Goodstein is familiar to most
people through his popular and controversial
hi-weekly ADVOCATE column
called ~Opening Space.~ He is also
the founder and one of the facilitators
of the Experience Weekend (previously
called The Advocate Experience),
a two-day learning and
self-discovery workshop with over
7500 graduates.
His accomplishments as a leader
in the gay movement have reflected
his firm belief in the U S. system
of government. Goodst&in was responsible
for creating the Gay Rights
National Lobby in 1976.
Super-Living: You Can Have the
Life You Want (Prentice Hall) is
Goodstein’s new book which tells how
to create abundance in
;relationships, money, health, and
happiness.
According te OHR president Brian
Mumey, Goodstein will arrive in
Tulsa on February 13, speak to OHR
that evening, and hold a press conference
the next day before returning
to Los Angeles. "This is a meeting
that Tulsa gays shouldn’t miss.
The board hopes to have a very good
turnout for Goodstein. We’re encouraging
everyone to attend and bring
some friends with them," said Mumey.

"l’m worried about getting AIDS.
Do you have any information on it?"
"What do I do about my lover who may
be an alcoholic?" "I may be transferred
to Tulsa. What’s gay life
llke there?"
These are just a few of the questions
OHR Information Line volunteers
handled during one week in
January.
The Info Line records an average
of 4500 calls monthly, with trained
volunteers handllng over" 250 of
these calls personally. The question
most often asked relates to location
and atmosphere of local bars. However,
many callers ask for details
about OHR, while others need counsellng
or counseling referrals. Of
course, there are the usual number
of harrassment calls.
"I feel good after I’ve answered
a question, listened to someone with
a problem, or made someone feel less
lonely," said one volunteer. If you
want more information about the Info
Line or you would like to consider
joining the thirty other volunteers,

New Executive Board Sets
1984 Goals
"OHR has made a real difference
in my llfe. I hate to think what
life in Tulsa would be like for gay
people without OHR."
In a way, this statement by one
relatively new Tulsan and OHR member
says it all. OHR makes a real
difference in Tulsa. For many lesblans
and gay men, the OHR newsletter
is their only informational
link to the gay community. For
others, the OHR Helpllne makes the
difference between loneliness/despair
and contact with someone who
car.es,
The 1984 OHR Executive Board has
dedicated itself to making this a
terrific year for OHR, for the entire
Tulsa gay community. Symbolic
of this effort is our first major
speaker of the year, David Goodstein,
publisher Of the ADVOCATE,
the nation’s leadlng gay newsmagazine.
We hope this will see standard
for the programs and projects we
undertake this year.
Look for continuing improvements
in the newsletter, the new outreach
efforts both to the gay and the
straight communities, for increased
membership, for programs both educational
and fun, ranging from our
Women’s Task Force to a terrific
special guest at the Mr. Tulsa contest.
This Executive ~oard will strive
to be creative, enthusiastic, and
energetic, yet realistic,
goal-oriented, and organized. Our
success will depend largely on
you--your ideas, your support, your
participation, your constructive
criticism, and when deserved, your
praise.
Where do we start?
JOIN ...if you are not an OHR
member, send in your check now. If
you are a member, share OHR with a
friend.
THINK ...what you can do to help
OHR reach more people and to improve
the programs. Let us know your
thoughts.
WORK ... in the many events we
have this year. Help with the garage
sale, volunteer for the Helpllne,
start a support group.
CARE ... ~bout yourself and also
about the needs, feelings, frustrations,
and ambitions of others. Help
OHR meet those needs.
You can help OHR make a
difference. It’s going to be a great
year. Be a part of it!
