Stonewall Columbus is seeking your help to identify Central Ohio LGBT senior adults for recognition as "Trailblazers" during the annual Columbus Pride celebration on June 17, 18 and 19, 2011. All LGBT senior adults who will be 70 years of age by December 31, 2011 and are a current or former resident of Central Ohio are eligible to participate.
"We owe a debt of gratitude to all of our LGBT senior adults, who lived, worked and loved during a time of great challenge for gay people and we hope to show our appreciation with this recognition." Karla Rothan, Stonewall Columbus Executive Director said.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Stonewall Columbus plans to recognize LGBT senior adults in several ways throughout the Pride weekend festivities:
All honorees will be invited to ride together in the parade on June 18, 2011 and each will be recognized by all those in attendance as a "Trailblazer."
A special Trailblazer's Lounge will be open at Goodale Park during the Pride Festival for all honorees. The Trailblazer's Lounge will be reserved for honored seniors and their guests and will feature food and beverages, live music and a private portable restroom.
All honorees and a guest will be invited to attend the Pride Brunch on June 19, 2011 free of charge, where they will be recognized for their life's journey and contributions which made Central Ohio a better place for all of us.
To participate -- please submit the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address for the senior adult to Rob Berger at thurber1961@aol.com. If you are nominating someone other than yourself, please also provide your contact information. All TraiIblazers must be 70 years of age by December 31, 2011 and be a current or former resident of Central Ohio. Participants will be invited to participate in all events, but participation is not required.
For more information or to submit a Trailblazer nomination, please contact Rob Berger at thurber1961@aol.com or 614-487-9306.
