New chapter, new club! Our Book Club is back Saturday, September 19 at 5pm, and this round we are reading Monstrilio by Gerardo Samano Cordova. Grab a copy, dig in, then come talk it out with us over refreshments. Copies are at your local library and in person at The Velvet Spine, the new independent bookstore we are proud to call a partner in reading. Support local, read local, see you on the 19th.

Still glowing from this one! ✨

Last month you packed the DoubleTree, put on your best, and turned our second annual Sip, Sashay & Support into a night for the books.

Queens who brought down the house, tips flying toward the stage, a dance floor that stayed full, and a whole room of people who show up for this community. Every drink, every dollar, every cheer goes right back into the work we do all year long. And of course, we have to mention our incredible photographer who makes us all look spectacular.

To our performers, our sponsors, our volunteers, and everyone who grabbed a ticket, thank you. You are the reason a small center does big things. 💜

Swipe through, then start counting down, because year three is going to be even bigger.
