Adult Drop-In: The Pride Center is open every Saturday from 10am to 2pm for adult drop-in hours.
This is a time for those that are questioning, struggling, or just looking for someone to talk to about
the GLBT Community to feel welcome. We have Internet Resources, A Library of Books, Resource
Directories to helpful agencies, and much more. We hope to extend these hours as funds become
available to get staffing taken care of.

| Community Pride Garden: The Community Pride Garden is located next door to the Pride Center in the lot donated by GLBT Philanthropist Don Rowinsky. The goal of the garden is to promote a sense of pride, not only in the GLBT Community, but the neighborhood that surrounds it. The Pride Garden is still under construction and planting and any and all donations are appreciated. There is an artistic rendering of the Garden and more information on our Pride Garden Information Page. We hope to make this community garden a source of pride and outreach in the years to come. Any one looking to help with the Garden, should contact the Pride Center. Work begins again in March. |

available online, but will soon be used as an outreach in the community. We have currently been
seeking advertisers to mass produce our newsletter for distribution in the GLBT and Ally community
so that we can increase visibility and awareness. We are currently soliciting articles and events for
our calendar that is relevant to the GLBT Community. Go to our Newsletter page for more info.
