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?

Movie Night: They Live Movie Night: They Live
–
October 18, 2024The Black Cat House's October movie night is here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and we're all outta bubblegum!
We'll be showing the 1988 sci-fi/horror classic They Live, directed by the great John Carpenter. The film stars WWE Hall-of-Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper as a drifter who gets a special pair of sunglasses that allows him to see through the propaganda and realize that the Earth has been invaded by greedy capitalist aliens! He must then seek allies and find ways to fight back. It may be cheesy in places, but it's also a much-loved action classic of the '80s AND a metaphor for the political situation in the Reagan Era. Last but not least, this film continues to inspire some pretty good political memes.
Discussion will follow the movie.
This event is 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 in our space. We are wheelchair accessible.
