Last chance to renew your membership
before rates increase
This is your last chance to renew your PFLAG
membership before rates go up. PFLAG National is
increasing the amount each chapter must submit to the
national office for each chapter member. In order to
maintain sufficient funds for our local chapter, we decided at
our last meeting to increase dues beginning January 1, 2005.
For single persons the rate will go up from $25 to $30; for
family membership the increase will be from $35 to $50;
and for students from $15 to $20.
Renew before December 31 at the old rates:
Individual membership $25
Household $35
Angel $100 or more
Student/Low income $15
Make your check payable to Greensboro PFLAG and
bring it to the next meeting or mail your check to Greensboro
PFLAG, P.O. Box 4153, Greensboro NC 27404.
Linda Stroupe asks to retire as chapter
coordinator
Linda Stroupe has asked to retire as official chapter
coordinator. Linda has done an excellent job during the past
several years, keeping the Greensboro PFLAG chapter
running smoothly. She says she will continue to do outreach
activities.
Now we hope that one of our chapter members will
agree to step up and fill Linda's shoes.
QuiBford Green grant received
Greensboro PFLAG has received a total of $2,500
from the Guilford Green Foundation. This includes $2,000
for leadership development and $500 for newsletter and
publications. We are deeply grateful for the continued
support from GGF. The Guilford Green Foundation raises
money for many Greensboro area LGBT organizations,
including GLASS, the support program for gay and lesbian
youth, and GLSEN, which works to eliminate homophobia
in schools, as well as PFLAG.

Welcome to PFLAG. We offer a safe, confidential space in
which to explore our feelings and understandings about the gay
experience, especially "coming out" and what this means to
families and other loved ones. Listen and share as much or as
little as you feel comfortable with, knowing that others can
understand. Welcome especially to our returning members
whose love is so healing.
Local cable channel to focus on LGBT
community
Greensboro's public access TV channel, Cable
Channel 8, is planning a month-long festival spotlighting the
local LGBT community to be shown in February 2005.
Each week two nationally distributed documentaries will be
shown and different local groups will be highlighted Cable
8 has previously aired a panel discussion program featuring
members of PFLAG (now on DVD if you missed it).
Plans are to create several programs about the local
community, including these local individuals and
organizations: GLSEN, GLASS, local churches, David and
Joan Parker, Triad Business and Professional Guild,
PFLAG, and the Guilford Green Foundation.
Documentaries to be shown include
Week 1 - Focus on the Black Community
"A Different Kind of Black Man" and "Tongues Untied"
Week 2 - Focus on the Lesbian community
"A Union in Wait" (recounting the struggle of Susan Parker
and Wendy Scott to have their union ceremony in Wake
Forest University's chapel) and "No Secret Anymore: The
Times of Del Martin & Phyllis Lyon"
Week 3 - Focus on Transgender issues and workplace issues
"Just Call Me Kade" and "Out of Work"
