Minutes: 11/4/98 As Told by Tina Cruz, secretary Tonight a bunch of LGBA members are going down to meet with GLYS and present a GRASP program... hopefully all goes well in what we're all hoping is the first of several collaborations with them. No Frills was this past Saturday, thanks to all who participated and attended. Escorting this past Saturday at the WomenServices clinic was @ 11:30 instead of 8am to confuse anti-abortion protesters - it worked! LGBA received $1000.00 from the powers that be for our conference in March; this is about a fifth of what we spent last year, so Kim and the conference committee and some officers are working on finding out if there are ways for us to somehow get more funding... as of right now, the conference is still on... Members present voted to join The National Collegiate Pride Association, at a membership fee of $75.00 SA is establishing a Diversity Awareness Council... anyone interested in information about this, or in possibly being on this council, contact Kimberly... someone present suggested that LGBA's participation in this group might aid our ongoing attempts to be classified as a minority club, rather than as a special interest organization Ways in Being Gay continues @ Hallwalls, stop by the office and check out or pick up a calendar of events... Movie night in the office (362 SU) this Friday the 13th at 8pm... bring some food, come and hang out Charlie Lewis from the Buffalo News reiterated what he said at last week's meeting about the photo-essay he wants to do about a gay student; he elaborated a little more about what he's looking for - someone currently in a gay relationship, someone willing to work with him over the next couple of months or so, someone who's pretty "active" about their queer sexuality...? see last week's minutes for info on how to reach him, or stop by the office and pick up one of his business cards, and ask him for yourself what exactly it is that he wants if you think you might be able to help him. Our own Tina Barfoot is pictured in the latest issue of Time Magazine on page 60, escorting a patient into the WomenServices clinic.
