Greg's activities: met with managing director of Pride Toronto.  He had a couple of suggestions:
* fulltime volunteer development coordinator
* firstpride.com is selling the name of Pride to corporations but they don't have any connection to any Pride organizations.  Pride Toronto is working to copywrite the word "Pride."
