I found a group in NY.
I'm in Michigan. When it comes to him, I'd be better off in Minnesota :-)
If there isn't one in the state, that's cool. Since I joined facebook, I am connecting with like minded people, a little at a time.

Well, I work full time and will have to give it some thought. I can't speak for every person in Michigan but around here, many lost interest after Purple Rain. Unfortunately the locals expected him to keep cranking out the same thing.

I hope you enjoy yourself. The fees sound reasonable and it's always fun to socialize with people who share your common interests.
My husband golfs so we are members of a country club. He is charged a certain amount a month in the restaurant so we eat there once or twice a month. I go to social events and holiday brunches.

Gentile commonly means 'non-Jew'.
The club was a restrictive Jewish country club...occasionally lifting that requirement for open membership.
Restrictive clubs aren't new...and still exist today. They're not billed as 'restrictive', but they're out there.
Columbian Country Club: Here in Dallas it was defined as Jewish membership only. Just recently as 2000, the membership #s were dropping & eventually in 2006 they had to close down the Country Club. It's now re-branded as a golf club where $$$$ is the barrier.
Augusta National:
1975: first year a Black man was able to play the course.
1990: first year an Africian-American was granted club membership.
Tiger Woods first played at Augusta in 1997. Only eight years earlier....THE Tiger Woods would've been able to play at Augusta, but if he wanted to become a member? Forget it.
Augusta and women members? Only recently as 2012, they finally let women in.
Exactly. The club she belongs to was originally formed to be a club for Jewish members only, most likely in response to the overwhelming number of clubs which excluded them throughout the 20th C, that, I understood. I'm still not sure why the need to mention it in this thread.

Same here. Not something I am interested in but it sounds like there are lots of fun activities to do.

I live in a land of clubs. All based on whatever your interest is. Husband plays golf, so the country club is automatic. Have fun. The rates you're quoting are very reasonable, so go for it!!
