QAPA's PRIDE BBQ Fundraiser

Hello QAPA members!

Summer is just around the corner and you know what that means: PRIDE is upon us!

QAPA is proud to announce that this year is our first time ever registering as an independent organization, and as such, we are incurring the full registration fee so we can strike out on our own. 

We are hosting this BBQ in an effort to raise $500 for Pride. Your contribution will help us cover the cost of food, Pride registration, and materials used for marching. The BBQ will take place at the sprawling 13-acre Arsenal Park in Watertown. There will be ribs, steak, wings, hot dogs, vegetarian fare, and drinks. If you want to bring a special dish, please do, it is welcome but not required. Feel free to bring frisbees, balls, water guns, cards, board games -- we might even play a little capture the flag. Bring a partner, bring a friend, bring an ally, bring your mom -- everyone is welcome! (but don't bring your dog because the park doesn't allow it)

Please reserve your ticket ahead of time, $20 online / $25 at the door. 

Take this invite and FaceBook it, Tweet it, email it, post it on a message board --  JUST GET THE WORD OUT!

If you want to be involved with QAPA's participation in Pride, come to our upcoming Pride planning event June 5th (see listserv for details), or contact us (qapa@qapa.org) to let us know how you'd like to help!

Arsenal Park is accessible via the 70 Bus route which passes through Central Square, by the T station.

A Personal Note from the Steering Committee:

Representing QAPA in Pride this year is a huge undertaking which we are very proud and excited about. We hope that we can count on our members' continued support so that we can have an awesome showing in the parade and also keep on cranking out quality events and programs such as QAPA Connect and QAPA Speaks Out!. We are a volunteer-run organization and we rely on your generosity and participation to sustain operations. We can't do it without you!

With thanks and love, 

QAPA Steering
