2007 Fall Homecoming
================================
Please forward this announcement to all
your queer and ally friends, especially if
they are former residents of the
Brazos Valley or former students/alumni
of our great schools and universities!
================================
Did you ever wish you could be Homecoming Royalty like Sissy Spacek and William Katt in Carrie? Or leather-n-lace Sockhop Royalty like John Travolta and Olivia Newton John in Grease? Or perhaps a pairing of Sissy with Olivia and William with John is more your style. It makes no difference!
BV QueSt is holding its annual Fall Homecoming - the homecoming like you never had - on Saturday, October 13 at Halo Bar at the corner of Main and William Joel Bryan in Historic Downtown Bryan. Scheduled for the Saturday immediately after National Coming Out Day, BV QueSt wants this to be a great Homecoming and reunion party in one, so please spread the news to all your queer/ally friends who have a connection to the Brazos Valley. Let them know soon so that they can mark their calendars and make their hotel reservations now.
Fall Homecoming is the chief fundraiser for BV QueSt’s Scholarship Fund for Brazos Valley students who have made a positive difference in the queer/ally community. With a silent auction, tasty homemade treats, and fantastic music, dancing, and performances, Fall Homecoming is for the entire community. And it’s tax deductible, too, because the IRS has granted BV QueSt 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization status. Go to www.bvquest.org for more information.
