life with LINC.

Training

Lesbian Line training has been re-scheduled. It now will begin on April 6th from 7

until 9pm. The training commitment is over five weeks and is beneficial both in terms

of specific helpline training and is also transferable into every-day life. Helps us all

become better listeners. For more information about this ring Martina 086 3466264.Or LINC office.



Bisexual Drop In.

This will be facilitated for the next couple of weeks by Beth who is just sooooo cool!

In the past we have been asked to provide a drop in/group specifically for Bi women

so please make an appearance on Friday night from 7.30 and say hello. It’s not a

“group” more an informal gathering!

Phoenix Youth

There is no youth group this Wednesday 16th March because of the horse riding

weekend coming up. Also the girls have been really busy in the past few weeks they

need to take a breath. Please let people in the wider community know that the youth

group are as pro-active as they are always looking for new members. Again if you or

someone you know wants to come along to Phoenix and feel a bit shy, just ring Tina

in LINC and she can meet with you first or put you directly in touch with Gillian the

youth worker.

We are so lucky to have such an up and coming vibrant group of girls around so get

the word out……………There’s lots of plans ahead including a rap programme so

watch this space!

Camera Club

Kate came along last Thursday and was a bit lonely. Come on all you budding

photographers! Again women asked and we have responded so if any-one is

interested but missed last week give us a call in LINC and we will pass your details

on as interested. The club will meet once a month.

Older Women’s Group

The facilitation of this group finished last week. We would like to thank Catherine for all her work with the group. Feedback has been very positive and we have heard

through the grapevine there is a change of name. So again watch this space cos I

just can’t believe the name I heard! The ------------------------------------ will be meeting

monthly on Thursday between 6pm and 8pm. The first date will be confirmed shortly.

Occupational First Aid

As there weren’t sufficient numbers to participate in the Occupational First Aid

Training, we will now open it up to the LGBT community in Cork and family and

friends. We need to know numbers ahead of time so please contact Tina to put your name down.



Mna Mna

No Choir this week as its Patricks Day. Back to normal time next Thursday and

again new members are always welcome at choir.

Bolt Magazine

www.boltmagazine.ie

We have current copies of this magazine in LINC for women to take. They were

kindly handed in from a Community member who is involved in the distribution of the

mag. Interesting reading in this and plus a 2 page feature on LINC so get your copy

here. You might also like to go on line to read the mag or if you want to subscribe

then the folks who publish BoLT would be delighted.

Solidarity Books

Paul over in the book shop passed in some copies of Lesbian and Gay Visions of

Ireland Towards the Twenty First Century. We have some copies for you to take so

Thanks to Solidarity Books it’s most generous. First Come First Served.

LINC NOTICE BOARDS

We have two main notice boards one in the main reception and one out in the

kitchen. We thought it might be a good idea if Community members took control of

the kitchen notice board. It might be a good place to advertise personal notices. For

instance perhaps you have something for sale or want to but something specific.

Perhaps you are looking for accommodation or have a property to rent. The

Possibilities are endless. There are two reasons behind this initiative. One is that

adds are kept in the same place and secondly and probably most important is that it

encourages you to have a cuppa or make us a cuppa. Obviously we will have to

have limitations about what ads go up there and this will be at staff discretion.

Afternoon Tea Any-one!

President Mary McAleese invited 10 LGBT representatives to join her in the St.

Patricks Day celebrations in Aras an Uachtarain on Thursday afternoon. Susan

(Chairperson) and Anne (Steering Group member) will attend on behalf of LINC.

From the Presidents Garden to CAMP

Irish Women’s camp will be held in County Cork this year. If you know of anyonewith10acres of land with access to water who would be interested in renting for the

month of July, please contact us.

TAKE CARE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND…………………….
