Please note that the Guest List is currently on private as not all members are comfortably out to the public.

March 12 – March 16 – LGBTTQ* Awareness Week!
During LGBTTQ* Week, we’ll be having various events going on! We’ll also be having an Rainbow Pride Mosaic Open house all week. Bring your friends, families, and introduce them to the group. Talk about your involvement and teach them things that they probably didn’t know about you! Make sure to come on by! Hot Chocolate and cookies will be served!

Here is what is going on!

Monday, March 12th – Blood Ban Campaign Talk
Want to know more about the Blood Ban? Come to this fantastic and informative presentation given by one of our members, Karleigh! (FANTABULOUS)

Tuesday, March 13th and Thursday, March 15th – LGBTTQ* Tables
Various Tables will be out in the University Centre! Rainbow Resource Centre will be tabling. We’re also trying to get Gio’s Cares, but we’ll let you know when it’s confirmed.

Wednesday, March 14th – Two-Spirit Talk by Lorne Olson
Want to know more on what it means to be Two-Spirit? Come on out to the Student Group Resource Centre at 12pm! Wraps, hot chocolate and coffee will be provided!

Thursday, March 15th – Drag Performance! @ 12pm
This event had been confirmed but then we had to switch the time because of Conference and Catering’s rules. I’m just waiting on a confirmation for the time change from the performers before it’s official… again.

Friday, March 16th – Buttons Bi You!
Want to learn how to make a button? Want to design your own? Come on by to the RPM! We’ll be making Buttons all day!

Friday, March 23rd – Sex Toy Party at 6:00pm
Stressed out that exams are coming up? We’re having another sex toy party! We’ll be collaborating with the Womyn’s Centre and the Aboriginal Students Association! Free food!

Monday March 12 – Friday March 16 – True Colours – GoSA Gallery Show
Come check out the GoSA Show that will be happening in the University Centre. Don’t know where or what the GoSA is? Well, here’s a little information about it!

The GoSA (Gallery of Student Art) is a non-profit and non-commercial student run gallery and exhibition space that is funded and supported by the University of Manitoba Students’ Union. Opportunities for exhibitions are open to all and applicants for solo, group, or curated shows are encouraged.

Movies will also be playing in the GoSA Gallery every day except for Wednesday at 12:00 pm. Here’s what we have planned!
Monday – After Stonewall (starts at 2 pm) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244955/
Tuesday – TransAmerica - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407265/
Thursday – Imagine Me & You - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421994/
Friday – A Prayer for Bobby - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1073510/

If you want anything else in March, please come speak to me!

What’s happening at the end of November?

November 28th, 2011

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
