The first Anchorage LGBTQA Town Hall in August was a resounding success.  Now it’s time for a second one!  Anchorage LGBTQA Town Hall 2 will be held Monday, October 3 at the A Street Event Hall.

Our purpose is community building & information sharing in the LGBTQA* community of Anchorage. Unlike our first meeting, we have no restrictions re: blogs/newsies writing about this meeting before, during, after.

The convenors for Town Hall 2 are Mel Green, Mary Elizabeth Rider, Maureen McGlone, Michael Mason, Doug Frank, Sara Gavit, Heather Aronno, John Aronno, and Marcia Barnes. Sara Gavit will facilitate the meeting.

On the agenda:

• An open forum.
• Introducing more of the groups and activities in our community, including: West High GSA, The Family at UAA, Grrlzlist, Bent Alaska, and a preview of Alaska Pride Conference 2011 to be held in mid-October.
• An update on the One Anchorage campaign from Trevor Storrs.
• Should we have more Town Halls? How often? What about? What would you want to discuss?
• Plus, an opportunity to connect & talk with each other.

We look forward to seeing you there!
