Honoring our Founders
September
In September 2009, a group of LGBTQ residents here took the courageous first steps and filed an application to become an officially recognized club here at Sun City Lincoln Hills. Fifteen years later, we will honor the 16 founders who are still a vital part of Lavender Friends with a potluck dinner and ice cream social.

No more closets. In September 2009, a group of LGBTQ residents here took the courageous first steps and filed an application to become an officially recognized club here at Lincoln Hills.
They weren’t sure they would be welcomed or well-received by other residents and at first club leaders didn’t want to post their names publicly for fear of backlash. Well, they needn’t have worried. We have grown from that first small group to around 100 members who feel welcome everywhere.
We Hula dance, square dance and play pickleball. We preside over other clubs here and participate in the wider community through leadership in things like the Lincoln Hills Foundation and the Restoration Advisory Board for the cleanup of the former Titan 1-A missile facility.
We are planning to honor our roots with a hybrid potluck — the meat will be provided — and ice cream social on September 28 (our 16 remaining original members will be our guests). Club members, watch the Weekly to see how to RSVP and other details. You will not want to miss it.
Lavender Friends is a club for LGBTQ residents and their allies.
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.
