Miami’s sassiest seniors return for one more hurrah in an all-new show written by Robert Leleux and directed by Eric Swanson. You'll find Sophia out on bail, after being busted by the DEA for running a drug ring for retirees. Blanche and Rose have founded CreakN, a thriving sex app for seniors. And Dorothy is trying to hold it all together, with help from a new young sex-crazed lover. Relive the heartfelt hilarity of four ladies who never stopped being your friends!

We are running a promo in partnership with @mppresent to get you 2 FREE tickets to the opening night on June 8th!! From now until May 25th at 10am, use the promo code PRIDE and get your tickets today!

[Image Description: The image shows brown text over a beige background, framing an illustrated image of four people looking away from the viewer with arms around eachothers' backs. The top text reads: "You don't need to get tested for STIs alone. Bring a friend!", while the bottom reads "STI testing at GRPC is open to all, and we have availability for you AND the people you love. Thursday, May 25 from 4:30pm - 6:30pm. Appointments @: bit.ly/grpc-sti-testing." The four people in the image appear as follows, from left to right; (1) a shorter person with mid-length blonde hair, a green long-sleeved sweater, light-wash blue jeans, and no visible skin tone, (2) a taller person with Black skin, short, black hair, an orange t-shirt with red piping, and yellow pants, (3) a mid-height person with olive-toned skin, long dark brown hair, a two-toned blue vertically-striped long-sleeve shirt, and bright pink jeans, and (4), a second mid-height person with Brown skin, short black hair, a yellow windbreaker jacket, and orange pants.]

Get Personal for Pride! Join us for our next Health Equity in Action event on Thursday, May 25. As always, this is a drop-in-style event where dinner is provided and an opportunity for the community to come together and mingle.

There will also be a presentation on Healthy Sexual from Serette King of Gilead, which offers the chance to chat about how we communicate about consent, STI status, PrEP, intimate expectations, what we want in a partnership, etc. We will also have a wealth of resources for you to stuff a bag full of goodies you may need to get prepared for Pride Fest, including the chance to talk with our Healthcare Coordinator, Aaminah, if you need resources on cutting back or quitting smoking or vaping (remember, Pride Fest is a smoke & vape free space). Fern the Pug, our resident support animal will also be available to offer pug cuddles & emotional support!

KCHD will be here 4:30-6:30 to do STI testing and 5:30-7:30 for 2nd dose Mpox vaccines available to anyone who needs a 2nd dose. Appts are preferred for both of these services, but walk-ins are accepted. If you'd like to make an appt, please contact our Healthcare Coordinator, Cheyanne, at cheyanne.killin@grpride.org or (616) 458.3511

Image description: Text on a peach & white background says, "Get Personal for Pride; Thursday, May 25, 5:30-7:30pm, drop-in style, dinner provided.

May's HIV testing date is quickly approaching!

Walk-ins are always available, though making an appointment in advance is preferred. We, and our partners at Red Project, can't wait to see you!

We'd also like to extend a friendly reminder that masks are required in our building and are available at the door. :)

[Image Description: Two-toned red and navy blue text is centered at the top of the image and reads: "It's time to book your HIV Test!". Below this title reads: "Tuesday, May 9. 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm." and "For appointments: https://bit.ly/may-hiv-testing or email health@grpride.org". The text for this is navy only, and is paired with a red-bordered QR code that leads directly to the bit.ly link. The bottom half of the image holds a large, semi-circle Earth in varying tones of pink, with two illustrated people holding red HIV awareness ribbons. The person on the left is lighter-skinned, wearing a hijab and a long dark pink tunic, and is holding the ribbon close to their heart. The person on the right, who is darker-skinned, is wearing a blue t-shirt and red pants, with the HIV ribbon pinned to their torso and held proudly above their head. Above them, following the curve of the Earth, reads: "Knowing your status is always the safest route!". All of this is on top of a very light pink background, with three small pale blue clouds acting as accents near the border.]

New On-Site Resource Alert! On Wednesdays, 1:00-4:00 pm, Marcus (he/him), a Cherry Health Americorps Outreach & Enrollment Specialist, is now available at Grand Rapids Pride Center (343 Atlas Ave SE) to assist community members.

Marcus can help with first-time Medicaid or food assistance/EBT applications, Medicaid redetermination, MiBridges, and Community Resources Discussions. We have computers on-site as well to facilitate the application process. Marcus can help connect you with other community resources, and you can also meet with a Healthcare Coordinator from the GRPC's Health Equity Program for additional support if needed/desired. Please bring some form of identification (Driver’s License, Social Security, or Birth Certificate) & any information received in the email from the state of Michigan regarding the benefits. Appointments are strongly preferred because these applications take some time, but walk-ins are welcome, time permitting. When contacting us to make an appointment, please let us know your name, pronouns, how many people you're applying for, and what services are needed so we can block out sufficient appointment time.

You can always reach the Health Equity Program at health@grpride.org or email Cheyanne (she/her) directly, as she manages the appointments, at cheyanne.killin@grpride.org. You may also call (616) 458-3511 with questions or to make an appointment.

Image description: Text on a light background says, "Medicaid Navigation & Support with Marcus (he/him), Outreach & Enrollment Specialist, Every Wednesday, 1:00-4:00 pm. Appointments preferred, walk-ins welcome - health@grpride.org to make an appointment or with questions." Below the text are the Grand Rapids Pride Center and Cherry Health logos.
