About 2 years ago I realized that my new student leadership group needed to have an ongoing project that would help the school.  I also realized that a garden would work well with our student groups’ mission, which is to help our school and community become green friendly and protect our environment.

It took a long time but after many meetings with my principal, the district physical plant department, and some teachers we came up with a plan to create six raised beds and four benches that would be split into two different sites on our campus.  We would also include fencing, sheds, tools, soil, compost, seeds, plants, and even a separate sensory garden. 

As you can see in the pictures we accomplished just what we set out to do.  This was only possible with the help of all the contributions and grants we acquired.  Discovery is extremely grateful to G.L.U. and their incredibly generous gift of over $1000.00.  It really does take a village and for an outward gay organization to donate to our public school sector is a huge success story of just how far we have come in our journey for equality.  Thank you G.L.U. and any individuals that support G.L.U.’s efforts!

An excellent opportunity to support Mama's Kitchen - GLU boys will be among the volunteers and patrons of this fun event...

Thanks to our hosts, Jared and Kevin - another fabulous GLU party - enjoy the pics - send us your favorites and we will add then to the slide show.

Guys Like Us were amazing at this year's HRC fundraiser, "Bowling for Equality" on February 25 at the world famous Kearney Mesa Bowling Complex. If you missed this you missed a fun afternoon and a great way to support the HRC.

The GLU team had a couple of prize winners... privacy laws (vanity) prohibit naming them and per capita, we had more than our share of stikes and gutter balls.

It was a great party - Send your Mardi Gras party pictures to the GLU webmaster and we will include them in the slide show...
