This weekend was spectacular! I played golf for the very first time and did all 18 holes. I took a few lessons when I was a kid but gave up because no one that I knew played golf. I have fallen in love with the sport this weekend at the Stonewall Golf Classic at Raymond Golf Course. Kelly Trent and the staff at Raymond were so gracious and patient with us. The rain did not keep anyone away and everyone seemed to really enjoy being together. Then Sunday, the generous and talented Leslie Jordan of “Will & Grace” fame stopped by the Center on High to meet people and share some of his stories from Hollywood and beyond. I really expected him to just say, “hello” and then go, but he stayed and mingled and entertained us for over an hour. He talked about how great the community center is and how wonderful it is for GLBT people to be able to go to a welcoming and affirming place. He reminded us that years ago people had to socialize in a bars, because that is the only place we could go to meet one another. Leslie gave us a memorable evening of laughs at our center.
