Willamette Valley ManKind Project
December 2021 Newsletter
An audio recording of this newsletter narrated by Area steward, Steve Newcomb.

Inspiration of the month
Here is an inspiring 15 min video on Elders for Climate Justice. Five years ago, a group of 5 MKP Elders, from New England, formed a mission focused I-Group to move the needle on the risks of climate change. Two more MKP brothers joined, 2 years later, including Jon Witte from our MKP Pacific NW Area.
