In attendance: Jackson, Wyatt, Conner, Marc (secretary)
Meeting Start: 7:40 PM
Note: There will be no planning meeting on July 4th, 2022.
Event Review: Pride (2014)
- We showed Pride (2014) on the 25th. Folks who attended seemed to enjoy the movie and we had OK turnout. We figure it will be an uphill climb to get people to attend in-person events again due to COVID concerns.
- For future events, we can plan on putting COVID safety requirements (masks) near the top of the event description, so it’s clear that we’re taking precautions.
Upcoming Event: Abortion Open Discussion
- Ty wrote up the event description draft; Jackson will edit it. The event posting should be live soon.
- We anticipate that attendees may still be in a reaction/venting mode during the event. We want to make sure to make space for that during the event, but also provide a space for tangible takeaway.
- Conner offered to provide the Powerpoint slides for a past event he attended, which could be used to inform the discussion.
- During the discussion, we want to make sure to talk about a few elements: some historical context as well as the failure of the Democratic party to do anything meaningful to protect abortion access.
New Projector
- We used the new projector for the first time on Saturday for the Pride showing. The picture looks great, but the HDMI ports are dead. Other connectors/ports work decently, but since the HDMI port was the whole reason we upgraded, we need to get it repaired.
- Jackson will contact repair shops to see if they can fix the HDMI port. Marc has offered to transport the projector wherever it needs to go.
OutNebraska Event
- Aryn reached out to us regarding hosting an event later this year, August at the earliest. We will be able to host, though we are anticipating that the 1st half of September will work best since August is so busy.
- We will include the OutNebraska event in our Fall calendar when we discuss it in the coming weeks.
Accessibility
- The living room, entry way, ramp, and driveway have been cleaned up and are more accessible now.
- We still need to improve the threshold between the porch and front door, but this may be part of a larger project that we hope to get started on in Fall.
Tabled: Further accessibility discussion (furniture), library donations, YouTube video tour
