Hi, Carrie – the Hillsborough County Public Library is applying for a grant from NPR’s StoryCorps, to record oral histories of Tampa’s African-American community. It’s part of a national Griot project, StoryCorps is working on.
http://storycorps.org/initiatives/griot/
I was wondering if the GaYBOR District Coalition had some African-American members whose stories need to be preserved? If so, the Library is asking local groups to write letters of support for the project, to help them get the grant. WMNF is going to write a letter, to let StoryCorps know that we’d help get the word out, do interviews and PSAs, and broadcast a selection of the stories.
If GaYBOR would be interested in participating in the oral history project, I’d be glad to pass on the contact information for the letter. The deadline is January 16.
Thanks for all your good work.

Metro “Moves” on Plans to Create LGBT Welcome Center
For Immediate Release:
(St. Petersburg, FL) December 31, 2012 – As the community is ringing in the New Year, Metro Wellness and Community Centers, an organization of Metropolitan Charities 501(c)3, today announced some exciting plans for 2013. The organization, which will be celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year, is partnering with the Grand Central District Association (GCDA) of St. Petersburg to open a mixed-use space next to its current Metro Thrift & Gift retail center located at 2235 Central Avenue in St. Petersburg.
The space is currently a vacant lot, but not for long. Part of this exciting venture will be to move a historic bungalow-style house currently located just a block away at 2335 Central Avenue. Through a donation by GSC of St. Pete, LLC, the house was granted to Metro . “By moving the house, not only are we able to build on our partnership within the Grand Central District and the local community, but we’re able to save this beautiful historic bungalow which exemplifies so much of this district and neighboring Historic Kenwood,” says Lorraine Langlois, CEO of Metro Wellness & Community Centers.
“It’s always exciting when something we’ve been talking about for several years in the community comes to fruition,” said Brian Longstreth, Broker of Your Neighborhood Realty (YNR) and a Board Member of the GCDA. “Everything seemed to fall into place. A historic home about to be torn down, the desire for Grand Central to have a 1st floor office on Central Avenue, the need for a LGBT welcome center in the area. The fact that it all happens in a saved 1920’s bungalow makes it even more special, and it only happened with the cooperation of many partners.” Longstreth, along with his brother Jim, an agent at YNR have helped facilitate this project with Metro and the GCDA.
This idea has been in the back of Langlois’ mind for years as well. Langlois who helped start Metropolitan Charities 20 years ago has always seen the need for a bigger presence on Central Avenue and the importance of a vibrant welcoming space for LGBT visitors to the Tampa Bay area as the community here continues to grow. “We are so excited to partner with our friends in the Grand Central District to make this happen,” said Langlois. “The space will serve as a welcoming hub for visitors and residents alike – providing resources for the LGBT and allied communities and expand on our mission to enhance the quality of life for those in our area.”
Metro hopes to have the house moved and in place by mid to late February, with plans to open the Welcome Center in the Grand Central District to the public as early as March. The building will serve as a visitor’s welcome center, community resource center and will provide office space for the Grand Central District as well as additional programming and event space. “There’s so much potential in this gorgeous bungalow,” says Langlois. “I can’t wait to see it grow into the vibrancy that already exists along Central Avenue.”
The Welcome Center will be one of only two in the state that focuses on LGBT visitors, offering a one-stop-shop to learn about LGBT and allied businesses, accommodations, where to shop, where to dine and more. In 2010, an LGBT Visitors Center opened in Miami Beach. Much like this South Florida location, which was sponsored by MetLife – Metro’s Welcome Center in the Grand Central District will also have sponsorship and naming opportunities available for rooms along with the house itself
Metro Wellness and Community Centers currently has offices and LGBT Community Centers in St. Petersburg (3251 3rd Avenue North), Ybor City and New Port Richey in addition to its Thrift & Gift retail location on Central Avenue, which supports those living with HIV/AIDS in the area and the many programs and services the organization offers. The organization has been providing premier HIV services, social networking and other health and wellness programs for years to the four county area of Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando. With active community center locations throughout the Tampa Bay area, the organization fosters diversity within the community as a whole, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or economic status.
For more information contact Lorraine Langlois, CEO of Metro Wellness & Community Centers at 727-321-3854.

Susan Donovane was recently involved in a tragic accident.
She was run over by her own car while checking an engine noise. The car apparently slipped into gear while she was standing in front of it.
Susan is suffering from a crushed pelvis, bleeding lungs, a broken collar bone, crushed and broken ribs just to name a few injuries. They tried to do surgery on her pelvis yesterday but had to stop because her lung collapsed and blood pressure was dangerously low. They put a feeding tube in and she is in a medically induced coma to help her pain and labored breathing.
She is at very high risk of blood clots because of heavy smoking and taking hormones. Please say a prayer for her. If she gets through the roughest part, it’s going to be a very long road to recovery. The doctors are talking 10 weeks in the hospital and then rehab. She was self employed as a MHP handy person and has no medical insurance.
Please send your kind thoughts and prayers.
From: TransGender-TampaBay
Over the last few years, I have had the pleasure of working with “Susan” and Debi, in various Trans Gender organizations. They have always done their best to be an asset to the community, both with sharing their knowledge with other “girls” and helping various TG groups.
In their time of need, TGTB has set up the “Susan Donovane Fund”, please consider donating through the PayPal link below, or sending a check or money order to the address listed below.
Thank you for any help you may be able to give.

