CELEBRATE! Happy Birthday SC BLACK PRIDE!

In about two weeks, the 2009 SC Black Pride Weekend is here --- June 18-21, 2009!   And as our theme states, we are, "United 4 Change!" With an exciting line-up, we are celebrating the genius, diversity and beauty of theAfrican American lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning citizens in South Carolina and elsewhere. See us at www.southcarolinablackpride.com. We invite you to check out and attend ALL of our upcoming Pre-Pride Events. In particular, get ready,  our Ms. & Mr. SC Black Pride Pageant, is Friday, June 12th, at PT's Cabaret, 1101 Harden Street, Columbia, SC, 10PM - 2 AM, $10 admission. Also, this year, I've decided that since I'm turning 44 and Black Pride is 4 years old, I'm going to ask friends and supporters to NOT give me birthday gifts & cards BUT instead wish SC Black Pride Happy Birthday by donating any amount. Come by the twin birthday celebration (see attached flyers) on June 16th, 7-9 PM, at the Harriet Hancock Center, 1108 Woodrow Street, Columbia, SC (free admission) and/or mail your contribution to: South Carolina Black Pride, Inc. P.O. Box 8191 Columbia, SC 29202 If you want to make sure your donation is tax-deductible make it out to "IFBP" (International Federation of Black Prides) and then mail it or bring it. Take care and Have a Great Week! Your Friend, Todd Shaw Chair, SCBP
