New Mexico ManREACH Gathering at Black River
When: Fri, August 27 – Mon, August 30
Where: Black River Center for Learning, Carlsbad

The goal of New Mexico ManREACH is to build heart centered connections and community among rural gay and bisexual men in southern New Mexico. ManREACH (REACH stands for Rural Education in Action for Community Health) embraces the belief that the individual benefits that come from being part of a community are not just social, but emotional, mental, physical and spiritual, too. For that reason, New Mexico ManREACH has been created to provide us with safe, comfortable, recreational drug- and alcohol-free environments where we can relax, enjoy ourselves, share our stories and begin charting a course for our community's future.

The Gathering at Black River promises to be an exciting and memorable experience for all who attend. Here gay and bisexual men from throughout the region will come together for four days and three nights of sharing, learning and fun.

This summer a powerful community building experience for gay and bisexual men is coming to southern New Mexico. Please accept this invitation to join New Mexico ManREACH at either of the upcoming Community Dinners to learn more about ManREACH and the Gathering at Black River in August. Dinner and refreshments provided by New Mexico GLBTQ Centers.
