Rainbow Pride Mosaic

Good morning, afternoon, evening, night everyone! (It’s your pick!)

How was everyone’s weekend? I just want to thank everyone who came out and participated in our Holiday Party! The baked goods were awesome! I apologized for anyone who had to eat my baked goods. Eek!

So what’s happening this week you may ask?

Every Monday @ 2pm: Toba Cola! (Manitoba’s Coming Out, Living After).
We are jump starting Toba COLA again. For those who don’t know, Toba COLA is a discussion group! This week, we’ll be talking about:

1) Coming Out To Your Family During Winter Break
and
2) Queer Issues in Schools

If you have any topics you’d like to see, please come see me and we can make it happen!

Also just a reminder, UMSU’s Annual Charity Ball is happening on December 7th! It is a masquerade theme! For more information, please click here:

If you are going, please remember to show me your ticket so that I may enter you into a draw!

Other than that, please have yourself a fantastic week! Keep it positive and don’t let anything bring you down!

I’m walkin’ my hedgehog and breaking out in dances,
David

Canadian Blood Services is offering an opportunity to attend a presentation on our men who have had sex with another man (MSM) policy. This presentation is in response to student interest and peaceful protests during our mobile blood donor clinics on campus. The presentation will give students a chance to learn more about our MSM policy, ask questions and share feedback. Our Director of Public Relations, Lorna Tessier, is flying in from Ottawa for this presentation. Bonnie Monteith our Regional Manager of Public Affairs for Western Canada is also travelling from Calgary to participate. Where: University of Manitoba, University Centre (Churchill and Boissevain Rooms) #543 and 544 When: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 Time: 2:00pm-3:00pm We invite you to attend.
