                  THE BISEXUAL NETWORK OF NEW JERSEY!

Hey all!  We're growing and moving.  We have recently added more
meetings (a women's meeting as well as a men's meeting) and we're
moving to a new location.  Hope to see you soon!

---------------------------------------------------------------

                         WHAT'S NEW?

NEW LOCATION:  Starting with the Oct 15 Women's Discussion Group, all
discussion groups will be meeting at The First Unitarian Church of
Plainfield on Park Ave., near 7th Street.  This is where the Central
Jersey Alliance meets on Tuesday nights.  Directions are at the end of
this letter.

NEW MEETINGS:  The schedule now includes the Women's Discussion Group
as well as the Men's Discussion Group and the Mixed Discussion Group.
See the calendar below for details.

SOCIALS:  We are now going to try to coordinate a social event on any
Thursday without a discussion meeting.  We will try to vary the
location so as to reach as many people as possible.

MEMBERSHIP:  The new location is not free, so we will be asking for a
donation of $3 at the door ($4 for non-members).  How do you become a
member?  Well, that's new too.  To grow we can not run out of pocket
anymore.  Starting in October we are asking people to pay $25 a year to
be a member of BNNJ.  Membership dues will help pay for these mailings,
and hopefully will enable BNNJ to develop a full newsletter.

DATE CHANGES:  Due to the fall and winter holidays, the men's meetings
will change dates for November and December.  See calendar for
details.

---------------------------------------------------------------

                         SOCIALS!

The two October socials are both dinners.  We tried to find places that
were reasonably priced, easy to get to, and have a relaxed atmosphere.

OCT 8 SOCIAL:  Time: 7:30pm.  Location: Santa Fe Yacht Club, Hoboken,
NJ.  This restaurant is across the street from the Hoboken PATH
station.  To get to the PATH by car, take the New Jersey Turnpike
(extension) to Exit 14c (the Holland Tunnel).  After the toll booth
drive to the first LEFT (this will be the first traffic light).  You
are turning onto Jersey Ave.  Go under the train bridge and bear
right.  At the end of this street is the PATH station.  Park and walk
towards the path.  The restaurant is across the street, on the LEFT as
you near the newsstand.  Reservations will be made under the name
"ARNOLD".

OCT 29 SOCIAL:  Time: 7pm.  Location: Scotchwood Diner, Scotch Plains.
On Route 22E (east of Plainfield) past Sears by a couple miles.  Wear a
costume or go naked.  Reservations will be made under the name
"ARNOLD".
