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?

How do our ancestral cultures, and the authoritarian theft and use of them, affect our modern identities?

The Black Cat House is pleased to announce a community discussion featuring our special guest Fredrik Gregorius, a Swedish intellectual specializing in comparative religions and ancient Norse culture. Join us for this unique opportunity to ask Fredrik your questions about racism in Europe, the history of symbols like the swastika, modern-day White supremacist organizations, and what we can do to turn back the rising tide of cultural appropriation and hate spreading across the West.

What is Racial Odinism? What happened to the ancient belief systems of European cultures like the Norse? Were they racist to begin with, or were they transformed by Nazi Party agendas and modern White nationalist propaganda? Is there still a useful and good pre-Christian European culture buried beneath years of fascist adaptation? Does this culture exist in America, or did it ever?

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.
