ABMen/NE - PRESIDENT CRAIG ERICKSON

My wife and I spent a week with other AB men and their wives working at Green Lake for a week. There were men from Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and the largest group (25) was from West Virginia. It opened my eyes to all that can be done through ABMen-USA. Some of the people were not going home after Green Lake, but going to Montana, Oklahoma, and into Central America to continue to aid those in need. Please include monetary support for ABMen-USA as well as our state group.

Membership (We Want You!) AND DONATIONS are NEEDED

ABMen/NE membership and donations to our funds are what sustains us. We currently have 55 members. We set our goal of having 150 members for 2017 (had 120 in 2016). Would you recruit just one person? X =current members are listed on the back plus a membership form. Thanks!
