In Attendance: Jackson, Marc (secretary), Ty, Connor, Wyatt
Meeting Start: 7:40 PM
Event Review: Urban Foraging
- A couple of new faces showed up for the urban foraging event on Saturday, and it seemed like folks were interested in the topic and learning! Wyatt enjoyed giving the workshop.
Upcoming Events: Workshop with OutNebraska, the Color of Care movie night
- This Thursday (9/15) will be our workshop with OutNebraska on talking to family, friends, and neighbors about LGBTQ+ issues.
- We checked with our contact to make sure we had all the equipment necessary for the event; we’ll wait to hear back. Otherwise, we’re ready to go for a conversation.
- For the Color of Care movie night, we need to get the projector in working order.
Ongoing Projector Issues
- Marc and Ty will take the projector to the Game Room to ask about repairing it. We have sufficient funds in the treasury and agreed to try this route to see if the HDMI port can be repaired.
- Marc and Ty left with the projector tonight.
Site Updates
- The calendar plugin is fixed; full event pages now load properly.
- Marc is also still working on the updated site design. He will show other members the changes soon and ask for feedback then.
Calendar Distro
- There are still a few places left to place calendars. Jackson took care of the lion’s share of calendar distribution over the past week or so.
The Box!
- Wyatt installed a box on the corner of the Black Cat House lot (next to the sidewalk), which we will likely use as a community bulletin board and possibly zine/food distribution. There are still a few aspects of the box that need to be adjusted, namely making sure it’s watertight and installing a corkboard (or something similar) on the back so calendars can be more easily posted.
- We discussed also allowing/encouraging other like-minded groups to post their events in the new bulletin board.
- Right now, it might not be an appropriate spot to distribute books. However, we still have a little free library box that we could install next to it later, which is more watertight.
Donations
- We have a house megaphone now, which is owned by one of our friends but being stored at BCH. We also have a number of new books for the library.
DIO Fest
- Marc submitted running the zine-making workshop at DIO Fest this year. Wyatt also submitted two workshops: how to build a rainwater-collecting barrel array, and how to change a tire. We’re looking forward to the event!
