Don’t let friendship sail away! Join us for Speed Friending on Shore Thing. It’s the perfect way to make new connections without any pier pressure.

If you’ve ever heard of “Speed Dating,” this is similar. The only difference is that the objective here is to make friends. There will be structured time for short conversations, after the community agreements are shared.  Sign-up for Speed friending is limited to 40 people. Participate with an open mind to meet new people and you can share your contact information if you’d like to hang out in the future.

Hugh Lane Wellness Foundation was founded in 2017 to improve the health of the LGBTQ+ and HIV communities. We offer a variety of services and resources to our communities, as well as expert training for organizations to improve their capacity to serve LGBTQ+ clients and staff. Hugh Lane Wellness Foundation is named in memory of Hugh “Huey” Lane. Huey lived in a time where being out and openly talking about HIV were highly stigmatized. Hugh Lane Wellness Foundation strives to address both LGBTQ+ and HIV bias across the many intersections of our communities to create spaces and opportunities for individuals to be their authentic, courageous selves.

Registrations are closed for this event.
