For Cincinnati's Center to be devoting such a large portion of their resources to the parade and festival did seem a bit like putting the cart before the horse.<br /><br />In the end, though, it doesn't really matter what organization absorbs the administrative duties (i.e. insurance policies, organizational structure, mailing addresses, legal permits), the really important qualification is that whoever Pride is "handed off" to has a vision for growing, improving and keeping Pride relevent in the 21st century.Jere Keyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031694741909693786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233207434448612511.post-77195977152815711092009-07-05T14:28:48.991-04:002009-07-05T14:28:48.991-04:00Kudos for all their hard work these past few years...Kudos for all their hard work these past few years. Time for the Center to focus on the Center though - pride drains half a year of energy from the place. There needs to be a self-standing Pride organization -- just for Pride, and only about Pride -- it will suffocate any other organization that intends to have another mission in life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
