In attendance: Bailey, Brandon (moderator), Jackson (secretary), Marc, Ty, Will
Start time: 7:10 PM
1. Upcoming Event – Love Your Library is this Saturday. We’ll meet here early on Saturday morning to straighten up the room.
2. Library Donation – We got three new books for our library. One was from Jackson, one was from Dance, and one was from the Hargesheimers. Thanks, y’all.
3. Toner – Jackson got a toner cartridge in the mail. It was a generic one instead of the name-brand one he ordered, but he got a refund so maybe we’ll use it anyways as long as it doesn’t damage this copier.
4. Web Advertising – We had some much-needed work time on getting our September movie and the gardening day onto Facebook and our website.
5. Free School – Bailey updated on us on the state of the new Lincoln Free School. We are moving forward with our gardening day on October 5th as a Free School workshop. Bailey wants help from Marc on designing a flier.
6. Ferguson Movie – Jackson has been in contact with the folks touring with the Ferguson documentary. Their preferences align almost exactly with our standard movie night format: free admission, discussion afterwards. They would appreciate donations to offset their travel costs, and they have requested a place to stay the night. We will continue to consider our options on the latter request, but we’re sure we can figure something out. We are moving ahead with our plans to do the showing here on Monday, October 7th in place of our weekly meeting.
7. Red State – We are only a few weeks away from the first Red State 3 meeting! Jackson wants everyone to start thinking about that, and continue work on recruiting more new blood into building the next conference. Also, Marc has prepared a draft for an apology letter for Michelle at the Church and we took a few minutes to review that and discuss our next steps on that.
