6/25/18 Minutes: Fall Calendar Beginnings

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

1. Event Review – Popcorn Politics was last Friday, which went well! A new visitor to the house noted that they came there through Outlinc’s calendar – we didn’t post it there, but we do need to do better about making sure we share our LGBTQ+ related events there.

2. Fall Calendar – The Young Karl Marx is a movie night we would like to feature at some point, but the DVD is still rather expensive. We would also like to see In The Intense Now, but it might not be on DVD yet. Perhaps there is another film about 1968 political actions that we can show before the year is over.

Black-Out Days: September 1, 8, 15, 29; October 20; November 2, 10, 17
Grey-Out Days: September 14, October 27, November 24

3. Cancelled Meeting? – We might cancel our July 9 meeting because if the trip to the Socialism 2018 conference goes as planned, we may not be back from Chicago in time for the meeting at 7. However, we decided to postpone officially cancelling or going ahead with the meeting until next week, where hopefully we will have a better projection of how the trip will go.

Meeting adjourned: 7:39 PM

6/18/18 Minutes: Treasury Update, Book Order

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

1. Upcoming Event – We’re showing Moonlight for our next installment of Popcorn Politics on Friday night. The movie came in the mail today, and we should be ready to go. The Facebook event seems to be getting a nice response, so we’re hoping for a good turnout.

2. AK Press – We got two more books in the mail for being Friends of AK Press: As Black As Resistance and Kropotkin’s Modern Science and Anarchy.

3. Treasury Update – Jackson has updated our treasury. Our library funds are pretty skimpy, and we want to buy some more books, so we decided to transer $100 from the General Treasury to our Library Treasury.

4. Monthly Review – Monthly Review is doing a big clearance sale on some interesting books. Jackson ordered them tonight for $80, and he’ll be reimbursed for that purchase.

6/11/18 Minutes: Short Meeting!

In Attendance: Jackson (moderator), Ty (secretary)
Start time: 7:17 PM

1. Event Review – We had a discussion on the prison-industrial complex, which didn’t cover all the bases we could have, though it was still good for the big topic and the smaller time slot than we usually have.

2. Book and Zine – We picked up a free zine from DSA Lincoln’s booth at Feed the People for our zine archive, and Jackson donated a book that is rele

In Attendance: Jackson (secretary), Ty (moderator)
Start time: 7:04 PM

1. Event Review – We had our People’s Choice Movie Night in honor of our 5th Anniversary on Friday night. It was a really good time. We had just enough pizza, had a great turnout, and a pretty good discussion afterwards.

2. Upcoming Events – We’re hosting another conference planning meeting tomorrow evening. Jackson will attend and get the room set up. On Saturday, we will be tabling at the Feed the People BBQ and then hosting our community discussion “What is the Prison-Industrial Complex?” right afterwards. We took a few minutes to update our library display for stuff most relevant to our discussion Saturday.

3. Book Donation – Chris donated a copy of Injustices to us. We happily accept it. Thanks, Chris!

4. Website Renewal – Jackson has gotten an email from our hosting company saying we’re due for renewal next month. We’re planning to renew our hosting for the next three years on the deal they’ve offered us, which will cost us $395.64.
