Not Straight Not Sure: Activities in the works for February
Here’s a message from Delaine Due
Two activities are brewing.
One--who wants to go sledding on Saturday or Sunday Feb 11-22nd? Mt Ashland.
Two--Rocky Horror Picture Show, possibly as a Spring "alternative prom." Cory, who has organized the Lambda Awards for several years, wants to work with NSNS to help put on a RHPS night, maybe at the Mobius space in Ashland (they have a floor that is easy to clean up). Our idea so far is to have a suggested donation and split the profit between NSNS and the Center.
Please give me feedback and ideas and volunteer to help make these things happen if you want it--in the words of Dr Frank n furter – “If you dream it, you can be it.”
Regular members-only meeting is Feb 13th at the office building, not my house. 7:00 – 9:00 PM.
