The Center has partnered with The San Diego Food Bank.  9 am until the food is gone.  Booths for signing up for food stamps and other services open at 8 am.  People start lining up for the food by 8 am.  The food is normally gone by 10 am.&lt;br /&gt;
Through our Community Food Distribution Program, The San Diego Food Bank (SDFB) feeds over 1,600 families each month.  Products such as fresh fruits and vegetables and assorted cans are a few of the items you might find at any of our ten distribution sites.&lt;br /&gt;
The SDFB partners with non-profits to help distribute a minimum of 12 pallets of food each week.  There are absolutely no requirements to receive food from our community food distributions.  &lt;br /&gt;
In addition to this, we’re launching our Community Cares Project.  Our goal is to provide a “one –stop-shop” where people can receive emergency food, pre-screen for Food Stamps and sign up for a range of  other services including housing, employment, medical as well as low cost utility programs.

Through the group setting, we offer a safe and nonjudgmental space to talk about ambivalence related to meth use, relationships, community norms, health issues, sex, and past and present struggles with drug use. The group also includes education and skill-building training that focus on strategies to limit the harm associated with drug use, identify triggers, prevent relapse, increase positive supports, and improve sexual health. </description>

At long last, OCEAN SQUARES is back.  Tons of fun!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that the long, drawn-out election is over, Ocean Squares is dancing again, tonight, Tuesday, November 11, 2008, at Pilgrim Hall in Pilgrim United Church, 2020 Chestnut Street, Carlsbad, CA, from 7 to 9 pm.&lt;br /&gt;
Pilgrim Hall is next to and attached to the church (unless we get shunted to the nursery again!).  Pilgrim Church is on the northeast corner of Chestnut and Monroe, in Carlsbad.  No—not the Mormon Temple—the opposite corner!&lt;br /&gt;
From the 78, exit El Camino, go south to Chestnut and turn right, down to Monroe.  Church is on the near right corner.  Small parking off Chestnut, and more parking around the corner.&lt;br /&gt;
We invite you to join us for an enjoyable evening of square dancing.  Everyone is invited, whether you already know how to square dance or not.  We will show you how!  You don’t need a partner, and there is no dress code.&lt;br /&gt;
We are one of twelve gay square dance clubs in southern California, and about 85 in the U.S., Canada, and several other countries, including Japan and Denmark!&lt;br /&gt;
Hope to see you tonight!&lt;br /&gt;

The Women’s Resource Center (WRC) is pleased to announce another installment of its popular series, Coffee &amp;amp; Conversation with Cool Women, on Tuesday, February 2, at 7 pm at The Center (3909 Centre Street). Coffee &amp;amp; Conversation is a monthly event featuring Tryce Czyczynska interviewing notable women from the community, “Oprah-style.” We are very excited to announce that, in honor of Valentine’s Day, we are featuring romantic couple and creative partners Jessica Culpepper and Mary Buckheit as our “cool women” for February. Jessica is the Program Manager at the Hillcrest Youth Center and Mary is a full-time writer for ESPN.com; together they host webisodes on FlawLes TV.&lt;br /&gt;
Join us for coffee, dessert and a dynamic conversation about love, sports, activism, and what it’s like to be lesbian YouTube sensations! This event is FREE, open to all, and will take place in The Center’s library. For more information, please contact Abby Schwartz, Women&amp;#039;s Resource Center coordinator, at (619) 692-2077, ext. 212, or women@thecentersd.org.&lt;br /&gt;

