Tell Us What Would You Like To Do
Have you
ever wondered if there is someone else who is looking for others who
are interested in doing some of the things you like to do? In recent
conversations, we have become aware of GLBT people who are interested
in the following activities: hiking where you can take your dog, beach
volleyball, and soccer. Interested in one of these activities?
Something else you would like to do? Please send in your area of
interest and your contact information to the Volunteer Coordinator. We will accumulate the information and put people who share similar
interests in touch with each other. This is an easy way to get
involved in your Center.
A piece of history: Are you aware that people coming together through
shared interests is how the South Bay Center got its start? At a
women’s tea hosted by a lesbian couple, suggestion/sign up sheets were
made available, like the idea mentioned above. If someone took the
ball and ran with it, the idea was implemented. The question was
asked if there were others who would be interested in starting
something in the South Bay. Ten women signed the interest sheet, and
the seed was planted for what is now the South Bay Center. See what
getting a few people together with similar interests and goals can
create. |
