Men’s Cultural Alliance

On Nov. 15, 2012, a group of men gathered at the offices of Jewish Federation of Greater Naples (then named Jewish Federation of Collier County) to discuss the formation of a men’s group similar to the Women’s Cultural Alliance.

One month later, on Dec. 17 of that year, the very first MCA luncheon (originally designated as Men Enjoying Leisure) was held at Brio Italian Grille in Naples, attended by 60 men. It has been 11 years since that inaugural event and the organization’s membership now boasts more than 800 members.

From that singular luncheon has sprung dozens of activities, clubs and events that go on throughout the year. MCA’s diverse activities include golf, pickleball, birding, bocce ball and discussion groups that include book discussions, financial health, Israel, science, medical issues, travelogs and the highly regarded Brazina Documentary Film Series. MCA also offers trips and tours to view the many interesting places in and around the state of Florida.

The organization strives to be a good neighbor, with members volunteering at Habitat for Humanity and Meals of Hope. Members are always encouraged to start new groups and activities to meet the expanding interests of a growing membership.

MCA president Michael Sobol cordially invites men in the Greater Naples community to join MCA. Our weekly e-blast, sent to all members, includes information about the many activities MCA sponsors.

Men’s Cultural Alliance is an affinity group of Jewish Federation of Greater Naples.
