  OFFICE MEMO          Oregon G&L Community Center            Date:3/10/93
Two months ago a project to create a home for the gay 
and lesbian community of Oregon was conceived.  We did
not begin the process with preconceptions about the 
nature, location, size or functions of the facility. 
We did, however, sense a need in the community 
for a point of focus and an environment to nurture 
communication in our community through its numerous
 and valuable organizations.  
We started by surveying over seventy organizations
 in the Portland metropolitan area.  So far, thirty have
 responded with an interest in participating in this project,
 representing a total membership of over 3,000 people.  
The groups who responded made up a very encouraging 
cross-section of the gay and lesbian community. We feel 
that there is enough interest to justify proceeding with 
creating the task force and developing a project plan.
Feel free to contact us if you would like to offer help or 
if you have any questions regarding this project.  Our 
phone number is 503/295-9732, where you can leave 
messages or get confirmation for meeting times and 
locations. Our regular meetings will begin March 17th 
at 6:00 PM at the UO Portland Center, 722 SW 2nd Ave., 
Portland.  
The use of this room is graciously sponsored by the 
University of Oregon Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual Alliance.
