This initial interest-gathering meeting will take place at ODC-The Berkshire Building at 1443 Water St. in Stevens Point from 5:00-6:00pm.
If you have questions regarding this meeting, please reach out to Anna Morehouse at 715-818-6445 or email her at amorehouse@odcinc.com for more information.

WHY we think this is important for our community:

Most men have learned from our culture that they don’t talk about feelings and emotions many do not take an interest in their own health and well-being. Becoming a member of a Men’s Shed provides a safe and busy environment where men can find many of these things in an atmosphere of old-fashioned friendship. And, importantly, there is no pressure. Men can just come and have a chat or dig in and work on a project.
