Program of the FGG Annual Meeting
24 - 29 October • San Francisco, CA
From 24 to 29 October, the Federation of Gay Games will meet in the city where the Gay Games began: San Francisco. This annual meeting is historic on at least two levels. First, the meeting and surrounding events will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the first Gay Games. Second, this will be the first annual meeting since the 2006 annual meeting in Lyon when the organisation voted to adopt modified bylaws, the first major restructuring of the FGG in years. The other major issues covered during those five days included reports and meetings of all committees, subcommittees and advisory boards. Elections were also held, under the newly-adopted structure. The new Federation Board will no doubt have much to report to the Assembly at the 2007 annual meeting in San Francisco.
This is the latest agenda of for the 2007 annual meeting:
NOTE REGARDING HALLOWEEN:
If anyone is planning to remain in San Francisco to partake in the legendary Castro Street festivities surrounding Halloween on 31 October, be aware that there will be no major public celebration of this holiday in 2007. There have been a few violent incidents in recent years, and plans to stage a public party in an alternate location have fallen through. There will still be many private parties around town, and information about them will be shared as it becomes available. However, it you're hoping to attend the annual street party in The Castro on Halloween, make other plans. Here is a link to a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle about the controversy surrounding this holiday: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/08/09/BASHRFB2E.DTL.
