Can you talk about a tradition after something happened twice? Probably not.
But you certainly can say that it was a second time successful! Different place, different women, great food, lively conversations ….

Sounds like you’d like to give it a go next time? And you are a 40/5er? (40 years or older and have identified as a lesbian for at least 5 minutes ;) )

Then join us at the next a potluck brunch on Sunday, 20 June, 10.30am at Megan and Estelle’s at 1/55 Newington Road in Henderson.

If you want to know more please contact Megan or Estelle on 826 3325 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

See you there!
   

Chair’s Annual Report 2010

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Written by Arafelle Saturday, 15 May 2010 13:14

This is the third Auckland Lesbian Elders Village Inc. AGM. The last AGM was held on 10 May 2009. For the remainder of last year and the beginning of this we have continued to work towards our vision of providing affordable accommodation options for older lesbian women. Regular meetings have been held each month at the Auckland Women’s Centre. Later in 2009, to hasten the project’s progress, we began supplementing these meetings with extra meetings, held a fortnight in between at individual houses. On average seven to eight women have attended meetings, with an average of five apologies being received each time. The largest number to attend a meeting was twelve at the 2010 Summer Hui and the smallest number was four at one
of the regular meetings. Overall membership currently stands at twenty-five and we have one associate member.

The main theme of this year’s work has been: How do we finance the project of building a Lesbian Elder’s Village?

40/5 Potluck Brunch

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

On a beautiful late Sunday morning the inaugural 40/5 brunch was held in Grey Lynn. There were lovely things to eat and a nice group of 40/5 lesbians sitting together, chatting, bonding, reconnecting or getting to know each other. Women had been friends beforehand, had seen others somewhere, or were totally new to each other. Whatever the history was: the day was leading us to somewhere new and exciting.

What is a ‘40/5 lesbian’ you might ask? Well, we in LEV thinks it is a woman who is 40 years or older and has identified as a lesbian for at least 5 minutes ;)

So if you are a 40/5er and would like to join us on a potluck brunch to connect with likeminded women and build a community that supports its members we would like to invite you to the next brunch on Sunday, 16 May, 10.30am at Ellen and Ricky’s at 1 Fergusson Avenue in Sandringham.

If you want to know more please contact Ellen or Ricky on 845 0393 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

See you there!
