From: communications@pflag.org Date: Fri, 15 Aug 1997 17:26:16 -0500 Subject: PFLAG's National Conference Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) To: PFLAG Members and Friends of PFLAG Date: August 15, 1997 PLAN TO ATTEND PFLAG's 16TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE TODAY! Air fare wars have broken out. And the Southern Baptists are pushing again to get their Disney boycott moving. Now is the time to register for PFLAG's 16th Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida. With the Southern Baptists' recent announcement that they will try to bolster their boycott of Disney Corporation, PFLAG's Conference is a must-attend event for all PFLAG members. The Southern Baptists hope to cause Disney to lose $100 million from the boycott. That makes standing up as a PFLAG member and showing Disney your support more important than ever. Join us in Orlando at our 16th Annual Conference as we show Disney that we approve of the respect and support they have shown to the gay, lesbian and bisexual community. Held September 11 - 14, PFLAG's Conference includes more than 50 workshops along with a special evening of film screenings, a Friday night Block Party, and a youth talk show hosted by sexuality educator Marilyn Volker. Bid 'til you drop at PFLAG's first-ever silent auction which includes a variety of items ranging from books and gift certificates to trip packages to the Canary Islands and Washington, DC. President Clinton and U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno have been invited to the Conference, as have Billie Jean King and Elton John, who will be in Orlando the same week. Last year, Cher "stopped by" unexpectedly -- don't miss out on any surprise guests that may join us this year. PFLAG's Conference is an incredible deal, with registration prices holding steady as the number of events have increased from previous years. The deal just got better now that most major airlines are in the midst of an "air fare war," resulting in drastically-reduced airline tickets. Take advantage of low air fares, show Disney you support their gay-friendly policies, and join in the fun and excitement of Conference today. The fastest way to register is through the PFLAG home page at www.pflag.org, or call PFLAG directly at (202) 638-4200. See you in Orlando!
