We are honored
to offer an AEN special event, the October 5, 8 p.m.
performance of the new musical The Color Purple at
the Alliance Theatre. Tickets are now available to everyone, including
those who are not members of AEN.
Through us,
you can get great orchestra seats at $38.95 each. If purchased
directly from the box office, they would be $43.30.
Not only will you see the show during its world-premiere run before
it heads to Broadway, but you'll enjoy the unique company of AEN’s
LGBT members and friends! It's a brand new, soul-stirring version
of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel!
This beautiful
musical adaptation by Marsha Norman (the Pulitzer Prize-winning
playwright of 'night, Mother), Brenda Russell, Allee Willis
and Stephen Bray is Atlanta’s cannot-be-missed theatre event!
Please join us for an exceptional evening!

 From
the Executive Director's desk
I am continually
asked how can my company become more involved with AEN? How can
AEN assist us with marketing to the LGBT community? How can my
company show our support, commitment and financial assistance
to AEN?
I always answer
with: Become an AEN Partner! I also advise that AEN can provide
an excellent marketing opportunity to help reach the LGBT community
while also demonstrating, in a tangible manner, your commitment
to diversity and equality.
AEN offers
our Partners several different levels of benefits, services and
a proven record of tangible results.
I also invite
you to review our Partnership program with our many levels of
benefits and services on
the AEN Web site.
I would welcome
the opportunity to discuss in person our AEN Partnership program
with you and your company. Please feel free to contact me via
e-mail at glenpaul@aen.org
or via phone 404.724.9008 (office) or cellular 404.307.9631.

We
need good volunteers like YOU
As a non-profit,
volunteer organization, AEN's success has been the result of efforts
of devoted volunteers.
AEN has several
standing committees:
- Program
(plans monthly events);
- Membership
(stimulates membership growth);
- Communications
(marketing, public relations and newsletter);
- Diversity
(promotes understanding throughout our community);
- Partnerships
(identifies and solicits financial support);
- Community
Outreach (works to develop community relationships).
If you would
like to volunteer for a specific committee or just be added to our
standing volunteer list to be notified when volunteers are needed
for special occasions please go
to our Web site to sign up or contact Glen Paul Freedman at
404.724.9008.
