I don’t have a lot to contribute this month as most of my energy has been spent on lining up venues for the Helen and Betty visit.

Helen and Betty Visit
We have confirmed Loganberry Books as a Warm up for Friday. The Saturday venue, “C-Space” has fallen through. We are confirmed at Pilgrim UCC on Sunday at 10:30 am, and they’ve put together a beautiful flyer for the event (see below). We are also planning a reception/party at Bounce Nightclub Sunday evening and I should have more information about that by the time I get to the AO meeting on Saturday. Anyone with any ideas for venues for Saturday, or other venues for Friday or Sunday, please let me know.

Transfamily
I'd like also to commemorate the relocation of Transfamily from our friends Bob and Karen Gross' house to the LGBT center on the West Side of Cleveland. Transfamily has been supporting people affected by those who transition and those who transition themselves for 14 years now. At a celebration held at the Center in mid-April they were presented numerous awards for their service to the community. They meet on the the 2nd Saturday of every month from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm.

Oral Histories
Also, I ran into Lisa from the GLBT archive project. She'd love to collect oral histories from people who know about the good old days in Cleveland and any written materials people might like to donate. If anyone wants to talk to her earlier please let me know. I'd love to line her up as a speaker for either June or the fall.
