This year’s theme Creating Change 2K10 summarizes in 2 little words what the North County LGBT Coalition has been doing and is continuing in 2010. 2009 was an incredible year for the Coalition and its members. The Coalition established more relationships with the city of Oceanside and various community services. We collaborated with San Diego to hold the August Provost Memorial, and expanded our diversity training; with the 1st City of Oceanside, Fallbrook Family Health Center, and Tri City Hospital training sessions. We presented the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Conference, held the 2nd Pride @ the beach (which attracted over 2,000 attendees), and held the 1st Annual GSA Awards, just to name a few. As you can see, your tax-exempt membership can make a difference in the quality of life of the LGBT community. You don’t have to be LGBT to be a member or activist. You don’t even have to live in San Diego’s North County. We accept contributions from anywhere in the world. We will continue to use money raised from the memberships to give our LGBT community a voice and help create a safer environment for our children and families by offering more educational programs and social events. As a thank you, we will continue to provide you with special Membership perks. We will post on our website the current and up to date perks. These will include discounts on services, restaurants, and early announcements and opportunities. Please join us in Creating Change 2K10 for only $20 each. Pay via the Internet... Pay via snail mail... Questions? Call or Email Tina Leight-Roades

1st Annual Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) Awards The GSA AWARDS 2009 was an incredible success. The North County LGBT Coalition would like to thank all of you for the wonderful outcome of this event. We thank the GSA's: Mira Costa College, Carlsbad High School, Ramona High School, Rancho Buena Vista High School, and Oceanside High School, for sharing their stories with us. We thank their advisers for their collaboration and hard work with our LGBT youths by creating and supporting a safer environment in our schools. We thank our Special Guests and speakers;:Nicole Ramirez and Ron Goetz for taking the time to participate, but also the School Board of trustees that have came and showed their support. A special thanks to Solana Beach Councilmember Dave Roberts for his participation throughout the Awards. Finally, we would like to thank our Sponsors Imperial Court of San Diego, San Diego Pride, Urban Mo's Bar & Grill and Pride @ the beach! that made the $300 contribution to each GSA possible. The Coalition will work to make sure that next year GSA event will become even more inclusive and representative. Help us to grow this experience so that LGBT students in our County can finally study in a safer and welcome environment free from hate and discrimination.

****** Attendance nearly triples for Thank You North County!!! When we started planning this event, we had no idea it would increase this much from last year's 800 attendees. It was estimated that we had at least 2,000 attendees as well as 4 food vendors and 50 booths. What an amazing day! The weather was perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better day. Again, thank you to all of our volunteers, sponsors, vendors and stage speakers and performers. Everyone made it a wonderful time for our community. What was even more exciting was how many people were just at the beach and came in to join us and have fun. We are truly reaching out to not only our community but North County as a whole. Below are just a few pictures from the event. More to come. If you didn't make it, we hope you will join us for next year's Pride @ the beach! 2010. We will be announcing the date in the coming weeks. Should be around the same time. Sincerely, Board of Directors
***** Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Coalition's booth at San Diego Pride.
