The Gay Women's Gathering will take place on Wednesday, June 26^th, from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, located at The Village at Ed Gould Plaza, 1125 North McCadden Place, in Los Angeles.

Critical information such as choosing a sperm donor safely, getting pregnant through artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization, and understanding your legal rights and requirements will all be explored in a relaxed, conversational way.

"As the only inclusive national fertility association, we're honored to host this event in collaboration with California Cryobank," said Ken Mosesian, Executive Director of The AFA. He continued, "We've assembled a fantastic team of presenters who can answer all the questions that our audience members may have. They include Cynthia Fruchtman, JD and Mousa Shamonki, M.D. of UCLA Dept. of Obstetrics & Gynecology."

"Finding a sperm donor, selecting an insemination procedure, and protecting both parents' legal rights can all have significant long-term financial, medical, and emotional impact on a lesbian family," stated Scott Brown, Director of Client Experience & Communications at California Cryobank, who is also on the faculty for the event. Brown further stated, "California Cryobank is proud to be part of this incredibly important evening of family building education and support."

Though the evening is focused on the lesbian community, family, friends, and supporters are encouraged to attend as well. A light meal will be served and gift bags with educational content will be given to all participants.

The evening is free, but reservations are requested by calling Corey Whelan at 718-853.1411 or via email.
