Dear Friends & Neighbors of the Gay & Lesbian Community:
We would like
to welcome all of our senior gay men & lesbians to join us at Gray Alliance.
What is Gray Alliance?
Gray Alliance
is a non-profit group of seniors ranging from 50 & up. You do not have to be
exactly 50 or 100 years of age to join us. Membership is currently over 50
members and constantly growing.
Why Gray Alliance?
A casual
informal way of Senior gays & lesbians to meet & share conversation, ideas, &
lots more. No one is ever obligated to attend all functions. They are encouraged
to attend at their convenience, as their own schedules will allow. We attend
functions to have fun, make and be with friends and family!
What does Gray Alliance do?
Gray Alliance
people have a monthly dinner out in the local Fresno area. We also have a
monthly pot luck dinner at one of our member's homes. Gray Alliance also puts
out a monthly newsletter listing the locations of the dinners, member
birthdays, photos of the previous month’s events as well as other interesting
tidbits of information.
See Calendar or read NewsLink for upcoming activities, or contact the
Facilitators.

How much is the membership fee?
“ZERO” There is
NO membership fee to join Gray Alliance. We may ask for a Bi-monthly donation to
provide for our Gray Alliance mailing list. This includes postage, paper,
envelopes, labels, etc. for our members that do not have a computer.
How do I contact Gray Alliance to join?
If you are
interested in meeting other adult gay men & lesbians throughout the Central
Valley, then all you need to do is call one of the phone numbers
above. You can also e-mail Renee at
rpotik@comcast.net
Please
Note:
Gray
Alliance does not judge anyone by their level of education or income, political
views, religion, single, coupled or looks. Gray Alliance maintains a respect of
each other’s different views and ideas, and way of living in harmony with our
society. All we expect in return are smiling faces & some pleasant hospitality
from one another. Who said “being Gray & Gay is Dull?”, Believe me, within every
Gray Alliance member are silver linings that are admired. I have discovered that
there is a lot to learn, and very interesting conversations from one another due
to life's maturity & adventures that may come with age.
