Please join us for the October Rainbow Cafe on the second Saturday, October 10, 1:00-3:00 pm in the Murray Meeting Room. Come celebrate The Great Gay Halloween with us by coming in costume and also be ready to discuss learning about voter registration. We will also talk about how the Great Gay Holiday became a time when LGBTQIA2S+ community could
more freely dress, party, love, and be their authentic selves. All Queer+ people and allies are welcome and encouraged to dress up for Halloween!

A REMINDER that The Rainbow Cafe is intended to be a safe space for LGBTQIA2S+ people.

During the month of September, the new leadership team for Rainbow Coalition has been working together well.
