Foothill Lesbians and Gays - A Social Network
F.L.A.G. is an organization serving the gay , lesbian and "gay friendly" community in the beautiful Sierra Foothills of Northern California.
Our goal is to create, and sponsor social gatherings and events that will appeal to the broad base of our group who enjoy getting together with others and sharing quality time and their experiences.
We believe that strong communities begin with solid relationships and our primary purpose is to build a greater sense of community through social interaction, open communication and shared information.
Membership is Free.
We do ask for a small donation at each event to cover the cost.
