Spread the news! We're going big in 2016 with a fabulous Mid-Winter Gathering in central Texas!
Our hosts this
year are the Friends from South Central Yearly Meeting, who send the
following minute from their annual sessions held in April of 2015: "South Central Yearly Meeting joyously invites Friends for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,
and Queer Concerns to hold its next Midwinter Gathering in our region.
We look forward to supporting you spiritually and emotionally, and
offering whatever logistical support we can."
The dates are January 15 to 18, 2016. Plan to arrive for dinner on the 15th.
The location is at URJ Greene Family Camp in Bruceville, TX. (The closest major city is Waco, TX.) Check out Greene's website here: http://greene.urjcamps.org
The best airports will
be Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin. Waco is a small regional airport, but
there are deals to be had that could route y'all to Waco. We are hoping
to have shuttles from both the Dallas/Fort Worth airport and the Austin
airport, thanks to support from SCYM Friends.
The theme is
coming soon, but it will be fitting of this fabulous, expansive,
wonderful location as well as the yearning of our community. With a
theme announcement will also come a keynote speaker announcement! A call
for workshops will also come quite soon! Huzzah!
Questions, concerns, love, bubbles, and/or the location of a large stuffed unicorn should be sent to flgbtqcmidwinter at gmail dot com.
Feel free to share this little announcement with anyone that you think would be an awesome addition to our Gathering!
