ARE YOU A FRIEND OF ONE?

ONE, Incorporated 232 South Hill Street Los Angeles 12, Calif.

This magazine is only a small, though a very important, part of the work of ONE, Incorporated. ONE Magazine, "The Voice of U.S. Homosexuals," sells for a price of 50¢, but lacking highpriced advertising, large financial backers or a much larger circulation, neither the magazine nor the rest of the Corporation's work could be turned out for that price. ONE, Incorporated was set up in 1952 to carry on various activities leading to the assistance and understanding of the homosexual, and his integration into society. Since that time, a handful of ONE's readers have been supporting the work with gifts ranging from one to a rare five hundred dollars. It is these gifts that keep our offices open, that help us provide, in person or by mail, some limited services to homosexuals in difficulty, that support our research and educational programs. Without these gifts, and in the absence of any single large donor in the entire eight years of ONE's existence, we could not have kept going.

The Corporation members decided several years ago to set up a category of non-voting membership in the Corporation (voting membership is limited by our corporate charter under California law to nine persons) called "The Friends of ONE," and to issue for them a publication called ONE Confidential, a behind-thescenes newsletter to help them feel more a part of ONE. Published quarterly at first, and now monthly, ONE Confidential contains news of ONE's program and problems, a more intimate portrayal of the people who work on ONE, newsbits you won't find anywhere else, and a number of choice special features that could not appear in ONE Magazine, some perhaps a bit too warm for newsstand distribution.

On the other side of this sheet is a "sample" first page of Confi. We hope that you will become a "Friend of ONE," that you will participate financially and in other ways in the work ONE is doing in the attempt to improve the conditions of homosexual men and women in society today. The Friends of ONE are those who support ONE's work: financially; by sending in news clippings and accounts; by helping build the Corporation in their own communities; by contributing to our Library; by writing for our publications; by getting new subscribers; and in many other ways.

The last page of this form contains a description of the three different categories of membership available to Friends of ONE, and an application blank which we hope you will fill out and return to this office immediately.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors, ONE, Incorporated
