Next year
the Gay and Lesbian Interests Roundtable will celebrate its 15 year
anniversary.Ê As incoming chair, I originally envisioned a
"quinsenera" (Sweet 15) celebration involving Mariachi's
(since we will be in Houston).Ê A lot has happened since GLIRT first
came into existence and it needs to be celebrated.Ê Since we did not
get it together to submit a proposal for Houston, I suggest that we
still celebrate GLIRT's Sweet 15 years with possibly a reception at a
restaurant and maybe dancing and festivities at a dance place
afterwards-here's the clincher-I need others to assist me with
planning and coordinating this soirŽe, anyone up to it?Ê This
endeavor can include other roundtables, as well.

Clearly the Diversity Committee and its supporters should be
supporting this event.
Maybe GLIRT members can identify tasks that need to happen in
Houston and tasks that can be completed from elswhere to ensure the
success of this event, then the call can go out.
