Professor Herrick will use video clips, handouts and discussion to help us understand them and how we can effectively respond to them. This is a seminar you won’t want to miss!   Click Here to make a donation to the Minnesota Family Council / Minnesota Family Institute. _______________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from our alerts, please return this message with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject line.
