As 2009 comes to and end, and we welcome in 2010,

there will be a few opportunities to show your support by

Volunteering for Equality!

Big Gay Cocktail Club

(Location will be revealed to those volunteering)

Equality Illinois is happy to announce that we will be the beneficiary organization

at this month’s Big Gay Cocktail Club (BGCC).

The BGCC is a monthly social/networking event that takes place at various bars

and clubs across Chicago.

Equality Illinois needs the help of two dedicated volunteers to help collect money

at the door and greet people at this event.

If you don’t already have plans for the celebration, consider spending the evening

with Equality Illinois and supporters at the annual New Year’s Eve party at

Sidetrack. Known as one of the most fun events on the Halsted Strip, we are

looking for a few volunteers that will help work the door. It won’t be all work –

everyone is guaranteed to have a fantastic time!

Equality Illinois’ 2010 Justice for All Gala

As you know, Equality Illinois’ Justice for All Gala (and Premier Reception) is the

largest and the most fun LGBT black-tie event in the Midwest, with over

1,000 people attending annually.

It’s not all work for the volunteers: we will ensure that you are fed and that you

have a chance to enjoy yourself throughout the night.

There are many volunteer positions, and they will be filled on a first come, first

served basis, so if you have a time or position that you would like to work, please

don’t delay in letting us know. And tell your friends –

we can always use another helping hand!
