Eugene Lesbian Groups

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.

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.

The Talkie Walkies are a diverse queer men's and women's social group that started out as a weekly morning walk with a stop for coffee and conversation. Over the years, we have added other events, including going to movies and dinner out, hikes, attending plays and concerts, camping, going to track meets, and other fun activities. We usually meet every Wednesday at 9 AM at Alton Baker Park and then walk along the Willamette River, with a stop at 5th Street Public Market for coffee and an activity planning meeting. From that meeting, a Talkie Walkie Update, a calendar of upcoming activities, is developed and e-mailed to interested persons. A core group of about 15 people are involved, with over 50 people on the e-mail list who join us for the activities they wish to attend. New folks are welcome!
