SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY EVENTS:
¡CELEBRANDO 10 AÑOS DE SERVICIOS LATIN@! Latin Services at the San Diego LGBT Commu-
nity Center has been providing a safe, welcoming, culturally and linguistically appropriate space for Latinos, that allows them to accept and embrace all of who they are, including their culture, traditions, language, spirituality, as well as sexual and gender identities. Marking this anniversary is an important one and The Center is doing so on Sunday, October 19 with a festive early afternoon tardeada with a live DJ, mariachi band, tacos, and aguas frescas from 1 to 4 p.m! Additionally, consider a regular monthly donation to Latin@ Services by donating $10, for information on how to do so, contact Rick Cervantes at 619.692.2077 ext. 220 or by email at rcervantes@
thecentersd.org. For more information on the celebration, contact Carolina Ramos at 619.692.2077 ext. 116 or email her at cramos@the-

THE 9TH ANNUAL PIE IN THE SKY THANKSGIVING BAKE SALE Thinking it’s a little early to start thinkin’ about
Thanksgiving pies? Well, considering that Mama’s Kitchen’s pumpkin, traditional apple, Dutch apple and pecan pies go on sale Monday, October 6 and continue right on up to Sunday, November 23, you might want to reconsider. “Mama’s Pie in the Sky Bake Sale has become a tradition in San Diego and one that many locals look forward to as they give thanks over the Thanksgiving holiday,” said Alberto Cortés, executive director, Mama’s Kitchen. “The price of just one $25 pie enables us to provide eight nutritious, home delivered meals to our neighbors affected by AIDS or cancer.” In 2013, the Mama’s Pie in the Sky Bake Sale was the biggest and most successful to date, selling 4,200 pies and raising over $111,000 during the six-week sales period. Not a bad way to give thanks, wouldn’t you say? For more information on picking a peck of pies, or maybe to vol- unteer as a “pie on the ground” helper, go to

18TH ANNUAL UNITED STATES CONFERENCE ON AIDS For nearly two decades, United States Conference
on AIDS (USCA), the largest AIDS-related gathering in the U.S., has sought “to increase the strength and diversity of the community-based response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic through education, training, new partnerships, collaboration and networking.” This is the 18th annual conference put on by The Na- tional AIDS Council, taking place Thursday, October 2 through Sunday, October 5. The event gathers together thousands of workers from all fronts of the HIV/AIDS epidemic—including case managers and physicians, public health workers and advocates, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and policy- makers—in order to create and maintain national support networks, disseminate the most current information and educate attendees on cutting-edge tools to address the challenges of HIV/AIDS.

PRIDE BY THE BEACH This annual Oceanside event has a new
name for 2014, because they are on the move! This year, organizers have taken Pride to the streets of Downtown Oceans- ide and are calling it Pride By The Beach. Celebrate and support our North County neighbors on Saturday, October 11, along with headliner Candye Kane, during this exciting time, all put on by the North County LGBTQ Resource Center. Last year, in what has become one of North County’s premier events, more than 4,000 attendees celebrated during this day of fun, food and community. The Resource Center’s goal is to raise funds and awareness for the many existing LGBT presences within the area and to unite them to fully embrace diversity and to create a vibrant community for all. Funds raised also go to pay for their Annual GSA (Gay/Straight Alliance) Awards, given to North County Gay/Straight Alliance clubs in the middle schools and high schools. For tickets and more information on the North County LGBTQ Resource Center or for Pride by The Beach go to

Express: Nuns on a Train is the number one way to get to Pride By The Beach. “All Aboard” with the San Diego Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, in all their lipstick and glittered glory, as they hop The Coaster leaving downtown’s Santa Fe Depot at 9:48 a.m. with one stop in Old Town (free parking) at 9:54 a.m., arriving in Oceanside at 10:51 a.m. for a “habit-ual” day of nun- sense!
