Herland Sister Resources

Diversity House will be presenting Miss Brown To You in an outdoor concert on July 31st at Herland Sister Resources, 2313 NW 39th Street. The concert and day’s activities will benefit Diversity House, a non-profit organization that will house homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered young people between the ages of 18 and 25.

These people have been put out of their homes because of their sexual orientation. It can be a difficult thing to come out as a GLBT young person even with the support of your family. Diversity House wants to be a safe haven for these kids.

The money raised will be used to help give these kids a chance to get back on their feet and become productive citizens. Funds will be used to purchase a house, provide transportation, food and clothes as needed.

The afternoon will begin at 4 pm with a water bucket race, watermelon seed spitting contest, water balloon tossing, and water balloon run. The charge for entering each event is $3 or ll events for $10. At 6:30 enjoy hotdogs, tofu dogs, hamburgers and veggieburgers cooked on a grill.

The meal is provided for a sliding scale of $5 - $15. Bring your pennies to vote on your choice for Queen of the Sea, King of the Sea, and Beach Bunny (costumes welcome). The winners will be announced during the concert at the end of the evening.
