4/15/24 Meeting Minutes

In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Matt, Ty
Start time: 7:10 PM

  1. Events Review – We had Garden Day on Saturday and hosted a community discussion on Ancestral Culture and Modern Identity on Sunday. Garden Day had a modest turnout, which was ok since Jackson and Wyatt were double-booked with obligations with our guest speaker Dr. Fredrik. We did meet a new friend who expressed interest in doing some painting for us; we’ll be following up with her. Our discussion with Dr. Fredrik on Sunday drew our biggest crowd of the year to date. Everyone seemed to have a pretty good time. Jackson paid out the $150 to Fredrik that we committed to previously.
  2. Upcoming Events – We’re showing Israelism on Friday night. Matt thinks it would be preferable to get our new blackout curtains installed for then. Jackson doesn’t know if that’s realistic; he’ll have to check with Wyatt, but Wyatt is behind on work after spending most of last week with Dr. Fredrik. We’re also tabling at Lincoln Earth Day on Saturday. Matt will be here at 9:15 AM to get folks over to Innovation Campus. Salem is ill, but will hopefully bounce back by Saturday.
  3. Yard Sale – Ty has prepared a draft for our online advertising. We will be posting it in the next few days to Facebook and our website. Jackson would also like a post for our Instagram; Ty will check to see if we have any old photos of previous yard sales to build that around.
