1. Event Reviews – We had our “What is Communism?” discussion on January 9th. The turnout was decent, and the conversation was very good. We had our Star Trek VI movie night last Saturday night. Turnout was a bit disappointing, but the discussion afterward was still very good.

2. Walk For Life Protest Update – We discussed some of the logistics of the upcoming protest, particularly the childcare and confirming the sign-making party. We agree that we’ll provide snacks for the Friday night sign-making party, and doughnuts for the Saturday morning gathering.

3. February Events – We spent some time making Facebook events for next month’s events.

Meeting adjourned: 8:20 PM

In attendance: Jackson (moderator), Ty (secretary)

Start time: 7:03 PM

1.Upcoming Events: We have a What is… Communism discussion on Saturday. We came up with a list of subjects that we could bring up to stir discussion. We’ll do a little research into these to make sure we’re prepared. Other than that, we need to finish cleaning the public space.

2.Next Week: There will be a We Are Vital meeting next week during our usual meeting time. Since things have been slow on our end, we decided to cancel our weekly meeting. Everything is pretty much prepped for our movie night, so it’s okay.

Meeting adjourned: 7:23 PM

In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Ty (moderator)

Start time: 7:00 PM

1. Protest – Jackson has been notified of a protest planned for Donald Trump’s campaign appearance in Council Bluffs tomorrow. We’d be interested in attending, but we’ll have to see if we can find a ride up there. Jackson has shared the event on our Facebook page
2. Facebook Events – Jackson still needs to finish the Facebook events for our January events. He will get on that as soon as possible.

Meeting adjourned: 7:45 PM

In attendance: Jackson (moderator), Ty (secretary)

Start time: 7:00 PM

1) Event Review – We had LSH’s Winter Solstice Party. We got less attendance than expected. Jackson still needs to talk about Brian about reimbursement for the food and updates on the status of the LSH account.

2) Treasury – It’s been a while since we’ve had a treasury update in the minutes, so Ty inquired. Jackson said that the treasury is currently up to date in the current document for it.

3) Graphics – Ty had some ideas for buttons and patches that he wanted to pitch. But it requires a bit more graphical expertise than what either he or Jackson has. He’ll write up a request and see if we can get some interest on social media for volunteers.

4) January Events – January Facebook events need to get up! We worked on that for the rest of the time.

Meeting adjourned: 7:30 PM

In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Ty (moderator)

Start time: 7:01 PM

1. Event Review – We had the LSH meeting here on Thursday. We got to chat with a couple of young atheists from UNL campus who were having trouble finding freethought groups there. Ty found some info on the campus humanist group SHUNL and emailed it to them tonight.

2. Upcoming Event – Our Winter Solstice party is coming up on Saturday night. We talked a little bit about what kind of food and other prep we need to do, but we didn’t make firm plans because we’re still a bit unsure about the turnout.

Meeting adjourned: 7:45 PM

In attendance: Jackson (moderator), Ty (secretary)

Start time: 7:00 PM

1. Event Review/Reimbursement: We showed No Woman, No Cry on Saturday. We had to resort to renting the movie off Amazon, which was 1.99. Ty was approved for reimbursement of this cost. While it was an interesting discussion, we probably won’t show it again. We need to be more mindful about scheduling though, because SP CE was doing an event at the same time.

2. Upcoming Event: Lincoln Secular Humanists will be having their meeting here on Thursday. Since we don’t have much on the agenda, we’ll set up the room for this event tonight.

Meeting adjourned: 7:10 PM

In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Ty (moderator)
Start time: 7:05 PM

1. Event Review – We had a few people show up for our trans rights event, and it was a very energetic discussion between the visitors and the panelists!  It was a lot of fun.

2. Button Stickers – Ty’s getting them made and printed!  We can slap them on the back of our stickers now.

3. Calendar Distribution – Downtown is done.  South Street needs to be done though.

Because we didn’t have much else to talk about, we filed books into the library for the rest of the time.

Meeting adjourned: 8:30 PM

1. Upcoming Event – We have our Transgender discussion coming up on Saturday. Ty has secured two other panelists for the event, and has done some promotion. We seem to be ready.

In Attendance: Jackson (moderator), Ty (secretary)
Start time: 7:00 PM

1. Event Review: We watched Reds, but it was just us. Enjoyable film though! We need to get Facebook events up sooner.

2. Web Presence: The Tumblr has been tanked. We don’t really have the time to maintain it, and it’s not really the right medium for what we’re trying to do. Ty wants to put more focus into the Twitter account. Our Facebook posting has increased, but we haven’t really put up the engaging posts we have wanted to yet, so that still needs to be something to work on.
