TMC Administration Notes - December/January 2006

Letter from the Chair

On behalf of the TCMC board of directors, I want to thank all of those who helped to make our 30th anniversary celebration a great success. It was wonderful to hear stories about the beginnings of the Men’s Center, as well as the marvelous testimonies of its positive impact on so many people’s lives. Even though we touch on the different activities of the Men’s center at each monthly board meeting, having so many men together to share their witness created a real sense of awe about all of the great things that are happening as a result of this organization’s existence. If you were not able to attend this wonderful event, be sure to make it to the 35th.

The Twin Cities Men’s Center Annual Meeting will be held on January 13, starting at 9:00 AM. All members are encouraged to attend. If you have ever pondered the idea of giving something back to the organization, please consider submitting your name as a board candidate. If you are not able to attend but wish to run for a seat, just leave your name at the office phone number, or by email. It’s a rewarding job working with a great group of guys, and new blood is always welcome.

There will be no annual planning meeting this year, but TCMC members are strongly encouraged to submit their ideas directly to the board via letter, email, or in person, at any time during the year. The January board meeting will be held on the 15th. All other meetings are held on the second Monday of each month and are open to all members. If you wish to reserve some time on the agenda, simply contact any board member.

2006 has included the beginnings of some good new programs and funding opportunities. Let’s continue the work to make 2007 our best year ever!

Len Zimney, Board Chair
