MEMORANDUM FOR ALL MARRIAGES AND ENGAGEMENTS
CLASSIFICATION: TOP SECRET
IN RE: COUPLES’ SUMMIT 2011
MISSION: SEMPER FI
Date: Saturday, August 6, 2011
Time: 8:30AM – 8:00PM
High command forecasts continuing assaults on every side. The Enemy’s stratagem was substantially hindered as a result of the previous base command training stint. Therefore, all veteran platoons are to re-enlist and new units are to also come join the ranks. The purpose of the training is to provide and upgrade defenses against a number of the opposition’s key deceptions.
The cost of the training is $100.00 per couple if registered by July 15th, and $125.00 per couple thereafter. Base command needs your papers by July 25th, to ensure your security clearance. Scholarships based on availability, contact us if you are interested in contributing to the scholarship fund.
These are dangerous times, and this training is not for the faint of heart. Questions regarding this mission can be directed to Tyler Moore at lostbyuguy@gmail.com.
NOTE: Neither the United States Marine Corps nor any other component of the Department of Defense has approved, endorsed, or authorized this activity.

Further details coming next week!
Determined to have successful marriages — through faith, healing and understanding — Women of Worth seeks to help those individuals in opposite-gender relationships who’s partner struggles with same-gender attractions.
Little does the world know that there are many successful marriages between a man and a woman where one of the individuals in the relationship struggles with same-gender attraction. These relationships have trials specific to their situation but most of the issues that arise are the same as those in normal heterosexual relationships. This conference aims to strengthen ourselves, our marriages and our relationship with God.
