On Wednesday, November 19, Aging With Pride had their monthly dinner at Valerio's Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria, 724 Powell Ave, Erie, PA. Aging With Pride dinners are usually the last week of the month. The next dinner will be the annual holiday dinner at a member's home on December 18, and then a brunch at Give a Crepe CrepErie, 1909 Chestnut St, Erie, PA on January 24. Aging With Pride meets twice a month for planning and discussion, as well as a book club on the third Saturday of the month and a game night on the second Thursday of the month.

The Aging with Pride Legacy Project continues to gather historical records of the  LGBTQ+ community in Erie.  To date, a collection of artifacts: newspaper articles, photographs, posters, flyers, buttons and even a journal have been catalogued in a collaborative effort to create a formal LGBTQ+ archive at a local university.  Such an archive provides a record of community evolution, strengths, challenges, successes and identity.   

On Friday, Nov. 14th, members of Aging with Pride Erie, Older Wiser Leaders (OWLS) of the Persad Center, Pittsburgh, and Rainbow Pioneers from the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland met for the first time to get to know each other, discuss mutual concerns, and plan for the future. Hosted by the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland, approximately 30 people came together for discussions, lunch, and a wonderful afternoon spent at the Cleveland Art Museum. Everyone agreed that there should be more collaborative planning in the future as people discussed issues facing older LGBT individuals in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.
