PFLAG Seattle Chapter is looking for a few motivated and passionate folks to serve on or help the Board of Directors. The current board consists of 5 people who manage several projects, meetings, events, speaker requests, and support inquiries. We could use YOUR help! If you feel passionately about the well-being, safety, and acceptance of the LGBTQ community in and around Seattle, please consider joining the board or serving as an ambassador. We will provide adequate training and resources. Let’s all work together to continue to make PFLAG Seattle a safe and nurturing organization for those who need our services. Parents, LGBT persons and Allies are encouraged to apply!

It was very exciting for PFLAG Seattle to be a part of the Seattle Foundation’s GiveBIG fund-raising campaign for the first time this year. Thanks to all who made donations on the one day of giving on May 15. We raised more than $1,500, which will help us pay for things like the rent for our support-meeting space and the PFLAG booklets that we provide for free to LGBT persons and their families and friends at schools, community festivals and other events throughout the year.

In addition to your donations, we’ll get extra funds from GiveBIG’s $1 million stretch pool. We don’t yet know what that amount will be, but we will welcome whatever amount comes our way.

Thanks again for supporting PFLAG and the LGBT community we serve.

The struggle for human rights is front and center in Washington state. Referendum 74 will have a profound affect on our families. For the next five months Seattle PFLAG will work tirelessly to ensure our LGBTQ loved ones gain the equal rights and dignity they deserve. WE NEED YOUR HELP. Click the link and become a member.

PFLAG Bellevue Chapter invites you to join us as we film our uplifting video that showcases our steadfast support for the LGBT community. We need a crowd of people standing (or sitting) in solidarity as these words are being said:

“To all the politicians who are running for office in 2012:
We are the parents, families, and friends of the LGBT community and we are listening to what you are saying about those we love. We are your constituents too! We are NOT the “insignificant few.”
We are united.
We are many.
We care.
And we are voting in November.
Please join us as we recognize that this is our year, this is our time, and it is indeed our privilege to claim the American Dream for our loved ones.”

There will be an aerial shot so we need as many of you as possible!
Children, babies, grandmas and grandpas are welcome. Dress is casual (no logos or words) but professional uniforms are a plus! (military, clergy, firefighter, police officer etc.) Please RSVP to nslmbrown@msn.com.
