Calendar of Events
This calendar includes both Center events/programs and local LGBTQ+ friendly events.
Out & Adventurous: Stargazing
What- Astronomy night! Going to look at the stars and planets with telescopes. Telescopes provided!
When- Sat Sep 12th at 7:00pm
Where- 17254 Dopp Road
Galesville, WI 54630
Other information- Please make sure you bring bug spray for yourself.
The gate will be open and people should drive in along the dirt road (prepare for a slightly bumpy ride) to the big clearing. If its already getting dark and people are able, have them turn off lights when they can so they don't ruin the night vision of others observing since we'll be there with the astronomy club (same with the drive out). It's a pretty big open field so parking should be fine, not marked but just park by the other cars.
Eelpout
Come heck or high water, it’s time for a bachelor party! Best buds Sven and Ole gather at their pal Lars’s ice-fishing shack on Lake Mille Lacs to celebrate Ole’s upcoming marriage to Lena. But this ice-fishing bromance starts to crack when Sven admits he no longer wants to be Ole’s best man (Ope!). Deep truths, deeper questions, and a giant talking eelpout emerge from the frigid surroundings. La Crosse, WI native Paul Kruse presents a surreal comedy that is a boisterous and beautiful ode to Midwestern masculinity, friendship, queerness, and being a fish out of water. Contains adult themes.

Galaxy
Galaxy is a group for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning middle and high school youth and their allies who want to hang out with other LGBTQ+ teens and discuss issues relevant to their lives. GALAXY creates a safe and drug-free space where kids can freely discuss issues, participate in activities that allow them to become educated about important issues and feel free to be who they are as unique, spectacular individuals!
Rainbow Reflections
This group is going to be a vibrant and welcoming space for LGBTQ+ individuals aged 45 and over. Whether you're newly out, rediscovering community, or have been part of the journey for decades, this is your place to connect, share, and thrive. Join us to meet others in your age group, build meaningful friendships, and share the rich experiences that shape our diverse lives in a safe and affirming environment where everyone is valued. Let’s come together to celebrate our stories, our resilience, and the strength of community at every stage of life.
While this will be advertised as a 45+ group, please attend which group feels like the best fit for you.
