     The 75-minute show is sponsored by the office of student life and the Gay and Lesbian Association of San Antonio College.

     The event was planned by former GALA President Aiizaku Buroun and Martha Castro, administrative secretary to Dean Alice Johnson, club adviser.

     The office of student life paid $2,000 of the performance fee and the Fine Arts and Cultural Events Series Committee paid $200.

      "To advertise for the event at least 100 fliers designed by Isabelle Burke have been posted around town and on the Texas SpotLight Web site," said current GALA President William Chandler.

     GALA volunteers will be collecting food donations, handling tickets, providing security and assisting at an autograph booth and sales booth where fans can buy Estrada's CDs.
