Monday Night in Westerbork

Coming Out Monologues

• The Coming Out Monologues are fast approaching so PLEASE write some monologues for us!
• We only have five and really want this to be an outstanding event during our Pride Week!
• You can write a monologue from when you came out to yourself, your parents, your best friend, your brother, your aunt, your teacher, ANYONE! Also you don't have to be LGBTQI to write one, you can be an ally too!!!
• So please, really write a monologue.

Coffee House/Globetrotters Updates

• Thank you to everyone who helped out with both events! A special thanks to Brie and Sara for being co-chairs of our Coffee House! They were both highly successful!
• We raised 1200 dollars from the Globetrotters game!
• The Coffee House went really well. We raised a little over 100 dollars for the Invisible Children and over 80 for Chris and Stacey. Thank you so much to everyone who donated for such great causes!!!

Update on Directors

• We had the on campus interviews with prospective directors over spring break.
• Each candidate is highly qualified and we are very excited to be able to hire one of these great people! We are so fortunate to have a great pool of people to choose from!
• We are hoping to have a decision by the end of the week, but this is not definite.

Love Makes a Family

• The Family Diversity Project is a group of 20 photos of the LGBTQI community and includes their stories. This is a project that will be in the CSD Center all throughout April.
• The grand opening will be April 7^th at 5pm in the CSD.
• Classes can be held in the Center so more people are exposed to this exhibit. Ask your professors if your class can be held there, and have them e-mail Danielle (dwhite5@towson.edu) if they are interested!
