Report from the Center
Winter seems to be dragging on causing a continued quiet and lonely time of year here at the center. But we have still managed to keep busy! Thanks to recent generous donations, our library has a number of new books and DVD’s available to check out or enjoy at the center during regular hours.
Speaking of hours, they have changed just a little. Instead of being open on Thursday from 1:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., the center will be open during those same hours on a day earlier. The hours for the LGBT Resource Center are: Monday and Wednesday 1:30-6:00 p.m. and Saturday 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
After a brief hiatus the Rainbow Boutique has returned! Stickers, jewelry and other PRIDE items are available in exchange for making a donation to the center.
Spring is coming slowly but surely and with it many new and exciting volunteer opportunities at the center. We are looking for people interested in helping to staff the center between late July and mid-September when the new AmeriCorps member comes on. We also have several fundraisers planned from Brat Barns at Festival to a swanky signature event for Coming out Day. Be watching for more information or contact Lindsay at the center if you want to find out how to help.
Thanks to all of you who completed the survey in last month’s newsletter, If you didn’t get around to it, you still have time. Go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=UUhdSeQb5u7RMP_2bAWyvnMw_3d_3d and let us know what you’d like to see happen at your center! The suggestion that has gotten the greatest response was the idea of a book group. We would love to re-establish this type of a group and encourage anyone interested to get in touch with Lindsay at the center.
Pretty sure that’s it for now. As always, if you have ideas for things you’d like to see happen here let us know!!
Stay warm and think Spring!!
Lindsay, 7 Rivers LGBT Resource Center Coordinator
