First impressions are quite important, which is why SUNY Ulster wants to kick off our Pridesgiving holiday event with a bang. On campus this November 20th we are having a potluck feast to bring together people of our community that may not be otherwise looking forward to the holiday of Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately, it was brought to the attention of the LGBTQA Association that a few of our students, whom we are quite proud of and want nothing more than to support, didn’t have any prospective plans for the upcoming big food & football holiday. The association advisor Brandon Burnett quickly began setting up an all-inclusive event that everyone in our community, whether LGBTQ themselves or simply an ally, could attend comfortably and happily.
Add to our Potluck!
So now that you know, are you just dying to share your grandma’s famous stuffing recipe with us? Well, then you’re in luck because this event is Potluck! Anyone and everyone that can come is invited to bring their favorite dish or even just pick up something to share, that is what the Thanksgiving spirit was founded on after all! Bring that stuffing that will make your grandma proud and tell everyone all about her, better yet, bring her along! Everyone from the community is welcome to join in and there is a quick and easy form you can fill out to bring decorations, desserts, drinks, supplies, or whatever kind of food you want to share.
The holidays can often mean displacement from home for many due to family issues or other circumstances beyond their control. In an effort to end the discomfort this brings for some of our student colleges, we would like to invite you to join us for some good food and great company this upcoming Tuesday, November 20th in the campus life dining hall from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Those who are able to make it are happily invited to stick around afterward if they want to keep the holiday banter going with newfound friends and allies.
We want to keep Pridesgiving going!
This is the first SUNY Ulster Pridesgiving holiday event and first impressions mean more than you know so your attendance could help us make this an annual event for the community to enjoy together.
This occasion is a chance for you to come and show your support to the members of our college community that you may see every week. There are lots of friends to be made and a lot to learn about lifestyles you may not encounter every day, so come on down and be a part of Pridesgiving with us.
