Location: St. Hilary's Episcopal Church House, 11305 Hesperia Rd, Hesperia, CA 92345

An afternoon of Holiday Cheer & Connection

Join us for a magical afternoon filled with the spirit of the season:

• Socializing and Spreading Warmth: Connect and build lasting relationships with fellow members and allies of the LGBT+ community, wrapped in the cozy glow of the holidays.

• Illuminating Our Past: Learn about the bright and rich history of the LGBT+ rights movement—our own kind of holiday miracle!

• Celebrating Our Sparkle: Honor the brilliant and vibrant diversity of the LGBT+ community right here in the High Desert.

• The Enchanted White Elephant Gift Exchange

How White Elephant works:

1. What to bring: A wrapped mystery gift valued at $25 or less. Unleash your inner Santa! Think sparkling, silly, or wonderfully practical.

2. How the Magic Works: We'll draw numbers to determine the order of gift selection. The first person unwraps a surprise. Each subsequent person can either open a new, sealed gift or 'steal' a previously opened treasure, adding a twist of holiday mischief!
