[menscouncil] clarifying what the option could be for Alpha House cookout

[Pat Herbst]

We are asked to consider offering the opportunity to all men. It is
definitely not something that only the 9 of us are asked to do or that
would require any one of us to actually cook.

I see two things we can do. One is sharing the possibility with each of the
Men's Circles and if any are interested, connecting them with the Alpha
House team

The other is (pending on what we hear about grills at Alpha House) asking
if anybody would like to take the lead in doing a cookout at Alpha House in
June. Again, if there is interest we connect them, if not we don't. We
don't have to do it if there is no interest.

If any of us 9 was interested in taking the lead on this, we could
commission that person to take care of these operations, otherwise I can
just put together a survey and see who is interested.
