Our next Social will be a bowling event for TNC members and guests at Bowlero Lanes & Lounge at 4209 Coolidge Highway, South of 14 Mile Road on Saturday, 1.17.26 starting promptly at 3:45 pm (please arrive 15 minutes early). This will be a fun event for bowlers of all skill levels. We will even have prizes!
Escape the winter blues to socialize with some fun members and guests! We will bowl three games and will secure enough lanes to keep the games moving along. Stuffed pizza, chips and pretzels will be available onsite or, if you prefer, there are many restaurants in Troy and Royal Oak if people want to continue the fun after bowling at a restaurant.
Cost will be determined based on the number of people who sign up but will range from $13 – $15/per person, plus $3 for shoes if rental is required … so register early by sending a text to Karen at by 1.12.26 with the names and cell phone numbers of the people who will participate. We will be able to adjust our headcount up to 4 days prior to the event but after that, you are locked into your payment or the responsibility rests with you to find a replacement(s).
We look forward to seeing you there and sharing a wonderful time together … we encourage you to bring friends and family and share in the excitement.
March – The Whiffenpoofs
On 3.12.26 from 7 pm – 8:30 pm, a social event has been planned to see The Whiffenpoofs perform at Christ Church of Cranbrook. We are announcing this early as tickets will be limited.
The Yale Whiffenpoofs is a collegiate a cappella singing group at Yale University. Established in 1909, it is the oldest such group in the United States. Best known for “The Whiffenpoof Song”, the group is composed of 14 senior students who compete for admission in the spring of their junior year. Whiffenpoofs of 2026 are so excited to be returning to Michigan and Christ Church Cranbrook! Since their founding in 1909, the Whiffenpoofs have brought their diverse repertoire of vocal jazz, folk, pop, and Broadway hits to more than two hundred audiences each year across all 6 inhabited continents. In past years, the ‘Whiffs’ have sung for Presidents Obama, Bush (41 and 43), Clinton, and Reagan, and at venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center. They’ve even been featured on television shows such as “The Sing Off,” “The West Wing,” and “Glee.” We hope to see you there!
Various levels of tickets are available. Non-priority seating will be on a first come, first seated basis:
Priority Seating (you will be seated in the front rows of the church): $64.05
General Admission: $32.69
Student Tickets: $18.05
If interested, please buy your ticket(s) at this link:
Whiffenpoofs in Michigan. We will coordinate carpooling if interested closer to the date. Feel free to buy tickets for family and friends too as this social will be open to guests.
Once tickets are purchased, please text Karen G. to let her know you will be attending. In the text, please include your guest names.
This church is beautiful and the acoustics are fabulous. This should be a fabulous night! We cannot guarantee everyone will be seated together for this event but that really shouldn’t matter.
Here is a taste of what they sound like. The first clip is the current touring group and the others are from previous years:
