[Men] Two Follow Up Items

[Gary Hamilton]

Hi all,

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.

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.

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.

I appeal to others of our group to assist Ted and contribute to the service.

Gary

Ted,

    Thanks very much for your thoughts on a men's FUUSM service.

     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.

      Ralph O and Mike B can help us with the production. We should have some videos & songs.

      Your February preference is duly noted.
