CIRCLE OF HONOR

The Men’s Newcomers Club has thrived since its founding in 1996 growing from 13 then to almost 300 current members. More than 1,000 men have come through the club in those 24 years, many of them making significant contributions to the camaraderie and fellowship that are the Club’s hallmarks.  In 2019 we created the Circle of Honor to recognize those members whose service and leadership have been extraordinary.
