SCOTT CARLSON THANKSGIVING DINNER For the past 22 years, the Scott Carlson Community Thanksgiving Din- ner has been a home away from home to people who have nowhere to spend Thanksgiving. Again this year, the entire community is invited to join the Imperial Court de San Diego as it hosts the annual Scott Carlson GLBT Community Thanksgiving Dinner at the San Diego LGBT Com- munity Center on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 25, at noon. San Diego activist Scott Carlson, who had AIDS openly and proudly as an activist when most people would hide it, started the dinner 22 years ago. After Carlson’s death, the Imperial Court de San Diego assumed respon- sibility for dinner and renamed the event in his honor. The dinner unites guests and volunteers of different backgrounds other than the GLBT and HIV/AIDS communities. In the spirit of the season, the Imperial Court de San Diego has not put any restrictions on dinner-goers and anyone is able to attend free of charge. The San Diego LGBT Community Center is located at 3909 Centre Street in Hillcrest. For more information, visit
