SONJA'S GUESTS
Sonja Martinez writes: "My guests for a special Cinco de Mayo show on May 2, 2003 are: Tony Sinclair, Jessica Martinez Brooks & Los Viejitos." Sonja's monthly show at
Partners starts at 8PM.

The forms are also available at The Center, 2135 N.W. 39th Street.  The registration deadline for T-shirt sponsorship is May 6, 2003."

OKC VOLLEYBALL TEAM NEEDS PLAYERS
I meant to post this some time ago but I kept forgetting. Sorry guys! Joe Moore writes: "The Hail the Marys have gone through some personnel changes in the last few months and will be going through some more in the days ahead. Realizing that change is inevitable and mostly a good thing, we look forward to growing our team and want to invite all interested BB (intermediate level or higher) players to contact either myself or Sterling about joining our team. NAGVA - North American Gay Volleyball Association - is a non-discriminatory organization; so, our team can be comprised of males and females; gay or straight. Initial contact should be made via email, if possible, at:
jmoore59@swbell.net or peshlakia_n@hotmail.com. If email is not an option, interested persons may call me at (405) 440-9365."

INTERNSHIPS AVAILABLE
Internships are now available here at GayOKC.com. I am 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, a computer with Internet access, and, of course, some free time. If you are interested, or you know someone who is, please get in touch with me at
rabiera@gayokc.com.

QUIGLEY IN THE GAZETTE
Last week's Oklahoma Gazette has a few words from the Chicken Fried News writers for the administration of NW Classen High School regarding the bulletin board situation: "We at CFN think enough is enough. . . . Solve the mystery, already. We'll be waiting." Joe's last update on GayOKC.com is at
www.gayokc.com/quigley041103.htm.
