"Grumpy Ol'
Men's Club"
While having a friendly game of cards in 1992 The Grumpy Ol' Men's Club (GOMC)
was started. There are only thirteen members, however any person who believes
in helping the community are members. Six of us are from the High School class
of 1969. We went our own ways from school and we came back together to enjoy
each others company.
We decided to help our local play ground with extra equipment that wasn't
in the budget. They needed a drinking fountain, picnic tables and sports bleachers.
We started fund raising with Chicken BBQ's, then went into our now annual
Clambake Pig Roast. The opportunity to take over the Carp Derby came 9 years
ago. Some of us had helped the derby for many years so it was ideal for us
to take it over.
We will donate to needy causes, especially for kids groups. These include
all Sports Boosters groups, a High School Award for a person going into the
field of Conservation, the local Red Cross chapter, Boy and Girl Scouts and
North Seneca Ambulance to name a few.
We are a non-profit organization and will continue for many years helping
the little local people.
