Events that you could help create:

 

Summer Semester

One of RU12? Community Center’s first programs is back! Summer Semester offers the opportunity for LGBTQ community members to draw upon the skill, ability and knowledge of our talented peers with short series of classes throughout the summer. Potential classes to be offered include: Basic Car Maintainance, Yoga, Financial Planning, Photography, Zumba, Resume Writing, Home Ownership and more!

Family Bowling!

When you host a bowl-a-thon, you recruit people to bowl on a designated day for your special event. Each participating bowler solicits a flat rate pledge among neighbors, friends, and relatives. This could be a fun way to get families to engage in supporting RU12? as well as having a great event for families to enjoy together.

Grab a Bite with Friends

Help introduce the community to RU12? by working with your favorite local restaurants to host benefit nights.

 

 

House or Garden Party

Team up with a friend or neighbor to put together a fabulous event for your friends. Let them know how much you care about your community and ask them to support a organization you believe in.

Tee Off With RU12?

Hosting a golf tournament can be a high-profile, and often very lucrative fundraising event. A great advantage of hosting a tournament is the connections you make with local businesses and celebrities that support the RU12? Community Center. Plan a whole day event with lunch and prizes.

 

Pitch us your own idea!

Contact Kim Fountain: DCAT@ru12.org or 802-860-7812

 Make a Difference in Your Community 

Join the RU12? Community Center's Development Committee Action Team (DCAT). DCAT is designed to produce events aimed at fundraising and/or 'friendraising' for RU12?.

On January 29th, we will be hosting our first DCAT volunteer recruitment. This is not your ordinary volunteer opportunity. Whether you want to lead the organizing, participate in only one particular aspect of the organizing such as advertizing or outreach, or you only have time to show up at the event and help take care of logistics, we have the need for your time, energy, and commitment.

The recruitment session will introduce you to RU12's plans for 2012, outline the DCAT structure and present you with opportunities to get involved.

RU12? and VGSA Film/Discussion Series- The Times of Harvey Milk

RU12? and VGSA SECOND SUNDAY SCREENING -
Dec. 11th, 2pm     
Fletcher Free Library/Pickering Room, Burlington

A truly great documentary, The Times of Harvey Milk (1984) has exceeded its original category with the passage of time. It is now an archive, a political case study, urban geography, melodrama, and cathartic expiation, and has inspired both an opera and a theatrical feature, Gus Van Sant’s Milk (2008). The Times of Harvey Milk is a dazzling exemplar of that defunct technology 16 mm celluloid, the predigital choice for all alternative documentary and feature movements in America. With its astute roundup of news clips, archival materials, and original footage, and careful casting of veterans of the era for context, all orchestrated to capture the emotions of such signal events as the candlelight procession on the night of the assassinations and the White Night riots on the day of the verdicts, The Times of Harvey Milk has become a film that defies any expiration date. It is the rare documentary that speaks to our time, its own, and the intervening years with equal fluency.

A true twentieth-century trailblazer, Harvey Milk was an outspoken human rights activist and one of the first openly gay U.S. politicians elected to public office; even after his assassination in 1978, he continues to inspire disenfranchised people around the world. The Oscar-winning The Times of Harvey Milk, directed by Robert Epstein and produced by Richard Schmiechen, was as groundbreaking as its subject. One of the first feature documentaries to address gay life in America, it’s a work of advocacy itself, bringing Milk’s message of hope and equality to a wider audience. This exhilarating trove of original documentary material and archival footage is as much a vivid portrait of a time and place (San Francisco’s historic Castro District in the seventies) as a testament to the legacy of a political visionary.

RU12? and VGSA Second Sunday Screening is a cooperative effort of Vermont's LGBT and ally community. We gather to watch films about LGBT people and issues, and to share our thoughts and experiences.  Screenings are free and open to the public.  As the series' name suggests, screenings are held on the second Sunday of every month at the Fletcher Free Library in the Pickering Room. Film begins at 2pm, discussion to follow.

GLAMflixx: Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Weds 8PM)

GLAM Goes to the Art Hop

 

Friday, September 9 · 6:30pm - 10:00pm

Burlington's South End Art District

Burlington, Vermont

**Meet at 6:30PM at RU12? and travel over together**

http://seaba.com/

 

Join the Guys of GLAM as we support our fellow local artists at the Art Hop. The South End Art Hop is an annual event presented by the South End Arts and Business Association (SEABA) of Burlington, Vermont.

