Bi Women (the newsletter of the Boston Bisexual
Women's Network) is the longest-lived bisexual newsletter in the US. It
has been published since 1983 and is sent to women and organizations all over
the world! But putting out a successful nonprofit newsletter doesn't
happen without volunteers. So every quarter, a group of friendly and
welcoming Bi women get together to socialize while folding, stuffing, and
stamping. Join us for the next mailing, and you may even make some new
friends along the way! Monday, June 2nd, 7:00pm at the Cambridge Women's
Center. Contact Lisa at lisa.silveria@gmail.com with your
questions and to let us know you'll be joining us.