Your help is need to bring “The Rock and The Ripe” to Tampa Bay
Dear GaYBOR Friends and Family – At the last meeting, Kathy and I announced that we are producing The Rock and the Ripe – an amazing play, book and movement created to give others insight into the relentless anti-gay bullying that children are enduring daily from students, teachers and their community. We are bringing the play to Tampa along the playwright and (4) of original cast to perform the piece for two weeks in Ybor at the Back box Theatre at HCC-Ybor.
In the words of the Playwright, The Rock and Ripe. is a play… based on the true stories of a lost generation of gay suicides, this project honors and gives voice to the ones who are not here to tell us their accounts. Created by director/playwright/activist, Mark Blane, this play is a combination of several years of research, interviews, and case studies spanning across the United States. The material is most directly influenced by the recent suicides of openly gay teens Phillip Parker (death on 1/20/12) and Rafael Morelos (death on 1/29/12), as well as the personal stories and experiences of Mark Blane, a survivor of anti-gay bullying and harassment.
The dates of the performance is February 22 – March 3, 2013. The theatre has kindly donated the space, however we anticipate expenses of about 14K. we are hoping that you will get behind the fundraising and perhaps agree to host a fundraising event at your businesses. I truly believe that this is a play that needs to be done here. Will you help us?
We truly need community support to help us fund this worthwhile project. Among are needs are:
Money through fundraising
Housing for visiting actors
Feeding the visiting actors while they are in Tampa
Airfare for the playwright in December and then for him and the four visiting artists in February.
Thank you taking the time to talk with me at your shop over the weekend.
As promised here is information on Saving The Historic YMCA!
I hope you can help find me the right Angel or Founder.
Want to align with good people vs make any deals with the Devil.
TJN
IMPORTANT NOTES
On October 2, 2012 I signed a binding purchase contract for The Historic YMCA Building
Monthly Deposits due starting November 15 and a (first) closing date set for June/17/2013.
If we succeed in our mission…
The Historic YMCA will actively stand as a light in the community for many generations to come.
A “cash cow” and a community builder with over 200,000 people through it’s doors each year with:
Concerts & Special Events, Art & Fashion Shows, Comedy & Sporting Events and Themed Public & Private Party’s.
If we fail in our mission…
The Historic YMCA will be sold to a Bank and Demolished for a new structure!!!
Permits to demo the property have already been submitted to the City.
——————————————————————————————————
My simple offer, request and open invitation to a great opportunity is such:
Assist our initial fundraising efforts as either an Angel Investor @ $52k-$178kor as the Founder Investor @ $360k
Angel amount assists us locking down the property for either 3 months – 1 year and a small operations budget.
The Founder Amount allows the same but additional operations budget for building an office inside The Historic YMCA, having a daily sales staff on site and covering architectural designs and all marketing needs.
We are confident $360k is all we will need to borrow for the entire project.
The rest of the funds raised coming from revenue streams that do not require payback.
Ie. Local/State/Federal Grants, Corporate Sponsorships, Advance Lease Agreements, Donors/Donations, VIP Memberships, Branding Rights & Advertising Agreements, Merchandise/Licensing etc.
Our business prospectus, team bio’s, investment summary, purchasing contract and other information related to this venture are attached next as well as a copy of my publication GoToGo! Event Guide that will detail all marketing and promotional outreaches we have already in place to assist our new venue being established from Day One!
I am open to any/all thoughts you have on how we can collectively work together – whether that is being a highlighted figure on our team if you desire to be more in the limelight – or a silent partner that can also assist our progress past the initial purchase and build out phases.
All I ask is that if you want to proceed we act soon.
This Sunday will be the final day I am looking to show the property – Open House is set for 2-4pm.
And next Tuesday is the last day for deposits into my attorneys escrow account from interested investors.
I am looking for a couple of gay sales people and thought that you might be able to help with a recommendation. We have a travel club here in Ybor City. World Club Vacations, which is on your list.
A horrible thing happened last night in my home area in Myrtle Beach,SC, a legendary gay bar called TIME OUT burned down last night,I dont know if you guys ever heard of the place but its been there I think over 25 years and its a very sad time my people back home. Theres only 2 or 3 gay bars there left. Best drag shows I ever seen were at Time Out. The other bars there are going to do benefit raisings to help out. It would be nice if the gaYBOR district 460 miles away could send some love to the Myrtle Beach gay community. The neighbor bar is called Rainbow House and look up Micky Stricland on my friends list and tell her DJ Stonecold(me) told you guys the tragic event. Prayers for the community there,its like a death in the family,it would be great if you guys sent some love for yall are the gaYBOR power down here.
