Dear Friends:
On Monday, October 13th, Columbia Outlaws will be hosting our Annual Coming Dinner in Lenfest Café from 6:00-9:00PM. This is an important day within the LGBT community, as we commemorate the freedom to be open and honest about who we are and who we love, both with those we care for and with the public in general.
Outlaws would like to cordially invite all of you to join us as we celebrate Coming Out Day. Regardless of your orientation, we would love to have you join us as we toast diversity and inclusion in society as well as the legal profession, and take a stand against intolerance, violence, shame.
Please feel free to invite spouses, partners, significant others, and friends.
We sincerely hope to see you there.
