We meet 6 times per year, ordinarily on the second Saturday of the odd months, on Zoom. These are business meetings that are open (as per Michigan Law), but we don't encourage newcomers to make the meetings of the council their first point of contact. Rather, the Men's Breakfast, happening on the first Saturday of each month at 8 AM Holiday's restaurant (or an email to the council to be added to our mailing list) is the recommended first point of contact for individuals who seek to connect us (This may be more than what you were asking but we have had the case of individuals who were directed by someone at the church office to come to our meetings).</div><div>4.
