[menscouncil] Vision 2050 inquiry

[Pat Herbst]

Hello Beth
Here are the answers to your questions
1) This year, I am the chair of the council. My phone number is
734-213-5438. The chair as well as all other positions are renewed annually
in January.
2) The Vision Area or Priority that best fits your group: B (Community)
3) Your meeting schedule. 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).
4. Any updates you would like to share
Our annual Men's Dinner is planned for Saturday April 22 at 5:30 in the
Social Hall
