If you’re not interested in playing mahjong, there will be other games available. You are also welcome to bring your own game/s! Bring your Nintendo Switch, favorite word game, card games to this free, community event.

Did we mention that you can win a prize and there will be snacks?! Yup!

Please note - we’ll be teaching Hong Kong style mahjong. If you would like a copy of the rules beforehand, please email info@sanmateopride.org

Release the Rage: A Queer Community Exhale
Sunday, 5/3 from 1-3pm at Ryder Park (San Mateo)
Has the state of the world got your blood boiling? Does reading news headlines make you want to punch a wall? If your answer is also yes, come join us for a rage release event on May 3rd! We will have a variety of outlets, including inflatable clown punching bags, dancing, stress ball making, and a community art project!

If you are interested in participating in the art project, please bring anything you want to glue, write, or draw about how you’re feeling right now. This can be news articles, images, poems, stickers - anything that represents your frustration in this moment. Once everyone has contributed what they’d like to the canvas, we will give folks a chance to talk about their contributions before we provide washable paint balls for everyone to throw at the canvas. Together we will create art out of anger and hopefully release some rage in the process.
Come join the San Mateo County Pride Center and Outlet for this event. This is a sober, all ages event. Snacks will be provided.
See you on Sunday, May 3rd from 1-3 PM at Ryder Park (1625 J. Hart Clinton Drive San Mateo 94403).

Out and About May: Goat Yoga at Lemos Farms
Sunday, 5/17 from 12:45 - 2 PM at Lemos Farm (12320 San Mateo Rd., Half Moon Bay)

Join the San Mateo County Pride Center as we explore our county with our Out & About events.
This is the third in a series of community gatherings at locally owned or friendly LGBTQ+ businesses in San Mateo County. This month, we will meet at Lemos Farm in Half Moon Bay for some Goat Yoga. Come to class with us, and the best part is that this is on us- no cost to our community members!

The class is one hour long- 45 minutes of goat yoga and 15 minutes of petting and taking photos with the goats. Participants are expected to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. Class will start at 1PM.

Please bring a beach towel, as the goats love to chew up yoga mats.
We recommend staying away from long earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. Goats love shiny things and anything hanging down is fair game! T-shirts, or sweatshirts are great! Try and stay away from tank tops and crop tops as the goats like to hop up on your back sometimes and it feels much nicer when there is a piece of clothing rather than bare skin. If you have long hair, wear it up as hair is another thing the goats love to chew on.
