UPCOMING PRIDE of NEPA Events

Tuesday, November 6, 6:30 pm
Monthly Board Meeting at Pride Place.

Wednesday, November 7, 6:30 pm
Bi-Monthly Book Club at Pride Place.

The book for this meeting is “Significant Others” (The Tales of the City Series, V. 5) by Armisted Maupin

Readers familiar with Maupin’s Tales of the City series will greet this latest installment like a welcome visit from old friends. Once again, the action focuses on the misadventures of a cross-section of San Franciscans, who this time take to the country for a late summer weekend in three separate gender-segregated retreats: a gay resort, a lesbian music festival and the infamous encampment of privilege at Bohemian Grove. While the trio of settings couldn’t be farther apart in spirit at least on the surface they all are within shouting distance of each other on the banks of the Russian River, and the three worlds, inevitably, collide.
