To the wonderful members of the Houston GLBT Community!



I know many of you received e-mails from Marc Cohen yesterday noting his
appreciation for the campaign, and I wanted to start my Monday morning by doing
the same. (It takes a little longer to recover from being in drag for 20 hours
solid on Saturday!)



This has been a very active, exciting and fun campaign month for me and although
at times it was very stressful and long - thanks to so many of you it has been
such a rewarding experience. Yes, there are way too many of you to list
individually - but everyone who helped out in any way possible, please know that
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I could not have done this without you.
Yes, this is my second time around, but of course
this if MUCH different than the first!



Closing the polls at 301 votes (more than doubling last year's
election!).shows that Korwin, Marc and myself played a role in getting the
community out.but it also shows that the hard work ICOH - The Space City Empire
is doing within our community is paying off! Raising and distributing the tens
of thousands of dollars that we do for so many charities is always our focus -
and we will always succeed no matter who or what the obstacle may be!



Once again - thank you all for coming out.and whether you voted yes or no for me
- I still thank you for getting involved in the process. As most of you know - I
will always be there no matter what the outcome of next Saturday may be - but I
encourage all of you to come and find out at P&P Ball III in honor of Crown
Prince Royale Scott Kenyon and Crown Princes Royale Marcia Mink at Rich's,
Saturday, August 20 (5 pm - 9pm). It plans to be a fabulous event with Casino
Tables, Show and of course the announcement of the new Apollo Emperor-Elect and
Gemini Empress-Elect.



Once again.thank you all,

In Service to the Crown and Community,
