SAGE's Pinochle Group is now meeting at The Center in Group Room Two on Thursdays, 12:30-3:30pm. Newcomers welcome!
In 2009, over 1,000 volunteers went door to door with us to talk with voters about the importance of marriage equality for gay & lesbian couples. This year we’ve already talked with voters at their door in places like Santee and El Cajon. How great is that?
We know we’re on the right path, but California’s a huge state and we have to change the minds of 800 San Diegans this year alone or we WILL continue to lose this fight. Currently, we don't have enough volunteers on our team to meet this goal.
That's why we're on the phones every Tuesday and Thursday night, calling our supporters and signing up new volunteers. New and experienced phone bankers are welcome -- we go through a great training with you so you'll be well prepared to sign up some new volunteers and help build the team that's going to win marriage back! We also pair you with experienced coaches to support you through your whole shift. This is the most effective way to get more supporters to join the crucial work of going door-to-door to change hearts and minds about same-sex marriage.
It’s really important that we get all of our supporters out with us doing this important work. We all need to do our part.
Join us from 6-9pm any Tuesday or Thursday night at our office, 4506 30th Street, SD 92116 (North Park/Normal Heights).
Come join us for a great gay bowling league every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Kearny Mesa Bowl. We take any level of bowler, new, intermediate, or advanced, men and women. It's a handicapped-league, which means we all bowl on equal footing. We are accepting any number of people from 1 to a full team of 4. The Summer League lasts until the middle of August. The cost is approximately $16 per week. Teams are forming now, please give us a call or email to join! The league will begin its long Winter season in early September, and we'd like to get your interest for that league as well.
From 6-9 p.m. Thursday, July 1, Hillcrest will be celebrating the lighting of 50+ median lights installed along University Avenue between Tenth and Normal streets. Prior to the lighting attendees can enjoy sidewalk sales, tastes, entertainment, giveaways, and seating along University Avenue.
