Beginning last November, QPGC has been partnering with Paddy’s in Ventura for a range of Gay-tastic activities, beginning with the Nov. 16 Drag Queen Bingo.

With donations from Coast 2 Coast Gifts, Princess Ziah Creations, Island Packers Cruises, The Barbershop at The Collection, Neil The Wandmaker and more, hostess/star Michelle Chakra and organizer Kevin Mashburn raised funds to help Quilt Project in our AIDS awareness efforts. A Quilt and photograph of David Reynoso a/k/a “Spanky” provided the backdrop to the game (see above), and the next fundraiser will occur next November 15, 2026. In addition, QPGC now stocks safer sex packets at Paddy’s to help our community play safe and stay safe!
