Well, that is what Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights (TOHR) will be hosting Friday, June 9, 2006 at the Gilcrease Museum. Imagine sipping champagne with Tallulah Bankhead, dining with Horatio Alger, having a cocktail with Josephine Baker, chatting with Frances Faye - they will all be there, in costume, of course. This evening will in part serve to recognize State Senator Bernest Cain for his lifelong commitment to protecting the human rights of all people of Oklahoma. Senator Cain will be receiving TOHR’s Lifetime Achievement Award, a special honor for those who have provided ongoing leadership and support in the gay, lesbian, bisexual & transgender community. Lynn Jones, retired Major with Tulsa Police force, as this year’s event Chair and Nancy and Dr. Joseph McDonald as Honorary Chairs, we would love to have you at this grand event. It is only appropriate that the words to John Lennon’s song “Imagine” will be a gift to each guest. Twenty-five years ago a small group of caring people started an organization seeking equality for gays and lesbians. Thanks to you and other generous people, Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights has grown into one of the largest and oldest GLBT organizations in Oklahoma. The year 2006 will find us in a permanent TOHR-owned 18,000 square-foot Community Center at 4th & Kenosha in Tulsa’s East Village, within walking distance to downtown and the Brady Arts District – all vibrant urban spaces. TOHR will provide even more services for our community in the new GLBT Center. TOHR Director Greg Gatewood, Oklahoma’s only full-time GLBT advocate, with the help of an ever-increasing number of volunteers, supervises 20 programs, a Help/Info Line that fields nearly 3,000 calls annually and the Tulsa GLBT Community Center. The Center is on track to welcome over 10,000 individuals this year. The David Bohnett CyberCenter, with 10 on-line computers, provides Internet access and computer training to hundreds of people each month. The expanded Center will allow for larger events and additional programs to serve not only the GLBT & allied community, but the entire Tulsa community. The expanded Center will include leased retail space, creating the potential for a GLBT neighborhood - something our community has been seeking for years. Please consider a Corporate Level Sponsorship to support the ongoing efforts of Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights. Enclosed are a reply card and an outline of the Corporate Sponsorship Levels.
