Pride is just around the corner and if you are looking for a way to get involved and show your support… well, you have options, options, options…
The Details. The Parade goes from 10 to 11am on June 4th. After the Parade, volunteers are encouraged to enjoy the rest of Pride.
What we need: Marchers, Actors, Costume Loans.
Marchers wear matching tee shirts and arm bands (provided). They pass out candy and handouts to the crowds. If you are interested in being a Marcher, contact Jason, [email protected] You will be asked to meet up at Palm and Olive at 9:30 am on the 4th.
Actors: (Very little actual acting required.) These are the brave souls who wear costumes while marching! We need the following costume wearing supporters:
*Gay Marriage Supporters: Dress as a Bride or a Groom! (You can sign up for this in pairs or let our fabulous coordinator find you a “match.” (Needed: 4-6 more volunteers)
*Don’t ask Don’t Tell Repeal Supporters: These volunteers get to wear military type costumes to show support for our brothers and sisters in the Armed Forces. (Needed 6 or more volunteers)
*Colors of The Rainbow! These 6 marchers showcase support ofr our awesome LGBT Community Center by wearing solid colored tee shirts (provided) that match the Gay Central Valley group of Gays… Gay Fresno, Gay Visalia, Gay Merced, etc. (We need 5 more volunteers for this!)
We need people to commit to these categories. Only by having a swell of supporters, a large cohesive force, can we make the splash of color and excitement that we need.
Costumes will mostly be provided, but….
If you have costumes or costume pieces that you think would be useful, we would love to BORROW them for the event. We especially need military uniforms.
If you are interested in being an Actor or have a costume / costume piece to loan, please contact Kate [email protected]
Please pass on this information to your friends and supporters in the area, and thank you in advance!
