RU12? Family Programming and Events Forum coming up this weekend!

We are moving ahead with plans to reinvigorate RU12?'s programming for LGBTQ families, but we'd like your input on how we can best serve you. As such, we invite you to attend an open forum hosted by the RU12? Community Center on Saturday, February 4 from 10:30am-12noon. 

(This will be last information-gathering session for Chittenden County families, with additional forums to be scheduled throughout February and March for other parts of the state.) 

In the past, RU12? has hosted regular family-related events, and we plan to hold at least 5 gatherings of a social, support and/or educational nature this year. Although we have lots of ideas for the future, we'd rather hear from you--what would be relevant? What would be helpful? What would be fun? 

With more LGBTQ families in Vermont than ever before, we need your help to determine our next steps. So please join us for a dialogue on 2/4; childcare and light refreshments will be provided. 

Saturday, February 4, 10:30am-12noon

 RU12? Community Center, Champlain Mill, 1st floor 

 

Questions, comments or RSVP to jean@ru12.org.. We look forward to seeing you!

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.

RU(n)12? at the Intervale on Sat 1/14

Facebook Event Page

After a two-week hiatus, I'd love to get back into the swing of things with any and all of you (as well as any well-behaved canine running buddies you care to bring along) this weekend. I'm inclined to suggest a flat(ter) route than Red Rocks due to a touchy Achilles on my part, but am enjoying the trail running. How about the Intervale?

So consider this your invite to join Tallulah and me on Saturday, Jan 14th at 10am, for an hour-ish run at the Intervale. Meet at the parking pull-off right after the road turns to dirt (just past the entrance to Gardener's Supply on Intervale Road in Burlington).

I'm open to route suggestions for future runs.

And as promised, the first bi-weekly RUn12? discussion question: Do you have a 2012 training goal? If so, what are you working towards? Respond to me, I'll compile your responses and share at the end of the week. (Your discussion question suggestions are also welcome!)

Hope you are are hale and healthy and happy in this crisp Vermont January!

Sincerely, 

Jean Sienkewicz

Notes from a donor...

Notes from a donor: As a member of the RU12? Community Center Staff, I experience first hand the positive change affected by our programs & services in the lives of LGBTQ and allied Vermonters. It’s rare that donors get a chance to witness the impact of each dollar spent on the vital programs offered by the center each day. I can see that financial contributions are crucial in maintaining the sustainability of the organization’s mission and how carefully each dollar is spent. I would love to show my support for RU12? by donating a large lump sum of money. Unfortunately my personal budget doesn’t reconcile with that wish, so I choose to donate a smaller amount each month. The Network for Good website allows me to determine a monthly donation that feels comfortable & won’t break my budget. They even send me an email 10 days before they charge my card so I keep track of my donations. I feel good about investing in my community and I know that Vermont is a better place because the RU12? Community Center thrives. Please join me in supporting a fantastic organization!

-Mike Bensel, HIV Prevention Program Coordinator

Domestic Violence Awareness Month Candlelight Vigil and Speakout tomorrow!

PLEASE join us!!!! RU12? and SafeSpace staff will be joining forces with Women Helping Battered Women, community members and survivors tomorrow, Thursday October 27, at 6:30pm to raise awareness about domestic violence at the DVAM Candlelight Vigil in front of Burlington’s City Hall on Church Street. This powerful event will then followed by WHBW's Speakout at the Lake & College’s Boardroom on the 2nd Floor. From WHBW's website: This year, Diana V. Perez, J.D., a part-time WHBW Legal Advocate, will facilitate the Speakout ceremony by promoting inspiration, empowerment and motivation to help participants work on areas of personal development. It will be a night of experimenting with sound and storytelling to elevate the spirit. Diana facilitates a weekly support group with men and women, and provides extensive knowledge and understanding in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which gives her a unique perspective on the brain, disease and the origins of anger, trauma, shock, fear, addiction and depression within the body. She also relates to circumstances of addiction, emotional imbalance and trauma, listens to others' stories with empathy and compassion, and will speak of her own personal struggles and transcending obstacles.

Domestice violence knows no boundaries--individuals of every race, class, age, religion, gender, sexual identity, education level and ability have been impacted in some way. This is an important way for those of us whose lives have been touched by the issue to come together, to stand in solidarity and educate our community. RU12?'s SafeSpace program provides support to GLBTQQ folks who have experienced DV (as well as SV, hate violence and discrimination). We will be there, and hope to see you there as well!

We need Volunteers! TDOR Meeting on Thursday Sept 29th 5PM

Transgender Day of Remembrance Planning Committee Meets Thursday September 29th, 5pm at the RU12? Community Center

The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) memorializes those who have been killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. This event occurs annually on November 20th as part of an international movement for awareness of transphobic violence. It is an opportunity to increase visibility in our community and show solidarity for our transgender friends, families, and neighbors. Join us in building awareness and community!

If you can’t make it to one of these dates or want to help in any other way, please contact angela@ru12.org or dawn@outrightvt.org.
