LGBT Affirming Activities<br />

The <strong>VCS</strong> Community Change Project celebrated the 10th<br />

year of Gay Pride Rockland at the annual event in June.<br />

Leading up to this community event, many outreach efforts<br />

were held to support the inclusion of LGBTQ individuals<br />

and families into the larger life of the community. Several of these invents<br />

included a juried art exhibit and art walk in Nyack; musical and performance<br />

concerts, film showings, an annual dance for gay pride and an honorary dinner.<br />

Some of these events were billed as fundraisers but all focused on the overarching<br />

theme of equality for all, with no exceptions.<br />

The 2008-2009 Directory of LGBT Friendly Businesses, Services and<br />

Community Organizations, a major resource for the LBGTQ community was<br />

the biggest yet, thanks to our many sponsors and advertisers. The directory is<br />

published on the website www.gaypriderockland.org. a carefully maintained<br />

vehicle that also provides on-going announcements and information throughout<br />

the year.
