Clear your calendars, loosen your belts, and pack your Tupperware because the Team Building Committee is hosting a Friendsgiving Potluck on Thursday, October 9th, 2025, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm in Program Room A at Unity House.

It’s our chance to step away from our desks, share food, laugh a little too loudly, and show off our cooking skills (or our grocery store shopping skills as both deserve applause).

We’d love for you to bring a dish to share. Please sign up before October 5th here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0944A5A829A7F8C43-58555733-friendsgiving

Expect full plates, happy bellies, and maybe a few debates over who’s hiding a side hustle as a red-seal chef.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there - Stretchy pants optional, but recommended.

On May 17th, we observe the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, a day dedicated to advocating for the rights, dignity, and equality of individuals in the LGBTQ2S+ community. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by LGBTQ2S+ individuals, as well as the importance of fostering a society that values diversity, inclusivity, and respect for all.

By raising awareness and promoting understanding, we can work toward eradicating discrimination and stigma, ensuring that people of all sexual orientations and gender identities are treated with the dignity they deserve. It is an opportunity to celebrate progress, acknowledge the work still needed, and reaffirm our collective commitment to creating a world where everyone can live authentically and without fear of prejudice.
