Clubs/Organizations
Who here belongs to some organization like the Elks,Moose,Knights of Columbus, Veterans,Shriners,American Legion etc?....Just wondering.
I recently joined the local Moose Lodge which is in walking distance so having some cheap drinks and I must say pretty good bar food makes it easy to "walk" home. 1,600 Lodges in 49 states, four Canadian provinces, and the United Kingdom. |

I was never a "joiner" of any kind of groups. My first wife wanted to join a summer bowling league, so I caved against my better judgement. I hated it. HAD TO GO, every Tuesday night, and spend those beautiful summer evenings in a freaking bowling alley.
A couple of lives ago my neighbors joined the Elks Club. It was ONLY for the cheap booze. I used to go as a guest and that was okay. But I hate clubs and those types of obligations. I used to enjoy bowling, get a bunch of friends together on a Saturday night and just have fun and not care about scores. But specific nights when I HAD to go, and everybody was obsessed over their scores? Nah. |

I belong to the Motorsports Country Club of Cincinnati (yes, that's a real thing). Does that count?
I'll occasionally hit up the local VFW when I feel like stepping back in time to hit an old smoke filled bar with cheap beer. |

A couple dog related clubs. I was treasurer of one for 15 years. You know what I’ve found? Everyone pisses and moans but they rarely step up to actually HELP.

I have been kicked out of many clubs over the years, my solitude is one thing I greatly cherish.
As mentioned before, in high school, to be an adversity to MADD, I formed DAMM, Drunks Against Mad Mothers. It did not go well, as the school's administration pointed out that me and the membership were all below the legal drinking age, which also killed my local chapter of The Budweiser Team, and The Jack Daniels Team. Eff them stiffies, we had meetings almost every Friday and Saturday night, off-campus of course. |

I'm past president of a local Jaycee chapter, 30 years ago.
I'm no longer very civic minded, I donate to select charities, but no longer participate in fund raising. Because I've seen where some of that $$$ went... 😈 |
