A look back at the first year of Rockville Open House

6/5/2011

This is my second attempt at writing this blog. The first attempt was deleted by accident. I wanted to look back on the year and write about some of my favorite highlights from the past year of gatherings, so here goes:
1. The very first Open House when the students who came were so excited that Rockville Open House existed that they immediately started thinking of ways that ROH could expand - such as with a queer prom in Montgomery County.
2. When one of the more artistic students involved with ROH came to my rescue and redesigned a promotional flyer I was trying to make but was actually butchering.
3. I was speaking at a local synagogue about LGBTQ concerns with a Hanukkah theme (see the previous post) and students from ROH came to hear me speak. 
4. The time Seth and Lindsay joined us from Sonic Promos to discuss PR and Marketing for ROH, and the student input at that Open House led to the expansion of our mission to include "friends and allies," and the strengthening of our program. 
5. When I accidently came across this youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZOaS5kbwPE) made after the very first Open House a year ago by one of our students that sang the praises of ROH and encouraged others to attend.

This has been an incredible year. I'm hoping to do some real outreach over the summer to local synagogues, youth groups, and LGBT organizations in the area to ensure that everyone knows about ROH. If you have a highlight from ROH you'd like to share, please feel free in the "Comments" section below. And I look forward to another great year with Rockville Open House! Thanks for making this year great!  Love, Rabbi Sarah

That was an amazing piece of work. Another piece of advice can be that people can always go for online educational schools to continue their educational career.
