Martin and Lyon are the founders of Daugh­
ters of Bilitis, the first national lesbian organiza­

being young and queer.

given to individuals who have made outstand­
ing contributions to the lesbian, gay and bisexu­
al community. Nominees are drawn from around
the state, and the winners are kept secret until
the night of the dinner.

embers of the sexual minorities communi­
ty recently got a chance to share their
thoughts about what they’d like the Portland
Police Bureau of the future to look like.
During the Oct. 13 gathering of the Sexual
Minorities Roundtable, a monthly meeting of
sexual minorities and bureau personnel, partici­
pants were asked to envision the bureau 20 years
from now. They pondered what they currently
like about the bureau, as well as ways it could be
more responsive to the community, and how
that could conceivably happen.
Folks in part called for a more diverse police
force— one that is more reflective of society’s
demographics— as well as an effective civilian
review board, and greater outreach and commu­
nication between the bureau and the communi­
ty
The Portland Police Bureau has employed
the Institute for Law and Justice to assist in
developing a "20-year community policing
design for the next century." The sexual minori­
ties community is one of several constituencies
being used as focus groups for this project.
Sexual Minorities Roundtable meetings are
held at noon on the second Tuesday of each
month, usually in the chiefs office conference
room at the Portland Police Bureau, located at
1111 S.W. Second Ave. in downtown Portland.
Sexual minorities of all kinds are encouraged to
attend.

he Russell Street Dental Clinic recently
received nearly $50,000 that was made
available by the HIV Services Planning Coun­
cil, a group mandated by federal law to identify
HIV service needs, decide funding priorities,
and conduct long-range planning for the deliv­
ery of health care and social services.
The funds will be used to help the
clinic continue providing a full range
of dental care through February to
uninsured people living with HIV in
the Portland metropolitan area.
“Most people with HIV are cov­
ered by insurance,” says Dr. David
Rosenstein, clinic director. “A lot of
people fall through the cracks though,
and some insurance doesn’t cover den­
tal care.”
Russell Street Dental Clinic has
been a major provider of dental care to
people living with HIV since 1981.
For additional information, call the
clinic at 494-6822.

U
nited Way of the Columbia-Willamette
needs volunteers to help recommend
funding for member agencies during the coming
year. In a committee setting, volunteers review
agency requests and recommend funding based
on dollars collected during United Way’s fall
campaign.
Volunteers serve on allocation committees
that involve a 12-hour time commitment per
month from January through May 1999.
Volunteers are welcome to serve on the com­
mittee of their choice. Committees recommend
dollar amounts for programs based on communi­
ty needs such as providing child care; linking
survivors of domestic violence and children in
trouble with shelter and counseling; and helping
disabled individuals and the elderly maintain
healthy, independent lives.
United Way is the largest health and human
service fund-raising organization in Oregon and
Southwest Washington, providing funding to
155 programs in Multnomah, Clackamas and
Washington counties in Oregon, and Clark
County in Washington.
Those interested in volunteering for an allo­
cation committee should call Rochelle
Henniger at 226-9357.
