LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Friends, Welcome to Winter Party Festival, an event that uniquely combines celebration, community, and a great cause. We are deeply honored to have you join us for the 25th year of this remarkable festival that has touched so many lives and made such a huge difference for LGBTQ people in South Florida and across the nation. It’s our second year under the tagline: Live Free. Play Hard. Give Back. And you prove it! This year, we are seeing more work than ever to ensure everyone in the United States can LIVE FREE. We are facing the most anti-LGBTQ administration in memory, but our community has not been deterred at all. We have all been working hard to secure our rights, and now it’s time to PLAY HARD at Winter Party Festival! Funds raised through the Winter Party Festival and its sister event, the National LGBTQ Task Force Gala - Miami, support our national work, and we also GIVE BACK to vital LGBTQ organizations serving the South Florida community. Since 2005, the National LGBTQ Task Force has given over $2.7 million back to the South Florida community. Your support of the Winter Party Festival has helped to fund more than 70 organizations doing work in LGBTQ advocacy, youth services, homelessness initiatives, the arts, and much, much more. This year, we are honoring all the former Chairs of Winter Party Festival since our organization, the National LGBTQ Task Force, took over running the event. These amazingly generous leaders are Justin Bell, Dave Cook, JC Curry, Victor Diaz-Herman, Joe Guerrero, Lisa Mercado, Chad Richter, and Derek Yee. We are also extremely grateful to our 2018 Festival Chair, Stephen Seo. In the five years he’s worked on Winter Party Festival, he’s been one of the driving forces that have us on track to break all fundraising records this year. On behalf of our board and staff, I want to express our appreciation. Your dedication is inspiring! Thank you. I also give thanks to the generous individuals and companies who have made financial and in-kind contributions to this spectacular event and to all the committee members and volunteers who help us create magic. We couldn’t do what we do without your incredible support. Live Free. Play Hard. Give Back. See you on the dance floor,

LETTER FROM OUR FESTIVAL CHAIR Welcome to the 25th Edition of Winter Party Festival! We live in a world that challenges us every day, where others tell us we’re different, tell us “no.” This week I invite you to say “yes” and BE YOU! I invite you to hold hands, kiss your partner, kiss your friend, a stranger; wear costumes, wear speedos, wear what makes you feel your authentic self. I invite you to open your hearts, meet someone new, and rejoice with old friends. In 1994 four leaders decided to throw a beach party to raise money to fight an anti-LGBTQ initiative in Florida. Over the last 25 years, Winter Party Festival has grown and thrived as a fundraiser to advance equality for LGBTQ people. Winter Party would not be possible without the hundreds of volunteers who pour their hearts into creating a space for us to live free and play hard, and, especially, supporters like you. The collective efforts of these contributors have strengthened Winter Party and transformed it into the friendliest party in the world. I’m thrilled that our VIP Cocktail Reception will honor the eight people who have served the Task Force as Festival Chair before me: Joe Guerrero, Dave Cook, Lisa Mercado, JC Curry, Chad Richter, Victor Diaz-Herman, Derek Yee and Justin Bell. The Festival remains a party with a purpose. Funds raised from Winter Party go directly to supporting the important work of the National LGBTQ Task Force and LGBTQ advocacy and community groups in South Florida by way of the GLBT Community Projects Fund at The Miami Foundation. Since the Task Force began producing Winter Party and the Task Force Gala – Miami (our sister event), we’ve donated more than $2.7 Million to South Florida LGBTQ non-profit organizations. I would like to thank the City of Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber and all of the City Commisioners, City Manager Jimmy Morales, and all of the staff members who go to great lengths to support Winter Party Festival. I would also like to thank the amazing sponsors who make this event possible, while kindly asking you, our guests, to support them in return for their valuable partnership with Winter Party. I extend my thanks to the Task Force staff and the entire Festival Committee for the opportunity to serve in various leadership positions the last five years. I could not be more proud to be part of an organization whose values lift people up and fight to improve the lives of others, even in the face of adversity. Thank you for your support in the continued fight for freedom, justice, and equality!
Stephen Seo Winter Party Festival Chair, 2018

