Greetings!

Thanks to everyone who made The RED Party a HUGE success. We raised lots of money for Lancaster Pride and Alder Health Services and had a blast doing it! We hope you all had a great time!

Now through April 9th, if you purchase a dinner & show ticket to Sugar--"The Some Like It Hot" Musical at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre, Lancaster Pride will get a portion of the ticket price! For every $51 ticket, we get $23. All you need to do is mention the promo code PRIDE when ordering! The offer is valid on Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening shows. Call 898-1900 or order online at Dutch Apple.

The Lancaster Pride Youth Outreach has its own new facebook page. "Like" their page and keep up-to-date on all of their exciting upcoming happenings! Their next project is sponsoring a Highway Cleanup of the section of Rt. 23 that has been adopted by the Gays and Lesbians of Lancaster for over a decade. Come on out on Saturday April 9th from 10 AM to 1:00 PM and help make our community more beautiful! Email shannon.sheetz@gmail.com for meetup location.

On Friday April 15th from 6 PM to 7 PM in honor of the National Day of Silence, the Youth Outreach is holding a Silent Rave at Lancaster Square. This is a silent protest where all involved will be dancing to music in their headphones that is silent to all but the listener. Bring your MP3s and be ready to dance!

Our next monthly Pride Meeting is Wednesday April 20th from 7 PM to 8:30 PM at the Lancaster YWCA. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of every month and are open to the public. Join us as we get ready for 2011 Pride which will take place on Saturday June 18th. We have exciting fundraisers, events, dances, youth happenings, etc. in the works for the upcoming months. We need volunteers to help in all aspects of putting this year's Pride together. Come find out how you can get involved!

This is a free party for those 14 to 22 and refreshments will be provided. Note--this is a change in date from what was announced in the last newsletter.

The Lancaster Pride Youth Outreach will be hosting Bingo Night the fourth Monday of every month. The next one is scheduled for Monday April 25th from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Carmen & David's Creamery.
