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?

It's the most wonderful time of the year! That's right, the Black Cat House's annual yard sale fundraiser is back!

The sale goes on Friday, May 10th, 8 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday, May 11th, 8 AM to 2 PM. This is the only time all year that we ask you for financial aid. All proceeds from the sale go towards printing costs, website hosting, new books for the lending library, covering expenses for traveling speakers, and the other ways that we support the community.

We will start accepting donations on April 22nd. If you're spring cleaning, keep us in mind and give us your neat-but-unwanted things! You'll be giving them a new home, and supporting us with the proceeds from the sale. We'll update this event as it draws near with a list of what we'll have for sale!

Important note: we do NOT take clothing donations for the sale. We would be happy to direct you to community organizations that may accept used clothing donations.

Our May movie will be the 2014 biopic Cesar Chavez. It stars Michael Peña as the legendary labor organizer, and was directed by Diego Luna. The film dramatizes Chavez's efforts to form the United Farm Workers and organize predominantly Chicano farm workers in California during the 1960s and '70s. 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.
