               "Creating & Maintaining GLUs"

                            
                   WHO IS THE COURSE FOR
	
The extension course "Creating & Maintaining GLUs has been 
created for a variety of people.  The main level of approach
is from scratch.  It is from the ground up for the type of
person that may not have all the skill yet is eager and 
willing to learn.

The bottom line approach to GLU/Seattle operation is operating
GLU as a business even though GLU/Seattle is a registered non 
profit in the State of Washington. Most of the skill used and 
needed to operate a small business are the same that are needed 
to make your project as a successful operation.

GLU/Seattle is operated by one person. It took a great of time
to set GLU/Seattle up. But this extension course should help 
your attempt in starting a GLU by cutting that time way down.

The number of hours that are required fir normal GLU 
maintenance are not many.  I would say that under 7 hours a 
week and a GLU would be just fine.

Types of people that would best be suited to GLU operations 
would be those that are creative,responsible, honest, hardworking 
etc etc. Some experience in self employment - business 
operations and or activism are not required but are desirable 
qualities.   

People that are not overly busy and are looking for an 
interesting way to contribute to their LGBTetc communities will
find GLU type of operations very interesting and rewarding to
say the least.

If a person has to or chooses to work on a GLU project alone 
that is fine.  If a person wants to work with a larger group
that is fine.  

If you or your group chooses to subscribe to the ongoing extension 
course approach, GLU/Seattle ask that each group be represented 
by one person that takes this extension course.  For instance a 
organization might like to take on the project of GLU.  But 
GLU/Seattle would prefer to deal with only one representative, 
student, at a time.

In some cases there might be others from your same area that are 
in contact with GLU/Seattle regarding the creation of a GLU in 
your area. In this case both parties can subscribe to the 
course. But it is strongly suggested that all parties located 
nearby work together in some way to avoid duplication etc.

It is ultimately up to yourself. You are your own master and
slave.  All your decisions are your own.
