Greetings all,
We wanted to remind you of our Pot Luck dinner planned for Monday, April 21 at Alliance for Living from 6 to 8. Please email Alan with what you plan to bring so that we can minimize repeat dishes.
At our last meeting, we discussed three general areas of focus: social, education, and activism. Think about what areas or skills you'd be willing to share or upcoming events that may be of interest to others. We can always use a helping hand! Feel free to contact us at newlondonpf@gmail.com with any ideas and suggestions.
Here are a few ideas for social events we can discuss at the next meeting: wine tasting, movie & dinner, casino night, "taking over", backyard barbecue, museum visit, theater event at Connecticut College, and more! Please feel free to share your ideas.
Please spread the word about our next meeting. Attached is one of our flyers. Feel free to post it around town or wherever! This will be a great chance to get to know one another and have fun!!!
If you are GREEN, bring your own dinnerware.
The New London Peoples Forum (NLPF) is a fellowship of individuals related to and members of the GLBT community in Southeastern Connecticut.
