Founded in 1994, the Central PA Womyn’s Chorus “brings together a diverse group of women, united by the joy of singing, to celebrate and empower women and to affirm a positive image of lesbians and feminists.” This event program is from the "Lebanon Area GLBT Groups Collaborative Kickoff" event, which was held in the Miller Chapel of Lebanon Valley College on October 25, 2007. The event featured music from the Central PA Womyn's Chorus and representatives from numerous state and local organizations, including Equality PA, Harrisburg City Council, PFLAG, Common Roads, Central Voice, LGBT Center Coalition, the Central Pennsylvania Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, and Equality Forum. Community activist Susan Wheeler also hosted an open forum. In addition to an event itinerary, the program contains information about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007, upcoming events of interest, a list of community resources, a student evaluation form, and a campus map.
