Y-S Unity in the News!
 
On 02/19/07, a news story about the name change of our group to Yuba-Sutter Unity was featured in a big news story in the community section of local newspaper The Appeal-Democrat.
 
The news story is available online for a limited time.  You may still be able to view the story at http://www.appeal-democrat.com/articles/2007/02/19/news/local_news/news4.txt     
  
The news story did an excellent job of conveying the vision of YSU as an inclusive group with big ambitions for unity and fellowship in the community.  All YSU Board members were quoted too!  And the story featured a photo from YSU Board members Jeffrey Girard and Tyson Redhouse.  We are thankful to the local paper for their inclusiveness as well as the reporter and photographer for their thoughtful work. 
 
Also, on 02/22/07, a letter to the editor by a Santa Ana woman about YSU was published in The Appeal-Democrat.  The woman thanked the paper for their inclusiveness, because of their coverage of the YSU name change.

Amicus Book Includes YSU in Donation Program
You Can Help YSU By Participating!
 
Amicus Books of Downtown Marysville has generously decided to include YSU in their list of organizations to contribute to through their donation program. 
 
How it works is simple: when you donate a book to Amicus, you can ask them to donate a portion of the money made from the re-sale of the book to YSU. 
 
 
What Kind Of Books Are Best To Donate?
 
Amicus specializes in non-fiction.  Suggestions: biography, science, literature, history (especially local), home & garden, health, . . .etc.
 
How Do You Make A Donation?
 
Amicus Books is located at 413 "D" Street, Marysville, CA 9590.  They are open from 10:00am to 7:00pm on most days.  See http://www.amicusbooks.com/ for precise hours.  They can be reached at (530) 237-6402 by phone.
 
If dropping off your books would be inconvenient for you, we can certainly arrange a time & date for your donation to be picked up.  Or you can drop them off at a YSU event.  Thanks Amicus!
 
Amicus also carries a section of Gay/LGBTI books.  Check them out!
 

 
Lesbian Lifestyle Magazine 
 
Available in Yuba City
 
Thanks to the efforts of YSU Board Member-at-Large Shannen Rose, Sound Attitude music store has agreed to carry Jane and Jane magazine.  We are grateful to them for making the magazine accessible to the Y-S community and we also thank Jane and Jane for distributing in this area.
 
Sound Attitude is located at
287 Carriage Square, Yuba City, CA 95991.
 
 
Launched in June 2006, Jane and Jane is the first Home & Family Magazine for Lesbian Lifestyles. Their mission is to offer a publication that features quality editorial content on a variety of topics such as home living, parenting, relationships, future planning, women's health, travel, fine wine, and culinary creations – either written from a lesbian perspective or tailored to the lesbian lifestyle.      www.janeandjane.net
 
 

 
 
 Would You Like to Be a Long-Term 
 Financial Backer of YSU?
 
If you are able to support YSU as a long-term financial backer, to assist with group expenses on a routine basis, please contact us.  Until we achieve nonprofit status, donations will not be tax-deductible.  However, as we move forward keeping up the work we do and advancing towards non-profit status, we would appreciate any financial support you could offer.
 
For those who are able, helping YSU on a routine, long-term basis will tremendously help us plan for upcoming expenses.  In some cases, reimbursements may be available. 
  
If you are interested, please call YSU Directors Jeff Girard @ (530) 329-3501 or Sally Downie at (530) 671-0630 for details. 
 
Help us keep reaching for that rainbow above the Buttes.

 LGBTI NEWS & VIEWS
 
LOCAL & REGIONAL NEWS
 
Gay Friendly Liberal Talk Radio in Sacramento No Longer
 
Sacramento's gay-friendly, liberal talk station AM 1320 KTCT, a former Air America affiliate, appears to have transformed to a sports talk radio station.  We are saddened to learn of this news considering there are now no mainstream alternatives to the saturation of conservative talk radio in the region.  Hopefully liberal talk radio will return to the region someday soon.
We were only able to find out anything about this news in a Google news search which included one petition site for keeping Air America at 1320 and Sacramento Bee news stories.
 
Here are a few results
