Gay Central Valley’s LGBT Community Center continues to grow…
We’re working to expand the number of days we are open. Currently we are open Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and we’ve just added the first Tuesday of every month, with the all Tuesdays to follow shortly.
Hours are Wed Noon-6PM, Fri Noon-5PM, Sat Noon-6pm, Sun 9AM-Noon. The first Tuesday of each month we are open 11AM-3PM.
Anyone interested in volunteering for Gay Central Valley, whether to work in the office or for any number of various activities throughout the year, please come into the community center and fill out the appropriate paperwork. We also have a monthly activity driven through our Community Engagement Team, at which we as a group volunteer for other organizations in the Valley. Visit GayCentralValley.org for more information about volunteering for this group, which generally takes no more than 3-4 hours (sometimes less) one day out of the month. In March our team will plant native plants in a nature preserve up by the San Joaquin River for the San Joaquin River Stewardship Program on the first day of Spring, Sunday March 20th from 9 am to noon. In April our team will be helping out at the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus concert at Fresno State on Sunday, April 10th. PURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE NOW
We’ve added more resources and information from community organizations. We offer free condoms and HIV information, free Rainbow Delegation Wristbands, free copies of News Link and other local papers, as well as community schedules and a community bulletin board for upcoming events. Information on the many ways you can participate and/or advertise at the Fresno Rainbow Pride Parade and Festival (June 4th, 2011) is also available.
We’ve added a guest desk with computer and printer for those who would like to utilize it during our open hours. We also now offer WiFi service, which you may access for free, or choose to make a donation to Gay Central Valley in return for the wireless access.
Groups and organizations are free to utilize our center for their meetings. Simply contact us to arrange your groups meetings, which we provide even during hours when the community center is not regularly open.
We’ve now catalogued our donated books, both fiction and nonfiction, as well as our DVD, CD and VHS selections. Come in anytime during normal operating hours and fill out a library card and you may borrow any of these for a two week period of time, which is available for extension.
