Milestones: Activity Groups

• 1978, Early
  Early in 1978, GROW (Gay Rights Organization of Waterloo) was formed. In December, 1978, after several months of difficulties, the group split into two groups: one called simply GROW (which devoted itself to arranging social activities for its members), and another called Gay Rights Organization of Waterloo (GROW) (which arranged some social activities, published a magazine, ran a radio show and engaged in political action). Both groups ran for several years. We are currently attempting to determine more dates.
• 1988, September
  Around September 1988, Women Out Of Doors (WOODS) began. It sponsored a wide variety of sports and recreational activities for women in the area. At some later point, it changed its name to Women Opening Doors Socially (WOODS). It is still in existence in 2011.

  In November of 1994, the Rainbow Chorus of Waterloo-Wellington was formed. It is still in existence in 2011.
• 1996, July 26 (Saturday)
  On July 26 (Saturday), 1996, the KW Front Runners began as a a running and swimming group for the rainbow communities. It ran until about September 1997.
