Activity Update: The Board of Directors has been working hard to take the input from last fall’s “Meet-n-Greets” and translate it into concrete action.  Thus far, the Center leadership has taken steps to update and improve our website to make it the “virtual community center” everyone valued.  The Board approved a working budget model that would allow for responsible financial planning in the first year and has taken steps toward finding limited office space for to act as its “headquarters” where a part-time administrator will assist in the initial work of the Center.  As part of its effort to help organizations strengthen and/or consolidate their efforts, members of the board engaged in discussion with members of the Gay & Lesbian Switchboard of Harrisburg (GLSH).  As GLSH decided to dissolve itself as an organization, they offered to allow the Center to undertake some of the activities for which it was responsible.  Most importantly, the Center undertook to be the primary point for information sharing in the LGBT community.  Efforts are underway to help local LGBT organizations to increase awareness and easily list their activities on the Center Calendar and use the website’s “Resources” tab and a point of contact.   These are only a few of the good thing happening to carry out the Center Coalition’s mission and move toward an active community center that serves the needs of LGBT people throughout Central PA.  If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to e-mail us at info@centralpalgbtcenter.org.
