December 14 Annual Holiday Party. Come and Celebrate with GLAAS.
Both events will be at the SaddleBrooke One Activity Center from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
GLAAS stands for Gays Lesbians and Allies at SaddleBrooke. Its mission is to use the “power of community and camaraderie to celebrate the lives of gays, lesbians and their allies.” You do not have to be gay or lesbian to be a member of GLAAS. Many of our members are allies, who have gay and lesbian friends and family. And some of our allies have not known any lesbian or gay people until recently but are interested in being supportive. GLAAS usually meets on the third Friday of the month.
