GLOW Discussion Groups Running Throughout Spring Term!

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

The GLOW Wednesday Night Discussion Groups are indeed running each and every Wednesday throughout the Spring 2006 Term (May 2006 – August 2006)- with the exception of Wednesday August 30th!

GLOW hosts three distinct discussion groups on a rotating basis (details of each group at the end of this message):

- The Coming-Out Discussion Group;
- The Heart-to-Heart Discussion Group; and
- The Diversity Discussion Group.

All three groups meet at the same location, room 373/378 (these are interconnecting rooms) of the Hagey Hall of the Humanities at the University of Waterloo on Wednesday evenings from 7:15 pm to 8:30 pm.

The Wednesday Night Discussion Groups are open to all members of the local queer community and their allies (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Transsexual, Two-Spirited, Intersexed, Queer, Questioning and Heterosexuals too!).
