LILAC is humming so come on in for some great reading plus our monthly events: Book Group, plus Lesbians do Lunch! We are having an open day in March as part of the Wellington Pride Festival. And our big event is the LILAC Fair on April 1st.
LILAC Fair Saturday 1st April 10:30am-3pm ... SAVE the date
LILAC have booked the Thistle Hall to hold a lesbian fair, partly as a fund raiser, but also as an opportunity for the community to gather and socialise. It will be a great opportunity for the arty and crafty amongst us to show or sell their creations. We’ll also have quality second-hand books, bric a brac, food, raffles and more. Lesbian organisations are welcome to host information stalls.
Fill in the Expressions of interest form to register your interest in having a stall - tell your lesbian friends who might be interested. Be in soon as the stalls are filling fast.
If any members are keen to help us organise the fair, please contact a Collective member or email lilac@lesbian.net.nz.
Note that LILAC Library will be closed on Fair Day.
Open Day at LILAC
LILAC is holding an Open Day on Saturday 11th March 11am-2pm to coincide with the Wellington Pride Festival.
There will be a display of lesbian classics from LILAC's collections ... from way back last century to more recent!

Tell your Lessie friends - bring them in for a visit!
