Join Us in Beautiful Asheville!

Our host committee members Jerri Goldberg, Eva Hartman, Dan Ray, and Ira Schultz invite you to a reception to be held Saturday, May 10, from 6-8 PM at Eleven on Grove, close to the Grove Arcade in the same building as Scandals, North Carolina's largest LGBT nightclub! Plan to make an evening of it--attend the reception, go out to dinner, then return to Scandals (your ticket to our event will get you into Scandals free!). There's no better place than Asheville in May!

We'll have wonderful drinks and refreshments along with music by well-renowned chanteuse Pamala Stanley. Pamala will also do a special high-energy performance in the Crystal Room immediatedly following our event. Rep. Susan Fisher will be on hand as well to answer questions about our historic anti-bullying bill to protect our young people in schools across the state.

Please RSVP by clicking yes in the RSVP box to your right and making a generous donation in support of Equality North Carolina. If you make a gift of $150 or more, we'll make you a sponsor! Sponsors will be acknowledged both on our website and at the event, plus sponsorship is a great way to show your proud support for LGBT equality! Our initial sponsors are listed below.
