	PFLAG LI marching in the NYC Gay Pride Parade PFLAG Long Island Needs YOU. We are a volunteer organization relying upon the time and energy of many of our members to continue to do all we have done in the past. We appreciate the help we have received throughout the years from many dedicated people. Over time, some members who had worked so hard for us have moved away or have gone on to other things and we need to have the vital positions they had held filled by new volunteers. We need your help to continue to make PFLAG-LI the best it can be. We can only do it WITH YOUR HELP! Kindly let us know if you can help in any of the following areas: · Program Committee - secure guest speakers for our monthly meetings. · Co-Chair of Hospitality for Nassau and/or Suffolk – take care of refreshments for our meetings. · Submit feature articles and other content of interest to PFLAG LI members for this web site.
