PFLAG will hold its September on Monday, September 11, in the Fellowship Hall of First Presbyterian Church in Oak Ridge. Members, friends, and newcomers will have a chance to meet and greet and catch up beginning with a potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m., followed by the program at 7 p.m., a press release said. The church is located at 1051 Oak Ridge Turnpike.

During the meeting, there will be time to brainstorm on current and upcoming activities. Also planned is a discussion of transgendered service members and recent tweets and events.

The PFLAG mission is to provide opportunities for dialogue about sexual orientation, gender identities, and to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity, the press release said.

The Oak Ridge Chapter of PFLAG meets the second Monday of the month, rotating the venue among local churches including First Presbyterian, First United Methodist, Grace Covenant, Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church, and the Jewish Congregation of Oak Ridge. The date, time, and location are announced in local media.

For more information on the meeting, please contact Anne Backus at backusanne@comcast.net.
