Reception for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Mathematicians and their friends.

There will be a reception for lesbians, gays, and bisexuals (and their
friends) attending the 1995 joint mathematics meetings of the American
Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America in San
Francisco.  The reception will take place on Friday, January 6, 1995, from
5:00 to 7:00 pm, at The Iron Horse, 19 Maiden Lane, near Union Square, a
short walk from the conference headquarters hotel.  This will be a "no host"
reception.

A volunteer committee has organized the reception in the wake of the
decision by the AMS and MAA governing bodies to relocate the 1995 meetings
from Denver after the antigay Amendment 2 was adopted in Colorado in 1992.
The organizers share the belief that this is an appropriate time for gay,
lesbian, and bisexual mathematicians to establish a visible presence within
the profession.

The steering committee which has organized the reception consists of Robert
Bryant (Duke University), Don Goldberg (Occidental College), Concha Gomez
(University of California Berkeley), Steven Hillion (University of
California Berkeley), Jim Humphreys (University of Massachusetts at
Amherst), Nadine Kowalsky (Institute for Advanced Study), Janet Ray (Seattle
Central Community College), and Sandra Rhoades (Smith College).
