omen's Night XIII Honoring Indigo Girls & Linda Villarosa Recording Artists Executive Editor, Essence Magazine MEMO Masher Chair Ful Gwendolyn Baba Honorary Chair Tammara Billik To: My friends, colleagues & other important people From: Karen Ocamb Staff Liaison Re: LACE Awards, / March 2 Julie Anderson Hi. I hope all is well with you. Committee As you can see from the accompanying material, I am Jacqueline Arkord being honored by the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Sheila Becker Community Services Center with their Lesbians and bisexual women Active in Community Empowerment Jacqueline Black (LACE) award for "outstanding contributions in the Stephanie Blackwood area of grassroots activism. " This year the nominations came from the community at large so, as LuAnn Boylan a street reporter who just shows up to do the work, Kelly Cannon I'm particularly moved. Carleen Cappelletti Caroline Dann The Gay & Lesbian Center Women's Night producers have asked me to provide them with a list of Amy Dantzler friends, family, colleagues, and/or others I want Stephanie Farrington-Domingue notified about the award. Of course the subtext is to get congratulatory ads for the Women's Night Pamela Genevrino journal. Since I've worked very hard over the past Helmi Hisserich eight years to avoid even an appearance of conflict Jan Holden of interest - I had some trouble with this part. But then I realized that this is an opportunity for Mallory Kates a number of people and organizations to reach a Arlene Krantz largely untapped lesbian/bi community. They are Julie Leverence expecting as many as 1000 women (if not more) to attend the event. Kelly Lynch Elissa Lynn Since I learned journalism at CBS News (in those Rev. Jenenne R. Macklin days the Broadcast Center was called "the house that Edward R. Murrow built"), I have always felt that it Ella Matthes would be an ethical violation for me to use the Gay Lynn McCracken & Lesbian Center facilities as long as I am a Helen Mendoza community reporter. But before I "officially" came out as co-host of the "Out & About: Lesbian and Gay Pamela Privett West Hollywood" cable show and subsequently returned Amy Shomer to reportage, I went to the Center on Highland Ave. Lorri L. Jean Robin Tyler for 12 Step and other meetings.
