Speaker 2: definan some camaraderie. Just ask these guys and endover.

97
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 6: It's not a roller coaster, a nail bider, or a thriller.

98
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 6: It's not even in the same zip code as those things.

99
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 6: But the Dome Men's Club at the Endover Senior Center

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 6: feels a vital hole.

101
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 7: So the do Men's Club sole purpose is to come

102

108
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 7: The staff has been saying, you know what, what happens?

109
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 7: You know, why is it all of a sudden gaining

110
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 7: so much traction? And really we're not sure.

111
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 6: They think it's spread by word of mouth. I sat

112
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 6: in on a circle when the guys were talking about travel.

113
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,240
