I would like to welcome the new Board members and Men’s Center members. 2005 was a year of transition at the Men’s Center. As some support groups matured and move on, new support groups such as the Transition Group and Healthy Sexual Boundaries emerged to address new social issues and concerns of the community.
The Annual Meeting on Saturday January 14, 2006 had a good attendance and participation. It is encouraging to see so many members voicing their experience and opinions. Such participation is always welcomed at the Men’s Center.
I would also like to acknowledge the Men’s Center office staff and volunteers—Randy G., Ray C. and Don J. The Men’s Center office organize and categorize the library, coordinate the Men’s Center presence at several events and conferences, and continually provide assistance as a resource to the community regarding men’s issues. The Men’s Center office staff is an integral part in the Men’s Center accomplishing its mission.
Another integral part is you—Men’s Center member, volunteers and facilitators. You are the reason why the Men’s Center has been a part of the community for the last thirty years. Your time, energy and skills is greatly appreciated and recognized.
As we start 2006, the Men’s Center will continue to work with our members and the community to address issues and concerns of men and the community at large.
Thank you for being a part of the Men’s Center, and I look forward to the exciting ventures for 2006.
Live long and prosper,
L. Dudley, Board Chair
