Here’s the update on our December 2nd event. It will all be focused on Kevin. He will have an hour for a keynote speech about how he became an activist in the LGBTQA community, how he defines himself in that role as a Filipino-American, and what his contributions are towards the community and it’s impact on him, as well as how he thinks we can get more involved as a minority in supporting the LGBTQA community. There will be 30 minutes for Q&A, and 30 minutes after that for mingling. Also, there will be finger-food provided
