7/2/18 Minutes: Fall Calendar Planning, Donation to Philippines, Meeting Canceled, New Books!

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

1. Next Week – We’re canceling next week’s meeting because it’ll be right after the Socialism conference and we may not make it home in time for the scheduled meeting. We’ll advertise this on Facebook.

2. Upcoming Event – Popcorn Politics returns next Friday! We already have the movie, but we still need to get it up on Facebook. Jackson is in contact with our DSA contacts on getting that drafted by tomorrow.

3. Email – We got two emails. One is from an apolitical band (and one that’s contacted us before…), so we’re ignoring that one. The other email came from the Feral Crust Collective in the Philippines. They’re trying to raise money for a sewing machine to make menstrual pads and other things to fundraise for their ecological projects. We decide to send them $50. (Jackson reports it will actually cost us $54.99, because of a PayPal fee).

4. Monthly Review – Our books came in! We agree to reimburse Jackson the $80 he spent on them for us.

5. 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.
