Just in Time - Grand Opening of the Freehold Men's Club
Through a well coordinated effort by many of the Freehold Elders, the old decrepit Landover Theater has been converted in to a private mens club. Forty-eight hours, 100 men working round the clock guided by Jesus's skillful hands (he is such a fine carpenter-Is there nothing he cannot do?) accomplished the task. 
I am sure this comes as a surprise to many but I assure you this was not just a spur of the moment decision. Late last summer, during a golf game with Zeke, Rev. Jim, Bobby-Joe, Pastor Peters, Bob4God and a few others, we were lamenting that there was not a location downtown where men could meet and talk without the cackling of women, children underfoot and undesirables smelling the place up.
A search of town hall records (thanks to Wide-Open for arranging this) showed the Theater lease was set to expire on March 12th. We had the fire inspector in at midnight (thanks to Ofc. Don for the late night donuts) to condemn the place. The city then bequeathed it to the Church and the the wise Pastors decided the property was not needed as it was right next door to a downtown outreach mini-mall Church and Bible store. They sold it to the Freehold Men's Association(r) for a dollar.
Spearheaded by Jesus, all the menfolk set to work. Rev. Jim was fantastic at rebuking curious onlookers, enabling the rest of us to complete the task. We can have up to 1,000 members in attendance, food is being supplied by the Landover Westin. The interior is all mahogany and fine wool carpeting, with leather seating made from unblemished caged baby calves. "Simply Sumptuous" were the words of one of the workers who will not be admitted to the club.
Now, we all know about other clubs and the lawsuits brought by women and minorities. We want everyone to know, we will not discriminate. We will allow nigras in to serve drinks in the billiard room. There will be women working in the dining room, hat check room and as private mens room attendants.
So, for those that did not know about this off shoot of Project Habukkak, I apologize but we wanted to surprise everyone with the gift of camaraderie.
Membership Chairman, Rev. Osborne will be approving applications as well as processing the related fees. As always, if you have to ask about the fees, then maybe this is not the right club for you.
If you are interested in joining, you must be sponsored by at least three members. Once submitted, non-refundable fees paid, a vote will be held during the monthly meeting of members. You will be billed for the cost of the evening. If you are voted in by 100% of the membership, a review of your Tithing and Church attendance by you and your family (parents, siblings, and other relations) will be reviewed. Again, no one will be discriminated against based on gender, race or religious affiliation. Rest assured our joo
lawyers have reviewed everything and in Mecham's words, "the contract, it is kosher".
Lastly, to showcase the new club, I have submitted a letter to the town voting director to request that the voting for the entire town takes place in the club.
