Men
of Glenburton:
Overview:
"We celebrate the
things we have in common and respect each other's differences."
"Men of Glenburton"
is a men's (18 plus) community based organization with its primary
influence in the Glen Iris and Ashburton areas. It is founded on a
broad based set of values of help and care for other humans. Anglican,
Baptist Catholic and other faiths and belief systems are represented.
One's colour, race, religion, creed or status is no restriction to
participation.
Purpose:
"Develop
our skills so we can continually make a difference in our family, our
community and ourselves."
"Men generally talk
about what they do. They do not discuss their emotions, personal needs
or ask for help." The aim of the Men on Glenburton is to be supportive,
open up discussion, share skills and mentor each other. It will also
be outward looking and seeking opportunities to help men and others
in the community.
