About Us
The Lavender Friends Club is a group of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and those in friendship who reside in beautiful Sun City Lincoln Hills, California.
Our primary goal is to create, and sponsor social gatherings and events that will appeal to the broad base of our members who enjoy getting together with others and sharing quality time and their experiences. Equally important is our goal of supporting one another and offering service to our community.
We believe that strong communities begin with solid relationships and our primary purpose is to build a greater sense of community through social interaction, open communication and shared information.
Sun Senior News
September 2023
By Joan Lacktis
Lavender Friends has reached 100 members, with two more quickly following! Sometimes people are surprised to find such a large LGBTQ population living in a suburban senior community, but we move here for the same reasons as everyone else — amenities, proximity to the mountains and the city, and a supportive environment as we age.
Top scorer Simon Vu tries for another strike.
We are primarily a social club and having a large number of members means we can always find a group for an activity that someone suggests. Activities can be something simple, like trying out a new restaurant or winery. But recently we had enough interested members and guests to qualify for a free shuttle bus to Red Hawk Resort & Casino in Placerville to enjoy an afternoon of bowling, gambling and dining in their award-winning buffet.
Our members are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents, as well as allies who support our goals of providing activities, information and support to one another in a safe and comfortable environment.
Some upcoming events include an ice cream social to celebrate our 100th mile-stone (and then some) and a dinner to honor the military veterans among us (we have all the branches of service covered).
