Anime Fans!

Spread the word about LGBTQ issues and events with large groups of open minded people.
What better place than an Anime Con! If you have any ideas or know of any up-coming cons that you or someone else could hold an event or rent out a table at please post information here so that word can be spread. If you have already held an event please feel free to post pictures.

I hope to be renting out a table at one of the upcoming cons in Georgia.
I plan to have fliers with helpful websites on them and information regarding LGBTQ rights issues and upcoming Prop 8 protest information. I also plan to have a charity bucket on the table for donations to AIDS relief and research.
All of this is still in the planing phase however, please join in and offer your suggestions!

If you have any ideas for this page please let me know. Contact me on Join the Impact or contact me on Myspace (Chibi Raven). Please be sure to include Join the Impact in the subject of your message. Thank you!
