Gay life in Chicago this week, back in...
1966
In the July 1966 issue of Mattachine Midwest Newsletter, an article reads:
"We of MATTACHINE MIDWEST, Inc. are very proud to announce that we are celebrating our first anniversary.
"MATTACHINE MIDWEST begins its anniversary weekend with a Dinner-Concert on July 22 at 6:00 p.m. Following this will be a Champagne Gala on July 23 at 8:00 P.m. Both of these events are open to members and guests only. However, on Sunday July 24 at 1:30 p.m., we are having our annual MATTACHINE Sylvan Bacchanal at the Forest Preserves. This event will be open to the public –– at no charge. As the program for the Bacchanal progresses, it promises to be a swinging ball for everyone there."