Artists join businesses, artist studios, and galleries, which in turn open their doors to the public throughout the post-industrial section of Burlington, known as the “South End”.

The principle behind the event is that of fusing culture and commerce, for which participating sites allow artists to showcase their work in non-traditional settings: offices, stores, restaurants, studios, etc. This promotes a mutually symbiotic relationship, by having businesses benefit from the increased foot traffic of art lovers, and artists benefit from exposure to customers who may not otherwise see their works in non-traditional display environments.

GLAMflixx: Kaboom, Wednesday August 10th, 8pm

 

GLAMflixx occurs on the second Wednesday of every month at The RU12? Community Center in Winooski at 8PM

This months movie: Kaboom

Writer and director Gregg Araki revisits the day-glo universe of sex, drugs, and random perversity that informed his early films in this over-the-top dark comedy. Smith (Thomas Dekker) is an 18-year-old film student who is bisexual and has a ravenous erotic appetite; his best friend is Stella (Haley Bennett), who prefers the company of women but is just as enthusiastic about pursuing new lovers. Smith has been haunted by a series of recurring dreams featuring two beautiful women, one dark and enigmatic, the other similarly spectral with flaming red hair. This wouldn't bother him, except that the women from his dreams have begun appearing in real life -- Lorelei (Roxane Mesquida), Stella's new partner, is a magic aficionado who's a dead ringer for the dark-haired woman, and the red-haired girl (Nicole LaLiberte) is being pursued by a gang of masked assassins. Has Smith stumbled into a plot with possible world-changing consequences? Or is this all just the product of some hallucinogenic cookies he was served at a party? Kaboom received its world premiere at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

For more information or to get involved in GLAM, call Jean-Denis or Mike at 802.860.7812 or email glam@ru12.org.

GLAMflix: Tarnation Wednesday, July 13th

GLAMflixx occurs on the second Wednesday of every month at The RU12? Community Center in Winooski at 8PM

This months movie: Tarnation

In the making since the director was 11-years-old and completed on a reported budget of about 200 dollars, Jonathan Caouette's Tarnation is an experimental and self-reflective mix of documentary and fiction. Bringing together a collection of home movies, family photos, answering machine messages, reenactments and Caouette's video diary, the film attempts to delve into the filmmaker's experiences growing up queer with a schizophrenic mother and dealing with her 2003 lithium overdose, which rendered her even more mentally unstable than before. After premiering at the 2003 New York Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, Tarnation screened as part of the Frontier program at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

GLAMflix: I Love You Phillip Morris

 

Wednesday, May 11 · 7:30pm - 10:30pm at the RU12? Community Center  

Are you a young gay, bi or queer guy looking to meet other guys? Join GLAM for it's monthly movie night. This month the group chose "I Love You Phillip Morris".

I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS is the improbable but true story of a spectacularly charismatic conman’s journey from small-town businessman to flamboyant white-collar criminal, who repeatedly finds himself in trouble with the law and on the lam, brilliantly escaping from the Texas prison system on four separate occasions – all in the name of love.

Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie (Leslie Mann), and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s gay and he’s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it. Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft-spoken man named Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another. Told with an uncanny sense of humor and a lot of heart, “I Love You Phillip Morris” is an oddball tale of what can happen when the legal system, a daredevil spirit and undying love collide.

The survey is anonymous. We have two free tickets to the Palace 9 for one of you for completing the short survey. After you're done, write 'Send me my monkey!' on GLAM's Facebook wall or send us your email via Facebook or by emailing glam@ru12.org. The winner will be notified May 5th- Good luck!

SEXY BRUNCH Sunday, 4/17

GLAM Gaymes Night

 

When: Wednesday, March 30 · 7:00pm - 10:00pm

Where: PCC (Upstairs from RU12? Community Center) 20 Winooski Falls Way, Winooski

You know you're a player... we wanna see your game!

Join other young guys who like guys for a night of smooth moves and extra-friendly competition. We've got some great games (like, Wii, Apples to Apples and Taboo) but feel free to bring any of your own too. We've got all your snacky dreams and desires covered, too. Just bring your game-face!

Meet up with us at RU12? (located in Suite 102) at 7pm and then we'll head over to PCC (in the Mill also) where they have a projector and more space. Join us for Core Group beforehand, too, at 6pm! We'll be planning more fun things to do and our new magazine.

If you are a young gay, bi or queer man and are interested in becoming involved with GLAM, email us at glam@ru12.org, facebook friend ushttp://www.facebook.com/GLAMvt or visit us online at www.glamvt.org
