Pride in Dallas, the new organization formed to hold a Pride celebration and parade in September in Oak Lawn, will host an informational town hall Thursday, July 14, from 7-8:30 p.m.
at The Rose Room inside S4, 3911 Cedar Springs Road. Board Secretary Tracy Nanthavongsa said organizers will “introduce our team, present our plans and progress and answer questions that our constituents may have.
Our goal is to truly make this a community-driven Pride event, and our ears are open to all feedback.” In addition to Nanthavongsa, the Pride in Dallas board includes James Ware as president, Sameer Paroo as vice president, Andrew Vargas as treasurer, Donnesh Amrollah as marketing and creative director, Sage Thomas as media and community services director, Eddie Bridges as volunteer services director and Haley Ablon as a board member.
The group’s goal is to revive Dallas’ tradition of holding a Pride celebration and parade each September in the Gayborhood, raising funds from the community to cover the costs.
