 Special & Recurring ACTIVITIES AT A GLANCE NOTE: to return to this page it will be necessary to use your browser "back" arrow!!) Up Coming Special Event  Saturday, June 2, 2018 5:30pm - 9:00pm Dinner Monthly Pot Luck and Social - theme: Luau Entertainment Special for this event is the feature movie: "Stonewall Uprising" The theme this month will be our annual "Luau" - wear your grass skirts if you would like!! The Planning Committee has talked about diversity in our monthly social gathering, among the ideas has been a "Movie Night". So with that in mind we will launch the idea and see how it is received. Scheduled movie entertainment for those that wish to stay after dinner and dessert is the feature documentary "Stonewall Uprising". Synopsis: "It was the Rosa Parks moment," says one man. June 28, 1969: NYC police raid a Greenwich Village Mafia-run gay bar, The Stonewall Inn. For the first time, patrons refuse to be led into paddy wagons, setting off a 3-day riot that launches the Gay Rights Movement. Told by Stonewall patrons, reporters and the cop who led the raid, Stonewall Uprising recalls the bad old days when psychoanalysts equated homosexuality with mental illness and advised aversion therapy, and even lobotomies; public service announcements warned youngsters against predatory homosexuals; and police entrapment was rampant. At the height of this oppression, the cops raid Stonewall, triggering nights of pandemonium with tear gas, billy clubs and a small army of tactical police. The rest is history. (Karen Cooper, Director, Film Forum) The social evening will begin when the gate opens at 5:30, dinner is now served promptly at 6PM with brief announcements after dessert. Come out and get to know each other better - shame on you if you don't meet someone new or reacquaint with someone you haven't seen in ages tonight may be the night, we are after all social creatures aren't we!?!? We will be collecting the traditional participation fees tonight, $3.00 per person if bringing a dish that will serve at least 8 guys or $5.00 per person if no dish is shared. Main course items or deserts always popular. Birthday cake will be provided. Please, summer is back, care needs to be taken with keeping foods at proper temperatures, especially cold foods. When arriving at the hall, all foods must be "ready to serve", we no longer keep food in the ovens - all foods are delivered directly to the serving line so that dinner can begin promptly at 6PM! Our Monthly Pot Lucks and Socials are usually planned for a Member Guest Host to lead the event with Open Theme either chosen by the guest host or otherwise regularly planned.
