Planning Pride Takes a Long Time

We know it's still February and the Pride Parade isn't until June, but an event like that takes a lot of planning. There's a lot of organizing to do before you even start planning, and then you can't really organize until you get the volunteers together to meet each other, preferably over drinks. Come to think of it, you may have to meet four or five times over drinks to get everyone comfortable with each other and to develop a good team environment.

That said, the Seattle Pride Committee that is responsible for the parade is holding its Volunteer Social Kick-Off on Saturday where the comfort levels will undoubtedly be increased and the team building will surely commence.

There will be free food and drinks, plus fun activities to get you in the PRIDE spirit. So come join the fun! All who attend will also receive a free T-shirt from last years pride celebration. For more information send an e-mail to Lana at volunteer@seattlepride.org, or call our office at 206.322.9561.

The event is Saturday from 2-5pm at Dunshee House, 303 17th Ave. E. Check out the entire calendar here.
