Vermont Pride Outside our homes and work- places the signs of summer's return are still dubious at best. The green season is rapidly approaching and preparations are undenivay for this year’s Pride celebrations around the state in June. The 30 Days of Pride kick off again this year in Montpelier with a parade and community gathering at the State Capitol on June 1. The 20th Annual Pride Parade, Festival and Speak-Out in Burlington is set for Saturday, June 15. This year’s theme e "Peace and Unity. 20 years in A the making" - is a testament to the people and communities who have the struggle for love and acceptance of GLBTIQA people deeply ingrained in their hearts and actions. Before,June rolls into place though, Pride VT is look- ing for people who would like to organize events and activi- ties in their own communities during the 30 days. if you are interested or have an idea, please contact Kenny Hirschmann at 288-1588 for information on how Pride can assist in the process. We would like to thank everyone for the input and ' donations we are receiving from last month's Pride Survey. Copies can be found at 135 Pearl and in the March OITM. Each year Pride succeeds because of the work, passion . and coming together of people all over Vermont. If you would like to be a part, let us know. Pride VT committee members will be hosting 2 raf- fles at 135 Pearl in Burlington this month on Fridays: April 5 and April 12, during Womyn's Night and Shakti. It's a great ' way to twist and shake the win- ter cobwebs out of your body and contribute to this year’s events. . Also coming up soon is the Annual Silent Auction on Friday May 10. This year the auction has been moved to the St. John's Club in Burlington. There will be Karaoke Kapers with Bob Bolyard, food and many great items to bid on, so mark your calendars. und the state are encouraged to provide oming activities and events. Pride VT is looking for an MC or two for the Festival on June 15. if it's in your stars and speech to bless the com- munity during the performanc- es that day, then let us know by sending us a letter of up to 100 words on why or how you can enliven the proceedings. Send it to Pride VT, PO Box 1433, Burlington, VT 05401.
