E-MEETING: San Francisco 101: Getting to Know The Sisters of the Perpetual Indulgence

In honor of Gay Pride Month, the Rotary Club of San Francisco will celebrate and learn from The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgences, a charity, protest, and street performance organization that uses drag and religious imagery to call attention to sexual intolerance and satirizes issues of gender and morality. During this presentation, Rotarians will have an opportunity to get to know Sister ZsaZsa Glamour and understand the services this Order provides to San Francisco and around the world.

The Sisters have grown throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, and South America, and are currently organized as an international network of orders, which are mostly non-profit, charity organizations that raise money for AIDS, LGBT-related causes, and mainstream community service organizations, while promoting safer sex and educating others about the harmful effects of drug use and other risky behaviors. In San Francisco alone where they continue to be the most active, between 1979 and 2007, the Sisters are credited with raising over $1 million for various causes, or almost $40,000 on average per year. 

Sister ZsaZsa Glamour has been a sister with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence since 1991. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, she was called to join the order after becoming friends with Sister Roma and Sister Blanche de Root. While the order has many projects, she has served as Producer of Project Nunway 666 (raised $11,000 in one night), numerous school visits, representing the order at Life Ball in Vienna, and booking the talent for the Halloween event from 1992-1995.

This is a regular membership meeting of The Rotary Club of San Francisco, open to all Rotarians, visiting Rotarians, prospective members, and guests.
