Hi, PFLAGers....

Remember, our next informal coffee is this Saturday, September 11, at 11 AM at the Hastings Blue Moon.  Hoping to see many of you there.

The AIDSWalk is the next day, at the Hastings College student center on 9th street, with registration beginning at noon and the walk at 1 PM.   It would be fabulous to have PFLAGers participating.

We had a conference call about the October conference yesterday, and they are still interested in offering home-stays for people driving in on Friday night, October 22.  Some of you had volunteered space when the conference was scheduled for March, and if you're still willing to host someone, please let me know.  We won't know until after registrations begin just how many might want to take advantage of that opportunity, but it would be good to know how many spaces we're able to offer before the requests begin to come in.
