    ..... as a board member of the local chapter of PFLAG
    (Parents, Family/Friends of Lesbians and Gays)

    i have been working with the board since june,
    and tonight i was asked if i wanted to become
    an official member of the board of directors
    and i said hell yes!.... advocacy will be my "arena"

    i am pretty excited about it, because it is a chapter in
    a very established, very influential national advocacy group.....
    they were one of the Group of 3** that were instrumental in
    getting the Matthew Shepherd Hate Crimes Law Act signed...
    (**PFLAG, NOW and Transgender Civil Rights Project)

    any way... i am really excited about the possibilities
    and opportunities that lie ahead.... lots of policy being
    crafted for equal rights/protection so lots of places to
    maybe find a niche.....

    hahahaha.... good one fokyc!!

    the requirements will seem familiar:
    work hard
    work for free
    try to sell an idea that is not especially popular or well received...

    thanks peeps, for the kind words!
