I was extremely surprised to see this in my "Local" section on Google News. I wish I could have gone to the hearings today. |

Okay guys, kinda bad news. 414 Federal Street is NOT where marriage licenses are issued - it's the Kent County Levy Court Complex, 555 Bay Road, which is actually on the highway next to the Blue Hen Corporate Center. I went to both places today and confirmed it with a phone call.
This isn't a great place to hold a protest since we'd basically have to stand in the parking lot (which I don't even know if it would be legal for us to do) and watch the traffic on Rt. 13 go by. What do we want to do? I'll post this on the Facebook group too since it seems there's more people over there. |

Do we want to try to do this? As far as I can tell, the place you get marriage licenses in Dover is the Kent County Clerk of the Peace, in room 210 at 414 Federal Street. I'm going to go over there this week and see what the area looks like since I have no idea. (God, you'd never guess I grew up here. I didn't know where city hall was either.) I'm also going to check that it's the right location, since there's some conflicting information on the web, but it's on a site that hasn't been updated in 4 years, so who knows.
I'm working on handouts and promotional fliers again, they'll just need info filled in (is there a nationally shared time for this event or do we get to make up our own?), and I'll bring White Knots as usual. Some of the churches in DE, if we wanted to try getting ministers involved, that I know are at least somewhat gay-friendly are: Newark United Church of Christ Phone: 302-737-4711 Email: info@newarkucc.org Westminster Presbyteran Church, Wilmington 302.654.5214 Head pastor's email: gregjones@wpc.org Associate pastor's email: anne@wpc.org Epworth United Methodist Church, Rehoboth office@epworth-rehoboth.org UU congregations are listed here - http://www.uua.org/aboutus/findcongregation/results.php?state=DE&welcoming_only=true http://www.mccrehoboth.com/ - The MCC in Rehoboth doesn't currently have a pastor but some of their lay ministry may be interested. Contacting the usual media outlets probably couldn't hurt either, even though the DOMA protest wasn't noticed. I'm going to post all the same online info I did before once we get the details finalized as well.

What I've done so far -
- Put the event on Myspace (I think I did it right) - check the link above, if anyone has a Myspace? - Put the event on Craigslist - http://delaware.craigslist.org/eve/974057979.html if you're interested - Announced the event on the DEGLC mailing list - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DEGLC/ in case anyone hasn't heard of it Any other suggestions, since we've already got the Facebook(s)?

Hi - I don't know any faith-based food banks in Delaware to host a food drive for, but I do know that Delaware Pride hosts a monthly volunteer night at the Food Bank of Delaware in Newark, and the next time is Tuesday, December 16 from 6-8 PM. Here is the web page about it on their site with the email of who to contact - http://www.delawarepride.org/Events/Food%20Bank/FoodBankofDE.htm
If we don't do a food drive, perhaps a bunch of us could show up from Join The Impact and help out DE Pride. If anyone would like to carpool from Kent County let me know, as I will be driving up. :) |
