Pink Drinks ~ September
Welcome to Pink Drinks, Frederick’s premier, FREE, monthly LGBTQIA+ social networking event! Pink Drinks is hosted by The Frederick Center, a non-profit organization that supports and advocates for the LGBTQIA+ community. Pink Drinks is an informal, loosely organized, networking and gathering function offered monthly to the The Frederick Center (TFC) community. It is intended to provide an opportunity to bring together adults (ages 21+) of the Central Maryland area LGBTQIA+ community and allies to encourage friendship, conversation, and community involvement. Hosts volunteer at their homes, so the event moves each month to a different location. THE ADDRESS OF THIS EVENT IS SENT TO TICKET HOLDERS. 🙂 Pink Drinks is very informal: Bring Your Own Beverage - any beverage, no pressure to imbibe. The host provides simple, light finger food, plates, napkins, ice, glasses, and name tags. Don't expect a meal. The consumption of alcoholic beverage is in no way required (many don't) and anyone over-indulging will be banned from future events. The focus is on initiating connections and building a community.
