FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Friends:
Tr
f
"•hese are indeed busy days
for those of us actively
involved with Alternative Resources of
the Triad. Recently, the organization's
Board of Directors voted to take on a
sponsorship role with the 1996
Rainbow Ball and Reception for North
Carolina Pride '96. The Reception is
scheduled for June 8 in the Atrium area
of the Benton Convention Center. It
begins at 8 p.m. with hors d'oeuvres
and entertainment provided by Paris
LeBon and The Nuttie Butties. The
huge dance, which will follow the
reception at 10 p.m., promises to be
one of our community's most exciting
events this year.
While I have no doubt that the
Rainbow Ball will be a real blast, I
must admit that huge amount of work
involved in preparing for such an
undertaking can be somewhat
daunting. For that reason, I want to
take this opportunity to challenge
everyone who reads this newsletter to
volunteer their services to Pride '96.
Simply contact Pride at (910) 750-
0052, Ext. 1996. If you would, let the
organizers at Pride know you're
interested in helping with the Rainbow
Ball ~ believe me, we will warmly
welcome your assistance.
As you may have heard, the
Rainbow Ball is designed to have
something for everyone. If you're a
"Dancing Diva," we've got a
spectacular floor just for you. If you're
more comfortable in denim, boots, and
your   cowboy   hat.   you'll   love   the
country bar. Still, if you're into a more
intimate atmosphere, an elegant piano
bar is planned just for you.
I do hope all of you will take
an active role in this special event. It
is a tremendous way for ART to
increase its visibility in our community
while playing a pivotal part in making
NC Pride '96 a smashing success.
Cheers!
by Stephen Carrigan , President
