festive Tulsa has had. If you

the Activities Director or
Fundraising Coordinator please
contact Debbie Starnes or
Miriam Childers, 743-4297,
for more information.

The TOHR testing clinic has a
great need for volunteers. If
you think that it is just for
people who can test and
counsel for IIlV, it is not the
case. With the number of
clients increasing by almost
400 percent, there is a great
need for volunteers that do not
test and counsel. There is an
enormous
amount
of
paperwork to be put together,
condoms to separate and
package, and clients to greet
Any help you can provide will
be greatly appreciated. For
more information, please
contact Claudette Peterson at
742-2927.
TOHR still has two positions
open for members-at-large.
These positions are • the
Activities Director and the
FWldraising
Coordinator.
These are two of our most
import.ant positions and for the
events we have planned, we
will be W18ble to operate
without them. Please contact
Debbie Starnes or Miriam
Childers at 743-4297 for more
information.

Any help or assistance you can
provide will be greatly
appreciated.

We want the facts to fit the preconceptions.
When they don't, it is easier to ignore the facts
than to change the preconceptions.
