The Vincent R. Johnson Models of Hope Awards will be held at the Sandia Resort and Casino on Februuary 20, 2009 between the hours of 6pm - 11pm. Pride & Equality is partnering with Common Bond / Under 21. After disbanding in December or 2007, the organization, after many phone calls wondering where the youth should go, has reformed for the commmunity. Common Bond’s Under 21 Group is a weekly gathering in a cool and safe space for gay, lesbian, bisexu-al, transgender, two-spirit, and questioning youth under 21 years of age. We realize the importance of an organization of this nature and will do what we can to help it stay around. Proceeds from the silent auction go to benefit Common Bond / Under 21
