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: The Breadwinner Movie Night: The Breadwinner
–
September 13, 2024Our September movie at the Black Cat House will be the 2017 animated drama The Breadwinner. It was directed by Nora Twomey, and is an adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name by Deborah Ellis. It was an international production produced in Canada, Ireland, and Luxembourg. The film is a stunning work of animation with poetic and unflinching storytelling by the Irish studio Cartoon Saloon.Parvana is a preteen girl in Afghanistan. After her father is sent to prison by the Taliban, she must become the sole income for her mother, sister, and little brother (while also trying to bring her father back home). She disguises herself as a boy, in her dead brother's clothes, as women are not allowed to leave their home unaccompanied. While trying a series of low-paying jobs, Parvana makes unlikely allies who help her rescue her father from a brutal prison as the country falls into war.Content Warning: violence against womenDiscussion 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
