Fellowship • Friendship • Community
Join over 100 active members who gather weekly for meaningful connections, engaging speakers, and genuine camaraderie. No politics, no religion, no sales pitches — just good company.
A brotherhood of experienced men building lasting friendships
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.

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
