Dear Sisters in OLOC: December 2009
One of my best memories of 2009 is the OLOC Regional Gathering in Columbia, SC this past summer. It was great to be with women my own age who share my aches and pains but also my spirit and understanding of what the journey has been for all of us as Lesbians growing up in an age and environment that ignored us at best, and continue to treat us as “lesser than” through the corporate and governmental policies that impact our everyday lives. We will survive, but it’s good to know that we have an organization that advocates for the changes we deserve.
The days shorten. There are no leaves on the trees outside my window. It must be winter. Since time moves at warp speed, we’ll soon ring in the New Year of 2010. Remember the hoopla about the 21st Century? Well, it is now a decade later. We’ve survived.
Your contribution to OLOC makes a huge difference. I hope you can put OLOC on your gift list before the end of this year. All contributions are tax-deductible.
Make plans to attend a meeting in your area if there is one and the National Gathering in Cleveland July 14-18, 2010. I sure hope to see you there!
In sisterhood,
Sheila Morris, 1946, Columbia, SC
