9/24/18 Minutes: Reimbursement, October Events, AK Press

In Attendance: Jackson (secretary), Ty (moderator), Wyatt (late)

Start time: 7:04 PM

1. Event Review – We had our reading discussion on Puerto Rico on Saturday. Our turnout was a bit lower than expected, but it was a good discusssion in spite of that. Once again, the one non-Husker gameday in September had a lot of competition, perhaps most particularly the Nebraskans for Peace conference in Kearney.

2. AK Press – Jackson has tried to call AK Press about our bulk order in the last week. He had to leave a voicemail, and they have not followed up with us by phone or email. Jackson will try to call again.

3. Reimbursement – Jackson picked up our handouts and more handbills from the copy center last week. He spent $7.13, and needs reimbursement. We are cool with this. He also reports that they are bringing back the discount days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with 3 cent b/w and 28 cent color copies. We will keep this in mind as we schedule future printings.

4. October Events – We spent the rest of our meeting working on getting our October events posted online.

Meeting adjourned: 8:05 PM

Tabled items: AK Press Purchase, Graphic Designer, Stuff to Buy (canopy, stuff to secure bike rack, labels, 7×7 no-slip outdoor mat for porch, new SSD hard drive for public laptop, more button parts), Getting all fall events to website

9/17/18 Minutes: Events to Come, Books

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

1. Event Review – Popcorn Politics: Free State of Jones was last Friday. Jackson reports that it was cool, enjoyable film about a bit of forgotten history. There was an OK turnout, and a decent discussion.

2. Upcoming Event – The reading discussion for “The Politics of Survival” is coming up, and Ty will pull together print-outs for the article, and print off 15 copies of them for Jackson to pick up (he’ll also take care of printing off 25 more sheets of fall calendar handbills).

3. AK Press – We got a children’s book from AK Press, which will go in the Kitten Corner! We also have yet to get a invoice from them for our bulk order. Ty will email them… again. But first, Jackson’s gonna try calling them.

4. October Events – Ty will get the “To Each According to Their Needs” discussion description drafted by the end of the week, and Jackson will talk to DSA Lincoln to draft a description of Alien

5. Work Time – The rest of meeting time was spent sorting through potential books for the library.

1. Upcoming Events – Popcorn Politics returns this Friday! We have the movie; we just need to set up the room! Before that, we’re probably hosting the debrief for the Red State conference sometime this week, so we’ve got to get cleaning for that as well!
