1. After consulting LB members, the September Leader Body meeting was canceled to provide a break. Many men were putting lots of energy into Oct NWTA prep, the Visioning initiative, and other MKP related activities. No LB Report was provided for the October 13th RT meeting. Dennis Mead-Shikaly represented the Leader Body at that meeting as Steve Odiorne was out-of-town.
2. A successful "Guts" practice workshop was held on September 18th at St. Anthony's. Dennis Mead-Shikaly supervised. Cost was $75 per person.
3. On September 26th, a briefing was held at St. Anthony's Hospital. Bruce Maxwell presented the Stanford ACT 1 & ACT 2 recommendations that were made to MKP-USA. Colorado was the first MKP community to be briefed on this latest road tour of Bruce's. 17 people attended. Bruce was impressed with the level of interest, questions, & discussion.
