PAGE 8 Q-Notes ■ August 1986 Tags To Host Volleyball Tourney Get out your shorts and brave the heat! Tags is sponsoring a vol leyball touinament to sup port the Metrolina AIDS Pro ject on the first two Saturdays of August and will contribute a share of cover charges to MAP. There is no charge to enter the competition. Come play. Come pull for your favorite team! Come gander at all the skin!! What ever, your attendance will help MAP. To sign up to play, call Tags, 333-2353, or MAP, 333-AIDS. Sounds like a great way to beat the heat over a cold beer! See you there! By the way, MAP says that — through last month's train ing program — it has trained 25 new volunteers. They'll as sist with the Hotline, the buddy program, the safe sex programs and, MAP hopes, a MAP newsletter. Congratula tions to MAP for the generos ity of the volunteers that are making the project such a success! And thank you. Tags! SUN MON TUE WED THUR FRI SAT The Tradesmen, our local levi-leather group, has been busy, too, planning the first club night at the Brass Rail. It's Aug. 29 and Bill Purcell, club president, invites every one to come on out. Call the Rail, 399-8413, for more de tails. Bill promises you will be thor oughly entertained. The group plans to invite other levi-leather groups to join in the festivities. The Tradesmen's new "First Lady" (Nancy who?) may even entertain the troops, I hear. The Tradesmen elected officers for the club in July. They include president Purcell, vice president Butch Stevenson, secre tary/treasurer Chuck Goodwin and sergeant-at-arms Joe Mitchem. ■ ■■ Anyone who is interested is in vited to attend the Charlotte leader ship council meeting at the Hickory House Wednesday, Aug. 20, 7 p.m, Robert Sheets, QCQ president, in vites leaders of all Charlotte organi zations and owners of gay-identified businesses to come and discuss helping each other, meeting one another, and sharing ideas. Sheets said leadership council meetings help organizations coordinate activ ities and work well with lounges, resulting in benefits all around and avoiding schedule conflicts. Call 563-0333 (ask for Jim) to RSVP. Oh, yes, don't forget to turn out at Scorpio for the roast of Boom Boom Latour (see story, front page). Sounds like an appropriate opportu nity to tip a cold one to the Queen Diva! Are you ready for this? She only thinks she is! ■ ■ ■ Are you ready for this? Accep tance, a social group, has been meeting for nearly nine years (talk about staying power!) and contin ues to thrive, but Ed needs a break! If you appreciate the group's good work and enlightening meetings, let them know. And please give Ac ceptance a hand finding speakers and topics of interest so meetings can continue the level of excellence maintained so far. If you want to know why there is no list of pro grams for August — this is it, kids. Acceptance needs your help. What else can we say?

The joint effort of QCQ and New Life MCC pastor Art Fleschner, the chorus will have its premier perfor mance during the Christmas holi days. Rehearsals at New Life MCC in the Labor Building at 2121 Common wealth Ave. upstairs have tenta tively been scheduled for Wednes day evenings at 7:30 with the first to be decided in early August, "It's a community activity and not religious," Fleschner said. "All gay and lesbian people are invited. "For the Christmas concert, we're considering Holst's Fantasy of Christ mas Carols and his version of Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent, Handel's For Unto Us a Child Is Born and Halleluia Chorus from Messiah. Vi valdi's Gloria or Respighi's Laud to the Nativity, Leontovich-Wilhousky's Carol of the Bells, Harry Simeone's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and other popular Yule pieces." To preserve the community aspect of the chorus, auditions will not be overly discriminating, Fleschner said. He'll check ability to sing in tune, tonal memory and range. Ability to read music is a plus but not a requirement. Fleschner, who has a degree in music education from Graceland College in Lamoni, Iowa, will direct the chorus. He performed post grad uate study as the teaching assistant of the vocal department at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, 111. The chorus needs an accompanist who can read and play vocal parts from a four-staff score. ■ ■ ■ To participate, call Fleschner at 373-1817. Metrolina AIDS Project (MAP).
