VALENTINE’S DAY GALA & FUNDRAISER

VDGalaRainbowDanceDateline: PISCATAWAY, N.J., February 9, 2013 — Despite threats of heavy snow, the New Jersey GLBT community turned out at the Radisson Piscataway, to join the celebration at The Pride Center of New Jersey’s Valentine’s Day Gala & Fundraiser.

They were treated to wonderful hors oeuvres at the Cocktail Hour, followed by a delicious dinner and desserts. And they danced the night away to the extraordinary music of DJ Adams.

Partygoers were blown away by the 60 plus high quality prizes offered at the Silent Auction. The winner of the 50/50 walked away with more than $225. And one lucky partygoer won the drawing for a 43” Samsung Flat Screen TV.

As the festivities wound down near midnight, many of the Gala attendees were heard to say, “I’m definitely coming back again next year.”

Volunteer Recruitment Underway

Through the Infoline, the dozens of support groups, programs, social activities and special events at the Center, we make it possible for people just “coming out” to feel less alone and frightened. For those of us who are already “out,” PCNJ provides a wealth of information, programs and services. Read the rest of this entry »
