Empowering Spirits Foundation and MyOutSpirit.com invite you to
celebrate Coming Out Day on Sunday, October 11, 2009. This year's
theme is "Come Out Spiritually."
Empowering Spirits and MyOutSpirit have organized a national "voluntary redemptive service" [?] event for Coming Out Day, and we need your help!
October 11th is approaching fast. We
hope that in working side-by-side with our non-LGBT neighbors they may
come to see similarities rather than differences in each of us, and
that we can engage in dialogue through non-confrontational means to
promote equality.
We are finalizing events in the following cities listed below and are
looking for individuals who can donate some time to help create change by connecting on a human level. If you
are unable to participate but know of someone who may be interested please
share this information.
Please email [email protected]rg if you are interested.
The following events are linked to their Facebook event pages.
Contact Empowering Spirits to RSVP if you do not have Facebook. Email [email protected] or call (858) 523-8201.

A couple of things:
1. More Light Presbyterians (www.mlp.org) is having our National Conference on Labor Day weekend in Nashville. I'd like to be able to have some materials available for folks there to promote MOS.com and to promote this NCOD service project. MLP has started "Rainbow Corps" as a service project, so far every November-ish in New Orleans, but the larger More Light network could certainly gin up some service projects around NCOD.
2. Add Ann Arbor, MI to the list. I've already started the ball rolling.
