Berkshire Stonewall Picnic - Wednesday August 5

During the cooler months, the Berkshire Stonewall Community Coalition (BSCC) normally enjoys monthly indoor suppers in Pittsfield to meet new people and catch up on the latest news. During the summer, this is replaced with a Potluck Picnic, and it is coming up this Wednesday, August 5, at the Pittsfield State Forest. It will take place starting at 5:50 PM and continue to about 8:00 PM.

The BSCC will provide beverages, paperware and cutlery, plus hot dogs and hamburgers, plus veggie burgers for those who prefer them. You can bring a main dish, salad, fruit or dessert to share, so this will likely be more than just a picnic, possibly something close to a feast. You are welcome to bring friends, all are welcome.

The picnic will be held rain or shine, the backup being the nearby ski lodge in case our Summer Monsoon continues. The Pittsfield State Forest is located at 1041 Cascade Street, look for the Rainbow Flag and BSCC Banner. You can also call the BSCC Infoline which is 413.822.7268. or visit the Berkshire Stonewall website.

The regular potlucks will resume on Wednesday, September 2 at 7:00 at the UU Church in Pittsfield. You do not have to be a member to attend these events, though most of us are.

Berkshire Stonewall Potluck Gathering Wednesday, May 6

"It's been a long winter and I am ready to eat!"

It's social, it's delicious and it's open to all our extended GLBTQ family and friends in the Berkshires and surrounding villages and town. Don't be alone, come out of hibernation and share delicious food, great conversation and good times! (PS - anyone from North County available to give me a ride? That would be wonderful! email me at the contact address in the left column. Be sure to replace the "at" with the @ symbol.)

Bring a hot or cold dish.
Every First Wednesday of the month

Gay Events in the Berkshires - Dance Saturday, Potluck Wednesday

This song is for you.

Yes there is another GLBTQ Dance on Saturday from 8:00 pm-12:00 am sponsored by the Berkshire Stonewall Community Coalition at The Elks Club, 27 Union Street, Pittsfield (across from Barrington Stage Mainstage). You must be 18 to attend, and have ID. But you do not have to be a BSCC member to attend and all are welcome. There is a $5 charge to defray expenses.

Yumm...
Then there is the monthly BSCC Potluck Dinner on Wednesday, April 1 at 7:00 pm. Unitarian-Universalist Church, 175 Wendell Avenue, Pittsfield, MA. This event is open to the GLBTQ community and our friends. Bring a main dish, salad, veggie or dessert to share. Beverages are provided. There is always a need for volunteers (come early or stay late) to help host and welcome newcomers, to serve, and of course, the dreaded but important clean up afterwards.  

In honor of the impending arrival of April Fool's Day (always a good excuse to have a laugh at aourselves) we have posted an assortment of funny ads by straight marketers trying to reach the GLBT market. Some of them hit the nail on the head, but others miss the mark by a mile. They appear under this post. Enjoy.
