LAGLCC Fundraiser
July 29, 2009
Dear LAGLCC Member,

It is with great pleasure that we announce Sweet, the eco-friendly, lesbian travel company, as the LAGLCC's newest Corporate Partner. With a strong mission to offer top-of-the-line and environmentally friendly services to the lesbian community, Sweet embodies the values most admired by the LAGLCC. As Sweet continues to grow and experience success as a business, the LAGLCC looks forward to supporting that growth in any way possible.

One of Sweet's most exciting new ventures is its first cruise, which will be setting sail from New Orleans, Louisiana on November 8, 2009. This seven-day cruise (returning to New Orleans on November 15) offers a combination of relaxation, excitement and philanthropic opportunities for all those aboard. With stops in Mexico, Belize, and Honduras, there will be no shortage of adventures to be had, culture to be experienced, and, if you choose, volunteer work to be done.

As a valued LAGLCC member, we are thrilled to offer you the exciting opportunity to bid on a trip for two to join the Sweet team on their maiden voyage this fall. The auction will take place online beginning 07/29/09, and will close on 08/08/09 at 9:47am.  Click Here to access E-Bay

As always, we greatly appreciate your support of the LAGLCC and supporting allies.

Sincerely,

Randy Malmud            Anthony Vulin
