Black Point Mens’ Club 2022
Get ready to Build Community, Have Fun & Enjoy Black Point.
There are approximately 580 households in Black Point. We have a variety of events for all but only a small portion of our homes have Mens’ Club Members. We need your input and participation. Three things we ask: 1.) If not a member, please join us. It is a deal, only $25 for a ton of fun! 2.) If you are a member, ask a neighbor to join. 3.) Be active and be at our events and help build community. There are a lot of interesting people who you could meet, so join us.
