A Lie Day, but honestly, we’re returning to Country Cafe for a Fun Day. You can see their menu and their daily specials at: www.wichitacountrycafe.com.

Breakfast Boys Club at Huddle House, 1735 W. 21st St. N.
2021-04-03 09:00 - 10:00
Reserved.
With all of the rain we’ve been having, we may be celebrating Find A Rainbow Day. With Fish Fingers and Custard Day and Chocolate Mousse Day, I could only think of one place, none of that which you would find here, but they serve a pretty good breakfast. You can view their menu at: www.huddlehouse.com/food/breakfast.

Pitch Night at Mike & Joe's
2021-04-07 19:00 - 22:00
It’s No Housework Day, something I celebrate every day. So why not celebrate it with us and play cards. It’s Active Dog Month and you’ll find five of them at Mike & Joe’s. It’s also National Handmade Day, however we’re not celebrating that this year. Last year when I asked you to bring what you made by hand, it was so embarrassing, and became messy. CLEAN UP ON ALL OF THE AISLES! And if you wondering what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, its National Coffee Cake Day.

Lunch With The Boys at Louie's Rose Hill Cafe, 107 S. Rose Hill Road, in Rose Hill.
2021-04-09 11:00 - 12:00
Reserved. On Unicorn Day, since it is getting warmer and we want to get out more, we’re going to Rose Hill for lunch. However, we have to get there early as they get very busy with their usual lunch time crowd. You can find their menu at: rosehillchamber.org/louis-cafe/tab/menu. It’s also, Name Yourself Day. You can either name yourself, or we’ll be glad to call you names, your choice.

Botanica's Tulip Festival, 701 N. Amdion
2021-04-10 10:00 - 12:00
General Admission is $10 and Senior Admission is $8. The Carousel is an additional $3. Over 66,000 tulips in over 110 varieties were planted. I suggest we get there early so we can have more time to see all of the tulips. Bring your camera as this is a photo opportunity. There will be food trucks available and music. If it is bad weather, we can reschedule for either of the following two Saturdays. For more information and to purchase tickets go to: botanica.org/tulip-fest.

Bowling at West Acres Bowl, 749 N. Ridge Road.
2021-04-10 14:00 - 15:30
It may be Golfer’s Day, but we’re going bowling instead and at an earlier time. Both Seneca and North Rock Bowls have tournaments this date. In hopes to finish up before Cosmic Bowling begins at 3:30 PM, we’re going at 2 PM. We’ll decide where and when to go eat afterwards. Last year, on International Safety Pin Day, we found out that not all pins are safe, no matter where we put them. Ouch!

Board Meeting at Riverside Cafe, 739 W. 13th St. N.
2021-04-12 18:30 - 20:00
Finally a day that we can really celebrate! It’s Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, and you can probably find that on the menu here. We will be discussing our plans for the future of our chapter. It’s also Walk On Your Wild Side Day, and here’s Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed from 1972: vimeo.com/348710553.

Potluck /Business Meeting, 6:30 PM at Hilltop Manor Clubhouse, 1411 S Oliver.
2021-04-17 18:30 - 20:00
Since it’s Blah Blah Blah Day, we’ll keep the business part of our meeting short and sweet. It’s also Cheeseball Day, but you can bring whatever you want. I don’t know what the weather will be like, whether it will be warm or cold, so bring appropriate foods and desserts. And we’ll have Bingo, so bring your bingo prizes ($5 or less in taste)wrapped or bagged. It’s also Husband Appreciation Day, so be sure to appreciate yours or someone else’s. In fact, invite them to potluck so we can all appreciate them!

Pitch Night, 7 PM at Tracy's
2021-04-21 19:00 - 22:00
On World Creativity and Innovation Day, I know of some people who like to make up their own rules, and even their own card games. And you can find them here. In case you’re wondering what to bring to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, remember it’s Tea Day, Banana Day and Chocolate Covered Cashews Day. Let’s see how creative and innovative you can be with a banana!

Coffee With The Boys at HeBrews Cafe & Coffeehouse, 304 Main St. in Towanda.
2021-04-22 09:00 - 10:00
It’s Earth Day, and what better way to start the day than with a good breakfast. I have heard so much about HeBrews and received a recommendation that I thought it would be worth our while to try them. They said Thursday would be a better day to visit as they offer breakfast all day. You can read about them at: www.onlyinyourstate.com/kansas/past-decade-restaurants-ks/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=kansas&utm_campaign=newsletter.

