Herland is proud to be among the ranks of only a handful of other lgbt organizations that have made it to the 25-year mark. A few large cities like New York and the San Francisco have centers that have lasted that long but OKC is one of the few outside the coasts that can boast such an accomplishment. It’s time to celebrate and look back over our achievements of the last 25 years.
The anniversary celebration will be held from 4:30—7 pm on Saturday, October 4, 2008, at Herland. The event begins with a reception where we will have hors d’oeuvres and drinks as we gather and visit. You can browse the 25th Anniversary scrapbook with pictures and stories sent in by Herlanders and watch videos of past Herland retreats and other events. Then, we’ll gather to honor past board members and volunteers ask some of you to share a few thoughts or stories about your times at Herland.
The focus of this event is to bring together old friends and enable folks to reconnect with some they may not have seen in a while.
It’s not too late to put together a story or a few photos to bring to the anniversary party. Just email the stories to us at herland@herlandsisters.org or bring them with you the afternoon of the celebration. We look forward to seeing you there!
