Donors Needed

The Twin Cities Men's Center needs a few contributors to step forward to help us through the remaining months of 2011. Our investments to reach out to the therapy community and to support the PRIDE event were about $2,500 above our normal budget, which about equals the shortfall in contributions as compared to last year.
