areas. United we can perhaps do something, splintered into fragments we are right back where we started from.
The administration of the FOUNDATION FOR PERSONALITY EXPRESS- ION is not intended to rest solely in my hands. A board of Professional Advisors from the outside and a Board of Directors on the inside have been part of the plan from its inception, but they had to await the proper stage of development. You can't very well have a Board of Advisors until you have an organization to advise. We now have an organization composed of those who have joined FPE and those who have joined the Foundation. Now the problems of what to do and how shall we do it arise. Efforts will be underway shortly to try to find answers to both. Leadership is not THE problem, defining goals and deciding on what steps to take are. Let's all put our shoulders to the wheel and see if we can't get it turning our way.
To proceed with any plans at all requires finances. Present fin- ances have come from FPE memberships. Some don't want to join in the social aspect of expression. If you are one of these, fine, but this doesn't prevent you from helping by making a donation to the Foundation ($10 like FPE members- or more). This money will all be accounted for--remember the Foundation is set up as a corporation. It is unrelated financially to Chevalier Publications and must stand on its own. There are a lot of cities in which the number of subscribers to TVia indicates a possibility of a social group, but this cannot be organized until these readers join FPE and make a chapter feasible.
So if YOU feel that TRANSVESTIA has been of help as well as en- tertainment to you, pay the debt by helping those programs designed to help others like yourself to find themselves. Don't be a free loader make a contribution of self and/or money--join FPE if you are inter- ested in social expression with your own kind, or help the Foundation with a monetary gift if you are not, but lend a hand somewhere.
