PRIDE CENTER CALL FOR GROUP LEADERS

In our never ending quest to grow The Pride
Center Community and to enhance the lives of more NJ LGBT residents we are
calling for Volunteer Group leaders to start new special interest groups at The
Pride Center.  Unfortunately, as a volunteer organization new groups often
don’t get started unless someone steps up to start it.  We will help
you.  Your group will be publicized on our E-News and listed on our web site
and in the newsletter.  Your meetings will be posted on our calendar on
the web site.  Your group will have a mailing address and a phone number
with live volunteers answering phones weekday evenings.  We’re open to
starting any group you’re interested in starting and here  are some
samples of groups we could start:

Americorps – Be the
pioneers in this popular program designed by former President Clinton. 
Make a difference in the communities around us.  Adopt a Highway or build
a park or be part of gay day at the animal shelter.

Dog People – Share your
dog issues with each other, swap resources for good doggie parks, visit nursing
homes, plan dog walks and doggie play dates.

Investment Group – learn
strategy of identifying worthwhile stock to invest in.  Meet others
interested in investing and forming an investment group.  Give yourself
the gift of savings and do it right with fellow investors. 
Day/time/instructor

Decorating – join the
trend.  Learn from others while sharing your ideas and resources. 
Together re-do the entrance lobby at The Pride Center!  . 
Day/time/instructor

Habitat for Humanity –
Put your handy work skills to good use.  Help others from the Pride Center re-do  a home for a
needy family.    Day/time/instructor

Theater Appreciation – Share

out a schedule of attending a few local professional and community theater

New PCNJ Group Forming - LGBT Activist Forum





The
purpose of this group will be to discuss, educate and inform ourselves
respecting issues that affect the happiness, safety and civil rights of LGBT
people in our immediate world and the world at large. The group will set its
own agenda for topics to be discussed and will plan occasional related
educational events for the Center community through guest speakers, panel
presentations and films. LGBT means YOU! This is intended to be an inclusive
group, drawing on the energy, inspiration and aspirations of all ages, genders
and orientations. Contact: David Rogoff pcnjrogoff at aol.com.
