AMEN Events
AMEN hosts a number of events throughout the year with everyone coming together for member-wide dinners that are held in the fall and spring. AMEN also supports Bellarmine and the Mothers' Guild by volunteering at Back to School night, the Mother-Son Event and the In and Out Dinner, as well as, providing mentorship to parents with sons entering colleges that they have first hand experience with.
