21  |  OutBoise Magazine  | NEWS Bonnie Davidson Bonnie was quick to join our team when she saw the amount of work I had on my plate. An expert in the field of journalism, she knows her way around. And when I put the word out, in the beginning, that I was in need of some help, she stepped in as my copy editor. Prior to Bonnie joining the team, there wasn’t a whole lot of work thrown in for anything other than spell check. But she didn’t just step in to make sure grammar and sentence structure were on point. In fact, she also, on occasion provided stories for us. To this day, whenever one of my writers needs help with an article, or if they need to find a resource that they may not know about, she always steps in to lend a hand. I have known Bonnie for most of my life, and I consider her to be a great friend. I couldn’t be more grateful for all the help she has given to ensure that this magazine comes together every month. Jerry Nabarrete-Stuart Jerry came to us with one goal in mind: FOOD. In the first year, Jerry provided us with a wide variety of recipes, as well as some reviews of local restaurants. His enthusiasm, and his dedication to the local LGBT Community have gone far beyond the work he did for OutBoise, though. Last June, he singlehandedly organized Boise’s first AIDS Walk. He is already been hard at work again this year OutBoisemag.com | Issue 19 | May 2016 The Writers to help put on a much bigger AIDS Walk, and has gone above and beyond what is needed to make sure that it happens successfully. We wish Jerry the best of luck with this endeavor, and thank him for being a part of our family. While I could go on about every single writer we have had the opportunity to work with, it is difficult to manage in limited space.
