The FRIENDS OF EAGLE PLAZA will meet on Tuesday evening, February 25, 2020, from 6 to 8 pm, at the SF Eagle, 398 12th Street, in San Francisco.

Anyone 21+ is welcome, even if you haven’t been involved up to now.

The City of San Francisco has let us know about a new position available, as a Senior Community Development Specialist,  helping the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development’s efforts related to the funding of projects and programs in the City’s Cultural Districts.  It’s an important and demanding position; you can read more about it here.  

What has the the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District been doing since the Community Meeting last August?  Who is on the Board of Directors?  Who is the new District Manager?  How is the District doing financially?  What’s a CHHESS?  How close are we to building a Leather Cultural Center?  What are the new Committees?  How can folks become full Voting Members?  What else can folks do to help?

Answers to these other questions were on display at the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District Open House, held on Wednesday, February 12, 2020 at the SF LGBT Center in San Francisco.  

You can view the video of the event here!  The slide show (which is hard to see on the video) can be viewed here.
