Something “Just for the guys” The SarahCare Men’s Club

We know that men sometimes have different interests than the ladies and enjoy spending time with other guys. That’s why we created the SarahCare Men’s Club – so our male participants can bond over games of trivia, euchre or pinochle. The Men’s Club outings include activities such as a Rubber Ducks or Charge game, or maybe a classic car show.

The Men’s Club meets daily from 10am to 2pm and is led by our friend Bob Boyer. He encourages everyone to take part in discussions about current events, share stories from your time in the military, or relive great memories from your childhood. Each day brings something new for our guys. Did you watch the Browns and Buckeyes over the weekend? Hang out with your friends and discuss the up and downs of your favorite team, watch a classic movie or sporting event.

The SarahCare Men’s Club has something for everyone. Join us –

you’ll have a great time!

From the Kitchen - 5 Minute Reindeer Peppermint Crunch

1/2 pkg white almond bark 1/2 pkg mint Oreos - crumbled White peppermint M&Ms Red and green sprinkles Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch microwavable pan with parchment paper. Add almond bark on top of parchment paper and melt for one minute. Stir.

Microwave for another 30 seconds. Spread evenly with a spatula. Add crumbled Oreos to melted chocolate, saving some to sprinkle on top. Spread the mixture flat again. Add M&Ms on top of Oreos, followed by red and green sprinkles. Put pan into the refrigerator until the bark hardens, about 30 minutes. Pull out parchment paper and break into pieces. Plate and serve. Recipe is easily doubled.

Super easy and YUMMY!
