This month we will be taking ourselves out to ball game when we go see the Potters play on June 25. Our group event tickets include all-you-can-eat hamburgers and hot dogs with beverages available for purchase.

Our annual all-members mixer is planned for July 11. This year we are moving to the Orchard Creek Ballroom to beat the heat, but it will be the same mix of good food, catching up with friends, and hopefully making new ones — along with games or other entertainment. Watch the Weekly for details.

June is recognized as Gay Pride month throughout the world as we celebrate the rights gained over the past 50 years. Placer County’s celebration was held in May in Roseville to avoid competition with larger events in Sacramento and elsewhere. The Lavender Friends Club was invited to judge the booths. Such fun! And there’s still time to plan an outing to Sacramento June 14-15 for their parade and festival.

Lavender Friends is a club for LGBTQ residents and their allies.
