February Events Continue

We enjoyed last weekend in Chestertown with their version of Mardi Gras celebrations.

The PFLAG/GSA "Umbrella Krewe" entry in the Chester Gras parade won Third Place!  The photo shows why….what a colorful bunch!  Thanks to all the participants who marched, cheered and encouraged our Mardi Gras Second Line Strut!  Thanks also to those who attended the Mardi Gras Dance on Saturday evening.

The February First Friday gathering of the “Umbrella Krewe” of the Gay Straight Alliance clubs also went well.  We had students and adults attending and 5 schools were represented.  They included: Gunston School, Kent County High School and Middle school, Chesapeake and Washington College.  Thanks everyone…more plans are in the works.  Mark your calendars now for First Fridays in Chestertown.  The generous hospitality of Bradley Lake will continue to give us all a “place to hang out together” from 5-7 pm on those dates. 

Next Tuesday February 17^th is our regular third Tuesday of the month meeting. (It also happens to be this year’s “Fat Tuesday” date.)  Our program for this meeting will be to view the 23 minute DVD “Faces and Facets of Transgender Experience.”  We also have new materials from PFLAG National to share about being a Transgender Ally.  We continue to offer time for socializing and support as a part of these gatherings.  This meeting will take place at UUCR 914 Gateway Drive in Chestertown at 7 pm. Hopefully our combined plans with other local groups and neighboring locations will be set soon!
