Hello hello! Does anyone else feel like our queer+allied community here in Cache Valley is getting stronger? While several issues (new and old) are still very present, I’m proud of our community for creating affirming spaces, offering allied events, and loudly taking up space.
This month’s community meeting will be held Tuesday, May 26th at the Cache Valley Unitarian Universalists Church at 596 E 900 N, Logan, UT. Social hour + food (Pizza, salad, and hummus dip!) will begin at 6:00 pm. The meeting will start at 7:00 pm. You can come in person or via Zoom. Email us for the link!
We don’t have a sign up list for the social hour food this month. We will be providing the pizza, salad and hummus. However, we invite anyone to bring chips or a dessert to add to the table!

April Meeting Recap
The Collective in Action
Last month, we helped organize supplies and people to help a local trans person move. We hope to offer similar support for those who need it through our own efforts, and within our collaboration with Cache Valley Mutual Aid.
We’ve also been in the process of developing plans for a Pride event this June with Mystik Collective! Come to our meeting, and/or keep an eye on our socials to find out how you can participate.
Merch for The Cache LGBTQ+ Collective
We’re excited to be developing merchandise to rep the Collective! Some designs may have our name & logo, and others may have our more subtle flower icon. More info to come!
Collective Steward Elections
Steward applications are now closed, but elections are next up! We hope to get our new stewards rolling soon. Thank you so much to everyone who applied, and folks who helped us spread the word.
