BY DAVID GRAMLING

The 5th annual VCLGR

Saturday, November 8th at
Rutland High School. This
year's Keynote presenter is
Karen Williams, nationally
known lesbian African-Ameri-
can comedian and educator.
Ms. Williams’ fabulous presen-
tations combine sex awareness,
sexual difference, anti-racism,
and social justice in a comic
brew which is certain to be a
long-remembered event of

growth and connection in gay .

Vermont.

Workshops will include
Ms. Williams‘ ”Let’s Laugh
About Sex”, as well as work-
shops on social justice, second-
parent adoption, the current

dynamics of the Vermont Free-

dom to Marry process, queer .

youth voices, challenges in
glbtq youth service providing,
issues in the national media,
and Vermont regional and lo-
cal gay, lesbian, bisexual, and
transgender issues. The Con-
ference Committee invites any
and all to propose workshops
or caucuses which work with
themes of importance to glbtq
people, Values, spirits, pets,
foods, cultures, identities, fu-
tures, and pasts. If you and a
friend would like to lead a
workshop presentation or fa-
cilitate a caucus group discus-
sion, please call David in the
next few days at 388-0750. We
won't FedEx a proposal form
to you, but we'll get one out as
quick as possible. Act now, or
forever hold your workshop—
at least till next year. For those

who've already proposed
workshops or caucuses, we
will be contacting you by Sep-
tember 25th.

On the day of the confer-
ence, elections will be held to
create next years VCLGR

well as two Chair positions
will be filled at that time.
Please consider nominating
yourself or a friend for these
positions. Please call Judith
Lashof at 623-6131 with nomi-
nations.

The following is a sur-
vey which VCLGR will use to
choose new and/ or tradition-
based directions for the next
year. It should take only as
long as it takes to drink a hot
bev. Please help us out to shape
and renew our Coalition vision
for 1997-1998.
