Social. Connection. Support.
Over the Rainbow Social Club serves as a safe, welcoming, and social gathering space for the mature and older generation of our LGBTQA+ community and allies!
OUR MISSION
Over the Rainbow strives to promote welcoming and supportive social interactions with group events that provide food, fun, and educational support to the older LGBTQA+ community.
Over the Rainbow connects lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender older adults with other like seniors, and enables networking between both older adults and their caregivers and friends. Both information and support is provided to the elderly LGBTQA+ community through social events, and encourages them to connect with area support services that allows them to age safely and with dignity.
Although this group is focused on the older LGBTQA+ generation, all are welcome to attend, enjoy, and support – together.
OUR EVENTS
MONTHLY DINNERS
Over the Rainbow has monthly dinners usually on the second Tuesday of every month. At least every other month the dinners occur at the House of Seven Gables in Salem, Massachusetts (115 Derby Street). Some months they occur at the Mayor Jean Levesque Community Life Center (401 Bridge Street in Salem). **MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE MONTHLY DINNER PAGE FOR SPECIFIC LOCATION EACH MONTH.
The monthly events start with a hors d’oeuvre/social hour from 5pm-6pm and dinner is served at 6pm. Each month Over the Rainbow strives to have a speaker and/or an activity during the dinner, including Halloween costume contests, Yankee swaps, and more. Past speakers have included organizational experts, medical specialists (on Medicare needs, prescription coverage, medical insurance, etc.), legal experts (on making out wills, trusts, mortgage matters, etc.), and fire and home safety and maintenance experts.
