In attendance: Brandon, Jackson (secretary), Will, Wyatt (moderator)
Start time: 7:15 PM
1. Event Review – We ran the documentary How to Survive a Plague. We had a great turnout and discussion. We seemed to have struck a nerve choosing this event.
2. Upcoming Event – Our next event will be the Manufacturing Consent documentary night on July 12th.
Meeting Cancellation – We are not having a meeting next week, because we’ll be coming back from Socialism Conference in Chicago. We will resume normal meetings on July 15th.
Will’s Updates – Will reports that the Commune has a 1 year subscription rate available to Infoshops for $90, and he offers to pay half of it himself. Jackson and Wyatt need to talk to Ty and Marc, since our budget is pretty tight.
He also had ideas about local groups doing a alternative to FoodNet in local food distro. We had a discussion about it, but we’re not ready to commit to it at this time.
Money – Jackson will be reimbursed $50 for writing a check for the security deposit on the Unitarian Church for the Red State Conference. These are the first $50 of our $200 commitment to the conference. We will put the rest towards our commitment to catering the breakfast. We also decided to continue tabling the $80 in limbo we’ve been discussing.
