What to expect at Mainely Men Gatherings

Scroll down for what will eventually become complete workshop information, the weekend schedule, weather, and the weekend’s menu!

The theme for MM87 will be announced soon!

Workshop information will also be provided, but first…

Our pinky will be Matt Lee!

Pinkies run the weekend. They develop the theme, conduct opening and closing circles, and are the main go-to for whatever you might need while at a gathering. Pinkies are the faces and vibe of the weekend. Pinkies change with each gathering, and for MM87 we are fortunate that Matt will lead us.
