2025 Annual Christmas Dinner

December 11, 2025

Join us December 11th, 2025 6-9 pm EST at the Knights of Columbus in Arlington, Ma for our Annual Christmas Dinner.

Speaker: Tony V

Tony V began his stand-up career in 1982 after wandering into Boston’s Comedy Connection while working as a case worker and pursuing a master’s in social work. His sharp, street-wise humor and genuine feel for the human condition quickly elevated him to national headliner status, earning him Showtime’s “Funniest Person in Massachusetts” in 1986 and leading to appearances on HBO, MTV, Comedy Central, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Tough Crowd, Seinfeld, and more. He became the voice and personality behind American Tourister’s iconic “gorilla” campaign, toured widely, and expanded into film with roles in State and Main, Celtic Pride, and One Crazy Summer. A favorite at corporate events and charity fundraisers, Tony has shared stages with legends ranging from Jay Leno and Adam Sandler to The Beach Boys and Joan Jett.

I am sincerely honored to serve as President this year.  It is my goal to increase membership and continue to carry out the decades-long Touchdown Club’s purpose and mission to promote the physical and social welfare of the youth of Arlington as well as to promote fellowship and sociability among the members.

During my stewardship, we hope to highlight our legacy through different media to grow membership and promote the proud fact that we are the only organization in Arlington that donates generously to all youth sports, all ages, both boys and girls…and has been for 80 years!

And we gather at our dinner meetings which are always very social and entertaining.  We take pride in our unique dinner-meeting format.  After all, we invite speakers from all over the world of Boston area sports, from Hall of Fame athletes, and nationally known journalists, to acclaimed sports coaching and media personalities.

We’d love for all of you to attend these fun evenings as often as you can, and bring friends!

Sincerely,
Paul Buckley, President, Arlington Touchdown Club
