GLBT History Museum incorporates
The GLBT History Museum of Central Florida is now a legally constituted organization. Now, the board will apply for 501(c)3 status, which would allow the museum to expand its funding and operations. The museum started in 2005 as a joint project of Metropolitan Business Association and the University of Central Florida's Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Union. It is mainly supported with funds raised by Orlando's Come Out With Pride celebrations. For the past few years, contributions from the Darden Corporation have covered the cost of â┚¬Å”big tentâ┚¬Â history exhibits at Pride celebrations.
Prime Timers elect new leaders
The Prime Timers of Central Florida have a new president. The group's board of directors voted Jim Moore into the resident's position. It also elected Patrick Caraher to be vice president, Ron Bush to be secretary, George Sepso as membership chairman, Edwin Barnes as events chairman and Claude Aube to the position of publicity chairman. Outgoing president Jerry Danese will fill a vacancy created by a board member's resignation and will step up as treasurer next year. The elections were held at the Prime Timer's general meeting, May 10 at Parliament House.
