A note from the editor:
Dear Supporters,
We have had some exciting developments in the past month, I am anxious to share with you. As I may have mentioned previously, I have been appointed to serve as Vice-President of Metro East Pride for the 2010 term. As an officer of the organization, I will be participating in the planning process for the Belleville Pride 2010 event. It will also include numberous appearances throughout our region as a representative of the LBGTIQ communities of Southern Illinois.
Keep updated on this topic at :

I am sorry to report, I have not managed to get back in touch with the LGBT center of St. Louis, as they have expressed interest in a Daniel McCree Exhibit. As of today, we have not made arrangements for this. We hope to move forward on this project in the next week or so.
On August 30th, MCCGSL celebrated it's Sanctuary Dedication, and will be hosting a grand opening celebration on September 26, 2009 at 5pm. Entertainment by MCCGSL Choir, Band Together, CHARIS, Fruit Jam, Symetry, and of course-- The Gateway Mens Chorus. This Celebration will also include recognition of members past and present, including Daniel McCree.
We strongly encourage and invite each of you to join us for this special event.

For those of you who have not visited the new building at 1919 S. Broadway, you may be surprised just how much of Daniel's spirit resides in this place.
