Since our formation 16 years ago, our club has supported Stand Up Placer ’s efforts to serve survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking in Placer County.
We have participated in their fundraising events, subsidized holiday meals to safe-house occupants, coordinated clothing drives for the agency’s thrift store and, most recently, donated $887 to support the agency’s mission.
Marie Salers (right) presents a check for $887 to volunteer Marian Ames of Stand Up Placer.
Marie Salers, who spearheaded many of these events, expressed gratitude for the agency’s inclusivenesses to serve the LGBTQ community.
“The club has invited Stand Up Placer staff as speakers at club functions to educate our members of the agency’s mission, and encourage club members to promote their services to people they know outside of the club,” Marie said. “At times, the LGBTQ community is in need of these types of services and it is reassuring to know that LGBTQ referrals in Placer County are not denied when crisis intervention is needed.”
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.
