to Like!" (John

Breakfasts & Events
|
| Mark your calendars for the third Saturdays of the
months to come. Our breakfasts start at 7:30 am and end at 9:00
am to give you time with your families. Everyone agrees that these
breakfasts are designed by men for men and bring a combination of
valuable fellowship, interesting speakers and great food! |
| Breakfast still comes to you at the low low price of
$8.00 and we will have you out by 9:00 AM so you can enjoy the day
with your families. Many of you are using this occasion to bring a
colleague, a friend or a neighbor and this is great! It is always a
low key event to help reach out to others. |
| Because our normal breakfast would have been the
Saturday before Christmas in December we decided that would be a
conflict with all the other Christmas activities and therefore we will
not have a breakfast in December. Don't forget our retreat
coming up January 30 and 31st at Mission Springs. Breaking news is
that Roger Williams will be our leader for the retreat! |
| Extra! A peek at the future! Our Men's
Ministries group is putting together a trip to the "Shark's
Tank". March 28th. We are planning an afternoon and
evening at the HP Pavilion including the game, food and speakers.
More details to come in the next newsletters. Consider all your
sports fan friends, colleagues and put it on your calendar now. |
