Join
Out For Good at Vermont Public Radio's fall pledge drive (Oct. 18-27).
We'll be in their Colchester studio to answer phones and take pledge information
from VPR supporters during the following hours:
Thursday, October 19, 4pm - 7pm
Saturday, October 21, 7:45am-noon
and noon - 5pm
It's great fun and great visibility
for our community. You'll spend a few hours with fun people doing good
work and getting fed well, too!
Everyone is welcome to participate,
but we need to hear from you in advance so we can tell the VPR staff how
many people we're bringing. Please send an email to Out for Good at outforgood@glfundvt.org
to register. Be sure to include email and mailing address information
and a daytime telephone number.
Out for Good is a program of the Gay
& Lesbian Fund of Vermont (www.glfundvt.org) that coordinates the
valuable time that LGBTQIA Vermonters donate to the causes they support.
Just as the Fund works to make our
monetary contributions count twice, so Out for Good does with our volunteer
time and efforts. By donating our time together, we show that members
of our community care about many of the same causes as our neighbors.
Further, it makes others aware of
how much work we do to foster improvements in all our lives. We can all
have fun together while making the world at large aware of the positive
difference we make. When the time we give is organized through Out for
Good, specific attention is drawn to the value of LGBTQIA people in our
society.
