Dear Friend of the Community Center,
The Center is pleased to share that Director of Education & Youth Services Louie Marven is being honored on Saturday, April 2nd, with the Wheeler Freedom Award, from Lebanon Valley College's LGBT student group Freedom Rings. The award, named in honor of Lebanon native James Wheeler, will be given at the group's annual Alumni Luncheon. It is given annually to a community member that Freedom Rings identifies as having contributed to LGBT advocacy and education on campus and in the larger community. Sincerely, LGBT Community Center |

| Author Reading and Book Signing |
The Center is hosting Dr. Glen Retief to read from his upcoming memoir The Jack Bank. The reading will be followed by a brief question and answer time with the author as well as a book signing. Join us at the Midtown Scholar in Harrisburg on Saturday, April 30, at 7pm.
Dr. Glen Retief is an Assistant Professor of Creative Nonfiction at Susquehanna University. He teaches courses in memoir, personal essay, creative nonfiction, and fiction. His memoir, The Jack Bank, is about growing up white and gay in apartheid South Africa, and is forthcoming from St. Martin's Press.
National Book Award-winning author Bob Shacochis calls Retief's novel "one of those books that you never forget and never stop talking about." Don't miss this event!
A suggested $5 donation will benefit the Center's youth programming, Common Roads. |
