A Letterman's Bear Show
| |
Dear Readers,
I wanted to send this letter to every subscriber to our magazine, both past and present, and thank you for your support these past two years. As I know you get bombarded with daily emails and spam, I thought it was important to contact all of you and up-date you on what is going on with the magazine and the importance of your subscription to A Bear's Life
As I write this, I am in Los Angeles to interview the director/producer Kevin Smith for the cover of the holiday issue. Kevin plans to take the magazine and introduce the bear culture to David Letterman on The David Letterman Show on September 25th. I hope you will all be watching for history to be made. This will be the first time that the Bear Community hits prime time on public television.
I am asking those of you who are on our mailing lists and those of you who are not current subscribers or who purchase our magazine in book stores to subscribe on line. The numbers of subscribers we have in our system are vital to the corporate support of the magazine which in turn gives us the ability to support the clubs throughout the country. I can't stress enough that the purpose of A Bear's Life is to provide a vehicle to pass important information to the bear community and get financial support from Corporate America so we in turn can give that money back to our community. We have given over $17,000 back to the clubs in the United States this year and without a force of subscribers, we will never reach that goal of providing all the bear clubs with financial support. We are not an adult entertainment magazine, A Bear's Life was created for the Global Bear Community and we need the your support.
For those of you that are already subscribers, I thank you for your support and encouraging emails and ask you to urge your friends within the subscribe to the magazine to support us and the community.
Thank you again for taking the time to read this letter and look forward to meeting you at upcoming bear events.
Respectfully and in brotherhood,

Right Wing bible thumbing lunatics are at it again...
E-mails, and phone calls are pouring in about what this "Hate Convention" , and how our community will react back to it. This HATE convention that is coming to Bell Shoals Baptist Church. Located at 2120 Bell Shoals Rd, Brandon, Fl. is sponsored by http://www.communityissuescouncil.com/
September 20-22, 2007. Included in the speakers are Mike Ensley & Scott Davis of Exodus International, former Congresswoman Katherine Harris and Rhonda Storms, Just to name a few. The Summit Topics include: "Homosexual Agenda", "Homosexuality and Youth", "Community Decency", and "Homosexuality and Ministry." Workshops from John Stemberger, Florida Family Policy Council – On the "FL Marriage Amendment and how to do a petition drive in your community or church and Voter registration laws and regulations" by Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Buddy Johnson. To find out more go to:
Hillsborough County GLBTA Democratic Caucus
The " Family Impact Summit" scheduled to take place in Brandon, September 20th through 22nd, will be one of the largest, if not the largest, far right anti-gay such conferences to ever be held.
Pride Tampa Bay, Equality Florida, The Hillsborough County GLBTA Democratic Caucus, Securing Our Children's Rights, along with other local, state, national progressive and religious/faith based organizations are putting together a response.
The consensus is to hold a Press Conference at the event location on Thursday, September 20th, followed by a Witness, a rally conveying a somber, non-violent tone of the gathering. Participants are required to attend a non-violent training session prior to the Witness/Rally. The purpose for this is to avoid any confrontations and counterproductive outbursts.
It is crucial that we have "large community participation" in these activities. We are requesting your assistance in issuing a 'Save This Date" request to every group or organization you may be apart of and person you know.
More information on this action will follow as plans are finalized. It is our hope to have at least 100+ people participating at the Press Conference and the Witness, to express united community support of this action.
If you have any questions, comments or thoughts, please feel free to share them
 With Pride and Peace -

Just a short note to say I really enjoy your weekly updates.
Getting to see some familiar faces from the resort in your pics is an added plus.
I've been working a zillion hours at my daytime job, but overtime is waning as we exit the busy summer months.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in GayBor, maybe even this weekend!
