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?

Columbus Day Counter-Protest @ 16th and O Streets Columbus Day Counter-Protest @ 16th and O Streets
–
October 14, 2024Christopher Columbus was an architect of rape, murder, settler-colonialism, slavery, and genocide. He never set foot anywhere in what is now called the United States. But Monday, October 14th is still recognized as Columbus Day at the local, state, and federal levels.Indigenous Peoples' Day is recognized by the city of Lincoln and state of Nebraska, and Biden was the first U.S. president to acknowledge Indigenous Peoples' Day on a federal level in 2021. But this acknowledgment is happening on ALL levels alongside, NOT instead of, Columbus Day! We are officially celebrating our Native peoples and the man who terrorized their ancestors on the SAME DAY.If you think that sounds ridiculously disrespectful, then join The Black Cat House as we protest Columbus Day in front of the Federal Building on the corner of 16th and O Streets, October 14th from 4:30-6 PM. We'll have plenty of signs to spare, and some materials to make your own on the spot. We also have educational zines to hand out to passersby, if you'd like to help distribute or to grab a zine or two for yourself or a friend!General Meeting General Meeting
