Church Life Brunch, AKA QrSA, and Pick.Click.Give. with the PFD

Gay AK - notes from LGBT Alaska

Youth Initiative launched

Identity Inc. officially launched their new Youth Initiative Program, AKA QrSA. The program is designed to create a safe place for LGBTQ teenagers and their allies to hang out. The first Holiday Hang-out was at the Center on Dec. 19. The youth are enthusiastic about the program, creating a Facebook page and planning events for the future. A special thank you to the volunteer staff and friends of the GLCCA, and the members of St. John's United Methodist Church who provided gifts.

Church Life AK's first Christmas Day Brunch

Over 15 people attended Church Life Alaska's first annual Christmas Day Brunch. "Thanks to Identity for letting us use the GLCCA, and thanks to Steve and Edie who donated finances to make the event a success," writes Rev. Johnathan. "Finally, thank you to all of those folk who came and spent Christmas with us for a short while!"
