Greetings!
 Gosh, June is a busy busy month for Houston's gay community! Northwest Corner News will keep you In The Know about all the swell Pride-related events coming up this month.
Speaking of Pride-related events, we hope you're planning to walk with us in the Pride Parade. It's a unique way to experience the parade, it's a lot of fun, and it's a great way for us to promote our organization! For more info, check out the article in this edition of NWC News.
And finally, the community excitement for the Astros Pride In The Park event is really growing. Northwest Corner has over 60 people signed up to sit together, and room for even more! What a hoot! Even if you're not crazy about baseball, this is going to be a ton of fun. Note: If you want to wear one of our stylish NWC baseball caps at the event, you must place your order by Sunday, June 6th. The article below will give you all the links for ordering caps and tickets.

NWC Walks in the
2010 Houston Pride Parade
With Grand Marshal Carol Wyatt
Saturday, June 26th
|
|
 One of Northwest Corner's founding members, Carol Wyatt, is the Female Grand Marshal for this year's Pride Parade. Carol is inviting her Northwest Corner friends (decked out in NWC shirts) to carry the banner that precedes her convertible in the parade, and to throw special NWC goodies out to the crowd.
This is a great way for us to introduce our organization to the 150,000 people who will line the streets of Westheimer for the fabulous night-time parade. We'll be throwing out special glow-in-the-dark rubber bracelets with the NWC website address embossed on them.
We'll have more details as we get closer to the Parade, but we need you to sign up now to walk with Carol and NWC.

Pride In The Park with the Astros:
GLBT Recognition Night
Saturday, July 10th at 6 pm |
|  UPDATE: Our master calendar website is now set up to give you ticket purchase links, plus the ability to purchase Hospitality Area passes and NWC ball caps.
For the first time ever, the Houston Astros are honoring their GLBT fans with a special Pride In
The Park Day on July 10th. The 'Stros will play their fierce rivals, the Louis Cardinals - should be a great game! The Gay Men's Chorus and the Bayou City
Women's Chorus will be performing the national anthem. Very cool!
Northwest Corner will be attending as a group. Tickets are $32 for lower level seats along the left field
line, and $10 of that will go to GLBT charities. Over 60 of us have already committed to sit in the NWC area, so it should be QUITE the party!
 Northwest Corner will also have a private refreshment area, just behind our
seats in Section 109. Participation in this part of the evening is
optional. The area, which will be open 2 hours before the game through the 7th inning for our
partying pleasure, features a private cash bar, and complementary hot
dogs, chips and popcorn. Tickets for the refreshment area are $13 for
singles and $21 for couples. When you register for this event via our master calendar, you'll be offered the option to purchase tickets for the Hospitality Area.
Many of us are planning to wear our stylish NWC ball caps to the game. You can join in the fun by ordering your cap for the modest price of $10 when you register for the event. The deadline for ordering a cap is June 6th.
Note: We've placed this event on the master NWC calendar, and will be using that site (instead of Evite) to provide future updates for this event. If you RSVP'd via Evite, you're ok, but please click on this link to get information on purchasing tickets, ordering a cap and reserving your spot for the hospitality area.
