Brazos Valley QueSt is proud to unveil the funds raised at the 2007 Spring GAYla: Mobsters & Molls.

$ 3,000 in net proceeds from the event will be used to support Aggie ALLIES and the BV QueSt OUTreach grant.

• $ 1,200 will go to Aggie ALLIES, a safe-zone program at Texas A&M Univeristy has over 650 members across the campus. We are proud to support this wonderful program and the education it provides to its members.
• $ 1,800 will be put into the OUTreach grant fund. Throughout the year, BV QueSt will give grants to qualifying local groups providing queer/ally programming. We are excited at the chance to sponsor a wide variety of programs and help groups bring in bigger speakers and other unique programs.

Thank you to all who were able to attend. It was a fun and lively crowd, with many guests in costume. We were thrilled to see so many flappers and gangsters and molls. Keep checking the website; we’ll post pictures as we get permission from folks!

As always, BV QueSt is seeking volunteers. We have specific needs in the areas of Finances and Information. If you are interested or would like more information, email
