Did you know we do Rapid Oral anonymous testing before or immediately after the meetings. An appointment (621-3794) is a good idea to ensure your space, but more'n likely you can just ask when you come. It's quick, painless, and a great way to make you feel secure. And, it's free. Why not give a call now?

Wanna spend your night with a bunch of pics on your computer or a great group of genuine, decent guys?

Come by, every Wednesday night.

coming next,

Wednesday, May 21
7-8:30

“Why is dating so damn hard?”

Does dating have to be so damn difficult? Why? Is there any way to make it bearable, enjoyable, possible without wanting run screaming to join a convent in Outer Mongolia? So what’s your problem in dating? We’ll be looking at real problems (some submitted by you if you send yours in by Tuesday, May 20) and, most important, we’ll be looking at real solutions from the “experts”…those who maybe have been to that nunnery and found better solutions. Sooo, drop an email with your question, and just maybe you won’t have to get fitted for that wimple and habit!

 

 

...just guys.

   How did you spend your night last Wednesday? There were 30 of us here, but we would have made room for you. Come join us!

Is it time to get out of the house?
Sort your sock drawer?
Change your life?  Time for you to get out?     
Meetings are American Sign Language/English interpreted.

Red Ribbon Library Cafe will be closed May 7 but reopens at 5:30 the following week for coffee, cookies, chat, a laugh at 1950's TV shows, and borrow a great gay read from the library shelves.
Come join the guys!

just friends is a just-started group of folk, male and female, who have offered an ear, a shoulder, a hand, and friendship on a one-to-one, peer basis. Lonely? Lost? Just down? Just need to share some stuff? When you need a friend and friends just pass you by, give Lew a shout, and you can be connected to someone who cares. For those of you who cannot make meetings, but have access to the net, this could be your touch with someone who would be glad to connect with you. You can decide if you want to share your name, your problems, your bad jokes, emails, or just a cup of coffee. The people are not counselors, docs or therapists, they're just friends. 621-3794 or the cell (with poor reception, sorry): 215-4594.

RED RIBBON LIBRARY CAFE



Wednesdays, 5:30-6:45

Come join us in a flashback to the 50's in our very own cafe where you can grab a cup of coffee, read a mag, munch on a cookie, and schmooze. Private HIV testing right here, and tables so you can curl up with a good book from the shelves of the library.

Check out the book and check out your new café!

...hanging We just hang together with no particular agenda. It's loose, it's casual, it's informal.

talking We want to feel comfortable saying what's on our minds. Sometimes we have a guest speaker, sometimes we discuss important stuff about relationships and being men.

laughing Sometimes we just have a good time enjoying good humor. There is an understanding that the fun is good-natured and not at anyone's expense. Here, respect is given and expected, and there's no room for gossip.

playing We like to play games together. Some nights we watch a movie. There are always refreshments. someone will bring in his latest kitchen creation, and we all get to sample the results...good or bad!

sharing We work to develop a real feel of sharing. When we accept without judgment, then we can share our feelings without fear.

caring We like one another, it's as simple as that. By caring about each other, we grow more comfortable with ourselves and learn that there are men who think we matter because we think they matter.

celebrating We recognize that we only go around once, and we choose to make the orbit something special. The group is a safe space to be who we are, experience new things, and to be happy doing it.

being...The old saying holds true here: "Want a friend? Be a friend." We creat the safe space we want to be in. We work to be the men we want to have as friends.

...just guys

Good men, good friends, good fun!

Join us! 
So when was the last time you had a decent date?

You have one now...this Wednesday night!
