ONGOING GLOW EVENTS

MONDAY, OCTOBER 22 – SAPPHIC MONDAYS

After Coming Out Week, we’re winding down with calming tea and not-so-calming board games. So come on out and we’ll all have some social fun.

Sapphic Mondays is a casual get-together of queer women and transpeople.  All individuals are welcome as long as they are queer-positive and female-positive.  The aim of the group is to provide an opportunity for women and transpeople to meet each other, make new friends, enjoy casual conversation and have an all-around good time!
