In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Ty (moderator)
Start time: 7:00 PM
1. Event Review – We ran _Get Out_ for Popcorn Politics on Friday. The turnout was a little lower than we’d hoped, but the snowy weather may have had something to do with that. The discussion was also unfortunately shorter than we’d hoped. People still seemed to enjoy the film.
2. Whose Streets – Jackson bought the movie, and it came in! Since Chris specifically made a donation to us with covering the movie in mind, we’ll add it to our library and reimburse Jackson the $7.99 he paid for it.
3. Militant – This week’s issue of the Militant came in the mailbox with a notice that our subscription is expiring in two weeks. We decide that Jackson will renew it for another two years ($65) the next time we see Joe. Jackson will be reimbursed for this expense.
