2021-12-12 12:00 - 15:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | SF Oasis, 298 11th St, San Francisco, CA, 94103, US
LDG is proud to celebrate 25 years of service with an end of year party at Oasis in SoMa. Join us for drinks, catered eats, entertainment, and you the community.
Relax in the cigar lounge, visit the bootblack, get a commemorative run pin, have your picture taken; or just enjoy the food, drink, and company.
Highlights of the celebration:
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will bestow a blessing.
State Senator Scott Weiner will read an official proclamation and speak.
Supervisors Matt Haney and Honey Mahogany will speak.
Catered bites provided by Mama Bear
Founded in 1996 to serve the needs of the kinky gay men’s community, LDG invites people from all walks of life to participate in our monthly programs. Our programs aim to educate, titillate, and entertain, a couple have even marked turning points in the local community.
We are an all volunteer organization. Each year has been a testament to the dedication of our volunteers. They set out chairs, and re-rack them in a bucket brigade. They pass around plastic canisters for your generous donations. Volunteers take ALL your clothes and hand back a paper ticket at Folsom and Dore. The professors, professionals, college kids, and lawyers; everyone who takes the time, gives what they can—we thank you.
