About me: One of the main goals or values of the EKU PRIDE Alliance is to reach out to glbtq students/faculty on and around Eastern Kentucky University's campus, then create a safe and accepting place for the collective to congregate. As a group we come up with new ways to make the campus more accepting and nurturing for our peers, and also educate ourselves on glbtq culture and ways of bettering ourselves as individuals.

Who I'd like to meet: EKU's Pride Alliance would like to make friends with anyone no matter what their sexual orientation is. A lot of people get the idea that a Pride Alliance is just for people that aren't heterosexual but to be a true Alliance you have to have members of all sexual orientations. Everyone working together is the key of making a growing understanding for everyone in the community.
I'm emailing Meg the information on what the Cultural Center, Office of Multicultural Student Affairs and Women and Gender Studies has planned for National Coming Out Day. I hope you will want to be involved. ;)
SAVE THE DATE! 2008 - A Revolutionary Evening of Dinner and Dance September 20th, 2008
JustFundKY enjoyed a massive success with Kate Clinton’s performance at the Singletary Center back in October 2007. The event netted more than $100,000; however, do you think the group will take a rest? Absolutely not! JustFundKY has committed itself to bringing you quality annual events guaranteed to provide sheer entertainment. And don’t forget that the money you spend on each event is not just entertainment expenditure but is going directly toward a noble cause: the creation of the first umbrella fund designed to give financial backing to LGBT advocacy groups. Superb entertainment and a charitable donation…How can you beat that?
This year JustFundKY has already assembled a flawless team of organizers to create a revolutionary night of dinners and dancing. September 20th will see 60 concurrent dinner parties taking place around the city of Lexington. Each dinner will offer its own theme, menu, and adventure. The best part is that paying for a seat at one of these dinner parties will gain you access to the night’s shining feature: a spectacular dance party!
At the conclusion of each dinner party, the participants will come together at the Bluegrass Dance Hall overlooking Phoenix Park for a dancing experience like no other. The experience will showcase musical fun for savvy dancers and wallflowers alike. JustFundKY expects over 1,000 people to show up at the dance, which means if you’re not there, you’re obviously square (no offense to self-proclaimed squares).
So, keep an open eye for upcoming announcements and mark your calendars for a revolutionary night of dinners and dancing!
