Candle Light Vigil Wed, March 19th

There will be a candelight vigil in memorial of Maurice/Melissa Greennext Wednesday, March 19, at 6:15 P.M. Cielito Park (Campbell and 35th Ave.,). This is the transgendered youth who was shot and killed on the street two years ago. The family wants to hold these annual vigils to remember his life and keep attention on the case until the murderer is found.

There will be police escort there, so this will be a safe event. Please come show that the transgender community stands in solidarity with the family's efforts to solve this terrible crime. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Campbell+%26+35th+Ave,+Phoenix,+AZ

Sister Wisteria's Eggsplosion

March 22nd, join us at Icepick's 9 PM to 12 AM, for a fundraiser in Sister Wisteria Weisenheimer's memory. Of course that means, it's to raise funds for the Agape Network.

Savor Life - Holy Kareoke!

Well our first ever Holy Kareoke came and went without me I'm afraid. The sickness sprites did their worst and laid me up good this time.

But Sisters Odora, Atopa, Frankly and Aspirant Felicity teamed up with Novice Oralee for a good time, and raised over $500 for Aunt Rita's Foundation. An organization which distributes funds to a variety of HIV and AIDS prevention and treatment programs.

Doesn't Odora look fabulous? I think she stole that sunflower from Oralee! I hear her cookies went like hotcakes. We don't have a final count on how much the Sisters raised this year in the Savor Life events, but Novice Oralee sure has done herself proud, that much is certain. I look forward to attending the Savor Life Grand Soiree on the 15th and finding out! Hope to see you there!

Remembering those we've lost

Sometimes we are just silly balls of joy and energy. Other times it's important to pause and remember the lives of those who have been killed simply for being "different" such as an ethnic minority, sexual minority, transgender, etc.



Here are more details on some of those we've lost because they were being themselves:
