MCC Starts Saturday Cotfee House
For those thinking there is
little to do in Charlotte outside
of the "bar scene," take a
look at June's calendar. Not
only will there be special
events for Pride Week June
22-29, but also a multitude of
meetings and activities that
occur each month.
A movement is taking
place in our community to
include both men and
women in organizations and
activities. Among these is
MCC/Charlotte's ''Coflee
House."
Originally formed as the
New Vida Coffee House for
women, MCC/Charlotte has
dropped the former name
and has opened the doors to
men as well. The non-reli
gious social gathering takes
place every other Saturday,
6:30-10 p.m., at 4037 E. Inde
pendence Blvd. (in the old
Century 21 Building next to
Camelot Music ).
The Coffee House offers no
specific programs and no li
quor. It provides a much
needed place for men and
women to meet in an infor
mal social atmosphere. Once
a month the Coffee House will
host a pitch-in dinner (bring
your own munchies). Meeting
dates in June will be the 14th
for the pitch-in dinner and
the 28th for an informal so
cial.
