Tentatively, the schedule looks like this: Friday, May 16 Participants will be arriving in the late afternoon and will register. Later that evening, participants will enjoy dinner and accompanied by the keynote address. In between these two events, you may have the opportunity to enjoy the festivities of UMM's Spring Fling Weekend, particularly the Battle of the Bands. Following dinner will be a cabaret, consisting of performers from UMM and other campuses....like yours. That's right, we want you to perform in the cabaret. Bring any special talent you may have, or talent you wish you had, and show it off on our stage. Not only will you be entertaining, but you will receive a reduction in the registration fee. What a deal! The night will close with Pride participants relaxing in an atmosphere of our new local coffee house with a band that E-Quality is especially fond of, All Pretty Horses . Saturday, May 17 The day will start with a mid-morning brunch, and will be followed by fantastic workshops including such speakers as Shaun Dorisian, Beth Zemsky, Judith Ulseth, Victor Raymond, Debra Davis, Rev. Martha Juillerat, Rev. Dick Lundy, Mark Schuller, and others. The themes of the workshops include PFLAG's Project Open Mind; community organizing; Log Cabin Republicans and the gay community; GLBT issues in the media; multiculturalism; bisexuality; transgender issues; Christianity & Homosexuality; and Ageism , to name a few. After the workshops, you will be able to relax and enjoy UMM's Spring Fling activities, namely, the so-called Tin Man Triathlon and the Circle of Nations Indian Association's Pow Wow. Also available will be other activities on the UMM campus like swimming, tennis, and networking with fellow Pride participants. The day will close with a Pride dance on the UMM campus facilities, so bring your dancing shoes! Sunday, May 18 The last day of our Pride weekend will be completed with a BBQ at a local park, and as a special treat, we will also include a performance by a Twin Cities coffee shop favorite, Heather Nelson. Heather, who is currently a student at UMM and an active member of E-Quality, woos her listeners by singing favorites by singers such as Indigo Girls and Melissa Etheridge, and also sings some of her own heart-felt music. Following this wil be long good-byes, exchanging phone numbers, kisses and hugs... you get the idea.