Project OUT-Reach is an in-person campaign that puts a face to the issue every single Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10am – Get a training and coffee&lt;br /&gt;
11am – Go out with a buddy that’s done the canvass before&lt;br /&gt;
2pm – Return to base to report back your experience and get lunch&lt;br /&gt;
3pm – Out the door to enjoy the rest of your weekend knowing that you made a difference&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Project OUT-Reach – a project where we are going into the areas around San Diego County where we lost Prop 8 looking for new supporters while educating the community about what&amp;#039;s happening around the issue of marriage equality and getting them involved in the next steps towards equality. Even by starting right now, we have less than two years to change the hearts and minds of 250,000 + 1 Californians by using earned media, demonstrations, public outreach and education. To be successful we cannot just organize in areas that are supportive. We must also reach out to communities that have not traditionally been our allies in this fight to bridge the gap in understanding. We will have conversations with people, both at their doors and in busy public spaces to raise consciousness about the issue as well as funds for the cause. We will keep our community energized and engaged as activists, fighting to win back our fundamental right to marry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Scouting For All Urges Boy Scouts to Change Policy Excluding LGBT and Atheist youth and adults&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SAN DIEGO – January 8, 2010 – Scouting For All (SFA) will urge the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to change its discriminatory national policy excluding LGBT and non-theist scouts, There will be a candlelight vigil on February 6 from 5:30PM to 6:30PM in front of Boy Scouts headquarters at 1207 Upas. We will begin at The LGBT Center at 3909 Center Street (corner of Center and University at 5:30 and walk to BSA headquarters on Upas Street&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 100 Years the Boy Scouts of America still has not learned to treat all people equal. There stance against gay and non-theist children and adults amounts to teaching hate by example. Will they never learn? In the 50s they had segregated troops in the south. In the 60s to 70s they spent a lot of money to prove women could not be scoutmasters. Now this…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Scouting For All believes that Scouting is a wonderful program.” said Howard Menzer, Eagle Scout and president of SFA.  “Robert Baden-Powell, who founded the Scouting Movement in 1907, began the movement on the principle that Scouting would be offered to all youth, providing them with an opportunity to grow and develop as individuals and to help make the world a better place. In this vein, we oppose bigotry and discrimination in Scouting and seek to persuade the public to exert influence on the BSA to join the openness of world scouting so that all children and adults are once again welcome participants in the Scouting program.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scouting For All also opposes special treatment that the BSA, a religious based organization, receives from local governments, including the City of San Diego, which leases public property to the organization with taxpayer subsidies. The BSA continues to lease city-owned&lt;br /&gt;
 property in Balboa Park at a discounted rate and uses a boat dock on Fiesta Island without cost, despite a 2003 court order declaring the leases violated the constitutional separation of church and state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
###&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About Scouting for All&lt;br /&gt;
Founded in 1997, Scouting for All is a nonprofit&lt;br /&gt;
501(c) (3) organization that advocates the restoration of&lt;br /&gt;
the traditionally unbiased values of Scouting as&lt;br /&gt;
expressed and embodied in the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.&lt;br /&gt;
The group seeks to influence the Boy Scouts of America&lt;br /&gt;
to serve and include as participating members all&lt;br /&gt;
youth and adult leaders, regardless of their spiritual&lt;br /&gt;
belief, gender or sexual orientation. To learn more,&lt;br /&gt;

San Diego, CA, January 17, 2010:  Pauline Miriam, the brains behind Hot Flash Dance Parties, started Hot Flash in Portland, OR in 2004.  Now they are in six different cities and she plans on adding more.  Hot Flash Dances are just not for those over 35 anymore.  They are for those that love great music from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.  They are for those who love to be around sassy and mature women and enjoy having a great time in a fun environment.  She has now introduced Inferno, a dance party for all genders with the same vibe and feel of Hot Flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HAPPY NEW YEAR!&lt;br /&gt;
The Women of Hot Flash wish you every blessing that you deserve in 2010!&lt;br /&gt;
*********&lt;br /&gt;
SAN DIEGO INFERNO&lt;br /&gt;
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
The Flame, 3780 Park Blvd, &lt;br /&gt;
5:30p-9:30p                 $10&lt;br /&gt;
Mark your calendars now and pass the word amongst your friends in San Diego.  DJ Muse amps the night and spins your requests.  We do it because we love you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just what is Inferno?&lt;br /&gt;
Inferno Dance Parties take you back to the 60s and brings you forward into the 21st century! We leave no person behind. Inferno is designed to cater to those in our LGBTQ community who enjoy shaking it and moving to the tunes of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. &lt;br /&gt;
Our music is an eclectic mix of the greatest dance tracks from the 70s to today so we can get down to a variety of beats that take us back to the golden years as well as keeping up with today’s hottest dance music. &lt;br /&gt;
HOT FLASH &amp;amp; INFERNO: Where friendships are re-ignited, dates are made, business networks are formed, and an entire community of women comes together with laughter, joy, and love.</description>

