June 27th 2009 – The Bridge, the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgendered community council of Glens Falls, NY, is offering several events this summer aimed at “Bridging the Gap” of LGBT services and community outreach programs from Saratoga to Plattsburgh. Several events are family friendly and at no or low-cost.

The LGBT Meet & Greet at Wallabee’s Jazz Bar is offered the first Thursday of every month from 5:30-8:30PM. There is no cost, but there is a suggested $5 donation at the door.
