Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were not able to produce a newsletter this month.

The March social will be at Joe L's apartment in Lorton, VA on Saturday, March 27th beginning at 7pm. We moved the social to the fourth Saturday of the month so our members can go to East Coast Conference in Houston, Texas the weekend of March 19th-21st. Joe will be serving snacks and sodas. Come on out and join us for the first social of Spring.

The social will be free to members and first time guests and $9 for returning guests.

For directions to the social at Joe L's home call Joe W. at 703-971-5868, before 9pm Eastern time, or email the club at: G&M of Washington, DC

Youth Pride Day

The G&M Club of Washington, D.C. will have a booth at Youth Pride Day on Saturday, April 24, 2004. Youth Pride will be at the corner of P Street, NW and 23rd Street, NW and we will be handing out brochures to get the word out about G&M. Want to help staff the booth? Email the club at: G&M of Washington, DC and tell us what time you want to work. The booth will be open from noon until 5:30pm and we need people who will work for one or two hours. It really is a lot of fun!
