Could you spare two hours on the afternoon of May 14, Saturday, to say "hello" to people on behalf of CUCC? We'll have a table at OutRaleigh, a family-friendly street fair with music and children's activities which celebrates the growing diversity of Raleigh and is sponsored by the LGBT Center of Raleigh. (CUCC is a member.) This is your chance to spread the word of welcome to our neighbors who are LGBT or who have loved ones who are. Sadly, many do not know that there are churches in Raleigh where they are welcome.
If you are able to help, contact Joan to sign up for a shift. We'll have a tent to provide shade & lots of printed material with info about CUCC. Your job is to be yourself, to be friendly, to enjoy the day. There will be at least two people per shift, so you'll have company as you people-watch and answer questions.
[A personal note from Jane: I know no one believes me, but I'm an introvert. Saying "hi" to strangers is tough for me and I hate intruding on deeply personal ground. My experience at NC Pride surprised me. Folks are so excited to hear about a welcoming church. Simply being there, smiling, answering questions - that was all that was required to be good news.]
