<br>
I commend Ted for taking the initiative to coordinate the requested Men's Group reflection on what the group means to us and support his effort.<br>
<br>
I just reviewed my reflection on the topic of what the Men's Group means to me at our June 2016 service given in the sanctuary and felt I described my personal feelings on the Men's Group quite well. As George suggests; I might offer some remembrances of Ron, and his role with the Men's Group, if it would enhance the overall program.<br>
<br>
In this era of Zoom, I'm unsure how the program is best coordinated - will it be live or pre-recorded? After personally experiencing a few computer and connectivity issues, I favor a pre-recorded presentation.<br>
<br>
I appeal to others of our group to assist Ted and contribute to the service.<br>
<br>

Ted,<br>
<br>
Thanks very much for your thoughts on a men's FUUSM service.<br>
<br>
I like your ideas. Perhaps Gary H can join yo in a tribute to Ron Tepley--Gary had a lot of interaction with him inside and outside FUUSM.<br>
<br>
Ralph O and Mike B can help us with the production. We should have some videos & songs.<br>
<br>
Your February preference is duly noted.<br>
<br>
<br>
