CALL FOR DESIGNING LOGO FOR DYKE MARCH
March 2nd, 2010 | 
Author: DEADLINE: MARCH 20, 2010
Mission
The mission of the San Francisco Dyke March is to bring the dyke community together to be visible in a celebration of our diverse communities and to raise awareness of issues affecting all of us, strengthening an international perspective in our community. The Dyke March organizing committee advocates civil and social justice for dykes around the world.
The annual rally and march takes place on the Saturday of Pride weekend. The rally/cultural event showcases our communities’ artists, critical thinkers and political activists on this day when thousands of dykes take our space, proclaiming rights and demanding respect.
History of the Dyke March
In 1992, a group of San Francisco lesbians organized the first Dyke March during the national LGBT march in Washington, D.C. The following year, the same group organized the Dyke March in San Francisco, where approximately 10,000 women attended. The Dyke March now attracts 50,000 participants from around the world. For more information visit our website www.thedykemarch.org.

The San Francisco Dyke March is seeking a logo we can use year after year. The logo will appear on all Dyke March information, on our web site, and on t-shirts. (We will be seeking a t-shirt design specific to this year’s theme – tba – a bit later.)
The logo must have the words: San Francisco Dyke March

Play the Dyke March Stage
The Dyke March rally takes place from 3 – 7 pm, leading up to the March from the Mission to the Castro. We showcase dance, spoken word, and musical performances and are committed to a stage as diverse as our audience. The rally will showcase 6-8 acts. Please be advised, we do not accept male performers for the Dyke March stage.
Selected artist will be paid a performance stipend.
Individual Artist - $300
Groups/Bands (four or more individuals) - $600
(Please let us know if you are willing to participate/perform at a Dyke March fundraiser, any time between April and the end of June, pro bono. This does not guarantee a place on the rally stage though it is very valuable in making the Dyke March a reality and does get your information onto the Dyke March web site.)
Selected artists announced at the April 17th Fundraiser @ El Rio in SF.

Valentine’s Day 2010
Love is in the air, everywhere I look around…
This is the best Valentine’s Day I have had since we were all kids giving Valentine’s cards to everyone in our class. Being in love and being loved are such amazingly powerful forces to put out into the universe. To embrace these powerful forces into your life without suspicion is freeing. I am so very lucky to be loved by a beautiful human being, who loves all of me.
I have never, in my life, met anyone who was able to handle the complexities that make up my own humanity until now. To have someone in my life who is growing into their own self-actualized being in parallel with me doing the same is an unbelievably blessed experience. Today and every day I celebrate the love that I have found and that has found me.
We are all lovers and beloveds deserving the love that is right for us. Whether we are coupled or single, dating or married, love is for all of us. From the love we give others, to the love we give ourselves, we must live our lives inside love. And from within love we each blossom.
We are ending our romantic getaway at the Monterey Bay Aquarium today, something I have been wanting to do since I moved here. Wherever you are, whomever your with, friends, family or flying solo I wish you have very Happy Valentine’s Day!
This Weekend in the YaY! Area 2/9/10-2/14/10

FEMME2010 in Oakland
Dear Community Members,
Finances are tight for all of us these days, particularly for community-supported events requiring travel and lodging, like the Femme Conference. After a great deal of effort and research, we have determined that it is not financially possible for us to hold the 2010 Femme Conference in Atlanta as we had hoped to do. We are incredibly hopeful for our future as an organization, but we believe that Atlanta would be cost prohibitive to both the members of the Steering Committee and to the larger Femme Conference constituency. We realize this is a disappointment for many of us.
However, we have decided that rather than skip a year, we have the resources to hold the Femme Conference in Oakland in 2010. We are tremendously excited at the prospects of holding a conference in the city we had originally chosen for the very first Femme Conference (we ended up in San Francisco as a result of financial considerations, so this feels like a full-circle in some ways)!
We appreciate your understanding and your continued support. All details about hotel, dates and calls for submission will be announced at the beginning of February. We are excited and we hope you are too!
Femme Collective
