Articles From Our November, 2008 Newsletter
Dear PFLAG Family,
It has been another busy month for your Board members. Out in Westport included a surprise visit by Brooke Smith and her partner from PFLAG National office. The first “In the Mix” networking gathering took place along with the Midwest Alternative Family Alliance fall picnic, among other events that I was unable to attend. I want to thank the members who represented PFLAG at these events. We are continuing to receive requests for speakers or panelists around the community.
As October is the start of our new year and was the annual election of Officers, I thank you for the opportunity to serve as your President and for all of you who renewed your memberships in your local Chapter. I also want to thank all of the other Board Members and Officers who were elected. The annual Treasurer’s report is available for anyone who would like to view it. Please contact me at our contact page or call 913-894-5748 to request a copy.
As noted elsewhere in this newsletter, PFLAG-KC was nominated for and was the Zoey Award recipient for Best Outreach in Kansas City. The Zoey Awards are given annually. Ballots for these are distributed around the community and represent a cross section of the LGBT community. A complete list of Zoey Award winners can be found at Campkc.com.
November will bring representatives from MAFA (Midwest Alternative Families Alliance). December will bring our annual holiday potluck lunch. January will bring representatives from Passages youth group. If you have an idea for a program or speaker, please contact any Board member.
Please remember to vote on November 2 if not before!
I look forward to seeing all of you at the November meeting.
Thank you for all that you do within our organization and our community as a whole!
