Note from the Program Coordinator Hello! I am Scott Miller, SAGE Program Coordinator since June. I live in the Milwaukee area with my two dogs. I’m a military veteran in a Master’s Program at UWM. I love working with people by connecting them with like-minded individuals in the community and helping our mission to support our lives and become strong advocates on LGBT issues. SAGE at Milwaukee LGBT Community Center is growing its focus by providing a safe place for people to be in an active environment. In partnership with the Milw County Dept on Aging, we assist people to get services and support, whether it’s for meals, counseling, or other activities. ALSO - If you are looking to meet other friends and build family and community, we are here to help you with an outstretched hand. It is our mission to provide programs and services for individuals to enjoy their lives. Please see all the fun activities planned for December - join us! Sincerely, Scott Miller