VIP COCKTAIL RECEPTION HONOREES Since Winter Party began in 1994, it has relied on talented, dedicated individuals to help it grow and thrive. The National LGBTQ Task Force has been very fortunate to have some exceptional champions lead the Festival volunteer force over the past 14 years. We are proud to dedicate the 25th Winter Party Festival to our past Festival Chairs.
JOE GUERRERO (CHAIR, 2005; CO-CHAIR, 2006) My first Winter Party was as a volunteer in 2000. The following year, 2001, I chaired the volunteers. We grew the volunteer database from 300 to 600 volunteers that year. In 2002 and 2003, I was Chair of Winter Party. When the Task Force took over Winter Party, they asked if I would help with the transition. I agreed to chair Winter Party Festival that year, 2005. The following year, 2006, I co-chaired Winter Party Festival with Dave Cook, passing the baton. Favorite Memory: My favorite memory was in 2003 when we outreached to our community with our first fashion show at Lincoln Road Mall, art exhibits, a family picnic outing and a women’s dance event.
DAVE COOK (CO-CHAIR, 2006-2007) I have been involved in WPF since the first year. I was the WPF co-chair for 2 years before becoming a Task Force employee for 5 years. I am currently in my 3rd year as the Executive Director of Miami Beach Gay Pride. Favorite Memory: My favorite memory is one year working alongside my teenage niece. She ended up being on the committee and had a blast. It was nice seeing someone I used to babysit taking a leadership role for WPF.
JC CURRY (CO-CHAIR, 2007-2008) I volunteered at the very first Winter Party. I loved it so much that I kept coming back and found my niche in the Welcome Center under the guidance of Cyril Cohen, who eventually passed the baton to me and I became chair of the Welcome Center. I’ve been involved almost every year in some capacity and served as CoChair in 2007 and 2008. I have lived in Miami my entire life and I love the diversity of the people who live here and who visit, which is why I stay. Favorite Memory: My favorite memory is from the first year the Task Force produced Winter Party. When the closing song of the Beach Party (“High”) played I was standing on the VIP platform overlooking the crowd and getting hugs by Matt Foreman on one side and his partner Francisco on the other. My eyes teared up with pride for the event, for the friends I’d made, the friends who were no longer with us and the salvation of the event by Matt and the Task Force.
LISA MERCADO (CO-CHAIR, 2007-2008) I was introduced to Winter Party Festival and the giving back to the community around 2005. My first experience was helping with stage management at the Winter Party Beach Party. The following year I worked on the Family Picnic, then began to oversee the Women’s Programming division. In 2007, Matt Foreman asked me if I would be a co-chair alongside Dave Cook and JC Curry. The following year I was again co-chair and continued to oversee women’s programming and began working on the Finance Team as well. In 2010 I joined the staff and continue to work on this event and the Gala where I have met so many amazing people and organizations. Favorite Memory: Having been involved for so many years, there are a lot of memories. One of my favorites was the year the Beach Party truss was decorated with hundreds of inflatables, it was all fun and games until we found out we had to deflate them! My other favorite moment will always be meeting Russell Roybal in the Cabana Club about 4pm to look over the sea of guests and watch a cruise ship disappear at the horizon.

