H.U.G. ACTIVITY NIGHT

This month COMMUNITY looks at the Cleveland Gay Community Center. Purchased last summer by the GEAR FOUNDATION the Center is located at 2641 West 14th. The purchase of the building allowed for the space to be available for a wide range of activities.

Besides being "home" for the Foundation and its committees, the center houses the Gay Hotline, The Together Coffeehouse on the first and third Saturdays, The Friday Nite rap group, two women's raps a month on the second and fourth Thursdays and ...there's still more. Since the Center is open for use by other groups it also is the meeting place for a Transsexual rap on the first and third Thursdays and is also used by the Buckeye Rainbow Society for the Deaf for their meetings and activities.

Since the move to the new Center in November, clean-up and fix-up work continues as an ongoing process. If you'd like to help call the Foundation at 621-6546 and leave your name for John or Earl. The Center and its work are wholly supported through contributions to the Foundation from the Community. Be a part and let your dollars count.

But above all the Center exists for you. Stop down-drop in for a rap or for the Coffeehouse and see how GEAR and the Cleveland Community are growing.
