Let the Games begin-recruiting

To the Editors

Kudos to the many, many people involved in coordinating the financial presentation for the selection committee and securing Cleveland as the Gay Games venue.

Now, guys, gals and everyone in between: it's time to dust off and put away (for now) your leather and sequins. I'm sure there will be a time and a place for much fun and frivolity.

The gay community of Cleveland needs

to show up and volunteer for the Games. We need to show Boston and Chicago why we are "The Best Location in the Nation," gay or straight!
