We all made it through the holidays, Happy New Year!

We had to cancel our annual Holiday Party due to predicted winter weather, but promised to bring something to you later in January and we are making good on that promise! :)

Since it’s a new year, with some new (old?) challenges headed our way, and a pending inauguration, we decided to redirect and have a “Joyful Resilience” Party & Potluck instead!

Joyful Resilience: Bouncing back and thriving in adversity or the ability to feel joy and accomplishment while working through challenges.

All LGBTQ+ folks, friends, and family are invited. There will be music, games, and good food!

This will be a potluck so please feel free to bring snacks or something to share. Please note that this will be a no-alcohol event and bringing something is not necessary to attend.

Please RSVP if you are planning to attend by emailing and including the following in your response:

1. Your name

2. How many will be attending

3. Will you be brining food (Yes / No)

4. If Yes, what will you be bringing

PFLAG Washburn-Chequamegon Bay Chapter invites you to the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project's talk on Queer History in the Northwoods.

The event will be offered in-person at our LGBTQ Resource Center and virtually.

For more on the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project visit their website at https://www.wislgbthistory.com/.

Parents, family, friends, and members within the LGBTQ+ community are invited to attend this PFLAG chapter event. “Getting Through the Holidays” focuses on showing up for transgender and LGBTQ+ family members at family holiday gatherings. Whether it's helping grandma remember the right pronouns, figuring out what to say about Uncle Joe's openly transphobic comments, or finding a way to make the gathering bearable for a closeted youth. Ben Greene will share a variety of helpful tools and hopeful anecdotes about his own story coming out as a teenager in a small town.

Ben is a transgender advocate and educator who has spoken internationally on topics surrounding transgender inclusion. Ben has devoted his career to spreading empathy, education, and storytelling around the trans experience, and has spoken for companies, hospitals, government groups, and over 100 PFLAG chapters sharing what it means to be transgender and how to show up as an ally.

Come in person to watch this virtual event on the big screen together

Our LGBT fishing club, Queers on Piers, will meet this Thursday at the Ashland Marina at 6:30pm until at least 8:30pm.  Worms and a limited number of poles will be provided.

Based on the experience of last weekend, the perch (up to 10"), pike (up to 26"), and various sunfish (up to 12") are all biting with great enthusiasm! 

Chapter president Elise is originally from the cheese-forsaken wastes Below, and as such has an insatiable appetite for bullhead, gladly trading her catch of other species for specimens of the humble little catfish.

Rocks. They are everywhere and probably one of the most common things to collect during our travels. They are foundational to ecosystems, beautiful, strong, and often inspirational.

Join PFLAG as we participate in an evening of creativity. A selection of Lake Superior sourced rocks will be available, but please feel free to bring your own inspirational rock(s) to paint if you desire.

During the event a number of rocks will be painted and used by PFLAG as paper weights during our many tabling events.

Your creativity will not be taken for granite! :) We look forward to seeing you!