CHAD RICHTER (CHAIR, 2009-2011; CO-CHAIR, 2012) I first started volunteering in 2008 as Director of Marketing. I then served as the Festival Chair from 2009-2011 and Co-Chair in 2012. After more than 35 years living in Miami, I moved to NYC in 2016 as Director of Retail Sales for Fresh. While still adjusting to the winter weather, I’m loving the culture, architecture and fastpaced life of New York, but Miami Beach will always be home. Favorite Memory: My fondest memories of volunteering always involved the smiling, bustling, busyness at the early morning Beach Party set up — and the not-so-calm before sometimes a literal storm. One year the wind and rain started threatening the decor, but nothing could deter this group who quickly went into “fix it” mode. Just before showtime the sky parted and it ended up being the most beautiful day. This was a perfect analogy for WPF where the controlling of chaotic situations was always quickly managed through passionate team effort – something that always shone through with this group of dedicated professionals.
VICTOR DIAZ-HERMAN (VICE CHAIR, 2010-2011, 2013; CO-CHAIR, 2012; CHAIR, 2014) As a native to Miami, I have always had some involvement with local community events, either as a guest, a participant, a supporter, or even a member; my passion for the LGBTQ community was evident. Winter Party Festival has always been one of the larger events everyone looked forward to year after year. My interest in becoming more involved eventually grew stronger, so I decided to really invest in the event. Starting in 2010 until 2013 I filled both roles of Vice Chair and CoChair alongside other members of the community. In 2014 I dominated the task of chairing the entire event on my own, and my admiration for the event grew even stronger. Continuing on the path to honor this passion for my community, I now fill the position of Chief Executive Officer at Pridelines Community Center, serving all of Miami’s LGBTQ youth and community at large. My dedication to the community remains stronger and more determined than ever before. Favorite Memory: My most memorable moment that I’ll never forget is the year I was standing on the second floor of the Sunday night party at Cameo looking down onto a sea of people dancing in unison creating a wave of rhythm during the peak of the music, free of judgment, free of ridicule, and free to be exactly who they were in that moment, and doing so all together.
DEREK YEE (VICE CHAIR, 2012; CHAIR, 2013) I’ve been involved with Winter Party Festival from 2007 to 2013. I served in varying capacities from volunteering at individual events, leading operations/logistics and culminating with my role as Chair in 2013. I’ve since left Florida and now reside in San Francisco, California. I try to get back to Florida to support the event either as a participant or volunteer. Favorite Memory: I’m not sure if this is my favorite, but it’s indeed the most memorable: I was driving Lisa Mercado around to pick up supplies and realized that the van we were driving couldn’t fit into the Publix parking garage! The clearance sign hit the top of the van when I tried entering on the ramp but everyone and everything survived unscathed :)
JUSTIN BELL (INCOMING CHAIR, 2014; CHAIR, 2015-2017) I first joined the Winter Party Festival family as Incoming Chair in 2014. In 2015, I took over as Festival Chair and served the following three years as Chair through 2017. Today, I continue to work ‘behind the scenes’ assisting members of the Festival Executive Committee with strategic planning. I currently am the Vice President of Digital at Shiraz Creative, managing a team of digital strategists and creatives across Shiraz’s 5 offices. Favorite Memory: My favorite WPF memory is when we surpassed the $1M mark in revenue for the first time in the Festival’s history.

TIP YOUR BARTENDER! At The Beach Party on Sunday, you won’t see your everyday bartenders at the General Admission bars. Instead, you’ll see excited volunteers from one very important community group serving your every drink needs.
Pridelines has benefited from Winter Party Festival and its sister event, the National LGBTQ Task Force Gala – Miami, but you can help give additional support through your tips.
ABOUT PRIDELINES: To support, educate, and empower South Florida’s LGBTQ youth and community in safe and diverse spaces to promote dialogue, wellness, and to foster social change. “As Miami’s LGBTQ Community Center, we are always excited to engage with our community in new and fun ways. Bar tending at the Beach Party is a great
way to meet LGBTQ people from around the world while also helping to make their experience a memorable one. Our board, staff, and volunteers look forward to bartending every year, and we can’t wait to do it again this year. We wish all of this year’s guests a safe and fun week. Happy Winter Party!” Victor Diaz-Herman, Executive Director

WELCOME TO MONTREAL EVERY OCTOBER!
CANADIAN THANKSGIVING AND COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND
B B CM .O RG
ABOUT THE TASK FORCE The National LGBTQ Task Force advances full freedom, justice and equality for LGBTQ people. We’re building a future where everyone is free to be themselves in every aspect of their lives. Today, despite all the progress we’ve made to end discrimination, millions of LGBTQ people face barriers in every aspect of their lives: in housing, employment, healthcare, retirement, and basic human rights. These barriers must go. That’s why the Task Force is training and mobilizing millions of activists across our nation to deliver a world where you can be you.
