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

[Bob Dinan]

Pat,

I think creating a survey to reach as many men as possible is the way to go.

I'll point out that June 24-25 is the end of the 5-day GA in Pittsburgh.
I'm hoping to be there, so I'm not likely to be around for this cookout.

Bob
