The LDS church (Mormons) are very courteous in letting us use their parking lot and we must be respectful. We can't have any hanging out in the parking lot or sitting in cars, unfortunately. Also, youth should not leave the dance and come back (much as at a school dance)

We are hoping to have monthly events for LGBT and allied youth in Northern Virginia, though it may take a few months to organize.
We are looking for a (free) place in southern Prince William County to have events perhaps 4 times per year. If you know of one, let me know.
