REAL NEWS July 2008
Welcome to REAL News and hello to gorgeous winter.
REAL has been up and running now officially for 6 months and has been welcomed by many lesbians and organisations. It's been an avenue in support for "coming out" and also meeting other lesbians in the Illawarra and around, and of course it's also been a meeting opportunity for those of us who've enjoyed discussion, dinners and the like. It's been trial and error, so I've taken it on and am doing my best to have something for everyone.
Due to fulltime uni commitments in the next six months REAL Talk will only happen once a month and will continue to be @ ACON Community Space.
Inner talk out has been unsuccessful in terms of numbers, so has been cancelled and the choir bombed out! I'm happy to say though Pats writers/book group is a success and REAL talk is alive and well and the dinners are rocking! Lesbian parents have asked for more family stuff and also to be included in dinners so every second dinner will be a family dinner.
International Lesbian Day in October is going to be celebrated big time with a dance being organised jointly with REAL and LISA – Lesbians In the Shoalhaven Area. There's been talk between women about lesbian health so LISA and REAL came up with a Mind, Body, Spirit and Coming out, I'll be able to let you know more soon.
REAL help for lesbians, volunteers have been hard at work providing a few women with help. If you want to put your hand up for any volunteer stuff please do.
REAL donated $200 to Mignon to help her with her up and coming CD that she is cutting as I write. REAL wishes Mignon the warmest best of wishes. Way to go Mignon!
I don't go to all REAL happenings, so it would be best for those who are going to a dinner or a REAL picnic etc to call my number or the number supplied or email me to check if others are going. All dates are subject to change if anything unforeseen happens. If anyone can put your name up for responsibility to call for any future events that would be very welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks for supporting REAL and as I've said previously, it can not happen without you!
In peace and compassion and respect for one another
