JULY 13, 2009The Pride Team would like to thank the community for its enthusiastic support of last week's Pride Celebration. We hope that everyone had a fantastic time, and that our festivities have helped to energize and unite our community.

We would particularly like to express our gratitude to the volunteers, sponsors, and vendors who worked so hard to make our event possible. It was heart-warming to work with so many of you who gave up sleep to help us set up at the park, drove for endless hours to staff booths, donated your money and talents to our fundraising efforts, and generally went out of your way to contribute to our community's moment in the sea-hugged sunshine. Thank you all---your efforts made Pride special, the best yet.

We hope to see each and every one of you at future community gatherings---and at next year's Pride, which is already on our minds!
