[menscouncil] Men's Breakfast 2024 questions

[Bob Dinan]

Kenji,

I’m very sorry to hear about your mother’s decline. It’s wonderful that
you’re able to be there with her. Thank you for initiating a handoff of the
monthly breakfast.

Thank you, Bill, for offering to help. I suggest we discuss this at the
January 13 men’s council call.

Bill, can you attend the January 6 men’s breakfast? Then we can decide how
to handle these going forward.

Bob
