Male Out has come and gone...

Male Out has been and was a total, total success! The Health In Our Hands stand was a bit out of the way unfortunately but none-the-less, Paul and John deemed it to be a successful day. We did receive a lot of attention from the public and lots of information was handed out as well. Brenda and Teena prepared lots of information packs and about a third of them were handed out. We also gave about 90% of the books we took down away to the public as well. We were pleased with the results and look forward to next year's Male Out.
