13 people came, 2 faces were new to me.
PS: These notes are designated to DEG, who probably burned off his taste buds today because he drank a can of Moxie.
The 411:
1 IKEA furniture for the office? There are a few options, ranging in price and style. Still need to measure, decide on which ones, decide on payment methods. Ethan has the print-outs of the desks. The style was Mikael, if anyone wants to check stuff out on the IKEA website.
2 Computers- The newish comp. needs to be upgraded to XP, and it’ll arrive sometime next week. Unanimous decision to pay for it with club $.
3 Retreat? Possible dates: 10/9-10/10, 10/17-10/18. Possible Location: Outing Club House. Email Kim by TOMORROW, 9/07, with date and location preferences.
4 Videotape of meeting? Dot and Kim to Tennessee (I love that word), for conference, would like a tape of our beautiful, smiling faces to show off and brag about. Well, more like to show us discussing things. Is that okay with you? Email Kim if it isn’t.
5 NCOW: Wed, 10/13 Speakout at Noon. If you can speak, PLEASE SIGN UP. Email Kim. Kim, email Lindsey re: performing. Flyering for this event: 10/11

7 TIC---- NEW MEETING TIME!!!! 6:30, NOT 6!!!!!!!!
8 This WEEKEND!!!!! LOTS OF FOOD!!!!! ALANA (outside the ALANA Student Center) picnic: Friday at 4pm. LGBTQA (at Allen House), Sunday at 1pm. If you can help at the latter, come to Allen House at 11. Also, that is where we will color Condom + Cupcake posters.
9 First weekend in October: HOMECOMING!!! (I call Homecoming Queen! Haha, just kidding… kind of.) 10/2 at 12 is the parade. Set up is at 11. Will have separate meeting re: this.
10 STUDY: 9/14, 9/22, 9/30 at 7 pm in L/L Commons 306. Facilitators must meet Monday at 9.
11 AIDS Walk- who’s interested? Should we join up with Rugby for the walk? If we do the walk, it will be 9/18, meet in the office at 10 AM in the office.
12 Condoms and Cupcakes: 9/20 is the flyering and the event! Unanimous agreement (is that redundant?) to have Khristian register voters if he can do it. ETHAN: contact condom demonstrator! The 19th there will be the ultimate CUPCAKE THROW-DOWN!!!!! Kind of. Actually, we will be baking pretty cake treats. When, where, how: to be determined.
13 Artist Committee? Molly volunteered to head it up. Basically, this committee will try to get us to have another knock-your-socks-off show like last year when Melissa Ferrick came and made our ears happy. These concerts, etc are an awesome fundraiser and a great way to meet celebrities. Interested? Contact Mollly O’Hara.
14 Coffee/open mic stuff? Who? Gregory Dougless? Sarah Mell? Antara? Last day of classes?
15 Trans DOR meeting: next meeting on 09/19…. Contact Meghan Bannan for the full scoop. Also: our banner from last year… do we want it on campus still, or off campus for the day?
16 UPDATE WEBSITE!!!! Email us with your name, hometown, major, year of graduation, why you joined the club, a quote if you like, and a picture. Email this by Friday.
17 CLUB ADVISOR!!!! Currently Jackie Weinstock. We need to decide whether we would like to have Jackie continue or ask someone new by 9/22 in order to maintain club status.
18 ALSO!!!! Jackie is teaching a Class on Sexual Identities, and Wednesday 9/15 from 5-6:30 she needs people to come in, talk about their identity, coming out story, etc. We need people of all Ids, people who came out in high school, people who came out in college, etc. She has offered the club a $50 honorarium if we do it.
19 BASIC will have another meeting Thursday at 7pm in the C-high lounge of L/L. Come if interested.
Thanks a bunch for sticking with me. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve questioned our understanding of the universe… or maybe not. Anyway, have a fabulous week, and I can’t wait to see all of you again!
XOXO,
Elissa
