What an incredible start to Pride weekend! After a joyful and energetic Pride trivia on Thursday, we enjoyed an incredible coming out convo with Cait and Kate, productive writing time with ***rwriters, and an absolutely incredible Open Mic hosted by Lizz Shine, where our beloved manager Shea Robinson launched her second book and the new edition of her first book. We LOVE our community and all the ways people show up for each other here!

For the rest of our Pride Month programming, check out the events tab on our website.

Trivia, Open Mic, and the coming out convo were all hosted by our nonprofit partner, ASATTCI! They have an incredible team of volunteers and leaders who really care about each other and making Elk Grove's third space as safe and welcoming as possible. Want to get involved?
