7/29/15 Minutes: Sama, Fall Calendar

Posted on by

In attendance: Jackson (moderator), Ty (secretary)
Start time: 7:00 PM

  1. Event Review – Trekkies was on Friday. The turnout was okay, but discussion was brief. It did give Jackson some incentive to want to put Trekkies on the calendar for fall.
  2. Upcoming Event – Grave of the Fireflies is on Saturday, given it’s a movie night there’s not much prep needed.
  3. Copy Machine – Jackson is continuing to search for a suitable copy machine.
  4. Website – We are still migrating information over to the new website. Jackson is approved for reimbursement for $134.63 for new website expenses.
  5. Sama – We did some last minute edits to the flier and we’ve sent it off for printing!
  6. Fall Calendar – Ty still needs some digital files to build the calendar; he’ll need to contact Ashley about that.

Meetings are returning to Monday nights at 7 PM. Open hours will not return for fall.  Trekkies will return for fall

7/15/15 Minutes: Website, Buttons, Sama, Fall Calendar

Posted on by

In attendance: Ella, Jackson (moderator), Sammi, Ty (secretary)
Start time: 7:00 PM

1. Upcoming Event: 416 is this Saturday! It’ll be easy enough to pull off, just gotta clean up in here!

2. Website: Ella had suggested a few hosting options a while ago, and she went over the pros and cons of each of them, as well as the pros and cons of Druple and WordPress. We’ve decided to transfer over to bluehost and a WordPress website. We approved spending funds to get the next hosting paid for as soon as Ella sends us some promotional discount information. We have set aside the 26th to get the new site set up, but there will be some downtime afterwards while we input necessary information into the site.

3. Toilet Seat: The public restroom’s toilet seat has shattered, and Jackson paid for a replacement. It was $17.64 and we approve reimbursement.

4. Buttons: Sammi has said, on behalf of Common Root, that they were interested in distributing pronoun buttons within the school system. However, given that we already distribute them, they wanted to ask before they did so. We determined that it wouldn’t be a concern if they also distributed pronoun buttons, and that it’s just a question of whether they wanted to make their own design or whether we’d supply them with our buttons. Sammi will let Common Root know and figure out what route they want to take.

5. Mail: We got a zine in the mail from the Sporeprint Infoshop concerning the prison industrial complex, mental health systems, and radical politics. Thanks, folks! (Also as soon as we have a means to print one, we’ll be sending a copy to Common Root as the letter that came with it also requested).

6. Sama: We need a FB event and a flyer! Ty thinks he can whip up a flyer, but it needs to be done quickly and he’s got classes. He also has a friend that may be able to assist depending on their schedule. Jackson will make the FB event. Sammi also thinks that he may be able to help this weekend.

7. Fall Calendar

Mostly tabled, but Sammi suggested Ma Vie en Rose as a November movie.

Our open Saturdays for fall will be Oct 3, Nov 14, and maybe Nov 21 (see below)

September – movie, Trekkies?
Thu, Sep 10, 7 PM – LSH meeting
Sat, Sep 19, 1-3 PM – What is Gentrification? discussion
October – movie, Trekkies?
Mon, Oct 12, 5 PM? (Federal Building) – Anti-Columbus Day protest
Sat, Oct 17, 1-3 PM – Why protest? (Title TBD) discussion
November – movie, Trekkies?
Fri, Nov 20 or Sat, Nov 21 – Transgender Day of Remembrance panel discussion (Title TBD)

Meeting adjourned: 8:25 PM

7/8/15 Minutes: Fall Calendar, Website, Trans Clothing Giveaway

Posted on by

In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Ty (moderator)
Start time: 7:00 PM

1. Event Review: We watched Elysium last Thursday. Our turnout was ok, and the conversation was good afterward.

2. Website: Our hosting is set to be renewed automatically on August 1st, for around $130. Ty has asked Ella for some advice on whether we should renew, or seek other options.

3. Pride/Trans Clothing Giveaway – Ty will be tabling at Star City Prie this Saturday. Ty will be ready. Ty is also organizing a clothing giveaway for Trans people with the donations we received months ago for our trans clothing swap (and garage sale leftovers). Ty will be available here on Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM for people to drop by, and may leave it set up for appointments until next Friday (the day before our next event).

4. Fall Calendar:

Our open Saturdays for fall will be Oct 3, Nov 14, and maybe Nov 21 (see below)

September – movie, Trekkies?
Thu, Sep 10, 7 PM – LSH meeting

7/1/15 Minutes: Quorum, Website, Graphic Design, Fall Calendar

Posted on by

In attendance: Jackson (moderator), Ty (secretary)
Start time: 7:00 PM

1. Upcoming Event – Elysium is tomorrow! We’ll make sure the room is set up for it after the meeting tonight, since Ty can’t attend.

2. Quorum – Jackson and Ty discussed lowering the quorum from three to two. Ashley has submitted an absentee vote once contacted on the matter in agreement. It passes.

3. Reimbursement – Jackson is asking reimbursement for printing button designs and fliers. He paid $2.14 for this, and he’ll be reimbursed for this.

3.5. An announcement: Jackson says that he got the email stating that our web hosting will be renewed in 60 days. Since were considering changing formatting for the site, we should get in touch with Ella for advice on how to proceed.

4. Sama – Sama has sent another email. She approved of the early start time and would encourage local community members who have something to say on queer/trans issues to attend. We will need to make a flier for the event, as well as get a Facebook event up.

5. Graphics – Ashley can no longer make graphic designs for us. Ty has asked that she send editable files to him so he can potentially work on them from here on out. Since we have many templates already, it’s also possible Ella can help us, so we should ask her whether she’d be willing to assist.

6. Fall Calendar – Movies suggested but unable to be implemented last calendar were: In Time, Gasland, and The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema. Event ideas were a discussion on protests, a discussion on gentrification, a panel of transgender speakers for TDOR, and a fundraiser for Kurds. LSH also needs to be scheduled for the second Thursday in September. There is also the Anti-Columbus Day protest on October 12th. There is the potential of Trekkies, but we need to decide how to continue it.

Consideration needs to be taken to make sure events don’t overlap with Husker game days because of traffic issues. Ty also requests scheduling around the LGBTQA Resource Center’s events, due to beginning to work there in the fall.

Meeting adjourned: 7:40 PM
