TMC Administration Notes - Aug/Sep 2002

Letter from the Chair

We are in the last half of the year 2002 and I wanted to extend a few Thank Yous: to Andy Mickel, Bill Dobbs, and Scott Benson for their work on Men Talk; James Quenzer on the Strategic Plan work; and the other board members for their contributions.

I heard that the GLBT PRIDE booth was great. It looked very professional. Great job Jerry Olson and John Rudd!!!

Thanks to all who helped out and stopped by the booth over the weekend.

Please check out the volunteer opportunity board when you stop by the offices to see where you can help out.

For Men, For All,
