Join us for our next THRIVE 50+ gathering on Friday, March 20 from 12 PM to 2 PM at Manheim Township Public Library.
THRIVE 50+ is a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ adults ages 50 and older to connect, build friendships, and share stories in an affirming environment. Whether you’ve been part of the local community for decades or are newly seeking connection, there is a seat for you here.
This month, we are honored to welcome guest speaker Barry Loveland, Co-Founder and Chair of the LGBT Center of Central PA History Project. Barry has been an out gay activist since 1977 and has spent years preserving and uplifting the stories of LGBTQ+ communities across Central Pennsylvania. His work reminds us that our local history matters and that our stories deserve to be remembered.
Light lunch is included.
Registration is required.
To register, please email [email protected]
A heartfelt thank you to Doug Bell of Harrisburg for generously serving as our Program Sponsor for this event.
We look forward to gathering with you and continuing to build community together.
