Celebrating Pride Month

Sacramento LGBTQ+ Community,

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who played a vital role in making the Court of the Great Northwest Imperial Empires’ 50th Anniversary an exceptional event. As a dedicated member of this organization for the past four decades, I am truly honored to have been a part of this milestone celebration alongside such incredible individuals.

I am proud to serve as a member of the International Court Council, a position that allows me to contribute to the growth and success of our organization on a global scale. Moreover, I have the privilege of chairing the Jose Sarria-Nicole Murray Scholarship Fund, which has now amassed an impressive sum of over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. This fund, held in perpetuity, represents our unwavering commitment to supporting the educational aspirations of deserving individuals.

I would like to take this opportunity to highlight some remarkable contributions that have been made in recent times. Personally, I am honored to have awarded five one thousand dollar scholarships in the name of FACES Nightclub, in collaboration with Senate Pro-Tem Toni Atkins. Additionally, our non-profit organization, Rainbow, has donated $20,000 to the Sacramento Lavender Library, furthering our commitment to fostering inclusivity and education within our community. Furthermore, FACES proudly sponsors the VIP area at Sacramento Pride with a generous contribution of $25,000. Recognizing the importance of supporting essential services, FACES has also donated $5,000 to Golden Rule Services. Lastly, I have personally donated the MGW San Diego News magazine to San Diego’s LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce, as a testament to our dedication to promoting LGBTQ+ voices and businesses.

In light of our ongoing efforts to uplift our community, I extend an invitation to each and every one of you to join us at our 35th Annual Rainbow Festival on September 3rd, 2023. This vibrant and inclusive celebration will take place from 11am to 10pm, providing a platform for us to come together, celebrate our diversity, and reinforce our shared values.

Anniversary a resounding success. Your unwavering support, dedication, and generosity have been instrumental in furthering our mission and creating a positive impact within our community.

Once again, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to all those involved in making the Court of the Great

Thank you for your continued commitment and for embodying the spirit of unity and progress that defines our organization.
