OUTRIGHT Sponsors Logo Contest

OUTRIGHT VERMONT, an organi-
zation providing services for 1/g/b youth in
Vermont, announces a logo contest to gen-
erate a design for out T-shirt.

One of our themes is "You Are Not
Alone," and we thought that this could be
part of the T-shirt design. However, we are
open to other ideas and suggestions. We are
asking young people also to submit de-
signs. The winning logo will be chosen by
a committee of young people involved with
the organization.

Designs can be elaborate or simple.
These T-shirts will be available for pur-
chase at Gay Pride Day this June, through
OUTRIGHT, and at other events spon-
sored by OUTRIGHT. The winner of the
contest can choose to remain anonymous.

Our grand prize for the winning logo is
a free T-shirt and $20.00 gift certificate
from Dinner to Go in Burlington. Please
submit designs no later than May 27, 1991.
If you have any questions, contact OUT-
RIGHT at 865-9677 and/or send designs to
P.O. Box 5235, Burlington, VT 05402.

Lesbian Educators‘
Group Forms

April 14th was the initial meeting of
Vermont's first (as far as we know) lesbian
educators’ network and support group.
Those present shared what it is like to be a
lesbian in a public school setting. They
discovered the degree to which each of
them was "out" in school and offered sup-
port for the individual decisions each per-
son makes. The women expressed their
feelings of isolation and of apprehension at
the risks involved in working in this setting.
Sharing their stories was a powerful expe-

rience and one we hope will strengthen our
connections.

They plan to reconvene on Sunday,
May 19th from 3-5 p.m. at the home of one
of the members and invite you to join them.
For information and location call Karen at
865-2824 (if you leave your name and
number, she'll get back to you.)

community and investigate ways of build-
