A new organization has been established in Charlottesville to establish an LGBT Community Center.  According to an e-mail received last week, Thrive! LGBTA Community Center plans to provide resources, help end workplace discrimination, establish an LGBT Chamber of Commerce for Charlottesville and surrounding counties, counseling, and other outreach programs.

A focus group is being held this Friday, December 11 from 6-7 p.m. at C’Ville Coffee at 1301 Harris Street, Charlottesville, VA.

Community leaders and those interested in helping with this project can contact Interim Executive Director Robin Stuart by e-mail at rubytoes@comcast.net or by phone at 415-205-5557.
