  • This bistro is full of great surprises. We are going to a place we have fixed up just for you…like going to camp in a cabin in the woods! With a big glowing fireplace! We will eat wonderful stews and beans, bread and goodies. 
  • Special very local guest star—storyteller, comedian and gamester—Wood Berry can’t wait to entertain us!! Don’t miss it, I have heard what he plans! 
  • Come to GLSO Friday by 7:00 sharp. We will be leaving right at 7:00. If you will be late call me for the address where we are going and you can meet us there.
  • Bring a friend. Sit around the fire with senior buddies for laughs and fun! 
  •  (I’ll have Pit with me for later! Woody’s never played Pit. This could be fun!) 

This will be the best Bistro ever!
Missed you last time! Can’t wait to see you all again!

Are you part of the gay and the gray? June Meeting

Posted on by

GLSO is bringing LGBT seniors together to talk about quality of life in Lexington for our silver treasures!  You are invited to be part of this important conversation on Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 7:00pm at the Pride Center on 389 Waller Avenue, Suite 100, Lexington, KY 40504.

This is nothing fancy or formal.  As a matter of fact, we invite you to bring a covered dish to share with the group, put your feet up, and simply tell your story.

“We know there are many LGBT older adults living in Lexington; we just don’t know who they are.  It is easy for them to be over looked by aging services, because many still assume that people over a certain age are all straight.  It will be very important to hear from our LGBT elders about what is good in their lives, and what they might have a need for.  We should never assume we know what is best for someone else; we should listen to what they tell us.”  Troy Johnson, MSW, Director of Programs and Services for the Nursing Home Ombudsman Agency and Chair of the Bluegrass Elder Abuse Prevention Council

 

If you are over 55, gay, lesbian, bi, or trans, we want to hear from you!  We want to know how you are doing, and what concerns you might have about life as a senior in Lexington. Finally! Professionals in aging services are beginning to take an interest in the concerns of Lexington’s LGBT seniors!  We hope to learn from each other and teach them how to better address our needs and concerns.

We hope to see you soon.

We believe that it is great to get out and have company doing it.  If this sounds like something you might be interested in, give us a call at 859-253-3233.  We are actively seeking cost friendly ideas to have fun.

Come join us!  We are now 20 persons strong and have lots of ideas!  We came up with the following ideas of things to do: Dancing, Music, Cultural activities, Movies (Drama, Comedy, and Horror), Cincinnati Orchestra, Ballet, Theater, Sports, Musical Theater, Reading Book Club, Crafts, Drag Shows, Drag King Shows, Natural Bridge, Fishing, Tour of Rood and Riddle, Trail Riding, Picnic, Hiking, Art Show at Woodland,  Pot Luck, and Shakespeare in the Park.

We have already gone to the movies and are planning these outings:

Big Band, March 31st at the Singletary Center, 7PM.  FREE.  Meet at the bench in front of the ticket booth at 6:30.  I’ll have an arrow sign.

Pot-Luck at the Pride Center, 389 Waller Ave, Lexington, April 20, 7PM.  Call Ginger at 859-253-3233 or email ginger@glso.org to add your dish to the menu.

Rolex Horse Event at the Kentucky Horse Park, April 28th.  It is $35.00 but worth it.  Meet at the Gatehouse, far left side.  Look for someone with an arrow sign at 9:00AM.  We will wait until 9:30, then go the “the lake”.   We’ll still have the arrow sign  anyone is late. Look for us.  Don’t forget to bring a chair and be prepared to do lots of walking.
