VacationsToGo.com reports that bookings for most cruise lines are at an all-time high. Many lines are experiencing a record-breaking year with a high percentage of 2024 inventory already booked. This unprecedented volume of bookings means a scarcity of available cabins, particularly between now and the end of August. Here are two chances for you to join Source Journeys and me in LBGTQ cruise experiences in Europe, one on an Avalon River Cruise and one on the world’s largest clipper ship! Act fast - these cruises will sell out.

Our beneficiary: National AIDS Memorial Grove – is a dedicated space in the national landscape where millions of Americans touched directly or indirectly by AIDS can gather to heal, hope, and remember. For all the promising prospects on the horizon, AIDS continues to invade our lives, violate our past, and rob us of our comfortable assumptions about the future. The sacred ground of this living memorial honors all who have confronted this tragic pandemic both those who have died and those who have shared their struggle, kept the vigils, and supported each other during the final hours.
Flagging in the Park and the National AIDS Memorial Grove are excited to offer attendees the opportunity to support the fundraising efforts through text-to-donate technology before, during, and after this Flagging in the Park event. You can support the National AIDS Memorial Grove by texting 'Flagging' to 41444. You will receive a text response with a link to a donation form that accepts all major credit cards. You can also go directly to the donation form here:https://app.mobilecause.com/form/rlrGPQ
Where to go: National AIDS Memorial Grove – Taking public transportation is encouraged, finding a place for your car can be challenging. Never been there: pair up with someone who has been there; if you drive – go early for better parking, map here. Walking directions from 2nd and Irving (N-Judah). Walking directions from 9th and Judah (Bus #6, #43, and N-Judah). Walking directions from Stanyan and Hayes (Bus #21, #5). Walking directions from Haight and Stanyan (Bus #33, #7, #71).
About FITP: In 1997 a group of San Francisco flaggers started a tradition of celebrating life by gathering in the newly dedicated National AIDS Memorial Grove. Twenty later, the event is thriving and growing, with the DJs, organizers, and participants donating their time, energy and love to help raise money for mostly local (sometimes national) non-profits.
What to expect: The National AIDS Memorial Grove is in a gorgeously secluded meadow in Golden Gate Park. Often the fog is licking at the sky above especially in the summer, bring sunscreen and a wrap. Bring something to sit on; pack a lunch or bring snacks and beverages; flags are available for use; usually a few furry friends roaming. There are little or no services nearby, but a Port-A-Potty will be available. Our DJ spins vocal fun-filled dance music and flow artists eagerly enjoy and share their art with newcomers. No pressure to participate, come relax and take in the color and beauty of our tribe.
