Get ready to have a great time the first two Fridays in March. March 6 at 10:30
PM will be After the Leather '98: The Great Leather Campout at the Silver
Star, sponsored by T.U.L.S.A. It will benefit the Pride Center and the Food Ba~ ..
I've been assured that this will be a show that you'll never forget; something
you've never seen before and it should be a fun time for all. It will also include an
auction and collection of canned food for the Food Bank.
Also, March 13 at 10:30 PM also at the Silver Star will be a benefit by the Git Up •
& Go Girls for the Pride Picnic. This will provide the working capital for setting
up this year's picnic. Both of these events are very important for the continued •
success of both the Pride Center and the Pride Picnic, so please make every effort
to be there. Both events will be a blast, so don't miss out! You don't want to have
to explain why later!
Well, once again bandits have absconded with the
Pride Flag frorr..the top of the Pride Center. We're working on new security measures to deter thiev- •

Our apologies go to those of you who have come
by the Pride Center only to find the Pride Store
closed. We've been working to get the change of
ownership in place and things look good for us to
be open no later than March 1. Tentatively
planned hours will be: Sunday - Friday 6:00 PM 9:00 PM and Saturday Noon - 9:00 PM. We'll
continue to offer the same quality merchandise
and the option of special ordering items which we
may not carry. Call the Pride Center number
(743-4297) for more information. Hope to see you
there soon!!!

A work day has been scheduled at the Pride Center for Saturday, March 21st at
Noon. We have several projects that need to be completed, so if you have special
talents with electrical wiring, plumbing, painting, or just general work, we've got
the work to do. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
