Adrienne Critcher, founding member of PACE (Political Action Council for Equality), a local gay rights advocacy group, recently wrote to SptBlog: " We are hosting our first annual Gay Pride Dinner this year on Friday, June 23 at 7 p.m. at Smith's Cross Lake Inn. The cutoff date for reservations is Wed., June 21."

"We are excited about the dinner. We have 3 wonderful speakers (10 minutes each!): Bobby Darrow, Randy Evans (Forum for Equality) and Centenary student Rachel Powell who went on the Soulforce Equality Ride (patterned after the Freedom Rides). Rachel and a bus load of college students visited college campuses across the country with anti-gay policies to engage in dialog. She has a powerful story to tell."

$25 per person: mail check to PACE Dinner, Gary McColister, 531 Red Baron Dr, Spt, 71115, or purchase tickets online at www.loveandletlove.org.
