It’s officially Pride Month but it’s also the start of a trek for dozens of valley residents from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The annual AIDS/Lifecycle raises money for HIV/AIDS services and raise HIV/AIDS awareness.
From KGAY’s DJ Galaxy to EMC’s Brett Klein and volunteer Chiro Dr. Jim Cox from DAP Health, many of my friends participate each year. It’s a worthy cause to support and you can even watch it online. DJ Galaxy will be doing his Retro Lunch mixes from the road each day in addition to riding! That’s dedication.
It’s officially Restaurant Week in Greater Palm Springs, so you have an excuse to eat out more and try a new place or three. There are many new restaurants along with perennial favorites. And it may be your last chance as a few choose to close during the summer.
Be sure to listen to KGAY 106.5 Palm Springs no matter whether you’re near or far from the Coachella Valley. Enjoy this great weekend in #GreaterPalmSprings