Talking about TINA is a group for HIV+ men who use crystal methamphetamine. Through the group setting, we offer a safe and nonjudgmental space to talk about ambivalence related to meth use, relationships, community norms, health issues, sex, and past and present struggles with drug use. The group also includes education and skill-building training that focus on strategies to limit the harm associated with drug use, identify triggers, prevent relapse, increase positive supports, and improve sexual health. </description>

<description>
At long last, OCEAN SQUARES is back.  Tons of fun!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that the long, drawn-out election is over, Ocean Squares is dancing again, tonight, Tuesday, November 11, 2008, at Pilgrim Hall in Pilgrim United Church, 2020 Chestnut Street, Carlsbad, CA, from 7 to 9 pm.&lt;br /&gt;
Pilgrim Hall is next to and attached to the church (unless we get shunted to the nursery again!).  Pilgrim Church is on the northeast corner of Chestnut and Monroe, in Carlsbad.  No—not the Mormon Temple—the opposite corner!&lt;br /&gt;
From the 78, exit El Camino, go south to Chestnut and turn right, down to Monroe.  Church is on the near right corner.  Small parking off Chestnut, and more parking around the corner.&lt;br /&gt;
We invite you to join us for an enjoyable evening of square dancing.  Everyone is invited, whether you already know how to square dance or not.  We will show you how!  You don’t need a partner, and there is no dress code.&lt;br /&gt;
We are one of twelve gay square dance clubs in southern California, and about 85 in the U.S., Canada, and several other countries, including Japan and Denmark!&lt;br /&gt;
Hope to see you tonight!&lt;br /&gt;

The bisexual forum meets on the second Tuesday of the month from 7:30 to 9:30pm at The Center in Hillcrest. We are a self help support and discussion group for bisexuals, their partners, friends and for people who are not sure of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We offer a safe and confidential environment for open discussion, questions and sharing of experiences. We also offer monthly social events. At our meetings we split into two groups. One discusses a wide array of issues related to bisexuality. The other is a support group. Here we will share on a more personal level. However this is NOT a therapy group. In this group we encourage you to use I messages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have a board of directors and usually two coordinators. We usually have different facilitators each month for the support and discussion groups. If you have any ideas for change or wish to volunteer please let the board of directors know. &lt;br /&gt;

Diversionary Theatre presents ‘The Marriage Bed’&lt;br /&gt;
West Coast Premiere!  &lt;br /&gt;
By Nona Shepphard.  Directed by Rosina Reynolds.&lt;br /&gt;
Featuring Dana Hooley and Dré Slaman&lt;br /&gt;
Jeni loves Val and Val loves Jeni.  But is that enough reason to get married, especially when you’re not sure your girlfriend is over her ex, and one of you is not out to your family.  Once the United Kingdom approved civil partnerships in 2005, same-sex couples had to ask themselves: “Do I want to make a commitment?  Do we want to make a big splash?  If so, what sort of splash? Shall it be the pink limousines, or shall we walk?  Shall we invite my mother?  (If she says no, it will make me feel really awful and spoil the day.)  Do I want to be formally tied to another person?”  All this and a fourposter bed!  Reynolds has directed The Twilight of the Golds, Beautiful Thing and Wrinkles, among others for Diversionary. Funny, touching, timely and ingenious.  Underwritten by Joann Clark. &lt;br /&gt;
February 11-28, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday and Wednesday at 7:30pm &lt;br /&gt;
Friday &amp;amp; Saturday at 8:00pm&lt;br /&gt;

Project OUT-Reach is an in-person campaign that puts a face to the issue every single Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10am – Get a training and coffee&lt;br /&gt;
11am – Go out with a buddy that’s done the canvass before&lt;br /&gt;
2pm – Return to base to report back your experience and get lunch&lt;br /&gt;
3pm – Out the door to enjoy the rest of your weekend knowing that you made a difference&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Project OUT-Reach – a project where we are going into the areas around San Diego County where we lost Prop 8 looking for new supporters while educating the community about what&amp;#039;s happening around the issue of marriage equality and getting them involved in the next steps towards equality. Even by starting right now, we have less than two years to change the hearts and minds of 250,000 + 1 Californians by using earned media, demonstrations, public outreach and education. To be successful we cannot just organize in areas that are supportive. We must also reach out to communities that have not traditionally been our allies in this fight to bridge the gap in understanding. We will have conversations with people, both at their doors and in busy public spaces to raise consciousness about the issue as well as funds for the cause. We will keep our community energized and engaged as activists, fighting to win back our fundamental right to marry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Diversionary Theatre presents ‘The Marriage Bed’&lt;br /&gt;
West Coast Premiere!  &lt;br /&gt;
By Nona Shepphard.  Directed by Rosina Reynolds.&lt;br /&gt;
Featuring Dana Hooley and Dré Slaman&lt;br /&gt;
Jeni loves Val and Val loves Jeni.  But is that enough reason to get married, especially when you’re not sure your girlfriend is over her ex, and one of you is not out to your family.  Once the United Kingdom approved civil partnerships in 2005, same-sex couples had to ask themselves: “Do I want to make a commitment?  Do we want to make a big splash?  If so, what sort of splash? Shall it be the pink limousines, or shall we walk?  Shall we invite my mother?  (If she says no, it will make me feel really awful and spoil the day.)  Do I want to be formally tied to another person?”  All this and a fourposter bed!  Reynolds has directed The Twilight of the Golds, Beautiful Thing and Wrinkles, among others for Diversionary. Funny, touching, timely and ingenious.  Underwritten by Joann Clark. &lt;br /&gt;
February 11-28, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday and Wednesday at 7:30pm &lt;br /&gt;
Friday &amp;amp; Saturday at 8:00pm&lt;br /&gt;

Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday performances: $29&lt;br /&gt;

Talking about TINA is a group for HIV+ men who use crystal methamphetamine. Through the group setting, we offer a safe and nonjudgmental space to talk about ambivalence related to meth use, relationships, community norms, health issues, sex, and past and present struggles with drug use. The group also includes education and skill-building training that focus on strategies to limit the harm associated with drug use, identify triggers, prevent relapse, increase positive supports, and improve sexual health. </description>

At long last, OCEAN SQUARES is back.  Tons of fun!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that the long, drawn-out election is over, Ocean Squares is dancing again, tonight, Tuesday, November 11, 2008, at Pilgrim Hall in Pilgrim United Church, 2020 Chestnut Street, Carlsbad, CA, from 7 to 9 pm.&lt;br /&gt;
Pilgrim Hall is next to and attached to the church (unless we get shunted to the nursery again!).  Pilgrim Church is on the northeast corner of Chestnut and Monroe, in Carlsbad.  No—not the Mormon Temple—the opposite corner!&lt;br /&gt;
From the 78, exit El Camino, go south to Chestnut and turn right, down to Monroe.  Church is on the near right corner.  Small parking off Chestnut, and more parking around the corner.&lt;br /&gt;
We invite you to join us for an enjoyable evening of square dancing.  Everyone is invited, whether you already know how to square dance or not.  We will show you how!  You don’t need a partner, and there is no dress code.&lt;br /&gt;
We are one of twelve gay square dance clubs in southern California, and about 85 in the U.S., Canada, and several other countries, including Japan and Denmark!&lt;br /&gt;
Hope to see you tonight!&lt;br /&gt;

Diversionary Theatre presents ‘The Marriage Bed’&lt;br /&gt;
West Coast Premiere!  &lt;br /&gt;
By Nona Shepphard.  Directed by Rosina Reynolds.&lt;br /&gt;
Featuring Dana Hooley and Dré Slaman&lt;br /&gt;
Jeni loves Val and Val loves Jeni.  But is that enough reason to get married, especially when you’re not sure your girlfriend is over her ex, and one of you is not out to your family.  Once the United Kingdom approved civil partnerships in 2005, same-sex couples had to ask themselves: “Do I want to make a commitment?  Do we want to make a big splash?  If so, what sort of splash? Shall it be the pink limousines, or shall we walk?  Shall we invite my mother?  (If she says no, it will make me feel really awful and spoil the day.)  Do I want to be formally tied to another person?”  All this and a fourposter bed!  Reynolds has directed The Twilight of the Golds, Beautiful Thing and Wrinkles, among others for Diversionary. Funny, touching, timely and ingenious.  Underwritten by Joann Clark. &lt;br /&gt;
February 11-28, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday and Wednesday at 7:30pm &lt;br /&gt;
Friday &amp;amp; Saturday at 8:00pm&lt;br /&gt;

Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday performances: $29&lt;br /&gt;

Diversionary Theatre presents ‘The Marriage Bed’&lt;br /&gt;
West Coast Premiere!  &lt;br /&gt;
By Nona Shepphard.  Directed by Rosina Reynolds.&lt;br /&gt;
Featuring Dana Hooley and Dré Slaman&lt;br /&gt;
Jeni loves Val and Val loves Jeni.  But is that enough reason to get married, especially when you’re not sure your girlfriend is over her ex, and one of you is not out to your family.  Once the United Kingdom approved civil partnerships in 2005, same-sex couples had to ask themselves: “Do I want to make a commitment?  Do we want to make a big splash?  If so, what sort of splash? Shall it be the pink limousines, or shall we walk?  Shall we invite my mother?  (If she says no, it will make me feel really awful and spoil the day.)  Do I want to be formally tied to another person?”  All this and a fourposter bed!  Reynolds has directed The Twilight of the Golds, Beautiful Thing and Wrinkles, among others for Diversionary. Funny, touching, timely and ingenious.  Underwritten by Joann Clark. &lt;br /&gt;
February 11-28, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday and Wednesday at 7:30pm &lt;br /&gt;
Friday &amp;amp; Saturday at 8:00pm&lt;br /&gt;
Sunday at 2:00 &amp;amp; 7:00pm&lt;br /&gt;
Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday performances: $29&lt;br /&gt;
Friday performances: $31&lt;br /&gt;
Saturday performances: $33&lt;br /&gt;
Students/Seniors 60+/Military: $4 off&lt;br /&gt;
Student Rush: $10.00 tickets for students w/ID starting one hour before curtain.&lt;br /&gt;

Project OUT-Reach is an in-person campaign that puts a face to the issue every single Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10am – Get a training and coffee&lt;br /&gt;
11am – Go out with a buddy that’s done the canvass before&lt;br /&gt;
2pm – Return to base to report back your experience and get lunch&lt;br /&gt;
3pm – Out the door to enjoy the rest of your weekend knowing that you made a difference&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Project OUT-Reach – a project where we are going into the areas around San Diego County where we lost Prop 8 looking for new supporters while educating the community about what&amp;#039;s happening around the issue of marriage equality and getting them involved in the next steps towards equality. Even by starting right now, we have less than two years to change the hearts and minds of 250,000 + 1 Californians by using earned media, demonstrations, public outreach and education. To be successful we cannot just organize in areas that are supportive. We must also reach out to communities that have not traditionally been our allies in this fight to bridge the gap in understanding. We will have conversations with people, both at their doors and in busy public spaces to raise consciousness about the issue as well as funds for the cause. We will keep our community energized and engaged as activists, fighting to win back our fundamental right to marry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Once the United Kingdom approved civil partnerships in 2005, same-sex couples had to ask themselves: “Do I want to make a commitment?  Do we want to make a big splash?  If so, what sort of splash? Shall it be the pink limousines, or shall we walk?  Shall we invite my mother?  (If she says no, it will make me feel really awful and spoil the day.)  Do I want to be formally tied to another person?”  All this and a fourposter bed!  Reynolds has directed The Twilight of the Golds, Beautiful Thing and Wrinkles, among others for Diversionary. Funny, touching, timely and ingenious.  Underwritten by Joann Clark. &lt;br /&gt;

The San Diego Women’s Chorus is a non-audition community-based chorus open to women of all sexual orientations, ages, ethnicities, and skill levels. Reading music is a plus, not a requirement.

