Pride Week event.
Guelph Pride week is quickly approaching and I am emailing you to notify you of our upcoming events. There are a number of exciting events that we have planned for this year’s festivities. I have listed below all of our 2014 events which can also be accessed at guelphpride.com/2014. All events will be wheelchair and scooter accessible.
I welcome you to connect with us before, during, and after the week via Twitter (@PrideGuelph), via our Facebook Group (“Official Guelph Pride”), via e-mail (chair@guelphpride.com), and whichever other social networking platforms you utilize. I would also ask that you distribute our events across your networks to engage even more people in Guelph Pride than ever before.
I would like to specifically highlight our Guelph Pride Dance which will be kicking off Guelph Pride Week THIS SATURDAY at the University of Guelph. The doors will open at 8pm and there will be lots of exciting new aspects to this event, including a photo booth! This event will take place in Peter Clark Hall in the basement of the University Centre. Advanced tickets are $10 and can be purchased at 10Carden (across from City Hall) and at Wyndham Art Supplies. There will also be awesome raffle prizes, as always. If you can only come to one Guelph Pride event, come to this one!
