GLEE of Oregon - Gays, Lesbians, and Everyone Else (GLEE)

For many months, the ship was built with effort and care by determined hands.  It is now seaworthy.  This ship is a new social group for adult Gays, Lesbians, and Everyone Else [GLEE of Oregon] who supports our goals and way of life.

 

"GLEE of Oregon" offers many opportunities for meeting and socializing in a safe, supportive, non-threatening environment.  Our activities range from great conversations to day hikes to coastal adventures.  And much more.  

 

In addition to our social activities, we are a group with a big heart.  Our outreach committee is dedicated to serving the community through charitable activities and informational seminars.  We believe that the ties binding us together are strengthened through the giving of our time and effort.  Simply put, we care.     

 

But why "GLEE?" And why now? A group of friends felt the need for a broad-based organization, built on the principles of inclusivity and acceptance, that offered a safe harbor for like-minded people to meet and socialize. And frankly, there is no better time than the present to form friendships and find support in sometimes choppy, hostile waters.    

 

That said, "GLEE of Oregon" is not a dating group.  As you know, there are many other groups that offer such a venue.

 

For more information about us, please visit our website at:

 

www.gleeoforegon.org                 

 

In addition, we cordially invite you to our opening event, which will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2011 from 7:00 to 10:00 PM at the Southside Speakeasy in Salem, Oregon.  Food will be provided by GLEE.  There will also be a no-host bar. Please RSVP by responding to this e-mail no later than 10:00 P.M., Monday, June 13, 2011.   

 

The sun is shining.  The wind is blowing.  The water is blue. 

 

Let's set sail together......

 

.....On a voyage of mutual understanding and respect.....                  

 

Common ground lies ahead.

 

 

Welcome aboard.......

President, GLEE of Oregon