The music of SDWC speaks to issues as diverse as human rights, love, world peace, religious freedom, environmental harmony, inclusion and cultural diversity. SDWC supports and affirms the music of women, and Lesbian and Gay composers and arrangers.   Meets every week at the University Christian Church (3900 Cleveland Ave)</description>

Talking about TINA is a group for HIV+ men who use crystal methamphetamine. Through the group setting, we offer a safe and nonjudgmental space to talk about ambivalence related to meth use, relationships, community norms, health issues, sex, and past and present struggles with drug use. The group also includes education and skill-building training that focus on strategies to limit the harm associated with drug use, identify triggers, prevent relapse, increase positive supports, and improve sexual health. </description>

At long last, OCEAN SQUARES is back.  Tons of fun!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that the long, drawn-out election is over, Ocean Squares is dancing again, tonight, Tuesday, November 11, 2008, at Pilgrim Hall in Pilgrim United Church, 2020 Chestnut Street, Carlsbad, CA, from 7 to 9 pm.&lt;br /&gt;
Pilgrim Hall is next to and attached to the church (unless we get shunted to the nursery again!).  Pilgrim Church is on the northeast corner of Chestnut and Monroe, in Carlsbad.  No—not the Mormon Temple—the opposite corner!&lt;br /&gt;
From the 78, exit El Camino, go south to Chestnut and turn right, down to Monroe.  Church is on the near right corner.  Small parking off Chestnut, and more parking around the corner.&lt;br /&gt;
We invite you to join us for an enjoyable evening of square dancing.  Everyone is invited, whether you already know how to square dance or not.  We will show you how!  You don’t need a partner, and there is no dress code.&lt;br /&gt;
We are one of twelve gay square dance clubs in southern California, and about 85 in the U.S., Canada, and several other countries, including Japan and Denmark!&lt;br /&gt;
Hope to see you tonight!&lt;br /&gt;

Diversionary Theatre presents ‘The Marriage Bed’&lt;br /&gt;
West Coast Premiere!  &lt;br /&gt;
By Nona Shepphard.  Directed by Rosina Reynolds.&lt;br /&gt;
Featuring Dana Hooley and Dré Slaman&lt;br /&gt;
Jeni loves Val and Val loves Jeni.  But is that enough reason to get married, especially when you’re not sure your girlfriend is over her ex, and one of you is not out to your family.  Once the United Kingdom approved civil partnerships in 2005, same-sex couples had to ask themselves: “Do I want to make a commitment?  Do we want to make a big splash?  If so, what sort of splash? Shall it be the pink limousines, or shall we walk?  Shall we invite my mother?  (If she says no, it will make me feel really awful and spoil the day.)  Do I want to be formally tied to another person?”  All this and a fourposter bed!  Reynolds has directed The Twilight of the Golds, Beautiful Thing and Wrinkles, among others for Diversionary. Funny, touching, timely and ingenious.  Underwritten by Joann Clark. &lt;br /&gt;
February 11-28, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday and Wednesday at 7:30pm &lt;br /&gt;
Friday &amp;amp; Saturday at 8:00pm&lt;br /&gt;
Sunday at 2:00 &amp;amp; 7:00pm&lt;br /&gt;
Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday performances: $29&lt;br /&gt;

