Dear Members and Friends: Your Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce is proud to release its 2012 S.O.M.A. Resource Guide and, Directory. We wish to thank Bacardi/Grey Goose for once again sponsoring the most important LGBT & Allied community resource available from which to plan purchases and/or, selecting service providers. Every year we are asked by Corporate America (and south Florida) to help measure the impact of the LGBT dollar. Your use of this book and, your telling our members that you are conducting business with them as a direct response to their support of the MDGLCC, will reinforce their continued investment in the South Florida Community of 500,000 loyal LGBT patrons. S.O.M.A. stands for Support Our Members Always. It is from this support that our community thrives and, has a voice in the policies that shape our nation, our state and, our local communities. Your Chamber reflects the needs and desires of the LGBT & Allied businesses that are our members. We ask that you keep this Resource Guide next to your phone, in your home and, in your place of business. Refer to it frequently when making recommendations to a friend, have a need for a service and/ or, looking for a special item for yourself or business. We are strongest when we act together so, let this book serve as an inspiration to S.O.M.A! As we did in 2011, this book will be amended twice in 2012 to reflect changes and, additions to our membership. You can always find the most current information online at www.GayBizMiami.com (including detailed descriptions for each business). Please feel free to call the MDGLCC Team should you have a question about any listing in our S.O.M.A. directory. We distribute copies all over Miami-Dade (including the LGBT Visitor/Community Center on Miami Beach). Should you need more copies, please feel free to ask us. We print 20,000 copies each year so, there are plenty to go around! We wish all of you a prosperous 2012 and, look forward to serving you, our members and, our community, as you have come to expect... with dignity, honesty and, sincerity. And, making new friends throughout the year.
Thank you! Your Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce
