The Vision:

Lane Billings is the organizer for a social club.  As the pandemic grew more and more people contacted Lane for assistance in those transitioning, affordable housing, fair employment, coming out, parenting and other LGBTQ+ needs.  Lane directed them to various groups and organizations.

Due to COVID the queer community had been isolated and disconnected.  It has become clear to Lane and the board that we need a centralized website of resources:  The North Shore LGBTQ+ Network.  
​
The end goal of the board will be an LGBTQIA+ Community Center in the North Shore.  A place where we can feel safe and where everyone is welcome.
