The collection contains primarily ephemeral materials such as fliers, programs, pamphlets, and news clippings with a small amount of correspondence relating to Kris Kleindienst’s involvement with the Gay Games; Red Tomatoe, Inc. and local entertainment events; Team St. Louis; and the Mor or Les bar. There is one unpublished manuscript by Kleindienst, “An Incomplete History and Analysis of the St. Louis Women’s Movement.” The collection is arranged alphabetically by topic and dates from 1974 to 1995. The Red Tomatoe, Inc. files include one folder containing a checking account register dating from 1975 to 1979 and mailings from Tomatoe Productions which include annual reports. These include reviews of work done, plans for the next year, and detailed explanations of the organization’s finances including graphics. There is also blank stationery used by Red Tomatoe, Inc. The many concert fliers and programs are arranged chronologically, some of which are signed by the artists. Programs sporadically include information about Red Tomatoe and the individuals involved with its productions. The Coalition for the Environment co-sponsored shows such as Holly Near on Tour for a Nuclear-Free Future at Powell Symphony Hall in 1979; a Holly Near concert in 1981; and Silkwood, a one-woman play, in 1981. Much of the material for the four Gay Games in the collection consists of mailings sent to athletes and provided to them on site by the governing body of the games, the Federation of Gay Games of San Francisco Arts and Athletics, Inc., and by local committees such a Unity ’94. It includes brochures, schedules, programs, and local information. There are two competition numbers worn by Kleindienst in San Francisco and New York (f.2). There are several news clippings, newspapers, and publications about the Gay Games from various sources. Kleindienst wrote about the Vancouver Games for the 1991 St. Louis Pride Guide (f.3). In 1984, she received the first issue of Triumph, a magazine dedicated to the Gay Games which arrived taped in a plain paper wrapper shielding its title (f.5). The Team St. Louis folders contain news clippings, a small number of letters and memos, blank grant applications, and many fliers announcing meetings and various fundraisers. One event held in March 1994 featured a reception for Bob and Rod Jackson-Paris held to benefit The Anti-Violence Project and Team St. Louis. There are also four Team St. Louis newsletters dated from 1993 to 1995 and minutes from one meeting held on August 28, 1993. The Mor or Les was a women’s bar at 4135 South Grand Boulevard which was the target of window breaking, graffiti, and bomb threats. In a July 1979 letter, manager Mac McCann addressed the bar’s options after appearing before the excise commissioner when neighbors filed a protest petition against the bar. There are newspaper clippings about the petition and the subsequent arson attack which destroyed the bar on September 11, 1979. There is a news release dated September 12, 1979, titled “Groups respond to violence” about the fire and a list of endorsements for Concerned Citizens Against Violence. Kleindienst’s paper, An Incomplete History and Analysis of the St. Louis Women’s Movement, covered activities from 1969 to 1977. In it she examined the following groups: the Lesbian Alliance, Metro NOW and North County NOW, Shindanah School, Camp Artemis, Rape Crisis Center (1973), and Moonstorm. Included is a timeline of activities and a newspaper article by Susan Fadem from the April 2-3, 1977, issue of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, “Women history shouldn’t forget.”
