A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Welcome! Welcome to our website and, if you are new to the area, welcome to New Canaan.
The New Canaan Men’s Club was founded in 1977 by a group of men who met regularly at the YMCA to play racquetball. While the Club has grown since then, providing friendship and fellowship to members remains a core mission of our Club. We meet on Friday mornings in Morrill Hall at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, but we are nonreligious, nonpartisan, as well as a non-profit community organization 501(c)(3). Each Friday meeting has a speaker covering interesting and timely topics that entertain, educate and inspire us.

111 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan, CT 06840
Toni Boucher
First Selectman of Wilton
Toni Boucher:
In 1955, five-year-old Toni Boucher left a dirt-floor farmhouse in war-torn Italy for America, arriving with no English and little more than hope. Her memoir, Stone Doll, traces her rise from that hardscrabble beginning to entrepreneur, philanthropist, and political leader in Connecticut state government. Today, Boucher remains a committed advocate for entrepreneurship and student opportunity. A UConn School of Business MBA alumna, she and her late husband, Bud, are the namesakes of UConn’s Boucher Management & Entrepreneurship Department. Her story is a powerful reminder that the American Dream is not only about individual achievement, but also about creating opportunity for others.
