5/3/21 Minutes: Hawley Hamlet Event, Yard Sale, Refugee Fundraiser

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

1. Upcoming Event – We are doing a workshop this Saturday at the Hawley Hamlet. This was only confirmed via chat late last week, and worktime was spent at the top of the meeting getting an event created for that.

2. Library Donation – Aleisha brought us a book last week, and Jackson has another stack of books as well. They look good to us and are going into the library.

3. Library Update – Jackson reports that Naomi was here last Friday cataloging one of our bookcases for the new database.

4. Yard Sale – Our Facebook event is up and we have started collecting donations and promises of further donations.

5. Fundraiser? – We have been asked by a close and trusted friend of our good friend (and Jackson’s surrogate mama) Dance to help raise money for a refugee family in danger of deportation in Sweden. This family will likely be put to death if they are forced to return home. We can’t make any commitments on this with so few of our group represented in the meeting tonight, but we’d like to come back to this very soon with the full group together. We need to decide if we want to make a direct donation from our treasury, if we want to donate a chunk of our yard sale proceeds, and/or if we want to do a public push for donations. (Ty mentions that our bank account should be ready to go if we need it.)

Meeting adjourned: 8:05 PM
