April 2006 Herland Events
Potluck Cookout
On Saturday, April 8th, at 5 pm (after our work day), we’re going to fire up the grill and fix some hot dogs and not-dogs (vegetarian dogs) and play some backyard games. If it’s raining we’ll play indoor games and cook the hotdogs inside. We’ll provide the dogs, fixins, plates, drinks, etc. You bring a side dish or dessert. Even if you can’t come for work day, please join us for the cookout.
Work Day
It’s time for pruning, planting, and painting. Gather your rake, clippers, and work gloves and join us on Saturday, April 8th for some good outdoor work that will leave you feeling refreshed. We will be trimming bushes, cleaning out flower beds, planting new flowers, and touching up some outside paint. We will be starting at 11 am but come whenever you can. If you hang out till about 5 pm, we’ll fire up the grill (see above).
L word Video Night
On Saturday, April 15, 7 pm, we will watch the fifth and sixth episodes of the L word, Season 3. In the last two episodes, Jenny returned to LA with her very butch girlfriend and her friends don’t know what to think. Tina went to work for Helena Peabody and Bette is still unemployed—friction there! Bette went to Washington for a Senate hearing on the arts and was propositioned by a tough female senator. Alice is still working on letting go of Dana, who has a suspicious lump in her breast. Kit is falling for Bette and Tina’s “manny.”
As always, bring something to snack on and join us for another two episodes of America’s best lesbian soap opera.
Talking Circle: Our Mothers
On Saturday, April 22, at 5 pm at Herland we are going to have an informal potluck dinner and “talking circle.” This is a time for women to reflect and share about their mothers. Particularly if you have lost your mother, you may want to share your thoughts and feelings in this safe and comfortable environment.
Scrabble Games
Join us on Sunday, April 23, at 1 pm at Herland for a few games of Scrabble and some pizza. Our competitors range from the novice to the expert so come and play at your preferred level.
