Greetings!
THANK YOU! The Rainbow Center is in an unprecedented time of community support. We are so excited by the incredible response and turnout of community partners around both Pride Every Day and Out in the Park. I think this is going to be the biggest, queerest year yet! There is still a bit of time to join us with a booth at Out in the Park (OITP), deadline for submission is 7/1/11, however once the booth space is full we will not be able to accept any more applications. OITP will be held on Broadway between 9th St. and 11th St this year, we will be right in the middle of the festivities planned for the 10 days of Pride spotlighted in Pride Every Day. This will be a great location with lots of space for booths, a lovely park area for the stage, and a great easily accessible downtown location.
All of these great events are happening as a result of the wonderful partners and allies that have come together in celebration and support!
