These FREE dinners are designed to bring diverse groups of Manifest members, program facilitators, program participants, board members, and their friends together to talk about:

1. PERSONAL GOALS: Your personal wellness goals, challenges, & favorite activities;

2. COLLECTIVE VISIONS: Our collective ideas of the kinds of support, training, & community men really need in this changing economy;

3. NEXT STEPS: your next steps in achieving your personal goals, as well as in helping Manifest to fulfill our collective visions.

RSVP: Please RSVP by calling 503-223-8822 x2, and you can attend the whole series or any of the dinners that work with your schedule.

FOOD & BEVERAGE: We’ll provide a salad, vegetarian main course, and several delicious cold & hot beverages. Please feel free to bring food, desserts, or non-alcoholic beverages to share, if you’d like; although don’t feel any obligation to bring something. We aim to have abundance with people bringing only what they’d enjoy giving.

FALL PRIORITIES: Out of these Visioning Dinners, Manifest hopes the following crucial things will happen, and we invite you to invite friends who might be interested envisioning and building a much stronger men’s wellness community we can all rely on as we continue to age and face wellness challenges in an uncertain economy:

* NEW FRIENDS: You will meet several men who will powerfully support you in your personal wellness goals & favorite activities and expand the community of men you can really count on;

* NEW MEMBERS: 20 men will decide to become Manifest members or renew, thereby solidly expanding the network of support you can count on;

* NEW OUTREACH TEAM: serveral people decide to join & one person decides to lead Manifest’s Outreach/Marketing Team, thereby helping us to reach much more diverse men through in-person networking, facebook, twitter, & having a regular presence at allied community events, businesses, & organizations;

* NEW FINANCE/DEVELOLPMENT TEAM: a group of men decide to help our financial & development team track our finances & raise new money for men’s wellness from foundations, corporations, special events, & individual donors, and one man decides to become Manifest’s Treasurer;

* NEW MEMBERSHIP TEAM: Someone decides to become our Membership Secretary, and create a Membership Team to honor & inspire new & existing members through regular member events, mailings, e-newsletter, & enhanced membership benefits.

RSVP TODAY: Please invite at least one friend and call us today at 503-223-8822 x2 to let us know which Visioning dinner(s) you will attend.

THANK YOU for all you do to support men’s wellness & community. Together we are building the community we’ve always wanted and deserved. Thanks for joining us to further clarify our vision & powerful next steps.
