Equality Iowa

The Center’s Sunday night fundraiser at the Garden nightclub was a huge success. Between the donations at the door, the raffle and the silent auction the event raised just over 1,400 dollars. The money will help keep the Center doors open. It will pay for rent, utilities and other costs.

The Center would like to extended a huge thank you to all of the people who made the event possible, the performers (of course) the garden for providing it’ the space, the volunteers and all the donors.

Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie talks about the Center

The first Bisexual Support Group meeting to be held at the Center has been scheduled for Thursday, August 13, 2009.  Meetings will then be held on the second Thursday of each month from then on.  Meetings will be moderated by Mark Metz.  We hope for a great turnout!

The CENTER WILL provide a voice and visibility to the un-served and under-served LGBT community, their supporters and families in Central Iowa. To work with progressive, supportive and allied groups to strengthen all of our work.
