Dear Over the Rainbow Friends,

WEDNESDAY IS CANCELLED BUT COME TO FUNDRAISER SUNDAY!

The safety and well-being of our attendees is always our highest priority.

Due to the forecast for rain and thunderstorms on Wednesday, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our Summer Outing at Salem Willows. While we're disappointed, we believe this is the best decision to help ensure everyone's safety and comfort.

We are already looking at possible dates to reschedule the event and will announce the new date as soon as it is confirmed.

In the meantime, we hope you'll join us for our upcoming Sock Hop Fundraiser
Sunday, July 26
6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Gulu-Gulu Café,

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/50s-sock-hop-dance-fundraiser-tickets-1986591275984?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true

It will be a fun evening of music, dancing, friends, and community while helping support Over the Rainbow's programs and events.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to seeing everyone very soon!

Get ready to twist and shout while supporting a great cause at this fun 50s sock hop dance party!

Another wonderful Tuesday dinner is in the books for July at OTR! 🌈💜

A huge thank you to EssexNY Pizza in Salem for their incredibly generous donation of an amazing meal: chicken parmesan, pasta, garden salad, Greek salad, rolls, and cookies. Everything was delicious, and we are so grateful for your support of our community!

Thank you as well to The House of the Seven Gables for hosting us in such a beautiful space, and to our incredible board members, volunteers, and everyone who came out. We were especially excited to welcome several new faces to the dinner this month!

At Over the Rainbow, our mission is simple: to create a welcoming, supportive social community where LGBTQ+ mature adults, seniors, allies, friends, and everyone who wants to be part of a caring community can connect, make friends, and know they are never alone.

If you’ve been thinking about joining, just come! There’s no membership required to attend our gatherings. We simply ask for a suggested donation, when possible, to help support our nonprofit and keep these events going.

We can’t wait to see you at the next one! 🏳️‍🌈❤️
