Dear friends,

As the largest repository of gay /feminist/minority-related books periodicals, records and memorabilia since the Nazis burned Hirschfeld's Institute in 1933, we have aided many activists, media people, students and researchers nationwide, without public funding. Now a tax deduc,table educational institution, we are settling into our new public quarters and seeking financing to expand our services worldwide..

But this is more a request for MATERIALS THAN FOR

Hotline benefited

Technical ficulties never stop true performers and despite problems which delayed the start of the Hotline Benefit at Another Place on May 23rd, Ray & Company, Miss D., Melissa Ross, Miss Gay Ohio and Miss Gay West. Virginia all gave superb and exciting performances.

Their show raised $150.00 for the Gay Hotline which is being used to purchase a new answering machine and ventilation fans for the Hot

Room at the

་

Community Center. The Hotline. which was using a borrowed answering machine, will now have prerecorded messages about events happening during the current week. This will allow callers to get information outside of Hotline hours which are 7 to 11 P.M. seven days a week.

Special thanks to all the performers and to Henry Henderson and Sam for allowing the Benefit to be held at Another Place
