The COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN! 14 DAYS

WORKSHOP SPOTLIGHT: Community Workshop: Foundational Principles in the Development of Intimate Relationships for TGNCNB folks | 10-11:15 AM for Ages 18+

Forming intimate relationships can be both exciting and scary at the same time. Often, we don't know where to start or how to approach others about sex and intimacy. Join Gina Pellicci (she/her) and Evelyn Parker (they/she) from Inner Lakes Therapy as they discuss important principles in developing intimate relationships for the TGNCNB community. This workshop includes describing the principles and gives tips on how to apply them. Participants will have time to share their thoughts on each principle with the group. Due to the nature of this workshop, it will be intended for folks who are 18 and older.

NYAD |October 25-Wednesday @ 7:05 PM |Jacob Burns Film Center |Group gathers at 6:50pm, 7:05pm Screening

2023. 120 m. Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin. Netflix. US. English. Rated PG-13.

A remarkable true story of tenacity, friendship, and the triumph of the human spirit, NYAD recounts a riveting chapter in the life of world-class athlete Diana Nyad. Three decades after giving up marathon swimming in exchange for a prominent career as a sports journalist, at the age of 60, Diana (four-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening) becomes obsessed with completing an epic swim that always eluded her: the 110 mile trek from Cuba to Florida, often referred to as the “Mount Everest” of swims. Determined to become the first person to finish the swim without a shark cage, Diana goes on a thrilling, four-year journey with her best friend and coach Bonnie Stoll (two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster) and a dedicated sailing team.

You've seen the headlines, you know our community is under attack. You also know that things here in Westchester are good, for now, but that can all change with an election.  Today, October 23, 2023 is the last day to register so that you can vote on November 7th.  The LOFT encourages all of its community members to read up on the local issues, school board issues, state, and federal issues.
