BAAAAH-RAM-EWE - WE WANT YOU... TO VOLUNTEER FOR THE APIQWTC 2015 LUNAR NEW YEAR BANQUET - YEAR OF THE SHEEP!!!
Every spring, a small, dedicated group puts on APIQWTC's biggest party and fundraiser of the year. Without the help of our awesome Banquet volunteers, APIQWTC would not be able to provide scholarships for the up-and-coming leaders of our community, support other LGBTQ groups in the Bay, host social events and meet-ups, and sponsor like-minded causes that advance our rights and visibility.
By volunteering for just an hour or two during the Banquet, you can help make the Banquet more fabulous and successful.
Do you have time to help out with the entertainment program, silent auction, raffle, registration, etc.? We would love to hear from you and we will work with whatever interests and time you can offer during the event.
Please contact Joanne at joanne at apiqwtc dot org with your availability.
Greetings Talented and Generous APIQWTC Community!

This year’s funds will support QueeRoc, the AROC Arab queer immigrant-led committee. QueeRoc aims at providing a space for Arab-identifying lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals in the Bay Area to meet for the purpose of community building and resource sharing through informal exchange of experiences and knowledge as well as social activities.
We enthusiastically invite you to contribute your talents, skills and resources to our auction and raffle!!
What can I donate, you ask? SERVICES SKILLS ARTWORK GIFT CERTIFICATES JEWELRY HOME ITEMS CHILDREN/PET GIFTS and MORE!! (Donations are tax deductible.)
