Services still available include individual peer counseling and support, information and referral, domestic abuse advocacy and a trans support group that starts in May. The project also will continue to sponsor Sexual Minority Leadership Roundtable meet ings each month and oversee workings of the Rainbow Links resource hot line for southwest Washington residents. The mission and goals have not changed, executive director Llyn Zephyr says, but a different tack is needed in the quest to provide services. She is looking for people to co-facilitate an all-ages coming-out support group and a 21- to 30-year-old social support group and to help develop a mentoring program. Also needed is assistance in planning and initiating a volun teer drive. The roundtable meets on the second Thurs day of every month at 309 W. 12th Ave. Every one is welcome.
