THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Last month's scheduTed GSO benefit at The Bar was canceTTed due to the decision
of the AIcohoIic Beverage ControI Board to deny the owners of The Bar permission
to open on Sunday.
At the Tast minute, we moved to the Circus Disco (a private cIub). As a sociaT
event, it was a great success. We didn't make big bucks, but gosh we had a good
time!
Thanks to the owners of The Bar for their heTp and time spent trying to change
the minds of the foTks in Frankfort. And, thanks to the staff of The Bar for
spreading the word on the change of Iocation.
A speciaT thanks to Rick Barnett and Greg ButTer for their support and for just
being therell
Donations at the benefit $580.00
Rentai of disco 400.00
Beer for benefit 140.00
TotaT $$ for GSO $ 40.00
Each month at GSO meetings our big discussion is money. BasicaTTy, we have none.
Last month, after much anguish, the Board decided that the best way to cut our
expenses woqu be to print a bi—montth newsTetter. This was a reaT tough decision.
A11 of us reaTize that our newsTetter is the onIy contact we have with Tots of
gay men and Tesbians in our community.
WeTT, foTks, we have a reverse decision. Thanks to a much needed and appreciated '
donation of $100.00, we wiTT have a November newsIetter. MANY THANKS TO THE DONORll
There is stiTT the possibiTity of us going to a bi-montth printing, but with
everyone's heTp, this won't have to happen. As I said Iast month, Reaganomics is
reaTTy out there, but with everyone's continued support, WE WILL SURVIVE.
