The Lesbian Community Care Project marked 20 years as an official non-profit in Chicago during an event July 25. LCCP, which was started as Lesbian Community Cancer Project, is now part of Howard Brown Health Center. Early meetings for the group started around 1990, and it was formally organized in 1993.

At the event, dozens of photos from LCCP’s past events were spread out for people to identify. Attending were LCCP co-founders Nancy Lanoue and Suzanne Kraus, while other co-founders sent well wishes. There were also past staff and board members, and current LCCP Manager Betsy Rubinstein.

Mary Morten, who is co-chairing the Garden of Eve benefit for HBHC Sept. 13 at the River East Art Center, also interviewed attendees on video for a film being made about LCCP.
