Thanks everyone for keeping The Men's Center going. It is all the little things that makes things possible. So if you have an extra hour to help in the office, fold a Mentalk, clean up a counter, donate a dollar or if you're real ambitious become a facilitator, start a new group, coordinate a booth for an event and so on, please let us know.
We do have our Volunteer Opportunities board in our office entry way with various projects that we are looking for talented volunteers to complete. Please look at it the next time you stop by. Hope you have a pleasant rest of the summer and we will see you at our fall picnic on September 14.
For Men, For All,

Male Survivor: 10th International Conference
"Recognizing Strength and Resilience"
September 18-21, 2003
Radisson Hotel Metrodome
615 Washington Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN
Call 1-800-738-4181
A conference for mental health providers and others who work with or are interested in working with men and boys who have experienced sexual assault. This conference also offers workshops for male survivors, their partners and others interested in this topic. Dozens of seminars and workshops on such topics as: Navigating Intimacy After Childhood Abuse, Sexual Abuse in the Military, Spirituality in the Healing Process, Nurturing the Body with Mindful Movement, Beyond Betrayal: The Effects of Clergy Abuse, and many more.
Don't miss the Special Guest Speaker, Syl Jones. Rescuing Little Roundhead is both a heart wrenching and heart warming story about Roundhead's (Syl Jones) growing up as an African American child who was raped and then ridiculed by his peers. It is a story of maintaining one's dreams in the face of adversity with the love, support and encouragement of a few important people. He is a powerful example of the conference theme, "Recognizing Strength and Resilience."
