conference in the summer of 2007. Tobacco-Free Lavender Communities of
MN (TLC) has extended a contract to the organization to produce a
second conference, continuing to focus on health and wellness and
specifically feature tobacco as a serious health concern and social
justice issue facing LGBT communities.
This $7,500 contract
secures TLC as lead sponsor and will allow approximately 200 community
members to participate. If you are interested in helping with the

Bingo fundraiser raised over $3,000 for the Power to the People Tent.
Pi also hosted Soul Night in partnership with Color CoordiNATION.

collected over 350 health surveys, exploring the health status of LGBT
Communities of Color. We also gave away over 350 free Color
CoordiNATION t-shirts. And of course, we connected over 3,000 people at
our partnered events.
