About this Event
A coffee klatch is a social event used in rural areas all over New England since the revolutionary war and by queer people for even longer for neighbors to get to know one another and learn about important transitions & issues in one another's lives. At most Q-MoB Coffee Klatches everyone has the opportunity to introduce themselves and discuss a question or topic suggested by the host, as well as chat informally to one another. We also set aside about 20-30 minutes to schedule social, recreation, &/or arts/culture activities for queer men in North Berkshires, Southwest VT, & northern hill towns.
IMPORTANT: To help bring you more of the kinds of activities you most want to get to know your queer male neighbors in the North Berkshires/Southwest VT/Northern HIll Towns at this cofffee klatch we will spend a few minutes brainstorming & planning social, recreation, & arts/culture activities for queer men in this region. Bring your ideas about the activities you’d most like to host or participate in.
SEEKING INTERGENERATIONAL CO-HOSTS: Q-MoB is looking for several intergenerational co-hosts for this monthly Queer Men's Coffee Klatch. Hosts get to know everybody, welcome people, invite them to wear a nametag, have people fill out the attendance form, facilitate an opening circle where everyone is encouraged to briefly introduce themselves, welcome newcomers & make sure they get included, make announcements about upcoming Q-MoB activities, & encouage participants to host activities in North Berkshires/Southwest VT like hikes, potlucks, game nights, arts/culture activities, etc., & make sure the community table is cleaned up at the end. Please if you want to learn more about co-hosting this or any of our Coffee Klatches:
