Men’s Club
The Black Point Men’s Club is a volunteer men’s group hoping to enhance the neighborhood feel within the Black Point Beach Club Association. Our events are structured to Build Community, Have Fun and Enjoy Black Point. Although we are a men’s organization, many of our events are open to all Black Point residents and their guests.
Being community based we try to give back to the community. In the past, funds have been used to build the bocce court and to purchase the large screen TV plus part of the sound system for the clubhouse.
Information on the BP Men’s Club activities is available through e-mail updates to our members. Please become an active member! Others can find information in the seasonal Black Pointer and the Black Point Men’s Club tab on the Black Point Beach Club website. Also see
