Mission


The mission of the North Atlanta Men’s Club (NAMC) is to be committed to Camaraderie and Community with dual objectives:
  • To develop friendships and have the best time of our lives
  • To give back to the community

Our membership is comprised of retired, semi-retired and currently employed members that are 55 years or older and are a resident of North Atlanta, defined in the By-Laws as North of Interstate 20 within the counties of Cobb, Cherokee, DeKalb, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett and Hall.


As stated in our By-Laws, The North Atlanta Men’s Club is a not-for-profit, non-political and non-sectarian social club.

History


NAMC was founded by Bernie Kranz in mid-2007 following his retirement at the age of 63 after a 39-year professional and corporate career. Bernie and his wife relocated to Atlanta in 2003 while he was working and still focused on his career. His wife became an active member in several North Atlanta clubs and organizations to get involved in the community and to develop new friendships.

Recognizing and admiring what his wife and her friends accomplished for the community and socially through their various organizations, after retiring he decided to explore more socialization and to re-engage in giving back to the community.


After several discussions with friends, he invited prospective members to the first General Meeting brunch at the end of September 2007, to share and discuss his vision and proposals for the club.  Late October, at the second General Meeting, the club framework was finalized.  Including Bernie, 21 men joined together to form NAMC.
