TDOV is dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide. Did you know that there are approximately 40 million transgender people worldwide? Two million in the U.S. alone. United we stand. The William A. Sievert Scholarship. 100% of the donations collected for the scholarship fund go to the students. 100%. We make this happen with the Triangle Connection organization paying all administrative fees. For example, when you buy raffle tickets at Meet & Greets (and any other donations to TC), that money is part of TC operating budget and about 20% of the funds annually are used to pay the administrative costs to manage the William A. Sievert Scholarship enabling all donations to scholarship to go directly to the well deserving students. Donations: Please make your check payable to William A. Sievert Scholarship Fund and mail to Triangle Connection, P.O. Box 382, Mt. Dora, FL 32757. Mark your Calendars for June 20, 2020 Lake County Pride event.

Below is a link to this Pride group’s official website to obtain more information, volunteer, and leave a message to inquire about the group and plans in general. 800+ TC friends strong. When you look at the 610 email addresses our newsletter is sent to, 565+ FB followers, and knowing there are some duplicates between the two, it appears our TC population is at least 800 people strong. We are a diverse population of LGBTQ+ people and allies. While mostly in central Florida, we have FB followers all over Florida, the U.S., and some followers as far away as Canada, Africa, South America, Europe, and Asia. Yes, TC is an international community of friends. In loving memory of Kevin Barnicle: Our dear friend Kevin passed away in late 2019. Kevin and Philip Tomarchio have been part of our Triangle Connection community for many years, and Kevin is greatly missed by Philip and all of us. Philip recently told me that prior to Kevin’s passing the two of them had planned to make a donation to the William “Bill” A. Sievert Scholarship Fund to assist local high school students to attend college. I saw Philip in downtown Mt Dora last week and he quietly slipped me a check payable to the scholarship fund in Kevin’s memory. The amount is significant and greatly helps us support more worthy students. I know Kevin must be looking down and smiling at this announcement. It should do all our hearts good today. Philip, the Triangle Connection family thanks you for this special contribution and please know it will be put to good use for these students in Kevin’s memory. Kevin Barnicle - 1947-2019
