--=={ Celebration of Spirit }==--
Each and every one of us has a lot to be thankful for in our lives. We have friends, mentors, partners, and spouses, animal companions that we see every day or that have gone on to better places. This year at MFM we will, though our Spirituality Track has something special to remember those that are important to us. While not something that everyone has to participate in, this will give those that want to, a chance to remember the happy times. A chance to say thank you for those special influences in our lives. 2005 signifies the beginning a “Spirit Book” This book will contain pictures, stories, poetry or what ever special something you would like to add. We will have supplies to make a memory page at the Meet. For more details email spirituality@mephitfurmeet.net
