The 2005 edition of the Rainbow Guide is almost ready to go to print. 
If you or your favorite Rainbow website desire to be listed in this
year's version, please surf to our website located at
<http://rainbowguide.info/Entry/form.php>;  The deadline for new
heartsongs is April 20th, but please don't wait 'til the last minute.

And if you haven't gotten your 2004 Rainbow Guide yet, please feel free
to contact us at <http://rainbowguide.info/contact/index.php>; .  We
have a pile, prepped with the necessary postage and ready to send.

Printing a version similar to last year's, a bit longer as we have even
more heartsongs and a greater number of Lightlinks, will cost us around
$2700. including shipping.  We presently have $2423. in our bank
account, (a pleasant leap since the last time we wrote folks just a
couple of weeks ago -- thanks everyone!!) but still leaving US $277
short (with only 4 weeks until we begin layout).

Funding the Rainbow Guide is a continuous, ongoing process.  I am sure
we can all sympathize with putting together a project that costs
thousands of dollars for a group that never charges for anything. 
Please Family, make supporting the Guide a priority, as we desire to
create a publication of which we can be proud.  Find a PayPal link or
information on mailing us your donation at
<http://rainbowguide.info/donations.php>;.  Donations are greatly
appreciated as print and mailing costs are substantial.

And we certainly know which part of our site friends visit the most, so
just today we added yet another 50 new pictures from this past year's
California National Gathering, kindly scanned and sent to us by our
friends Mary & Fonty. Our Photo Gallery
<http://rainbowguide.info/Pictures/PICeng.php?id=4>; is now over 400
photos and growing!

We are also interested in knowing your favorite website(s)!!  In fact,
we hope to build a collection of links to sites pertinent to our Family.
 Now we believe we already have the most complete collection of "Rainbow
tribute" links on the net (over 300 so far).  See them at
<http://rainbowguide.info/LightLinks/LLeng.php?id=1>; to find Family
worldwide.

We encourage everyone to share their favorite link(s) or, even better,
an entire list on a specific consciousness raising theme.  We see Family
frequently recommending sites on many of these message forums and
request you simultaneously add these same links to the Rainbow Guide
<http://rainbowguide.info/LinkMaint/LMentry.php?lid=-1>; so everyone can
find them when we're not reading through specific messages or aren't
registered to specific forums.  We started seeding this easy to use,
searchable database with a few favorite links, including places to find
info on drum circles, festivals, hemp products, heirloom seeds, green
building, community resources and the peace movement, just to mention a
few.  We hope to create a thorough database on MANY subjects of interest
to Family, including alternative healthcare, spirituality, Family
businesses, and, of course, politics.

Finally our Family's Guide looks pretty good now, but if more of our
talented Rainbow Brothers and Sisters would lend their time and love, it
could become truly great. Rather than just few people trying to do it
all,  there are many skills that could come together in this effort:
photographers, graphic artists, web developers, editors, calendar
maintainers, LightLinks hunters, fund raisers, email responders and
more.  So please plug in, join us. We are creating an advertising free
Rainbow webspace (without those annoying pop-up ads) where we have total
artistic / editorial control and have the tools / skills necessary to
realize our vision.

Peace and Love,
Keri

The Rainbow Guide is a freely printed publication  of Rainbow friends,
tribes, communities and co-ops world over, and  has been in public
circulation for many years. This heartsong is  an effort of free love
supported by many peoples' Volunteer energy  and funded by kind
contributions to help make it all happen in  a beauty way. Each couple
of years  focalization of the Rainbow Guide passes to a new family tribe
to continue the vibration and spread  the love of a family united as
one. For the forseeable future, the "tribe" overseeing the Guide is now
a virtual one, and consists of folks all over the country  -- and can
involve folks all  over  the world -- including you!!!.
