by Mike Mahler

About 16 people attended the first planning meeting for 2011 Pride events on January 16.. The group was enthusiastic and a lot of groups and individuals were represented.

The group came up with the following list of events, with people signing up to volunteer.

Here are the 2011 events:

Saturday, June 11 - The 19th Annual Erie Gay News Family Pride Picnic will be at the Rotary Pavilion at Presque Isle

Saturday, Aug. 27 - March & Rally in Perry Square.

Additional projects include an LGBT contingent in the Millcreek 4th of July Parade (the 6th year for this taking place), a table at the Blues and Jazz Fest August 6-7 (3rd year for this) and possibly a candidates forum.

Among the fundraisers being considered for this year's Pride is a T-shirt listing sponsors, as well as a listing of 2011 LGBT events.

The next meeting is Sunday, February 6 at 2 PM at Tim Horton's, 209 E 12th St, Erie PA. All people interested in working for successful Pride events are welcome! This is open to all ages.
