We're new to boating on the Rehoboth and Indian River Bays and are looking for other fun active, gay, lesbian, gay-friendly folks with boats on the Rehoboth Bay, Lewes-Rehoboth Canal and Indian River Bay areas to join up for waterskiing, rafting up, tubing, hanging out and having fun. We created a yahoo group to share the best spots and connecting. 
Contact us at http://groups. yahoo.com/group/RehobothBayGayBoaters/.

Looking forward to seeing you OUT at sea!

HIV/AIDS has been around for 25 years now. And while we have made tremendous advances in the treatment of AIDS, some things haven't changed. The rate of AIDS in Delaware is still twice the national average. Young people continue to get infected with the virus. People still die from complications of AIDS. We strive to provide service to more and more people, often with less and less money to do it.

That's why I walk in AIDS WALK DELAWARE. On September 24th in Wilmington (and again on October 8th in Georgetown) I will walk with lots of other people who care about this issue. I want to make a difference in the lives of people living with HIV disease. And I want YOU to help me. If you would like to walk with me, let me know! I will help you register, get you the materials that you need, and be your cheerleader. 

More importantly, I'm asking you to make a donation. Ten dollars, twenty-five dollars, fifty dollars, whatever you can! Each dollar will help make a difference. Please make your check out to AIDS WALK DELAWARE and send it to my attention in care of CAMP Rehoboth, 37 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.

Thanks in advance for your support, your best wishes…and for your donation!

The Delaware state senate has again scorned democracy by not allowing sexual orientation nondiscrimination bill H.B. 36 to be voted on. While the Dixiecrats in the senate leadership are primarily responsible, it is also true that senate Democrats maintain Sen. Adams (and therefore Sens. Vaughn and Venables) in their caucus leadership.

However, while we who are gay deeply appreciate the sponsors' motivation and effort and dutifully lobbied for it as something better than nothing, some of us believed H.B. 36 was begrudging, insulting and maintained a second-class status for gays in some of its provisions designed to placate the far right.

If it must fail due to senate Dixiecrats let us at least have a nondiscrimination bill that educates and does not codify a second-class status. While we have been dithering here in Delaware the world has moved on, and eighteen states and D.C. have such a law. Of them, eight protect transgender as well as gay persons.Shamefully, Delaware has no law at all that specifically protects or even mentions transgenders.

I respectfully urge our legislators to craft a truly egalitarian, transgender-inclusive bill that will not already be outdated, incomplete and regressive when it eventually becomes law.

This will be the final Royalty Disbursement from MBNA for the Rehoboth Beach Credit Card program, as they have chosen to discontinue the program since their merger with Bank of America. In total, the Rehoboth Beach Card program raised more than $7,600 for CAMP Rehoboth since its creation in 2001.

We have enjoyed supporting CAMP Rehoboth and we hope the card contributed positively to CAMP’s programs in Rehoboth. Thank you for your endorsement of the Rehoboth Card program and we wish CAMP Rehoboth continued success in the future.
