WHAT: Men developing camaraderie and a social network through participation in a variety of tasks and challenges.

HOW: We will meet up to chat and pick tasks, challenges, competitions to complete. For instance, we might task each member to write one sentence about their life each day for fourteen days. At the next session, members share what they completed. We might challenge everyone to pick one health related behavior and do that for two weeks, reporting back to the group. The competition will obviously be arm wrestling. Group members will be encouraged to plan and participate in mutually beneficial outings.

Three ways to mark the day...

8:30 am Join us on a Guided Bird Walk at Tawas Point
Park. We will meet at the Feeding Station near the

Tawas Point in Michigan is a premier birding destination, especially in May during the spring migration when many species stop to rest and refuel along the shoreline. It is known as an Important Bird Area due to its location, making it a hot spot for viewing a variety of migrating birds, including songbirds, raptors, and shorebirds. Visitors can also find birding hotspots in the surrounding areas, such as Tuttle Marsh, Iargo Springs, and Lumberman's Monument.

11 am Join us for one or two presentations at the
Tawas Senior Center at 312 Newman St. East Tawas
• 11 am, Nick Theisen, from Huron Pines will present "Piping
Plover Recovery in 2025". Learn what is happening in
your community and how you can help with the
recovery efforts.
