We have received many inquiries regarding starting a chapter of the DOB in the East. Some of us are planning a trip to New York next September in conneotion with the Mattachine Society convention and will be able to meet with anyone interested in forming a New York DOB chapter. It will be appreciated if anyone interested will drop us a line so that we can get the groundwork started between now and September.
