Project Pride is back, with more rainbow than ever!

Hello Everybody!

Our first official meeting is happening today! We are going to meet then the 1000 Building, in the Boardroom, from 10:30 to 12:30. We need fresh project ideas for this year. We also have a lot of topics that some of our current members, and our advisor Jamie, want us to talk about.

On our first meeting will work on the following:

- What events do we want this quarter for Project Pride?

- Do we need to meet at a different time?

- Talk about the bullying that has lead to more gay teen suicide lately.

- Open the floor for questions, comments and concerns.

Can't make it to the meeting? Shoot us an e-mail and give us your voice!

If you know of anyone that would like to participate in Project Pride tell them about our blog!

We've had some awesome talent come out of our club in recent past.
Now its time to show Prez Ramiro our support as he vies for a schollarship by presenting his musical talent. By visiting this link, you can hear his music & cast your vote. Voting is easy- in the upper left corner of the site is a "register" tab which will ask for only the most basic of info, nothing too personal or exhausting & from there, cast your vote. Actually its an awesome site to hear new & upcoming youth musicians.

We hope your summer is going queerly well. Remember, we are officially on break from club functions thru SCC endorsement until Fall Quarter. *We look forward our unofficial anything goes Gay Day in the Park on Sunday August 15.

Summer Quarter & Pride Parade Plans

Welcome to Summer Quarter! Our club meetings will resume in the Fall Quarter. Until then, please reach out & stay close to our Pride Friends in other ways during this quarter. At the end of this very week, on Sunday, June 27, we will be representing our club & Shoreline Community College as we march in the Seattle Pride Parade. All persons in support of our club & the GLBTQ community at large are welcome to show up, support our pride, & to attend the Parade.


Seattle Pride Parade's theme this year is "Over the Rainbow." As a club, we have already made our awesome banner & other signs (hence the pictures.) We have also decided as a club to each be one rainbow color: Wilem will be Red, Sam', Orange, Ramiro, Yellow, Paul, Green, Heather, Purple, & our Proud Teacher, Dr. Mimi Harvey will be Pink. We still need a Blue Volunteer.

For those who submitted authorization papers to participate in the parade (this would have been done through a club meeting or with one of our officers), please know this Pride Parade Plan:

1) 8:00 AM on the morning of, at about across the street from the North Gate Bus Mall Transit Center is North Seattle Community College with a courtyard, called Thornton Place. Meet at Thornton Place (334 NE Thornton Place, Seattle). Allowing a short wait period for us to show up at this meeting place, we will enjoy refreshments (Ramiro is bringing fruit & donuts) & get pepped up for the day.

2) Together we will take Bus 41 downtown to Pioneer Square. If you can, bring up to $5 cash for round trip bus fare if you don’t have a bus pass/otherwise, we will just take care of each other. Together we will haul our parade essentials.

3) From downtown, we will walk together to the corner of 4th & James Street. That’s our reserved space.

For those who are not actually marching, you may join us in any of the above plans as well and/or find a good viewing point to cheer us on. Our march will start at roughly 11 am, however we are expected to arrive early- & besides, this will give us time to just have fun during the show before the parade.

Prez Ramiro would like us to keep these ideas in mind:

· Parking is available at the Northgate Transit Center. Do not drive down there. You will not be able to get in, traffic will be awful and you will have to pay a lot of money for parking that is really far away.

· Bring water. We are hoping for a hot sunny day, we are doing a lot of walking. Bring some food (trail mix?) It will likely rain though, so bring a rainbow umbrella.

· Parade lasts about two hours. To be on the safe side plan to be there until 2pm.

· At the end of the parade, we will officially be off of school time/chaperone status, but hopefully kinda sticking together.

· After the parade we will put stuff away and enjoy the other events. There has been talk to meet up at the Fountain for a gay swim.

· If you have any questions, please contact Prez Ramiro or any of our officers. We are active on FaceBook, Twitter, Cell Phone/Email, & Skype. Before the event, you can also ask questions in the Student Leadership Center, room 9301 of the PUB- Lisa & Jamie are especially helpful.

This will be the 3rd consecutive year that our club is participating in this event. For archived stories & pictures of the last 2 years, dig back in our older blog pages.

Meeting Notes May 29-June 6

Friday, June 4 was our Over the Rainbow Party & as you can see from this picture at left, we had some wild partiers workin' it too some real groovy music!

Sunday, June 6 was our campus Graduation Ceremony, as you can see from this picture at left, Club Advisor Jamie is celebrating with Graduate Sam'!

Sam' says.. "I remember what I've told graduates of the past... once a member/always a member & with that, I will carry our club vision of pride out into the real world while staying true to the club as an alumni member."

Congratulations are also in order for Ariaunna, Ash, & Izzy.

The four of us at left- as your officers will be meeting regularly during June to prepare for the Pride Parade that we are participating & marching in as a club. Our first get together will likely be this weekend sometime, at Sam's place with potluck lunch, but that is TBA. All club members & alumni are welcome to join in for lunch & parade projects- no marching required. Aside from that, look for our official club meetings to start up again in the Fall quarter- until then, our blog entries may be infrequent.
