11/24/14 Minutes: Calendar Edits

In attendance: Ashley (secreatary), Jackson (moderator), Ramona, Ty (moderator)
Start time: 7:00

Upcoming Events: The feminist Crafting Circle is tomorrow. We need to get the supplies out, but other than that the event is taken care of. Audrey wants to do some kind of anti-racist event this coming weekend for a class. We approve of this, she’ll coordinate and let us know.

Open Hours: Ashley and Ty are doing a large animal rescue operation tomorrow afternoon, so no one will be here to man open hours. We cancel them for Tuesday. Ty will cover it Wednesday.

Book: We were offered a book on paperback swap, but it seems we already have it. Ashley will delete it from our wishlist.

Calendar: The LSH meeting is scheduled on the same day as a Doane speaking date. We reschedule it for the 4th. It seems like the LSH and LA are fine with Lazlo’s, and there’s been a vote against the one downtown because of parking concerns. Ashley will make the arrangements. Ashley will update the previous minutes.

In attendance: Ashley, Jackson (moderator), Sammi (moderator), Ty (secretary)

Start time: 7:00 PM

1. Event Review – We had a very busy week! Trekkies for Humanism was on Friday, and that went well. It’s still regularly drawing people. How to Do Protests turned out to be rather small due to the weather. Ty ended up taking on working on it at the last minute, and wishes he could do a powerpoint or another formal presentation. As it was, it turned out okay. It would be nice to get more people experienced in different methods of protests. The concert on Sunday was good!

2. Reimbursement – Jackson paid for printing buttons designs and fliers, for $4.82. He also paid for three CDs at the concert for $20. Altogether the collective reimbursed him $24.82.

3. Free Store – A person from the Midwestern Anarchist Federation is trying to open a free store. We’ve decided to donate to the $10 tier, which in addition to helping their cause also gets us a digital zine pack. Ashley’s going to take care of the details of paying on Indiegogo.

4. Calendar – We discussed whether to include our counter-protest to the anti-choice Walk to Life on the calendar, and we decided to leave it off the calendar and advertise for separately. We also discussed a location for the Winter Solstice Party, and Lazlo’s came up as a good option. Ashley’s going to start a group chat between Lincoln Secular Humanists and Lincoln Atheists to finalize which location.

11/10/14 Minutes: Calendar, Pronoun Buttons, Reimbursement

In attendance: Ashley (moderator), Barry, Jackson (secretary), Ramona, Sammi (moderator), Ty

Start time: 7:00 PM

1. Event Review – We had three events this week, and they all had great turnout. We hosted a discussion on gender issues in the local music scene on Wednesday. It sounds like there will be more work organized on this issue down the road. We also had the Sama/Bloth concert on Friday night; the performers raved about their time here and the audience they got to play for. We also had the showing of the documentary (A)sexual; while the film wasn’t the greatest, we had a great discussion about that afterward.

2. Upcoming Events – Asexuals of Lincoln are meeting here tomorrow night at 7. Trekkies For Humanism is coming up on Friday. There’s no special prep work needed for either of these.

We also have the How To Organize Protests event coming up on Saturday. Ashley is cramming a bit to lead the discussion, but she also encourage us to be doing some research to contribute to this as well.

3. Buttons – We are running low on our he/him and she/her pronoun buttons, and Ashley wants us to print and press some more. We agree to get five more pages of each printed up this week.

11/3/14
In attendance: Ashley (secretary), Jackson (moderator), Sammi, Ty (moderator)
Start Time: 7:00

Upcoming Events: We have a discussion on Wednesday about gender privilege in the local music scene. There’s not much we need to do for this event other than have chairs out. Sama is performing on Friday, and we’re a little worried about the turnout. We’ve fliered and posted it on several places online, but we’ll also urge people at the event on Wednesday to attend. Finally, the (A)sexual movie night is Saturday. We’ll need to stream it on Ty’s computer or use Ashley’s ps3. Sammi and Ty will answer questions/lead the discussion afterward.

Open Hours: Ashley is working all day tomorrow and requested that open hours we be cancelled this week. We all agree this is a good idea.

Reimbursement: Ty and Jackson went to office max and bought some things for the house. Ty bought some organizers for our zines and fliers and lable stickers. He spent $26.99, we approve reimbursement.

Posters: Tyler donated several beehive prints. We put them up around the space.
