First Annual East Side Pride Chaka-Khan-Ukkah Festival!



Our first annual Chaka-Khan-Ukkah Festival was another fun East Side evening!  The Clarkston Woman's Club was a beautiful event space (despite some heating difficulties), and we had a good turnout to celebrate the end of the holiday season.  We had the pleasure of being visited by some of our local East Side political leaders - Georgia State Representative Karla Drenner and Clarkston's new mayor, Emanuel Ransom, as well as Clarkston council members Jean Shepherd Brown.  And, our pay-to-play "white elephant" gift exchange raised $115 for Atlanta YouthPride!  

We will be getting together sometime in the next two weeks to plan out East Side Pride's calendar and goals for the rest of 2011.  If you would like to share your ideas, e-mail EastSidePride@yahoo.com, and we'll work out a time and place together.
