Out at Lunch – 12/04 at Beckman Cafe

Out at Lunch
Friday, December 4th 12-1pm
Beckman Cafe (405 N. Mathews Ave, Urbana)
RSVP requested by 12/4 to dmbrown4@illinois.edu

“Out at Lunch,” happens once a semester for Ally Network members. Every December and May we choose to be “out” as allies together in a part of campus that traditionally has less visibility when it comes to LGBTQ awareness. This will be a casual social event, and there will be no formal presentation or discussion at this meeting.

Bring your lunch, or purchase it at the cafe! Supported by the Ally Network Training Committee. For questions and to RSVP, email Dawn Brown at dmbrown4@illinois.edu.
