BBQ Luau Party!
Saturday, July 26, 2008
6:00-11:00pm

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

Fantasia Fair
Sunday, October 19 through Sunday October 26, 2008
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 register, please go to the official Fantasia Fair website by clicking on the link below.
