Dear Cristina, When you first came to me with your outline of the Rainbow Pages, I was knocked out. Never had someone created an annual marketing publication that was magazine quality. As things developed, I became a charter advertiser with you and later fully utilized your website's functionality. As you've expanded into other Texas cities, I have followed you. Your constant efforts to help clients network themselves, to create social events where advertisers and invitees can mingle and get to know each other, and your strong and professional courage to take someone by the hand and personally introduce them to one of your advertisers creates value added service that no one does but for you. To sum it all up, you're the most unique, the most effective and the most fabulous network marketing resource I've ever come across. THANKS!

Dear Cristina, I am once again honored to be a part of the Gay & Lesbian Rainbow Pages. It is without doubt, the best annual directory publication available to bring together the GLBT community and our supporters. You have set the bar high by producing such a valuable resource of businesses and organizations in a full color glossy, up-scale publication. You bring sophistication to our growing and diverse community. I applaud you for all you do for our community. Your tireless efforts to bring out the best in both individuals and our community as a whole, shows a commitment and a passion that is very rare. My deepest respect and affection.

FROM THE PUBLISHER Cristina E. Martinez I am pleased to present to you the sixth edition of the Gay & Lesbian Rainbow Pages. As a locally owned, privately held company, we are part of the community, as such, we experience the highs and lows of our local events like Hurricane Ike. In 2008, the economy took a plunge and we feel the best way to serve our advertisers is to continue offering the most cost effective advertising vehicle for area businesses to reach the gay and lesbian market. We have listened to our customers and our readers who have expressed how they value the amount of money and time we give back to the community. We want you to know that we consider it a privilege to be able to support our non profits and different events that happen year round in our community. Continuing our tradition of giving back to the community, we are pleased to announce the launching of the Rainbow Pages Foundation. The Rainbow Pages Foundation will serve the GLBT community in different ways, with different programs. Some future plans include a GLBT Youth Center, a scholarship program and other programs to be announced later. Our website www.rainbowpages.net continues to gain new visitors each month and you can view all of our directories online. Ultimately, we strive to be a reflection of the communities and neighborhoods we serve. I want to thank all of our advertisers for their continuing trust and support and also to thank all of our readers and users of this directory. To my staff, which continues to grow, I say thank you. You are essential to the creation of this directory. Look for better and bigger things to come in 2009 and for more expansion and new cities of our print and online editions. Wishing you the best for 2009 and always I remain, Cristina E. Martinez CEO/Publisher Gay & Lesbian Rainbow Pages®

Once David Lorms tells you about all the discounts available, you might want a wallet-sized photo.
“Your billfold is about to get fatter. Because not only will a photo of your favorite new insurance agent find a valued place in your wallet, the pictures of several presidents could as well. Farmersʼ agents like me have access to more than 35 discounts, which means you could save money on a policy thatʼs just right for you. Whatʼs not to love? Contact me today. Then grab some scissors. Your wallet will thank you.”
Do you love your agent?

ICOH ICOH -- The TheSpace SpaceCity CityEmpire Empire Lexy Bowen Community Lexy Bowen CommunityFund Fund The Lexy Bowen Community Fund [LBCF] is an emergency assistance fund created by Apollo Emperor I Sean Carter in honor of his “Imperial Counterpart” Rene Perez a.k.a. Lexy Bowen. Sean felt that the Houston GLBT Community had numerous emergency funds to help individuals with HIV/AIDS yet was scarce on resources to help GLBT individuals who may not have HIV/AIDS. The Lexy Bowen Community Fund assists any member of the Houston Community for non HIV/AIDS related emergency needs - especially people facing issues including but not limited to cancer, hepatitis, depression, death, etc. For application information, call 713-226-2220 or e-mail LBCF@spacecityempire.org Donations to the LBCF are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated!
