A Brotherhood of Experienced Men

The Senior Men's Club of Wilmington is for men 55 years and older and is about fellowship. We've been bringing men together since 1988 — that's 37 years of friendship, learning, and community.

Every Friday, men from all walks of life come together to enjoy coffee, conversation, and compelling speakers. No pressure, no politics, no sales pitches — just genuine connection with like-minded individuals.

What Our Members Say

From the Wilmington StarNews feature article

"
It's kinda cool. It's an hour on Friday, and there's no politics, no religion, no one's selling anything. It's just a speaker to talk about things, get together to have coffee and maybe go to lunch after.
Jim Morrow Club President
"
These gentlemen are the best-of-the-best with whom I have been associated, and I have been in a few clubs in my lifetime.
Bill Bryan Longtime Member
"
For some reason, our club has been blessed by the best of speakers even though we are just a bunch of old men who have a hard time hearing.
Bill Bryan On the club's speaker program
