June Schedule: Movie: Touching The Void

Description:
"Kevin Macdonald's tremendous yet matter-of-fact docu-reconstruction of two mountaineers' nightmarish encounter with the Peruvian Andes unexpectedly bridges genres. It's a buddy movie, a horror story, a boy's own adventure, and a near etaphysical meditation on the limits of human endurance."-Jessica Winter, Village Voice. (UK 2003) 106 min.

Singles Only Dinner

Deadline for registration: June 17 (firm!)
Members: free admission
Non-members: $2.00 participation fee (payable at the dinner)

WRIB's Singles Dinners are not to be missed. There is always a great bunch of super Singles in attendance, and the place is just hoppin'! And here's your chance to be part of this terrific event. Your lovely host, Susan C, and her equally lovely co-host, Susan P, invite you to join them once more for an unbelievably fabulous evening with an unbelievably fabulous group of Singles.

As always, there'll be an icebreaker game, wonderful prizes, and all the other stuff and nonsense you've grown to know and love -- AND a few special Pride Week surprises, whoo-hoo! -- and we do it all just for you Singles!

We're always working to keep the dinners fresh and exciting, and to that end, the June dinner will have a theme -- "Bursting with Pride." Dress to the theme (rainbows look good on everyone!), act to the theme, do whatever you want... or simply come as you are. It's up to you! The idea is to have a terrific evening, and it's as simple as that.

And remember, the first person to send in her RSVP always wins a prize. Unbelievably fabulous!

We'll be dining in a central location, and full details will be provided to guests when they RSVP. Because the Singles Dinners are so popular (we usually have 40 or more in attendance), we can't accommodate "surprise" guests, and RSVPs are required for this event. Remember, the registration deadline is JUNE 17. This is firm. We mean it. Really. No amount of pleading, begging, or outrageous bribery will get you in after that (nope, not even the usual KitchenAid stand-mixer, blue, with all the attachments -- this is Pride Week we're talkin' about, people!)

Admission to this event is FREE for members. Well, you have to pay for your meal and drinks, of course. Non-members pay a $2.00 participation fee at the dinner.

For your convenience, WRIB dance tickets will be sold during the Singles dinner for the "at the door" price of $8 for members and $10 for non-members. Bring exact change if you can -- it's always appreciated.

Dyke March Route

MARCH WITH WRIB

Please join our contingent and March with Us !!!

WRIB will be Marching in the 2nd position of the March !

Bring your friends! Bring your Pride !!

Our theme for this year will be the Unity and Diversity that makes up WRIB and our community.

Pride theme is Bursting with Fruit Flavours!!

So wear your favourite rainbow attire, bring a sign, a watergun – and lots of your friends!!! And join us in celebration. We encourage marchers to bring their drums, noise makers and WRIB Whistles.

The March begins at 2 PM.  We will be meeting around 1:30 pm.

Church St is to be barricaded at Charles so the Honoured Group will be on Church at the south side of Charles.  The street will be chalked with assigned numbers and the Honoured Group is M1.  WRIB will be M2.

The WRIB banner will be held high on Church Street between Charles and Hayden, closer to Hayden than Charles. 

The Older Lesbians are the honoured group for the March and they have invited us to bring our drums, noise makers and WRIB Whistles, and join them in being wild women drumming
to the music. In addition if there are members who can not walk the entire route, they can always sit on the trailer if there is room.  If you are carrying something which you want / need carried, then it should be placed in the O / L van prior to the March, they will be on Hayden close to Church, and will be there before noon.

The signs we had last year will be made available again if people would like to carry them.

CUBES's is Located on the north east corner of Maitland and Yonge Street. Mix and mingle with old and new friends and meet the CUBE staff and patrons.
