Don't miss our general meeting on Monday, October 27, 2008. Rana Sampson will speak on bullying in the schools.

Mayor Sanders' wife is a national expert on the subject and will be able to give us great insight into the issue as it relates to our LGBT kids. Come and acknowledge Rana and the positive effect her family, Mayor Jerry Sanders and lesbian daughter Lisa have had on the cause of LGBT equality in San Diego!

The meeting is at the First Unitarian Universalist Church, 4190 Front Street in Hillcrest (across the street from the UCSD Medical Center main entrance). Parking is validated.
