Iris is the new lesbian resource group
in central Vermont. We meet from 6-8:00
p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays
of each month in Montpelier.

After a slow start during the summer
months, Iris has had an influx of enthusias-
tic wimmin and has turned out to be
Woman Centered's fastest growing group.
Popular events to date have included dis-
cussions on coming out and Vermont re-
sources for lesbians, a lesbian book night,
and a Halloween potluck. The average at-
tendance is six wimmin, which makes for a
comfortable atmosphere in which to share.

In addition to the Wednesday night
meetings, many Iris wimmin get togetherto
attend social events, work on their cars,
share support, go to the movies - you name
it! Upcoming events are listed in the Calen-
dar, and new ideas are always welcome.

For more infonnation, call Woman
Centered at 229-6202 or write Iris, 137
Barre Street, Montpelier VT.
