COMMUNITY

This month COMMUNITY looks at the Cleveland Gay Community Center. Purchased last summer by the GEAR FOUNDATION the Center is located at 2641 West 14th. The purchase of the building allowed for the space to be available for a wide range of activities.

Besides being "home" for the Foundation and its committees, the center houses the Gay Hotline, The Together Coffeehouse on the first and third Saturdays, The Friday Nite rap group. two women's raps a month on the second and fourth Thursdays and ...there's still more. Since the Center is open for use by other groups it also is the meeting place for a Transsexual rap on the first and third Thursdays and is also used by the Buckeye Rainbow Society for the Deaf for their meetings and activities.
