Trinity Angels A Night In Aspen Fundraiser

Hi All,

I have been asked to join a very special cause in hopes to encourage you as well in joining what is very dear to my heart. You may receive more than one of these, so pardon the excess, it's for a good cause!

Please join in on the fun, and if you can not join please donate something if you can. This is a small price to pay for a large life to protect and help.

The Trinity Angel Non-Profit Organization is proud to present the first ever fundraiser for the Trinity Place LGBT Youth Homeless Shelter.

Trinity Place Shelter is a non-sectarian, 10-bed transitional shelter that is open all year to provide LGBTQ youth with a safe place to sleep, eat, store belongings, and have access to transportation. The shelter provides a unique, family-like environment where the youth receive the respect, individualized care, and basic services so often denied them. There are as many as 10,000 LGBTQ youth currently living homeless in NYC and only 250 beds or fewer that are specifically available for this population. These youth often experience abuse in other shelters. Our goal is to expand our program to provide homeless LGBTQ youth with the basic services and skills necessary to make independent living a reality, and to make a positive difference for as many as possible in the midst of this crisis.

Most of us remember what it was like to fear the rejection of friends and family once we finally came out of the shadows and admitted that we were gay. Hopefully, most of us were embraced for simply being who we were. Unfortunately though, there are others who weren’t so lucky. Instead of being accepted by their loved ones, they were ostracized, shunned, and even turned out by the people whose support they needed the most during this difficult time. And it could have easily have been one of us.

As members of the LGBT community, we have a responsibility to support our fellow brothers and sisters, especially the young, who in most cases have nowhere else to turn.



Please join us December 2nd from 7 - 11 pm at Aspen Lounge for an unforgettable event.

Hosted by: Oscar Apaydinli, Matt Tratner, Josh Wood, Mark Nelson, Russ Williamson, Memo Valverde, Kevin Joyce, Joseph Miceli Magnone, Jacob Fanning, Eddie Garou, Tony Fornabaio, Mike Ruiz, Douglas Hill, Kevin Lotz & Danielle Pepin, among others!


For a $25 Donation, you receive:

• A black Trinity Angel NYC Awareness Bracelet (which, in combination with a stamp, gets you free booze all night!)

• FREE Vodka, Tequila & Rum Bar sponsored by V2 (From 7-11)

• Tons of raffle prizes, including giveaways from: Jet Blue, John Bartlett, V2 Vodka, etc.

• Music by HX Magazine’s DJ of the Year, DJ Xavier


To make your $25 donation now, please go to: http://www.trinityangelnyc.com

There will be VERY LIMITED amounts of tickets at the door, and only if available, so please take a moment and go to the website and make your donation online. If you want to purchase in person before the event, please message me for details on how.

The website also provides more info on the shelter and other ways you can help, like volunteering.

So come and celebrate the holiday season while giving back to those less fortunate!

Hope to see you there!

OBAMA WINS!

Yeah, I know, it's a couple days late. I've been busy! SO elated that we FINALLY have another Democrat in office, and one that is motivated enough to make a change, and clean up past messes!

I was on the most amazing date when the results were announced, and that made it that much more memorable! We witnessed history on Tuesday, and it is an absolutely amazing feeling to see people turning out in such amazing numbers at the polls, and taking initiative to vote and make a difference!

I'm actually not embarrassed anymore to be an American. If we can unite long enough to get something like this accomplished, why can't we do more and more! We could certainly make so much more happen as a people if we stopped for one moment, and realized that we aren't alone, and that we are in it together.

Start spreading the kindness. Smile. Open doors. Watch where you are going, and excuse yourself rather than push. Say please and thank you. These are all common courtesies that are normal in most of the world, and certainly very lost in New York! Pay attention, spread the love, be the change you want to see in the world!

Monte's Bday and Tubway

This past weekend, I hosted a birthday party at mr. Black for my friend Monte Albers de Leon, with DJ Lina on tables! It was a super fun event, and I stayed on afterwards to host Tubway with the usual suspects!
