Potluck/Business Meeting at Haysville United Methodist Church, Fellowship Hall, 601 E. Grand in Haysville
2022-03-19 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. Although it’s Post St. Patrick’s Day we’re going to have our annual Hot Potato Bar. We’ll bring the hot potatoes and you bring the sides and toppings. However, since it’s also National Poultry Day and National Corn Dog Day, I’ll entertain foods honoring those holidays as well. And don’t forget desserts as it is National Chocolate Caramel Day. And unless we have a guest speaker, we’ll have Bingo. Here’s your opportunity to re-gift those fabulous Post Valentine’s and/or Christmas gifts, just re-bag them and nobody will be the wiser.

It’s As Young As You Feel Day (at 9 AM, Daylight Savings Time) and National Goof Off Day, now that’s a holiday I can take to the sofa.

While it is National Near Miss Day, don’t you miss this opportunity to play cards again with your friends. And if you’re wondering what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, it’s National Chip & Dip Day and National Melba Toast Day. Here’s to you, Melba.

Guys Night OUT at J’s Lounge, 513 E. Central
2022-03-25 19:00 - 22:00
With it being International Waffle Day and National Pecan Day, sounds like we should have gone to Waffle House. But you may find a couple of nuts probably reading Tolkien since it’s also Tolkien Reading Day. You’ll never know unless you try. Come out to listen to the music and possibly pool if the table’s available.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca.
2022-03-26 15:30 - 17:30
Since it’s Make Up Your Own Holiday, I proclaim this day as Come Out To Bowl Day since National Bowling Day is already taken and not until the second Saturday in August. Come out to bowl, regardless of your skill level, or join our many fans and audience without skills. And since it’s Spinach Day, in honor of Popeye, we’ll probably go somewhere to grab a burger afterwards.

Dining OUT at JAX Restaurant & Bar, 9719 E. 21st St. N.
2022-03-31 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. JAX is one of those dining places saved for special events. However, remember we had a good showing at Bella Luna in January. We’re reserved in a room for twelve, however, if we have more, they will seat us in a bigger room but I have to call a day ahead. For that reason, I need you to please RSVP to me at mendozamdm@aol.com or text me at 316-573-9934 by Tuesday, March 29th as I will have to cancel or confirm by Wednesday, March 30th.

Breakfast With The Guys at Jimmie’s Egg, 106 S. Hydraulic, (Hydraulic & Douglas).
2022-04-02 09:00 - 10:00
It may be National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, but I think Jimmie’s Egg can do better than that as you can see from their menu: www.jimmysegg.com/breakfast. Jimmie’s Egg doesn’t take reservations, so whoever gets there first, grab a table for six or eight, and a cute waiter. I mean, secure a table, and ask for a cute waiter.

2022-04-06 19:00 - 22:00
What a great mash up! It’s Tartan Day, National Walking Day, Sorry Charlie Day and Plan Your Epitaph Day. It takes a very brave man to walk around in a Tartan kilt on a breezy April Kansas day. Of course, all it takes is one stiff gust and it’s Sorry Charlie, and your epitaph will read, He Died of Embarrassment. Or you can play cards with us, Pitch or UNO. And you’re welcome to bring your favorite snacks, like Hostess Twinkies (Day) and (National) Caramel Popcorn (Day) to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar. Don’t forget your kilt.

It’s National Catch and Release Day, that’s how we bowl! Come out and join us either as a bowler or a spectator, or both. And since it’s Chinese Almond Cookie Day, we’ll probably go somewhere afterwards for a burger.

Board Meeting at Country Cafe, 2804 S. Seneca
2022-04-11 18:30 - 20:00
Oh my goodness! It’s National Cheese Fondue Day and National Eight Track Tape Day, now those were the days, my friend. We thought they would never end, like our board meetings. Come out and join us for a good hot meal and plans for the upcoming events. And, although it’s also National Submarine Day, I’m going to save that celebration for when Mike opens the pool.

