Here is information on how to get a subscription to the Lesbian Connection. It is the free worldwide forum of news, ideas, and information for, by, and about lesbians.  They have  been publishing since 1974, and they mail issues out every other month in plain brown envelopes (the word “lesbian” doesn’t appear anywhere on the outside). It is truly written by our readers.You’ll find info for lesbians on places to live and where to travel, lesbian B&Bs and guesthouses, lesbian websites, cruises, festivals, conferences, lesbian land and retirement communities, products (books, CDs, DVDs, etc.), campgrounds and retreats, lesbian lawyers and realtors, “Dykes to Watch Out For,” etc.  If you’re a lesbian and you’d like to start getting LC, all you need to do is email us (elsiepub@aol.com) your full name and complete (snail mail) mailing address and we’ll be happy to add you to our list. We’d also like to know where you heard about us. (So tell them that Lynne & Helen's Lavender Newsletter sent you!) By the way, while LC does survive on donations from our readers (we’re a tax-deductible 501(c)3 nonprofit), subscriptions really are free to all lesbians.  Our goal is quite simply to connect the lesbian community worldwide.
