Brown TBGALA-SF is pleased to announce an outdoor event.

WARNING: The organizer is a wimp. If the weather is bad - too cold and/or too wet - the organizer will not show up! If you are of hardier stock, you may want to figure out a way to identify yourself to other Ivies and friends at the appointed place and time.

Even people who can't tell a rose from a rhododendron can appreciate the serenity of this Golden Gate Park oasis. Plant aficionados will marvel at the vast numbers of rare species from all over the world. Some - including the golden fuchsia from Chiapas, Mexico - are no longer found in their native habitats. The Mesoamerican cloud forest thrives in the local fog. Other attractions include an authentic patch of Australian bush, a Japanese moon-viewing garden, and a collection of primitive plants such as cycads, palmlike living fossils that predate the dinosaurs. Vast lawns are perfect for picnicking, strolling, and Frisbee throwing.

Members of Brown TBGALA-SF and all other Ivy League TBGALA alumni organizations are invited to join a docent-led tour of San Francisco Botanical Gardens. Meet at the bookstore at the east end of the gardens for the tour that begins at 10:30 AM.

At the bookstore, find the woman with the Brown sweatshirt to join the Ivy group. We look forward to seeing you there! SEE WARNING ABOVE!

October 23, 2009 (Friday) - BOSTON

10th Annual Spirit of Justice Award Dinner
6:30 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.

Boston Marriott Copley Place / (617) 236-5800
110 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02116
(Click here for Google Map.)

$175 per person. Buy individual tickets here.
---- or ----
Email Jamal Brown '08 by email or at (617) 426-1350 for more information about the DGALA Table.

In its 10th year, the Spirit of Justice Award Dinner is GLAD's flagship event attracting approximately 1,000 attendees from the Greater Boston area and beyond. The Spirit of Justice Award was created to recognize one individual whose work and achievements reflect a profound dedication to our ideal of a just society.

We're pleased to announce we'll be honoring Beth Robinson (Dartmouth '86), co-founder and chair of Vermont Freedom to Marry. Beth was enthusiastically selected by our board, staff and volunteers for the tremendous impact she has had on our country's marriage equality movement. Beginning with her pivotal role in the Baker case in Vermont which brought about the nation's first civil unions, and culminating dramatically last month in the nation's first legislative victory for marriage, these spectacular achievements would not have been possible without her leadership, vision, passion and unrelenting drive. It has been a pleasure for GLAD to work side-by-side with her and the Vermont Freedom to Marry Task Force to see our collective dreams come true!

Join us for an opportunity to learn more about how GLAD's work -- from its marriage equality victories in Massachusetts and Connecticut, to its recent challenge to the federal DOMA statute, to its new Transgender Rights Project -- makes it a national leader in the fight to end discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, HIV status, and gender identity and expression.

Reception 6:30 PM · Dinner 7:30 PM · Dancing 9:30 PM
