Conscious Girlfriend Lesbian Meetup Pre-Portland Pride/Protest Picnic Gathering

Portland Pride is July 19 and 20. Instead of the traditional Dyke March, there's a "Pride and Protest" picnic gathering on Saturday the 19th at the traditional end of the march. https://www.facebook.com/events/4102737393325972?active_tab=about

Let's meet up at 5 prior to the 5:30 event just across the street in the shade under a tree (near the purple pin drop) to introduce ourselves (feel free to bring friends, especially those who may be interested in learning about Conscious Girlfriend Academy) and picnic just before and during the event.

This is a great opportunity to meet Conscious Girlfriend Academy (CGA) members from classes in person, to reunite with CGA alumni, to learn more about the Academy if you're new or curious, to make friends for attending other Pride events, and to participate in a protest. This event is wheelchair accessible, family-friendly.

The "Picnic and Protest" event takes place in the North Park blocks, on the block just south of Davis at the Monahan playground. Let's convene under a tree for some mellow socializing on the block just north of Davis (see map), where we can hear each other well, but easily wander across Davis to the speakers and performances if so inclined. I'll have a pink umbrella. (see the pin drop for the North Park Blocks on the attached map for approximate picnic location).

Bring: a picnic (or pick something up from a food cart at the nearby Cart Blocks or World Foods), water, a mask (requested by Pride and Protest organizers), something to sit on, and a protest sign if so inclined.

Weather: as of this posting, it looks like we'll have a break from the heat with a forecast high of 77.
Map: we'll be near the purple pin.

About Jenny S. and Nancy G., who are co-organizing this event: Neither of us work for CGA, but we've been participants in some of the classes and a retreat and have found them to be of tremendous value in learning about and establishing stronger relationship skills, which spill over into every area of life. The CGA community is extremely strong and supportive - a great place to land and meet others who want to grow, no matter your life stage or prior experience.
