Dear Members and Friends,
HAPPY LGBT PRIDE MONTH!! History was made last week when President Barack Obama officially declared the month of June to be LGBT PRIDE MONTH! Here is the transcript of the Declaration: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/05/31/presidential-proclamation-lesbian-gay-bisexual-and-transgender-pride-mon. This is the first time in American history that a President of the United States officially proclaimed such an endorsement to the LGBT segment of our country!
Thanks to Kevin and the Staff at IGUANA GRILL for the delicious Tex-Mex appetizer reception and the Door Prize. The evening could not have been more picture-perfect with a magnificent sunset and a full moon! Be sure to check out all the new photos on our website under PHOTO GALLERIES! www.CapitalCityQSocials.com I also want to thank everyone who attended the May Mixer. We had 37 new members turn-out. A special WELCOME to our new members! Thanks so much to our GREETERS without whom we would not be able to afford all our guests, the warm and friendly welcome that CapitalCityQSocials has become known to extend to all who attend.
I want to pay special thanks to David Pena - for all the amazing dedication and hard work that he has contribulted to help ensure the success of CapitalCityQSocials. He was always there at the Reception Desk at every one of our events, greeting everyone with a warm smile and genuine Texas hospitality. David has left Austin and moved to South Texas to pursue professional goals. I wish David the best of good luck and hope he comes back often to visit. Happy Trails!
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO BE GREETERS for this and every event. Please reach out by donating your time to your group. We need only 6 GREETERS to help welcome our members and guests as they arrive. It is fun, you get to meet new people instantly, and your first drink of the evening is FREE! Please contact me at Jonas@CapitalCityQSocials.com . I look forward to hearing from you.
DOOR PRIZES -We will continue with our popular DOOR PRIZES as long as our wonderful members and friends keep coming forward with their generous Door Prize donations. So, if you would like to have your business or service showcased in the spotlight for an evening, please feel free to donate a DOOR PRIZE to be given away at our Mixers. The Prize can be anything from a product to a service. The only parameter is that it must have a minimum retail value of $25. So please contact me with your Door Prizes as soon as possible so that I have the opportunity to mention them in my Newsletters prior to the event. Jonas@CapitalCityQSocials.com Thanks so much in advance.
Any ideas for future Mixer venues? If any of our members or friends can suggest new and exciting venues, or if you can host us at your place of business, please contact me as soon as possible, so that I may pursue your suggestions! Thanks so much in advance!
AND NOW, I am so very pleased to announce the second "SOCIALS UNDER THE STARS" series of outdoor events. For the next few months, our events will be held at indoor/outdoor venues so that we can articulate Austin's zest for outdoor living. "SULTRY SUMMER SOIREE" will be held on Monday, June 20th from7-10pm - hosted by the newly re-opened ALOFT at the Domain! So, join us for a fun-filled evening of mixing, mingling and networking under the stars with some of Austin's prestige GLBT Professionals and their friends. Alex Ponce, our official Club Photographer will be there to take photos! So, bring your smile! DRESS: POOLSIDE CASUAL – Shorts O.K. Please note: our summer Mixers are from 7-10pm.
Remember, we have choices on where to spend our money. We ask our members to support those businesses that embrace and reach out to the GLBT community. Let us continue to exemplify how valuable the "Gay Dollar" really is to Austin's economy.
BRING YOUR FRIENDS!! As always – NO DUES – NO FEES – NO ADMISSION CHARGE – Just show up and Mix, Mingle, Meet and NETWORK!
See you at the ALOFT at the Domain.
Cheers!
