Men’s Club September 20th, 2026, Men’s Club Update

What a great summer with all the activities and people. Life here at Black Point is our little jewel on the CT coast. But things don’t end with the start of school and back to the work grind. Continue to join us for winter activities. The BP Mens’ Club has monthly activities. The BP Women’s Club has also stepped up with the return of the SetBack League and Friday Morning indoor Bocce. Stay in touch with your neighbors and join us!
