PFLAG
LOBBY DAY
Rob Howard, president of the new OKC PFLAG,
writes: Several of the PFLAG chapters in Oklahoma
are planning a lobbying day at the state capitol on
April 30. We would meet with Keith Smith, (a lobbyist
as well as the chair of Stonewall Democrats) at 9:30
in the rotunda. The intent is to have packets of
information to pass out to all representatives and
senators.
If you are interested in participating in this event,
please let me know (by email to OKCPFLAG@AOL.COM)
OKC PFLAG will be meeting Thursday evening,
April 17, at 7PM at First Unitarian Church, 600 NW 13th
Street.
GOODBYE
MICHAEL COFFMAN
I'm sorry to report that GayOKC.com is
losing its latest intern, Michael Coffman. Michael is
preparing to move to Arizona to begin graduate
school, and between that and family responsibilities,
his time for the foreseeable future is spoken for. I
feel that I had just barely started to work with
Michael, who I'll remember for his sense of
professionalism, among other things. I'm sure it will
stand him in good stead wherever his life ends up
taking him.
INTERNSHIPS
AVAILABLE
Needless to say, this leaves an opening here
at GayOKC.com for an intern (actually several if I
could get them!). I am desperately in need of someone
who can go out and cover events and write reports on
them to post on GayOKC.com, which is something I
unfortunately do not have time to do myself. This is
an unpaid position, and as such is entirely dependent
on what you are willing to volunteer to put the time
and effort into doing. This is a great way to learn
about OKC's GLBT Community. You must have your own
transportation and a computer with Internet access.
If you are interested, or you know someone who is,
please get in touch with me at rabiera@gayokc.com.
