SURF WITH GAAMC!
by Dave Torrey


Well, surf America On-Line (AOL) and chat with members of GAAMC's Executive Board. As part of Gay Pride month, GAAMC will sponsor two chat evenings on AOL for three reasons. Firstly, we hope to reach out to potential members of GAAMC who may not be aware of our existence. Secondly, we want to make ourselves available for input from members and non-members alike. Finally, we wish to appear as if we are operating in the gay 1990's, not the gay 1890's.

With this in mind, the details follow. From 9pm until 10pm Eastern time, on 11 June 1996 and 26 June 1996, a private chat room, "GAAMC," will be created. To join us, go to "lobby", AOL's chat area. From here you will be able to view the different chat rooms by pressing the "list rooms" picture button. Then, select the "private room" button, enter "GAAMC" as the room name, and press the "go" button. These instructions are for an IBM compatible; a Macintosh will require similar steps. We will follow GAAMC's safe space statement during the chats. Moderators(members of the Executive Board) will aid people unfamiliar with a chat room and deal with any "bashers" who decide to join us. To be easily identifiable, Board members will be identified with EB in front of their name, initials, or position (e.g., I will be logged in as EBDaveT, EBdht, orEBProgram).

No specific topics will be set for these two chats. We will try to dissuade people from using this as a "cruising ground" (but, we will happily direct them to better chat rooms to do so). If all goes well, we will look into holding GAAMC chats on a more regular basis. Any questions, comments, or suggestions can be addressed to me at NJTramp@aol.com. We hope to see you there.
