NEW RELATIONSHIP CLASS TO BEGIN IN FEBRUARY

At its September meeting the Men's Center Board of Directors approved a new venture launched in cooperation with the Chrysalis Women's Center. It will be a 6 session Relationship Class for men and women in a relationship, 4 of the classes for men only will be at The Men's Center taken at the same time the women are taking a similar class at Chrysalis.

The last 2 classes will be with the men and women together at Chysalis. Aaron Ridge who led a workshop on Relationships at last October's Men's Health Conference and a private practice psychologist at the Center for Relationship Therapy in Minneapolis,is our leader.

So if you are interested, talk to your female partner, women will register at Chrysalis, with the classes on a weekday evening yet to be determined beginning in February. Charge will be $10 per each class for a total of $60 for men and $60 for women, with no one turned away for lack of ability to pay. More details will follow in the Dec-Jan MEN TALK.
