Outdoors Club
Central Pennsylvania is
rich with natural resources, geographic diversity, and has a plethora of
outdoor activities to partake in. The LGBT Community Center has
organized a group of people that will explore all that Central PA has to
offer. Activities range from hiking to white water rafting, and from
ghostly bus tours to skiing. All levels of skill and interest are
welcome to join. Some programs may have small costs associated with
them. For information about accessibility, cost, and dates/locations of
programs please call Sean Maloney, Interim Program Director, at (717)
920-9534 or email him at
smaloney@centralpalgbtcenter.org.
Speakers Bureau
The LGBT Community
Center is proud to introduce its “A Day in the Life …” series. This
series starting in the fall will feature LGBT and Ally professionals
speaking on a variety of topics that are important to the lives of LGBT
individuals and families. Topics will include things like estate
planning, adoption, health care, and much more. All members of the
community are welcome to come to this and participate in the important
dialogue. The goals of these workshops will be to better inform the
participants of their rights, help them know how to best plan for the
future, and answer questions that have been on many of our minds. There
may be a cost associated with some of these seminars. For more
information please contact Sean Maloney, Interim Program Director, at
smaloney@centralpglgbtcenter.org or at (717) 920-9534.
Book Clubs
The LGBT Community
Center Coalition of Central Pennsylvania is excited to be coordinating a
series of book clubs beginning in September of 2009. The clubs will meet
monthly and discuss a different book each meeting. We are pleased to
have the help of Lewis Maurer, Reference Department Manager with the
Dauphin County Library System, and Eric St. Clair with Central Dauphin
East High School assisting us with this project. The Center envisions
these clubs as an important step toward creating common ground through
providing educational programming to LGBT people and allies in Central
Pennsylvania.
As a regionally representative Center, we will be starting this program
with groups in York, Lancaster and Harrisburg. For specific details
about meeting locations and times please see below. Please contact Sean
Maloney, Interim Program Director, at
smaloney@centralpalgbtcenter.org or (717) 920-9534 if you have
interest in learning more about the book clubs starting this fall,
including the location you would be interested in joining. Please also
contact us if you would be interested in helping to start another club
in a different city in the region. This will be a great way to meet new
people and get exposed to some of the vast collection of worthwhile LGBT-themed
books.
