Chairperson's Message!

Joan
Greetings. It has shaped up to be an eventful fall season at the Switchboard. Our Treasurer has moved on to explore new avenues in his life. We thank him for his many dedicated years of service and wish him well. Fred Cicerelli, a long time volunteer and former chairperson, has stepped up and accepted the Treasurer role and is doing a wonderful job during the transition.

Our White Elephant Sale was a huge success.. Many thanks to Richie and Mary Post for their generous gesture; and a special thanks to all the volunteers, contributors, and patrons who came to make purchases and give us their support. Thanks to information from volunteer Kristin Orig, all leftover items were donated to Big Brothers and Sisters of Suffolk County. Join us for Champagne and Cookies on Saturday, November 12 at the Long Island LGBT Film Festival. Our Reception begins at 8:15 PM immediately following the movie "Tomboy" and before "The Green."

Our resource page update is coming along and our Marriage Resource Page will be up and running soon. We thank you for your patience.

We are in the process of canceling our PayPal account in light of the recent news reports confirming their connection with Anti Gay fundraising groups. Donations can be made by check for now and mailed to our PO Box 1312 Ronkonkoma NY 11779.

Sincerely with respect and pride,

Joan Bloodgood
Interim Chairperson
Gay & Lesbian Switchboard of L.I.

Gay & Lesbian Switchboard of Long Island,
History and Mission Statement

The Gay & Lesbian Switchboard of Long Island provides peer counseling and information services for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities of Long island and it's surrounding areas. The GLSB was founded in 1991, in an attempt to educate and empower the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities on Long Island. It had grown over the past 16 years, into one of the largest continuously running Gay and Lesbian switchboards in New York State.


The Switchboard volunteers are here to listen regardless of the reason for the call (coming out, dating, in a relationship, starting over or experiencing one of life's many unexpected twists). The GLSBLI is a service that provides the caller with the opportunity just to talk, express feelings and hopefully feel a little better by the time the call is finished.

The Switchboard also provides callers with information and referrals to the professional and business community as well as social groups, organizations, and upcoming community events. We strive to maintain the most up-to-date listing of bars, clubs, social organizations and various other gay friendly references ranging from attorneys to therapists to retailers and restaurants.

Notable distinctions include: voted Outstanding Overall Service Organization by the GLBT community in 1996. Recognized for our efforts every year by the Long Island Ravens, as well as chosen as Grand Marshall group to the Long Island Pride Parade in 1998. Our infomational and peer counseling services have assisted over 25,000 callers since 1991.
