If you’d like to join the Pride Center’s leadership team or find out what’s going on behind the scenes, come and check out our meetings. Our next event-planning committee meeting is right after the Breakfast Club at 1:30 pm on Sunday, August 9th and the board meeting begins whenever the event-planning meeting is over that same day (around 3 pm). For more information or to add an item to the agenda, please call Frankie at (928) 443-8520.

Calling All Artists!

Now that the Pride Center is looking so much snazzier, we’d like to freshen up the space even more with some new art on the walls. We’re looking for local artists, gay and straight, who want to display their artwork at the Center (we even have a locking cabinet for handmade jewelry or other small art pieces). We’ll rotate the art often and all of the pieces will be available for sale to the community with a 70/30 split of the proceeds between the artist and the Pride Center. To take advantage of this new opportunity to get your artwork seen and sold, please call Frankie at (928) 443-8520 for details.

Prescott HS GSA Gets Focused

The Prescott Pride Center would like to recognize the efforts of Prescott High School (PHS) students who participated in an organizational development meeting at the Pride Center this summer. Members of the PHS Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) worked together with Pride Center staff to create a formal mission and vision for their group. This important gathering helped the students clarify the purpose of their club and plan for some of their long-term goals. We applaud their efforts and congratulate the students who stepped up to take on a leadership role at such a young age. The skills these GLBT youth are developing now will be the skills that lead the GLBT movement into the future!

Relay Raises Over $60K

Building bridges with the general community is one of the best ways GLBT people can change hearts and minds. And that exactly what happened in last month’s Quad Cities Community Relay. Members of the “Over the Rainbow” team raised $445 for the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer. What a great way to increase GLBT visibility and work together for the best interests of the entire Prescott community! Congratulations, and thank you, to the entire team!
