Spring is here and things are warming up! While you are out and about at the Saturday Boise Farmer’s Market, stop by The Center between 10am and Noon to check out our new location. Check out the free LGBT lending library. Bring your laptop and access our intranet to view our movie and TV show media server and e-book server.
Thanks to a grant from the Pride Foundation the foyer has the first rendition of the history archive project: a photo tribute to the Add The Words efforts. You can also see the phone booth from Stuckey’s (the first gay bar in Boise) as well as other iconic mementos. Thanks also to Rick Ramos, Judy Cross and Alan Virta for their efforts to make this possible.
There are no special events schedule this month but there are the current monthly meetings of various local organizations:
Need a supportive place to worship? Come meet the friendly crowd of Liberating Spirit every Sunday from 11am to 1pm.
Into Steampunk? Check out the monthly Steampunk Shindig on May 9th from 7pm to 9pm.
Looking for an LGBT youth group (20 and under)? Youth Alliance for Diversity meets every Sunday from 4 to 6pm.
Tri-States Transgender support group meets on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays from 7pm to 9pm.
Allies Linked for the Prevention of HIV and AIDS (a.l.p.h.a.) does free 15 minute HIV tests (no needles or blood!) every Saturday from Noon to 2pm.
Currently The Center is open to the public from 10am to Noon on Saturdays as well. We are looking for reliable, friendly, responsible volunteers to keep office hours throughout the rest of the week. Let us know if you are interested! Call us at 208-336-3870, email rick@tccidaho.org, or just stop by and check us out from 10am to Noon on Saturday!
