MEN JOIN TOGETHER CONFERENCE 2011 * RECAP

If you've missed the Men Join Together Conference 2011, don't fret, look forward to attending this exciting series of Men joining together to talk about their life experiences in 2012!  Recently, we attended the Men Join Together Conference 2011, which was hosted at North Park Branch Library in Evansville, Indiana. The theme was "Men Join Together: Which One Are You?" Are you a Filler, Watcher, Teacher, Seeker, or Messenger. The room filled quickly with people who wanted to be there. The seating was set in theater style, and a overhead screen mounted on the wall displayed pictures and biography's of all the men who would be speaking. The audience was a mixture of young and old from all walks of life. Although, the target was focused on men, there were women present, as well. Two women in particular served organic coffee and tea. There were a total of six African American men who poured out their hearts about their personal life experiences, and elaborated on the character that they felt best represented them. For instance, one gentlemen chose the Filler, and describe what a filler was from a football player's point of view. Another, describe himself as a Messenger, and shared biblical teachings to reach the audience. Whereas, one used a simple potato to describe life as a Teacher. The highlight of the event was expressed from the keynote speaker who traveled from Indianapolis, Indiana, to join this special group of men. He illustrated himself as being a Seeker and used a photo image of a maze to pin-point his walk through life. Other highlights of the event were the testimonies of men who had been diagnosed with illnesses, and others who suffered severe bodily injuries, a gunshot wound to the body, a severe head injury, and survivor of cancer. It was continuous testimonies greeted with applause from the audience. The evening ended with a special presentation of Certificates of Appreciation for "Men Mentoring Men," awarded to all of the guest speakers. The overall event was very professional, and extremely pleasant. After attending this wonderful event, everyone including the public was invited to attend a fellowship dinner at a local restaurant.
