The Prom is open to GLBTQ people and straight allies who are 13-20 years old. The prom will have a professional DJ, karaoke, lighting, a fog machine, celestial decor, photography, commemorative programs and gifts, and contests. 50 teens and 30 volunteers from Summit and Stark counties attended the prom last year; more are expected this year. The theme of this year's prom, as decided by the teen prom-planning committee, is "A Walk in the Clouds".

March 14, 2004: Come to meetings Unitarian Universalist Church of Akron at 3300 Morewood Rd. (a street off Market across from Summit Mall) from 6:00 to 7:30 PM every Monday starting on Monday January 19th (room/location to be posted at entryway - probably Room #4). Feel from to email us (glamour@glay.org) for directions, or check out mapquest.com for directions as well.

The change in location happened for a few reasons, all of which we feel will better the group. The UU church offers a safe environment for us with space and parking.

The group also chose Saturday, May 1 as the night for the prom, to be held at the same church. We are grateful to the church for providing a space for us !
