Greetings!,
As you know if you've ever clicked over to the Social Notes website, Social Notes is a LOT more than just a calendar of events. For example, if you're looking for a new pet, the Pets page features wonderful animals who, through no fault of their own, deperately need new homes.
That page is the hardest one for me to write. All the stories are just heartbreaking, and I of course want to adopt every animal on the page. However, Bob (my deaf dog, featured at the right) has let me know in no uncertain terms that we do NOT need any more doggies around the house. In fact, given Bob's druthers, Andy would be gone too! Sooooo, adopting more animals is out for moi.
But if you have ANY spare room in your home, and in your heart, please visit the Pets Page on Social Notes. You and your new companion will be oh so glad you did!

Professional Womens' Happy Hour, featuring a fund-raiser for mayoral candidate Annise Parker
Wednesday, June 3rd, 7 to 10 pm
|
Join Houston's nicest and nicest looking women at this monthly get-together. Meteor is a swell bar - beautifully decorated, clean, very upscale.
And as a special bit of lagniappe this month, we're holding a fund-raiser for Annise Parker, who is running for mayor of Houston. You shouldn't vote for Annise just because she is gay (although there is THAT!). You should support and vote for Annise because she is a dedicated and accomplished public servant who will do a fabulous job of leading out city into the future! You can find out more about Annise, and her campaign, by visiting her website. Annise's campaign staff will be onsite throughout the evening, to answer questions (and to pick up your donation envelopes!) and Annise will give a short, informal talk around 8:30 pm.
Suggested minimum donation for this event is $25. Girls, I know times are tight, but here is a chance for you to impact the future of our city, and to support an extremely well-qualified GLBT candidate who has an excellent chance of becoming mayor of the 4th largest city in the US. Isn't that worth at least $25???? And if you can't make the happy hour, but want to make a contribution, you can do so on-line.
Note: I know it's hard to walk into a bar when you don't know anyone. Soooo, come find me, and I will introduce you around. The bartenders know who I am (oddly enough) and they'll point me out to you. It is my monthly mission in life to make sure that no one is standing all alone at our happy hours!!!
