I have no problem with Guys/Gals getaway nights. They're a tradition
in my community. But the menu/events seem to be pretty stereotyped. If
this was targeting a younger crowd, I'd suspect they were being hip
and ironic, but I bet they're assuming this is exactly what will make
the retirees happy.

I bet it'll be a tea, and the women will be told to wear their
fanciest hats.
Or maybe a cards luncheon.

I'd email the club back, and mock-seriously caution them not to get
the strippers booked for each event mixed up. The ladies wouldn't like
that.
