R.U.1.2? Dinner: Bon
Appetitl

The R.U.1.2? Queer
Community'Center annual
fundraising dinner and silent
auction will spotlight Vermont
transman and author Eli Clare
as the keynote speaker. The
dinner will be held on April 16

at the Wyndham Hotel (for-
merly the Radisson) In
Burlington.

Clare is the author of
Exile and Pride: Disability,
Queerness, and Liberation
(South End Press, 1999), and
has been a trans and disabili-
ty activist for the past several
years. He is currently a staff
member at‘the LGBTQAA
Services Center at the
University of Vermont.

About half of the
money received in conjunc-
tion with the dinner goes
toward meeting 10 percent of
the center's general operating
budget

The center’s budget
increased substantially with a
major grant from the Vermont
Department of Health to fund
an AIDS prevention program.
The funds allow Us to expand
the “Health and Wellness
Program” beyond its current
anti-smoking and chat-room
safe—sex information activi-
ties. Shawn Lipenski has
been hired as a fulltime staff
member to coordinate the
program.

The program will.
focus 80 percent of its time
and resources on AIDS pre-
vention specifically directed at
men who have sex with men,

15 percent on tobacco cessa-
tion for all community mem-
bers and concentrating on
‘cultural competency training’
for healthcare practitioners
through the Vermont Diversity
Health Project,-and 5 percent
on other projects. The center,
which currently has five part-
and full-time employees, is
awaiting the results of grant
applications to fund women's
health projects.V
