minutes, and included in the newslater).
The Media Update was presented by Tibby T., Newsletter editor and

month…with an insert of the missing pages from last months
letter…hehehe. The webmaster is attempting to create the “interactive
agenda” on the website. More on this later.
Final notification is being sent to all members who have not paid their
2007 dues. Some members have contacted us with their desire to not

participation and brotherhood within our Club.

Thanks to Wayne C. for donation of the lovely frames.
“Legalization of the Club” was discussed. We currently bank under a

home on Spain Street (same location as the past two years.) Please
bring a side dish of your choice. Since we are inviting all the other gay
clubs in New Orleans, we are asking donations of $10 for non-
