SAINTS AND ANGELS

Russian River Sisters' Saints, Angels and Guardian Angels

 

Over the years the Sisters have named as Saints, those who have helped on various projects

behind the scenes organizing, coordinating actions or projects, performing at events

as an artist or emcee or even serving the greater GLBTQI community.

 

We've also named Angels, who are specifically recognized for financial support of the Russian River Sisters.

 

The Russian River Sisters also bestow the honor of Guardian Angel upon certain members of the GLBT
community who have passed on, and to us, are our Guardian Angels as we all walk our journeys.

 

The Saints, Angels and Guardian Angels of the Russian River Order, by year, are:
