2023-06-30 19:00 - 22:00
J’s is a favorite little bar where everybody knows your name, including the police. Just kidding. Remember when we used to worry about that? Now when we run into the police at J’s or any other gay bar, the police are there for a good time; the good kind of fun now. It may be Social Media Day, bring your phone out and join us.
And here’s a little something to inspire you, remember when? Kurt and Carlton – The Man That I Love: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnVnmmCu5jg.

Reserved
If Spear’s was into making cookies or ice cream, they would be celebrating National Gingersnap Cookie Day and National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day, but they don’t. So, we’ll just have to settle for all of their other delicious food. You can order off of their menu or from their buffet. You can see the menu at: spearsrestaurant.com/files/2015/11/spears-breakfast.pdf

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca.
2023-07-01 16:00 - 18:00
New Time
It may be International Joke Day, but this is no joke. Seneca Bowl will hosting Special Olympics bowling from 2 PM to 4 PM every Saturday in July. However, after they leave, there will be open bowling.
So, I’m changing the time to 4 PM. You’re still invited to bowl or watch. And since it’s International Chicken Wing Day, we’ll probably go somewhere to eat afterwards.

Fourth of July CookOUT & Pool Party at Mike & Joe's , 921 N. Bebe.
2023-07-04 11:00 - 15:00
This is our annual celebration. This is when Mike & Joe turn their backyard into a summer resort. Much like Memorial Day, bring what you would like grilled, and a side dish or dessert to share, something that doesn’t melt in the hot summer sun as we’ll be outside. There will be outdoor games like wolleyball in the pool where the object of the game is to keep the ball in the air and inside the pool. Then there’s also Fetch, the object of that game is where somebody has to fetch the balls that didn’t stay up in the air nor inside the pool area. Be sure to bring your own swim suit and towel. There are bathing suits available from our Ugliest Bathing Suit contest where you have to change into the ugliest bathing suit, in front of everyone, while standing on one foot. There will be other yard games. Later we’ll retire to inside the house for cards and TV. Then, we’ll talk about where we can go to watch the fireworks that night.

It’s National Fried Chicken Day, but you can order other foods from their menu: spearsrestaurant.com/files/2015/11/spears-lunch-dinner.pdf. However, I think the real reason we’re going back to Spear’s is for their free slice of pie.

Picnic In The Park at Sim Park, 2020 West Murdock
2023-07-14 11:30 - 13:00
I always thought that Sim Park was a park in Sim City, but no, this is real and not virtual. We’re celebrating National Picnic Month and World Kebab Day. It’s also National Nude Day, so be careful and watch where you poke that thing. Shish! We’re going to have to improve our logistics and actually bring a grill so we can grill kebabs or whatever else. And maybe the goats will still be there. Sim Park has always been a type of petting zoo; heavy petting, if you know what I mean.

Potluck/Business Meeting at Hilltop Manor Clubhouse, 1411 S. Oliver

2023-07-18 09:00 - 11:00
Tom S. suggested that we tour Rise Farms which is on the roof of the old Fidelity Bank. I thought it would be a perfect match to have coffee at Botanic, the elevated plant shop and coffee bar. We don’t need reservations for Botanic, so whoever gets there first grab a table for six to eight people. You can see their menu at: www.growgiesenplantshop.com/coffee-menu.
Then at 11 AM we’re going to tour Rise Farms on top of the building to see their amazing garden in the middle of old downtown. Parking is available in the public parking lot or on the street.

It may be National Junk Food Day, but you won’t find that here. What you will find is good home cooked meals. Just see their menu at: www.yelp.com/menu/beacon-restaurant-wichita. They don’t take reservations and they get real busy real fast, so get there early and whoever gets there first, please ask for a table for eight and we’ll see how many more if we need after that.

CookOUT & Pool Party at Mike & Joe's. 921 N. Bebe.
2023-07-22 17:00 - 19:00
With holidays like National Hammock Day and National Mango Day, how can we not have a cookout and pool party? Like on the 4th, bring something that you would like grilled and a side dish or dessert to share. Remember it’s also National Ice Cream month. Then, after the allotted time, 15 minutes or 15 seconds, depending upon your source, we’ll get into the pool for a little ball action. No, I wasn’t saying anything about your balls; never mind, just get here to eat and have a good time.

Yes, they are a little pricey, but no more so than some of the other places we have been. It’s National Chicken Finger Day, and you’ll find Chicken Tenders on the menu. You will find other items as well, see their men at: thegreenstcc.com/?page_id=7.

On International Day of Friendship and Share A Hug Day, we’re going to watch videos at Sparky’s.
