One of the events I look forward to each year is The Center’s “Info A Go-Go”, where our local organizations gather to connect with you and fellow LGBTQ community members.  It’s to let you know about the services, volunteer opportunities, and events that take place in our wonderful Coachella Valley. As with everything, the event has gone virtual this year and happens over two days next week.  if you are new to the area, have some time on your hands (don’t we all!), or just want to connect with like-minded people, this is your opportunity.
