Events Week of 10/16/2011

Hello, everybody!

Thanks to everyone who came out to “Milk” on Wednesday and to the Lambda Alliance 40th Anniversary Ball last night! Great events, you guys:) This week, we have these upcoming events:

^{Lambda Meeting-October 17th}

^{5:30 Adrinka Hall, Memorial Hall}

^{Our meeting Monday will be on genderqueer issues. What does it mean to be genderqueer? How is coming out as genderqueer different? What difficulties/issues do genderqueer people face? Come out and be ready to discuss!}

^{Ally Outreach Fair}

^{Monday, October 17th, Tate Plaza}

^{Ally Outreach are looking for organizations to actively promote a safer climate for LGBTQ students. One way that they would love to get you involved is through tabling at the Ally Outreach Fair ( which will be held on Monday October 17th at Tate Plaza). For more information on Ally Outreach, see here:} http://www.facebook.com/groups/272570365835/?ref=ts

^{Latest American Outcasts: Stories of Immigrants in Athens}

^{Monday, October 17th, MLC 245, 7:00pm-8:30 pm}

^{Link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=175656695848564}

^{The LGBTQ community is among the many groups that are targeted and treated unfairly under America’s laws. Immigrants are under attack right now and GLOBES stands in solidarity with them. We want to bring an end to all forms of discrimination. The Athens Immigrant Rights Coalition (AIRC) is coming to campus to raise awareness about Georgia’s recent Arizona copycat legislation (House Bill 87), as well as the federal Secure Communities program. These laws will lead to increased racial profiling and the criminalization and deportation of honest, working people, creating fear in the larger immigrant community. House Bill 87 and the Secure Communities program further enable a growing climate of ethnic and racial tension that creates divisions. Athens Immigrants Rights Coalition will share their stories and provide information about what you can do to help during this time. There will be free pizza.}

^{LaCage Meeting}

^{Monday, October 17th, 9:00 Flag Room of Memorial Hall Ballroom}

^{Thanks to everyone who came out last week to join our discussion with Rev. DuBois on non-violent action! The topic for this evening is “what is gender”? Also, the committee will discuss the goals for the year and give more details about LaCage. Yes, the meeting is late, but coffee and snacks will be provided:)} Also, LacCage is looking for an Event Manager, to “oversee event planning and communicate with the Lambda board on all event ideas and needs.” Think you’re interested? email uga.lacage@gmail.com