Bowling at West Acres Bowl, 749 N. Ridge Rd.
2021-04-24 14:00 - 15:30
Go Birding Day is for the birds. We want to go bowling. We’re going back to West Acres because Seneca Bowl still has a tournament going on this date, and Northrock charges $10 per person, per hour. And we’re going earlier to avoid Cosmic Bowling which starts at 3:30 PM. Afterwards let’s go somewhere where they serve Pigs in a Blanket, since it’s Pig In A Blanket Day. Beats Save The Frogs Day, excuse the pun.

CookOUT at Sparky's
2021-04-24 17:00 - 20:00
To celebrate National Sense of Smell Day, Sparky is offering to grill hot dogs and hamburgers with weather permitting. You are asked to bring sides and desserts, and if you want anything different to throw on the grill, bring it. Sparky is also providing outdoor games, like Corn Hole, old school.
Again, if you’re wanting something different then bring it!

Dining OUT, 6:30 PM at Fred & Barney's Restaurant, 2424 N. Woodlawn
2021-04-29 18:30 - 20:00
, Reserved.
It’s National Shrimp Scampi Day and I’m sure that they serve that here, or they should. Fred & Barney’s was so good when we ate there last December. They even remembered us, fondlely, let’s hope. And, in honor of International Dance Day, I give you this. Don’t tell me that those boys on Tik-Tok aren’t cute: www.facebook.com/1766862053327174/videos/412723516596812.

Boys Night OUT at J's Lounge, 513 E. Central
2021-04-30 19:00 - 22:00
Darn, both International Dance Day and Zipper Day were the day before. But, Honesty Day, that’s never stopped us before. I don’t know if you’ve seen this dance, Kizomba, but we should try it: www.facebook.com/KizombaSpain/videos/2512631052325546.

Breakfast Boys Club, 9 AM at Jimmy’s Egg, 106 S. Hydraulic
2021-05-01 09:00 - 10:00
It’s May Day and World Naked Gardener’s Day. Perhaps we should have had breakfast on someone’s patio, and enjoyed all that nature has to offer. Or maybe go to Dutchman’s or Johnson’s to see what they’re offering as free samples? Beats Free Comic Book Day all to hell!
We’ve haven’t been to Jimmy’s Egg since November. And to refresh your memory, here’s their menu:www.jimmysegg.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Wichita-KS-El-Dorado-KS-2020-Sp-Menu.pdf. No reservation is required, so whoever gets there first, ask for a table for eight.

Pitch NIght, 7 PM at Mike & Joe’s, 921 N. Bebe
2021-05-05 19:00 - 22:00
On Cinco De Mayo, we’re going to play cards and make out like bandits! Personally, I have never made out with a bandit, but hey, I’m
game. If you’re wondering what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, it’s also Hoagie Day. Just sayin’.

Celebrations¸ 6:30 PM at Spear’s Restaurant & Pie Shop, 4323 W. Maple
2021-05-06 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. It’s No Diet Day and Beverage Day, as if we ever needed an excuse to return to Spear’s to celebrate Birthday Boys and Anniversary couples and for their free slice of pie. I know it’s only been since March when we were here last, but I received a suggestion to return. And since it’s National Nurses Day, invite him to join us for dinner.

Time of Remembrance and Reconciliation Day

Bowling, 2 PM at West Acres, 749 N. West St.
2021-05-08 14:00 - 17:00
It may be Belly Dance Day and No Socks Day, but we’re going bowling instead. Join us as a bowler or as a spectator, no skill required. Or, you can
sit at home and compete for World Donkey Day. After bowling since it’s Hamburger Month, we’ll probably go somewhere to eat.

Board Meeting, 6:30 PM at Riverside Cafe, 739 W. 13th St. N.
2021-05-10 18:30 - 20:00
Oh no! It may be Stay Up All Night Night, but not for us! We’re just going to have dinner, our meeting and then go home to bed, if we’re lucky!
Join us on One Day Without Shoes Day to discuss our future activities.

Potluck & Business Meeting at Haysville United Methodist Church, 601 E. Grand. (71st St. S. & James) in Haysville.
2021-05-15 18:30 - 20:00
With holidays like Bring Flowers To Someone Day and Straw Hat Day, I’m thinking we should have more Spring like foods such as our annual Everything Salads dinner. Now, for the newcomers and uninitiated, Everything Salads is not just vegetables, but includes ham or chicken salads, green salads, fruit salads, etc., you get the picture. Of course, as in the past, if that day generally turns out to be cold, we’ll just throw everything into a big pot and have soup!
And since the next day is LGBTQ+ Elders Day, we will have Amy Arnold from Central Plains Area Agency on Aging as our guest speaker to tell us about they have to offer us.
