Description

Those of you with experience in coordinating social activities for groups, planning events, getting people involved AND who like to host parties, this committee is for you! The primary purpose of this group is to host social events and activities for our whole LGBT Community with the new opportunities after completion of our renovations. Events could include comedy shows, dinners, potlucks, dances, bonfires, holiday parties and more based on feedback from this important committee. Volunteers on the committee are encouraged to participate in the planning of regularly scheduled events, recruitment of additional volunteers, as well as provide feedback as what to offer in the new building.

You will be working with the Youth, Adult and Senior Services coordinators to create social events for our community. We would like a committee that reflects the range of interests, ages, races, genders, geography and orientations in our community.

Currently we desire increased participation in the following demographics:

• 20 something / Youth
• Cultural Diversity
• Men, Bisexual & Transgender Representation
