With more than 150 members worldwide, AdMonsters membership now includes all of the top-tier online media publishers in the U.S, and many in Europe.

The group provides a forum for peers in the field to communicate and collaborate, as well as interact with third parties, vendors, and other industry groups. AdMonsters also works to identify best practices in online ad operations, and to reduce the cost and time required to implement, deploy, and track online advertising. We focus primarily on topics such as ad serving and related technologies, ad production (aka "traffic"), inventory and yield management, advertising products, policies, procedures, pricing, and industry standards."

Team members help each other train hard, train smart and have a great time reaching our goals, and provide a supportive environment for each other as gay and lesbian athletes within the sport of triathlon.

If you're interested in multisport -- duathlon, triathlon or adventure racing -- either as an individual or as part of a relay team, give the Tritons a try!"

Working in conjunction with some of the largest local, national, and international groups and organizations, QBliss offers a true community based information hub that focuses on GLBTI issues throughout the world. This is achieved by utilizing the Internet and its resources by offering QBliss.net, Yahoo® Powered groups, as well as real-time news feeds that tap GLBTI specific information as well as general world news that affects all people regardless of sexual orientation. All of these services are offered free of charge.

Unlike many other GLBTI web sites that offer nothing more than adult material and a somewhat stereotypical twist on our community, QBliss is becoming a more visual entity on the Internet and our community by breaking down the stereotypes and creating real change. Please join us in an effort to put a real face on the GLBTI community and celebrating our diversity."

For more than 15 years, TIME'S UP! has worked to educate people about the environmental impacts of everyday decisions, from the food we buy to the means of transportation we use."
Women About. "In February, 1976, Ellen Dickinson, newly out to herself as a lesbian, was sunning on a Washington Square parkbench when inspiration struck. She envisioned a group that would provide lesbians an opportunity to share their love of nature and the outdoors. What she saw was a social alternative to the bars that would also nurture lesbianism.

Ironically, she found herself drumming up enthusiasm among women at the Duchess, a popular lesbian bar of the of the time. Jay Slivka, co-founder with Ellen, and three other women, stepped out of the bar scene to organize what would become "Hikin' Dykes."

The very first event was a hike that took place along the Appalachian Trail with just two pioneering women. Soon after, on February 15, 1976, the first meeting was held with fewer than 10 women.They drew up a schedule of activities in newsletter format and established the group's name.

Since then, thousands of women have come together to enjoy social events with other lesbians. Our name was changed to better reflect a more diversified range of activities, which include more cultural events for women.
Women About continues to provide a safe space for women to come together to enjoy shared interests and common activities. It serves as a valuable alternative to the lesbian bars that were once the only gathering places for women
who love other women."

The Conservancy provides more than 85% of Central Park's annual $23 million operating budget and is responsible for all basic care of the Park.

With 25 million visitors each year to its 843 acres, Central Park is the most frequently visited urban park in the United States. To manage the Park, Conservancy crews aerate and seed lawns; rake leaves; prune and fertilize trees; plant shrubs and flowers; maintain ballfields and playgrounds; remove graffiti; conserve monuments, bridges, and buildings; and care for waterbodies and woodlands, controlling erosion, maintaining the drainage system, and protecting over 150 acres of lakes and streams from pollution, siltation, and algae."
