ANNOUNCEMENTS, TRAINING & PUBLICATIONS: 

To our readers, 

I am sad to inform you that in spite of unfailingly positive evaluations including 

glowing personal testimony, and our largest list-serve ever, the CBO Funding 

Calendar will end with the June issue unless we are able to raise an additional 

$15,000 before July. We haven’t missed an issue since we began in the summer 

of 1992. Thanks to the many organizations which have supported us with 

funding since 2003 when our NYC Ryan White funding ended! We wanted to 

warn you before we just disappeared, and would appreciate any funding you can 

direct our way before July that could grant our Calendar a reprieve! 

Sincerely, 

Randi Baker, Founder &Editor rbaker@batf.net

1938 when Jewish Holocaust refugees arriving in Sosua, a small Dominican town, formed a 

special kinship with Sosua’s established residents and community. RSVP to Karen Lander by
