Where are these events?
Events are hosted at different venues across the Highland Lakes such as businesses, homes, restaurants, and other public establishments.
What is the cost to attend?
Most socials, mixers and mingles are free to attend. Fundraisers such as our recent Gay Prom will have a ticket fee. Our generous donors will sometimes buy passes to give away free of charge based on requests from those who need them.

That varies according to who is hosting the mixers and mingles. Some pick up the entire cost, while others ask that participants bring a covered dish to share and their own beverages.

Where do my donations go?
