Coming events at LILAC
Lesbian coming out meet-up
Saturday 17th January 2-4pm
A quarterly event hosted at LILAC for women who have recently come out, or are thinking about
coming out as lesbian, to meet in a relaxed and supportive social environment. Pass it
on - let your friends know!
Held quarterly on the third Saturday of the month.
Digitising The Circle - New Zealand's first lesbian journal
LILAC's collection of The Circle is now at NZ Micrographics for digitisation. In Phase 2 of the project we will work out how to host the digitised versions online and manage access, and comply with any copyright requirements. Part of this will involve seeking agreement from as many original contributors as possible for the material to be made available in this way to our members, or by arrangement to non-members. If you are an original Circle contributor or if you know anyone who is, who might be interested to know about this project, please email us at librarian@lesbian.net.nz.
Jaimie's paintings
Coming this month by an exhibition of original paintings by Jamie Manhire. Jamie is a local fine arts student who will be known to those who drop in at LILAC on Wednesdays when she volunteers at the desk.

This is a discussion group for LILAC members that meets on the last Friday of the month (usually), to discuss a range of topics, from intersectional feminism, issues particular to older and younger lesbians.
