7/22/15 Minutes: Copy Machine, Sama, Fall Calendar

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

1. Event Review – We showed 416 on Saturday night. Turnout was a bit low, but the discussion was very good.

2. Upcoming Event – Trekkies For Humanism returns this Friday. We’re ready for it. We’ll be sure to plug it on Facebook in the next couple of days.

3. Reimbursement – Jackson bought some new dry-erase markers for the house, as ours were dried out. We reimburse him $3.21 for the expense.

4. Copy Machine – We still need to replace ours. Jackson will see what he can find locally. We’re thinking we have a budget of around $200.

5. Sama – The concert/discussion is coming up fast! Sammi reports he is nearly done with our flier. Jackson will be making the Facebook event at the conclusion of the meeting tonight, and will also be sending Sama another follow-up email.

6. Fall Calendar – Ty still needs some digital files to build the calendar; he’ll need to contact Ashley about that.

Meetings are returning to Monday nights at 7 PM. Open hours will not return for fall.

Will we continue to run Trekkies For Humanism?

Throwing Fuel on the Fire: The U.S. Empire and Iran (a community discussion)


June 6, 2026

Our summer calendar of events kicks off with this timely discussion about the United States and Iran. The recent military aggression has been rightfully and widely criticized, but too many Americans are only processing this war in terms of what it's doing to our prices at the gas pump.
Let's dig deeper on Saturday! Why was Iran's secular, democratic government in the 1950s overthrown by the CIA and their British counterparts? What has made the post-1979 Iranian government so hated by Washington? (Hint: It's not their Islamic fundamentalism... look at the U.S.-Saudi relationship.) What's at stake now in 2026?
This discussion may be held indoors or on our porch, depending on how favorable the weather is.
As always, our events are free and open to the public. The Black Cat House welcomes all ages, and is a drug and alcohol-free venue. To help keep everyone safe and healthy, we ask that all guests wear face masks inside our space. We are wheelchair accessible.
