Educational pamphlet: Ideas and questions discussed for possible inclusion in the pamphlet were: 1) gearing the pamphlet to everyone while focussing somewhat more on the middle-aged group (parents of young Gays), 2) speaking to anxieties concerning child molestation, rape, recruitment, breakdown of the family, 3) destroyin stereotypes, and 4) discussing who benefits from the continuing persecution or potential liberation of Gay people. A rough draft of the pamphlet will be prepared for the next meeting.
After hearing the committee reports there was a general feeling of progress and accomplishment which we hope to sustain until our next meeting at Kent, 12:00 Noon: Sunday, August 7.
The meeting adjourned at 5:00 Pi.

FLASH It has been learned that all the booth space in this year's State Fair has already been teken; thus OGRC will not have an official booth at the Fair. The potential costs of doing this in 1978 were investigated; the least expensive booth space is $350 and is located in the Buckeye Building. The alternative strategy of providing sympathetic groups (e.g., NOH) with our materials, and of leafletting on and off the Fairgrounds, will be used this year. Volunteers will be neede to maximize our visibility through leafletting and petitioning; contact your local OGRC contact person for additional information.
