Aloha! Come join the River City Gems for a taste of
the Islands!
On July 26th, the Gems will be hosting a Hawaiian Luau
Party -- and you're invited. The party will feature a succulent tri-tip
barbeque and a pot luck dinner. Enjoy the festive sounds of island
music, sip a Mai Tai or a Pina Colada at the bar, take a dip in the
pool, and party the night away with friends old and new. If you're
feeling playful, how about joining in a game of musical beach towels or
entering the hula hoop competition? There will be fun and prizes
galore! Or maybe you'd rather just relax in a lounge chair with a big
piece of coconut cream pie. We'll have something for everyone at the
Gems Luau Party, so mark your calendar now!
Barbecued tri-tip, teriyaki chicken, and
beverages will be provided. Please bring an island-themed dish for the
pot luck. Not sure what to bring? No problem! Just ask us for a list of
suggested pot luck items. Island attire is welcome but not required.
Don't forget your bathing suit if you want to go for a swim!
July 26th is just around the corner, so get ready to
hula on over and dance your "grass" off with the River City Gems!
$5 door fee for non-members. No fee for members and
first-time guests.
Please RSVP Marla at activities

rivercitygems.org for details and
to confirm your place. Don't forget your grass skirt!!

Fantasia Fair is a week-long transgender event held every October in
the GLBT resort town of Provincetown, Massachusetts.
It attracts people from the entire range of the GLBTI community.
Crossdressers, transsexuals, intersex individuals, M2Fs, F2Ms, and
their significant others are all welcome. The Fair is a
“full immersion” experience, meaning that attendees can, and usually
do,
spend an entire week living 24/7 presenting their gender as they wish.
Fantasia Fair started in 1975, “FanFair” is the oldest and
longest-running gathering of transgender persons for mutual education,
support, collaboration and socializing. For more details and to
