Seattle Black Pride (SBP) 2006 was a huge success because of community involvement. In less than a year the organization has had many accomplishments that include not only numerous successful community functions/events, and local/national publicity, but also: gaining federal non-profit status; the launch of a new HIV prevention program focusing on the needs of our community; and most recently acquiring an office space! Also please check out our recently updated website (www.seattleblackpride.org) with information on SBP, how to get involved, beautiful pictures from our events, and much more!

SBP 2007 will only be bigger and more fabulous if you get involved to help make a difference in your community. Making such a huge event successful means we need to start working together NOW! There is some way for everyone to be involved and to contribute towards making the success of Seattle Black Pride continue for many years to come.

So please, if you want to know the latest about the exciting happenings with SBP and how to get involved and make a difference, come to this meeting on Sunday October 8th, 4-6pm (please be on time, lots to discuss).

This will also be an opportunity for us to appreciate our current volunteers and have them share their experiences to encourage new volunteers to step up! Please spread the word!
