Bloomington Beacon, Inc., a non-profit organization working to establish and run a south central Indiana community center for GLBTQ people, has released its first annual ‘Report to the Community.’
The report summarizes the mission, history, structure and community need for the center as well as Bloomington Beacon’s accomplishments over the past year and goals for the immediate future. In commenting on the need for such a facility (currently called the Bloomington Beacon Center), the report notes that the nearest such place to Bloomington is Indianapolis’s Diversity, which operates only a Web site, not a physical facility. The next closest are in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Fort Wayne, Ind. Also disclosed is that 91 of nearly 100 local survey respondents agreed that a GLBTQ community center is needed very much.