Diversionary Theatre presents ‘The Marriage Bed’&lt;br /&gt;
West Coast Premiere!  &lt;br /&gt;
By Nona Shepphard.  Directed by Rosina Reynolds.&lt;br /&gt;
Featuring Dana Hooley and Dré Slaman&lt;br /&gt;
Jeni loves Val and Val loves Jeni.  But is that enough reason to get married, especially when you’re not sure your girlfriend is over her ex, and one of you is not out to your family.  Once the United Kingdom approved civil partnerships in 2005, same-sex couples had to ask themselves: “Do I want to make a commitment?  Do we want to make a big splash?  If so, what sort of splash? Shall it be the pink limousines, or shall we walk?  Shall we invite my mother?  (If she says no, it will make me feel really awful and spoil the day.)  Do I want to be formally tied to another person?”  All this and a fourposter bed!  Reynolds has directed The Twilight of the Golds, Beautiful Thing and Wrinkles, among others for Diversionary. Funny, touching, timely and ingenious.  Underwritten by Joann Clark. &lt;br /&gt;
February 11-28, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday and Wednesday at 7:30pm &lt;br /&gt;
Friday &amp;amp; Saturday at 8:00pm&lt;br /&gt;
Sunday at 2:00 &amp;amp; 7:00pm&lt;br /&gt;
Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday performances: $29&lt;br /&gt;
Friday performances: $31&lt;br /&gt;
Saturday performances: $33&lt;br /&gt;

Project OUT-Reach is an in-person campaign that puts a face to the issue every single Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10am – Get a training and coffee&lt;br /&gt;
11am – Go out with a buddy that’s done the canvass before&lt;br /&gt;
2pm – Return to base to report back your experience and get lunch&lt;br /&gt;
3pm – Out the door to enjoy the rest of your weekend knowing that you made a difference&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Project OUT-Reach – a project where we are going into the areas around San Diego County where we lost Prop 8 looking for new supporters while educating the community about what&amp;#039;s happening around the issue of marriage equality and getting them involved in the next steps towards equality. Even by starting right now, we have less than two years to change the hearts and minds of 250,000 + 1 Californians by using earned media, demonstrations, public outreach and education. To be successful we cannot just organize in areas that are supportive. We must also reach out to communities that have not traditionally been our allies in this fight to bridge the gap in understanding. We will have conversations with people, both at their doors and in busy public spaces to raise consciousness about the issue as well as funds for the cause. We will keep our community energized and engaged as activists, fighting to win back our fundamental right to marry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Diversionary Theatre presents ‘The Marriage Bed’&lt;br /&gt;
West Coast Premiere!  &lt;br /&gt;
By Nona Shepphard.  Directed by Rosina Reynolds.&lt;br /&gt;
Featuring Dana Hooley and Dré Slaman&lt;br /&gt;
Jeni loves Val and Val loves Jeni.  But is that enough reason to get married, especially when you’re not sure your girlfriend is over her ex, and one of you is not out to your family.  Once the United Kingdom approved civil partnerships in 2005, same-sex couples had to ask themselves: “Do I want to make a commitment?  Do we want to make a big splash?  If so, what sort of splash? Shall it be the pink limousines, or shall we walk?  Shall we invite my mother?  (If she says no, it will make me feel really awful and spoil the day.)  Do I want to be formally tied to another person?”  All this and a fourposter bed!  Reynolds has directed The Twilight of the Golds, Beautiful Thing and Wrinkles, among others for Diversionary. Funny, touching, timely and ingenious.  Underwritten by Joann Clark. &lt;br /&gt;
February 11-28, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday and Wednesday at 7:30pm &lt;br /&gt;
Friday &amp;amp; Saturday at 8:00pm&lt;br /&gt;

Suffering from the winter blues? Join Family Matters and tell the kids to go fly a kite. &lt;br /&gt;
Bring a picnic lunch for your family, lawn games, blankets, chairs, umbrellas, snacks, &lt;br /&gt;

Directions:  From Interstate 8 go west to the beaches.  Take the West Mission Bay Drive &lt;br /&gt;

Ingraham Street, keep forward and go over the bridge then turn right on Vacation Road. &lt;br /&gt;

first turn and drive through until you see the last restroom building.  We will be in &lt;br /&gt;
that area. &lt;a href=&apos;http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/parks/missionbay/skibeach.shtml&apos; target=_blank&gt;http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/parks/missionbay/skibeach.shtml&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
