Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m helping organize Pink & Mo: A Night for Awareness at Rat Pak Venue in downtown Lafayette on Saturday, November 7 from 6–10 PM.

The event will support breast cancer awareness and men’s health awareness, with proceeds benefiting Community Cancer Network, which helps local cancer patients and their families.

We’re currently looking for local vendors who would like to set up during the event.

Vendor details:

  • $50 vendor fee
  • 100% of vendor fees benefit Community Cancer Network
  • Opportunity to sell/promote your products or services
  • Great chance to support a local cause and connect with the community
  • Food vendors are welcome, but must have the proper health department permit and receive final approval

The event will also include a DJ, drinks, signature cocktails, a silent auction, awareness/resources, and other fundraising activities.

If you’re interested in being a vendor, please message me or email [info@ratpakdjs.com](mailto:info@ratpakdjs.com) for details.

And please keep the comments kind, respectful, and on topic. This post is simply to connect with local vendors who may be interested in participating in a community fundraiser. Thank you!

Lafayette this week, Oct. 12–18: get out, meet people, help out

20 Upvotes

Back for week three... I think? Thanks for the suggestions and conversations so far. The goal is simple: help people know what’s happening, find places they like, and meet people they can make their own plans with. Its not an extensive list, and there are more on our website at setandsignal.com/dates that we will likely post about later this week. :)

I’m David with Set & Signal. Our events are marked below; everything else belongs to other organizers who are helping make Lafayette a vibrant place to be!

HELP OUT & MEET PEOPLE

Two ongoing options if you’d rather do something alongside people:

  • Food Finders: choose an available volunteer shift. Individuals welcome; register before going. Volunteer signup
  • LTHC: help serve meals and clean up. About 90 minutes; individuals and small groups welcome. Arrange a spot first. Volunteer details

These are ongoing opportunities, not confirmed openings for a particular day. Help your community out and put in those volunteer hours!

New to this Town so kinda trying to figure things out

17 Upvotes

Hey, I moved a few weeks ago to here and came from a smaller town, that wasn't as trans friendly or anything and was wondering what is there here to do trans friendly in general.

I know this is such a dumb post to make but its honestly just I'm like hyper shy, and honestly I don't know its just trying to make new friends and things. Only 22 years old; don't go to college anymore, just work all the time, so ya know.

Oh, and also any places here y'all suggest or think are worth visiting

Let’s get Batty, Indiana! 🦇 Help us make the Indiana bat our official state mammal!

Post image
92 Upvotes

For anyone who hasn't heard about our grassroots campaign yet, Our State, Our Bat is a citizen led effort to designate our incredible native Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) as our official state mammal! 🦇💚

What started as a simple idea has grown into an amazing statewide movement. Thanks to community members stepping up, we’ve already secured official municipal support, organizational backing, and best of all, a state representative who is officially authoring the bill for the upcoming 2027 legislative session!

Now, we are in the final home stretch. Our petition is currently sitting at 4,231 signatures, and our goal is to hit 5,000 by the end of this month when the campaign concludes, so we can prep our complete legislative packet.

We need all the support we can get from our local neighbors to cross that finish line. If you haven't signed yet, please take a quick second to add your name, and help us spread the word to your friends, family, and local groups.

Let’s make our little Hoosier Heroes official, Indiana! Sign the petition here: https://c.org/JrdDXNvVh8

Everyone wants to know what's in Ron's pockets. Marbles? Bagged mashed potatoes? Laundry detergent bound for marketplace?
