Youth (age 17 and under): 3rd Wednesday of each month Adult (18+): 4th Wednesday of each month Time: 6:30-7:45pm Location: St. Mary's County Public Library meeting room. Location varies from month to month depending on availability of rooms. However, we strive to hold the meetings at the Leonardtown Library as much as possible. Please check our calendar on the Meetings page of our website for locations. We're excited to get back to normal and see everyone again in person!  Come out for Pride month for a Picnic in the Park with PFLAG Leonardtown. We will have hotdogs and hamburgers, sodas and water. Bring your own picnic lunch if you want. In lieu of our peer to peer meetings this month we decided to host a cookout for the community. Peer to peer facilitators will be available at the picnic if needed. So, come out and meet a new friend or reconnect with old ones. Play a game, hang out and have a nice afternoon.
We're looking forward to seeing everyone!!  Back by popular demand, we will be resuming our Youth Peer to Peer meetings on July 25th, 2020. Please email pflag.leonardtown@gmail.com for information. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
Our next meeting will be August 30th at 10am. Email for details. Going forward until the pandemic ends we are hoping to stick to the 3rd Saturday of every month at 10am, weather permitting. Check our calendar and this website, Facebook and Instagram for updates.  Do you miss our Peer-to-Peer meetings?
We are now holding our Adult Peer to Peer meetings via Zoom. Youth peer to peer is also going on in person. If you're interested in attending either meeting please email pflag.leonardtown@gmail.com for the URL and password and more information! Our moderators will ensure a safe and secure environment just as we have in the past, but this time it's acceptable to be in your pajamas. Hope to see some new and some familiar faces! email: pflag.leonardtown@gmail.com  Unfortunately, this event has been postponed until further notice. We will let you know when it is rescheduled as soon as we are able. We're hoping to hold it sometime in the late summer of 2020.

Adult (18+) and Youth(10-17) Peer to Peer meetings are offered on the 3rd and 4th Wednesdays of every month. Check the calendar on our Meetings page for times and places for the meetings. Open to all LGBTQIA+ folks and their family, friends and allies. Free! Cookies and bottled water provided.  We would like to thank the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant/Exelon for their generous donation of $1,000.00 to PFLAG Leonardtown which was presented to us at their Calvert Cliffs Pride event that was held June 20, 2019. When Terri LeCroix and I were first invited to the launch of an LGBTQIA+ Ally program, we never imagined how wonderfully affirming the culture was going to be. They truly strive to create an atmosphere which promotes diversity and inclusivity. Their employees to senior/corporate management were gracious, kind and very supportive of the Ally Program as well as cultivating an inclusive work environment. It was an absolute joy to spend the afternoon with them and I personally look forward to partnering with Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant/Exelon in the future. A special thank you to Janna Jackson, their Communications Manager, for her steadfast work and dedication in bringing us together and assisting in cultivating a diverse work culture. Their donation will assist us in continuing to provide services and support to the LGBTQIA+ community, their families, friends and allies. Many thanks, ~ Louise Ball PFLAG Leonardtown President |
