SnowBall is Ingersoll Gender Center’s annual holiday Bash, this year with special guest Kate Bornstein


Every year Ingersoll Gender Center throws a big party to bring the community back together to celebrate and review the year, and to look forward, and to connect with friends old and new.


This year SnowBall 2010: Double Diamond features our special guest, the always provocative and dangerous Kate Bornstein and our own, the international sensation, DJ Michelle Love.  Come for the good food and friends. Stay for the entertainment, excitement, schmooze and dancing to the beats of Michelle Love. This year we are holding SnowBall at the beautiful and historic Mount Baker Community Club, with food, entertainment, drinks, friends, VIP hob-nobbing, annual awards, and dancing.


The most dangerous ski runs on the mountain are labeled Double Diamond.  Only the most daring, the most courageous point their skis and boards down these slopes.  They aren’t for everyone but the thrill and the reward are unparalleled.  We think it is the perfect metaphor for the spirit of personal and collective challenge we embrace. 


See you all at SnowBall 2010: Double Diamond.


Tickets $25.00 advance.  Buy your tickets at Brown Paper Tickets


Tickets $35.00 at the door.

From Survival to Pride

Submitted by marsha on Sat, 07/18/2009 - 7:27am
Friends! Welcome to Ingersoll,
We have served our communities for many years, and during those years we have seen such change!
 
Our whole being is about change – personal, social, in the mind and in the world - and still the power and surprise of just how change occurs brings us constant amazement and renewal.
 
We have come from a time of survival to one of pride, from small meetings in unknown privacy, to full partners in the greater work of building equality and fairness for all people. We attend to the individual, yet we change the world!
 
It is a very long way from our first public celebration in a tiny meeting room above a long-vanished restaurant on Capitol Hill in Seattle, to our established history of education outreach to legislatures, businesses and organizations local, national - across many borders - on to our recent proud march in the annual Seattle Pride Parade, Ingersoll T-shirts everywhere, singing and laughter, families, individuals, joy!
 
It is a long way from founding Ingersoll to my recent visit to the White House and a meeting with the President, as part of an LGBTQ Leadership Reception.
I call out thanks to all who have made Ingersoll possible, all those who have served and moved on through the years, all those who gave so much to make us thrive. Thank you, for times of struggle and times of achievement, cheers to you, brave ones.
 
And now, in the work of change, comes a new generation of leaders! We are fully and wholly aware of the great challenge that intellectual and generational change brings – we are linked across ages and continents, cultures and ideas – united to take the best of our Ingersoll's past into the developing present, so that we may all have a future of fairness, justice and full equality. The task is great but we are ready.
 
I know you will go about your self-discovery in your own way, that is the nature of the world. If Ingersoll can join you in that great adventure, we are ready!  Visit us; bring your voice and intelligence to our united work.
So, I say:
 
More Conversation!
Educate, Organize, Take Action!
Build a Better World Together!
 
In the words of Robert Green Ingersoll:
 
“The Time to be Happy is Now,
 The Place to be Happy is Here,
 And the Way to be Happy is to Make Others So.”
