Happy Thanksgiving 🧡🦃🧡
***an 🌈

Our shirts are here! Thank you Gay Area Clothing Co. for helping to design and for producing our first ever league shirt for the Sonoma County Pride Bowling League.

In addition to these amazing shirts, the Pride League and Gay Area Clothing donated 20% of shirt purchases to a local LGBTQIA+ non-profit. So far, we have donated $500 to Positive Images 💙

Bowling is great, but it’s great to have a safe place for our local LGBTQIA+ community to gather, socialize, and have fun. If you are looking to join, we start again in early January 2024…. More to come on the winter/spring season.

👕 Ben Mahurin
If you missed out on your shirt, connect with Gay Area Clothing and they can get you set up.
