TMC Administration Notes - August/September 2008

Letter from the Chair

Greetings members and friends of the Twin Cities Men's Center. We are now in our 32nd year as a public service organization. We proudly and consistently provide nearly a dozen weekly support groups, anger management classes, Wednesday topical presentations, and an every other month publication. But we are unable to do this without your support.

Like any organization, we rely on our funding sources to maintain the service of our mission. You are our funding source. We do not receive any government grants or funding from private organizations. For many years we have been able to maintain our services based on membership fees, class or presentation fees, and special donations.

The financial health of the Men's Center is often a reflection of the general economy. We have seen a decline in some areas of donations. We are presently able to maintain without a reduction of services.

What you can do to help. Consider updating your membership, if you have not already done so. We continue to send out the Men Talk to people long after their memberships have expired. If possible, a special donation would go a long way in keeping the services we offer going strong.

In gratitude for your interest and support of the Twin Cities Men's Center,

Bobby Schauerhamer,
Board Chair

Some of these books have become so important in our members’ lives that they seem to have been out since I had hair. While we have no specific time limit, please consider if you are still using any Men’s Center books you now have, and return them to availability.
