Youth’s board members attended. I left feeling
excited and curious to obtain more information.”
As long as a non-profit group (or individual)
understands the following points, opening an
account with G&L Bank could be a profitable
way to raise funds and handle financial trans
actions. First and foremost, individuals and
non-profit members need to feel comfortable
with the concept of Internet banking. A non
profit organization and individual customer
must have a computer, one of three recom
mended Internet browsers, an Internet Service
Provider, and a modem or DSL/cable connec
tion. For practical reasons, the customer’s em
ployer should be able to directly deposit pay-
checks into the customer’s account.
Prospective customers need to understand
the terms of their potential G&L Bank account
and decide if they can bank within the limits
imposed. For example, if you write 50 checks
and realize that you were only allowed to write
25 checks free-of-charge, an over-limit per
check' fee is assessed against your account. If
you open an account with $300 (the minimum
amount), the fee is 50 cents for each check pro
cessed beyond the allowance of 25. In this case,
the 25 over-limit checks result in fees that equal
$12.50.
Costs begin to add up if you go over the
limit in other areas, such as ATM usage. Ifyour
account allows you to utilize the ATM four

“In appointing Evertz to this critical posi
tion, George W. Bush...has shown respect for
the 20 years of leadership that the gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender community has dem
onstrated in fighting HIV and AIDS,” said the
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force’s
(NGLTF) Executive Director Elizabeth Toledo.
“President Bush may think the Log Cabin
Republicans delivered him the election,” con
servative activist Richard Lessner, president of
American Renewal, told the Washington Post.
“If that is the case, he is sorely deluded.”
“Evertz’s whole approach is homosexuality
times each month free-of-charge, and you use
the ATM 12 times, at $1.50 a pop you owe an
extra $12. Add to that a deposit you need to
make immediately that can not be directly de
posited and you have further charges. It costs
only 34 cents to mail a deposit, but the wait
time before accessing those funds includes travel
time via the post office and a possible wait pe
riod at G&L Bank after receipt. If you choose
to “wire transfer” a deposit for quicker access,
that charge is $7.00; overnight courier costs ap
proximately $12.25.
The lesson here? Ghoose an account that
suits your needs best. This may mean opening
an account with a larger sum of money and
agreeing to pay a monthly fee.
There are a number of checking account
options from which to choose. Also available
are savings accounts. Individual Retirement
Accounts (IRAs), Certificates of Deposits, car
loans and home equity refinancing.
What are the positive trade-offs? With care
ful usage, an account with G&L Bank can yield
fundraising potential, support individuals and
groups within the GLBT community, offer the
convenience of Internet banking, and cteate
positive relationships with customer service rep
resentatives who understand your needs. G&L
Bank has a track record that includes support
ing over 40 GLBT events and groups last year.

is a viable life alternative...that it’s part of God’s
design in humanity,” said Rev. Lou Sheldon,
chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition,
in the Post. “Bible-believing Christians don’t be
lieve that for one second.”
Winnie Stachelberg of the Human Rights
Campaign (HRC) responded, “During the
Ashcroft hearings, Sheldon said that to oppose
a person based on religious beliefs is ‘insulting
and dangerous to religious freedom.’ ”
Questioned at a press conference about
Bush’s choice of a gay man in a committed, mo
nogamous relationship. White House Spokes
man Ari Fleischer responded, “The President
hires people because they’re well-qualified to
do the job, and that’s what he’s done.” ▼
