BUFFALO, NY, November 7, 2003 - - On Monday, November 10, the Gay and
Lesbian Coalition Western New York will hold anHouse for its new

Pride Center from the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley in Rochester
where he served as Community Relations Director.
“This is a wonderful opportunity,” said Ver Steeg, “Western New York’s
LGBT community needs and deserves a focused and unified presence in
order to provide representation, communication and support on issues
important to us as a population.”
