I would assume that most of you are aware that the Era of MBWeekends has not ended entirely after 40 years. The new 2026 MBWs may not be exactly the same as before but they certainly will be close enough, since Craig Mandel will be co-leading most of them, and I will be assisting on some. MBW veterans John Quinn (johnquinn5652@gmail.com) and Frank Forsberg (forsbergfp@gmail.com) will be directing this new generation of MBWs, and I’m confident they will be successful – though it’s doubtful they will last for another 40 years!


The schedule is included in the most recent March-April edition

of the MOU Newsletter (see below), and please note

their new website (mbwbirds.net) and email address (MBWBirdsFrank@gmail.com). The 2026-27 schedule begins

in late April, with the opening of registration March 6.


The first generation of MBWeekends and MBWeeks may have come to an end, but, as John likes to call it, the "Never Ending Tour” lives on!
