EMAIL Lists and Info

Here's the scoop on signing up for various lesbian or gay email lists, plus weekly lesbian coffee info and the lesbian and gay events website.

To get on the long-standing Eugene LGBT email list started by Alan Brown, send a blank email message to lanelgbt-subscribe@yahoogroups.com, then reply to the confirmation message they will send you. Alternatively, if you have or are willing to create a Yahoo ID, you can go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lanelgbt, read the blurb, and press the Join This Group button. You can also read recent messages from the list there.

Eugene Lavender Women is probably the largest local lesbian email list. They are loosely associated with groups in Salem and Portland. There are monthly potlucks at Kori's house, which are lovely. It's a useful source of information for events around town. To join the ELW list, send a blank email message to eugenelavenderwomyn-subscribe@yahoogroups.com, then reply to the confirmation message they will send you. Or, as above, get a Yahoo ID and go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eugenelavenderwomyn.

If you are interested in Soromundi Lesbian Chorus of Eugene, you can get on its community email list by emailing Lorraine. (I'm in charge of their email lists.) The list includes lots of women who are not chorus members, and there are many non-music items posted, but it focusses somewhat on chorus social activity. Soromundi is open to new singers each September, sometimes only for a couple of weeks, so be sure to follow the schedule if you want to join.

Once you're a member of any of the above lists, you can post messages when you wish.

Lesbian Coffee is now a Eugene institution every Saturday morning 10:00am - noon. It is at a different location each week. In my experience, there is a largely different crowd each week, and the size of the gathering varies widely also. To get on the email list so you'll find out the locations each month, email Julia at wildwomencoffeeclub@gmail.com.

There is also an email list you can sign up for at Julie Weismann's www.queereugene.com and get a monthly calendar of events. IMO queereugene.com is THE place to find out what's happening around town. Click on What's Happening to see upcoming events. Click on Lesbian, then click on Lesbian Groups (on the far right) to see recurring events (note that a few of these are not quite up to date, unlike the What's Happening button, which is generally always current).

Eugene Lavender Womyn

Lavender Womyn is a lesbian social group, which originally started in Salem, Oregon, but has grown so much that they have branched off into more chapters in Eugene, Corvallis-Albany, and Portland. There is now a Lavender Womyn group in Kentucky.

The Eugene group is run by Kori (email) and their web site is www.eugenelavenderwomyn.com.

They will be having a monthly potluck on the first Saturday of every month in 2009. Email Kori for more information.

They also host the Lavender Womyn Personals web site which has hundreds of members from 30 different states, and some members from the UK as well. Visit the website for membership options.

GLBT Movie Night

Group Purpose:
The purpose or mission of the group is to provide an opportunity to view, enjoy and discuss GLBT films. The films to be shown are "GLBT" in that they contain GLBT themes or involve the work of GLBT actors, directors, writers, etc. Anyone interested in GLBT films is welcome and encouraged to attend. Group participants are invited and encouraged to host, but there is never any obligation to do so. A group discussion will be held after each film is shown.

Background:
The GLBT Movie Night group here in the Eugene/Springfield area meets EVERY Thursday night to view a GLBT film and discuss it afterward. It's a nice way to meet and chat with fans of GLBT cinema. We start the film at 7:30pm, but start arriving at 7:00pm to socialize and chat. We view the film at the home (or other chosen location) of one of our members. The hostess or host welcomes the movie group EVERY Thursday night for one month, then we move to another member's place for the next month, and so on. Although we started with a core group of 10-15 people, we've recently been having steady turnouts of about 20+ people!

If you're interested in joining this group, just show up or email me at rwold@pacinfo.com, and I'll add your email address to the group's email list. Membership in this group is FUN and FREE! :) We are open to men, women, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, straight allies, and anyone else who enjoys watching films about the GLBT community.
