Meeting start: 7:07pm
Attending: Jackson, Matt, Salem, Ty, Marc (secretary)
Event Review: Movie night
- Folks really enjoyed the movie! We had a small turnout, but the discussion after the fact was good.
- We experienced some technical difficulties with streaming, but thankfully had a back-up option for viewing. In the future, we may not be able to stream movies (or we will need to make sure our tech is up to snuff first).
Upcoming Events & promotions
- We need to draft/finalize our July event descriptions and get them posted to the site and our facebook page.
- To Wong Foo – We need the description for this still. Ty will take point on drafting it.
- Amazon discussion – Salem will take point on this event description. Matt also suggested putting discussion points in our discord chat so that we can have questions at the ready when we have the event.
- July Newsletter – We’ll keep an eye out for other events that are in-line with BCH’s mission to cross-promote. We have some emails from Earth Day that still need to be added to the listserv; Ty will take point on this.
Rewilding/Urban Gardening Event
- Salem brought an application to have BCH featured as part of an educational community walking tour that focuses on homes with gardens of native plants, pollinator gardens, vegetable/herb gardens, etc. The event will be in early fall, for late September/early October depending on weather.
- We would need to have some sort of educational talk/tabling prepared with information about the garden, which we could put together pretty easily. Jackson will take point on applying.
Free Pride
- Marc and Ty started printing zines and organizing stickers, buttons, etc. for Free Pride tabling.
- We will need to remember to bring the tablecloth, a folding table, literature review holders, and a sign-up sheet for our newsletter.
- Free Pride will be at Antelope Park starting at 3:30 PM and going to about 8 PM. Ty and Marc will be able to commit to being there until 6 PM.
Beehive Collective
- The Beehive Collective is on tour and will be stopping in Lincoln on Wednesday, September 11.
- We would like to help host/sponsor their visit to Nebraska. We discussed potential contacts that might be interested in also co-sponsoring their visit.
- BCH can also help with financial assistance.
Fall Calendar Planning
- September: Rewilding Garden Tour, Beehive Collective, the Breadwinner (movie)

- November: Re-visit the “talking to your racist uncle” event from last year; Transexual Menace (movie), Columbus Day Protest, “Can We Vote Our Way Out of this Mess?” re-deaux since it’s an election year 🙁
