On Saturday, December 13th, the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center (MGLCC) will host a cocktail party celebrating its 25th anniversary.
The party runs from 8 to 11 p.m. There will be food and drink, as well as a special presentation on the center’s history at 9 p.m. The event is sponsored by RockCares: The Norris-Rocaberte Family Foundation, and although admission is free, donations to keep the center going are encouraged.
From the MGLCC’s announcement:
“So much has changed in our lives and in our culture since 1989. MGLCC has played a significant role in helping bring about that positive change in the Mid-South region. We want to take a moment to honor that service and to be grateful for the lives we have impacted just by offering a refuge to our community. … We remind folks all the time that we are older than the average LGBT community center in the country and STILL one of very few in the South! So let’s enjoy some food and drink, reminisce about the old days, celebrate our triumphs and remember our losses, and take just one night to congratulate each other for making MGLCC such a special place.”
