Coming Out Local was a phenomenal success again this year, taking the community building event, and OUT for Sustainability, to a whole new level. The volunteers, particularly our chefs led by the remarkable Zephyr Paquette, made Coming Out Local the engaging, authentic, tangible expression of our mission to mobilize a greener LGBTQ community.

Thank you Sally and Louise for your wisdom and humor. Thank you sponsors of all forms including Dockside Co-op, Cynthia Buhr, Poco Wine Room, and Wilridge Vinyards. Thank you farmers like Baird Orchards and Taylor Shellfish. And thank you to our friends, old and new, who brought your spark to the event. I know you’ll come out local and through that, build a more diversely sustainability world for us all.