Potluck/Business Meeting at Hilltop Manor Clubhouse, 1411 S. Oliver.
2022-04-16 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. Although it’s Mushroom Day and National Eggs Benedict Day, Spring weather can still be a little iffy. That’s why I’m leaning more towards a Soup or Salad theme. If it’s cold, bring a soup, and if it’s warm, bring a salad. “Soup” can be a stew or a chili or even a casserole. And “Salad” can be a green salad, ham salad or a chicken salad, you decide. It’s also Husband Appreciation Day, so don’t forget the desserts, like Jello Salad. And with any luck, we’ll have a surprise guest speaker. Well, it’ll be a surprise,if he makes it.

Pitch Night at Tracy’s, 2914 Grail
2022-04-20 19:00 - 22:00
I thought Look Alike Day meant that we should look like someone else. Like I wished that Kyle looked like Al Parker, although he did come very close when we were young. Anyway, while you’re contemplating what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, remember it’s National Pineapple Upside Down Day. Just remember to hold it from the bottom.

Earth Day
2022-04-22

Lunch With The Guys at Shanghai Restaurant, 3815 E. Harry
2022-04-22 11:30 - 13:00
On this Earth Day we’re going to celebrate with Chinese and American food. The buffet is $10.99 plus tax for seniors, although I’m sure that they tax everyone alike. And since it’s Oklahoma Day, here’s a shout out to our brothers in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca
2022-04-23 15:30 - 17:30
Take a chance Lover, since it’s Take A Chance Day and Lover’s Day, and come out to bowl with us. You don’t have to be a bowler, you can join our ever increasing fan base. Even though it’s National Picnic Day, I’m saving that celebration for when we have more warmer weather. Also since it’s National Cherry Cheesecake Day, I’m sure we’ll go somewhere to eat afterwards.

Coffee With The Guys at The Beacon, 909 E. Douglas.
2022-04-26 09:00 - 10:00
Reserved. Don’t get your buns up in a knot although it is National Pretzel Day. I don’t care even if it is a man bun. Don’t get me wrong, I like buns, just like the next guy, but not on top of your head, well. Here’s another popular and iconic restaurant. They are so iconic, they even take reservations! You can view their menu at: www.wichitabyeb.com/2019/11/beacon-restaurant-wichita-classic.html. And since it’s Hug an Australian Day, here’s a shout out to our brothers in Australia. A shout out will have to do until we can actually hug you and your man buns.

Dining OUT at Angelo’s , 5900 E. Central, Suite 100
2022-04-28 18:30 - 20:00
I had a suggestion that we try this iconic Italian restaurant. However, they don’t do lunch during the week, only on Saturdays, and they don’t take reservations. So, whoever gets their first (like the people who suggested it) be sure to get there early and ask for a table for ten to twelve people, to start! You can see their menu at: www.angeloswichita.com/menu. It’s Kiss Your Mate Day, so I’m expecting a kiss. Well, no, it’s not necessary, as it’s all in a day’s work on National Superhero Day.

Guys Night OUT/ Final Friday at Rain, 518 E. Douglas
2022-04-29 19:00 - 22:00
Now for something completely different, on National Zipper Day, Tom S. suggested that we meet at Rain to begin a photo scavenger hunt of Art for Final Friday. He’ll have the list of what you need to take photos of. Then at 8:45 PM we’ll meet at J’s Lounge, 513 E. Central, and determine the winner. The prize will be epic bragging rights. And since it’s International Dance Day, here’ s a little video to watch: Dancing to Queen for the Queen: ww.facebook.com/watch/?v=345533164240876.

Celebrations at Fat Ernie’s, 2806 S. Hydraulic.
2022-05-05 18:30 - 20:00
I heard from ‘Lil Joe & Gary that Fat Ernie’s asked them when we were coming back. They don’t take reservations but asked that we call ahead to alert them of our arrival. We’ve been here before on Thursdays,when their daily specials is their All You Can Eat Chicken Fried Steak. But since it’s Cinco De Mayo, you can order anything from their menu: www.faterniesfamilydining.com/menus/#lunch-dinner.
