Meet The Rainbow Times in Williamstown April 23

The Current Issue


Short notice I know, but you may want to take an hour out of your day April 23 to meet the key people behind , The Rainbow Times our regional newspaper for the LGBTQ community. It is one of the best things to happen in years, and it seems to be growing even as other newspapers are shrinking.

AREA BUSINESSES CAN MORE EASILY REACH GLBT CUSTOMERS

If you are a business or on a business track, you might want to attend the informational session with the publishers at 3:30 pm, April 23 at the Hardy House living room at Williams College. The Rainbow Times depends on advertising to support its publication, and it is important for our community to note and patronize the supporters whose ads appear in the newspaper.

LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS CAN GET THE WORD OUT MORE EASILY

This will be followed by a more social reception at the Mezze Bistro and Bar on Water Street in Williamstown at 5 pm on April 23. The current issue has a superlative guide to the NoHo (Northampton) Pride festivities taking place on May 2 in our neighboring community just across the mountain.

Northern Berkshire Gathering set for Tuesday, April 14, 2009 - 6:30-8:00 pm



An open invitation has been extended to all LGBT folks - and their allies and friends - to get together for an ice cream social in Williamstown. In addition to the socializing, there will be discussion about events and happenings in and around Williams College.

The organizers welcome LGBT folks and their allies who not only live in Williamstown but in the surrounding towns as well. And just in case there is a lull in the conversation, there is an official Topic: What is an ally? How can I be one?


Where to meet? Just head for The Log - you will see the rainbow flag, it's on Spring Street between Images and Tunnel City Coffee (on your left).
