NOTE FROM THE E.D.
Hey Everyone,
I know it's been a long time since I sent a letter or note or anything out to ya'll. The reason is that I've been INSANELY busy. It's OK because it's a result of The Center doing fabulous. There are so many activities and this month is chocked full. I want to let ya'll know to remember the special events this month like... The Ben & Jerry's Benefit for The Purple Hand Queer Youth Leadership Summit (Thx B&J!), The Real Life, Real Talk Sex Ed Class for Parents, The HRC Gala Dinner where The Center will be receiving The Organization Equality Award and The Purple Hand Queer Youth Leadership Summit!
Also if you haven't become a donor of The Center go to
http://www.findmycenter.com/funding.html and make your choice of support. We need your support to be able to keep giving back to you... it's like The Circle of Life in The Lion King except you don't have to eat grass or an antelope.
Enjoy your Fall Season and see you at The Center.... A Place to Call Home
Blue
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
