A joint statement from Dryden Center for Community and Protagonist Books & Coffee:

We recognize that the upcoming event Sex Trivia has caused concern within the community. We want to address these concerns by stating that the event will still occur at the Dryden Center for Community (DCC). We support the event’s educational mission to provide a fun, supportive and safe environment for people to test their knowledge and learn together.

This aligns with the mission of DCC of diversity, inclusion and education by supporting this form of education and community building. The DCC supports Dryden small businesses as a gathering space for larger events and welcomes this event.

We are excited to kick off Pride Month together and encourage those interested in partaking in trivia to attend. But also, please check out all the other events that Dryden Center for Community is hosting as they are covering a broad range of interests and opportunities.

This Friday! Come to the Dryden Center’s first concert, with music by eight local artists. All proceeds benefit our scholarship fund, which covers cost barriers to our programming. Thank you to @practice.at for helping promote this event.

Join for a night of music on May 22! Concert proceeds will help us turn the sanctuary of the former Dryden United Methodist Church into a concert venue.

I’m excited to bring our Sing-a-Long for Sanity to the new Dryden Center for Community, led by my visionary friend Stephanie Ortolano!

Sing-a-Long for Sanity at Dryden Center for Community
Theme: Collective Power
Saturday, May 16, 6-9pm
9 E Main St, Dryden, NY 13053
Doors 5:30 • ALL AGES

This month’s theme is Collective Power!!! Songbooks provided.

I've decided that "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid is a feminist anthem (we can discuss), but it's in there along with "Masters of War" by Bob Dylan and "Holiday" by Madonna because we deserve to rest and celebrate, too!
