Hey ladies! Here's the gist:

  • Help spread the word about the upcoming performance "A Day of Absence: A Satirical Fantasy". Haley will print some more flyers to post around campus.
  • There is a counter protest against the Pro-Life group "40 Days for Life" from Sept. 26 to Nov. 4, I'm e-mailing the info to the group address so it can be forwarded to everyone. Please go if you're interested!
  • We discussed the structure of the meeting and all agree that we need a space to talk about issues and be able to support each other. However, we must make an effort to balance getting things done with meeting the needs of group members.
  • We further discussed the importance of having a "women of color" space where we can have a sense of privacy and comfort. However, since we are a state organization funded by student fees, we cannot turn anyone away based on gender, race, religion, etc. We can tell people to leave if their behaviour makes us uncomfortable, though. A point that was brought up was possibly using a membership process to "regulate" the members who attend meetings. We must brainstorm for ideas to keep our space private and comfortable for all the members.
  • We should work on a statement/paragraph that we can post on the window to complement the idea of privacy. Next meeting we will work on how we want to phrase it.
  • If possible, all members should try to commit to an hour a week in the space. This will help keep it accessible to members, and we want to make it as active as possible to avoid being moved during the CAB renovation. (Haley adds: We're not just worried about keeping the space-- we want to make sure the space is actually USED-- we're doing this for you, because the space is yours. You should use it!) We made a key check out list, so if you couldn't make it today and want to be able to check out a key to the space be sure to sign up.
  • Brainstorm for ideas for events for the coming year. We can do pretty much any kind of workshop, dance events, shows, speakers, etc.
  • Loretta Ross of SisterSong is a good idea. We should start fundraising asap, maybe S&A will help out once we get some money.
  • International Women's Week starts on March 8th, we want it to end on a happy note. Big performance? Oral history monologues are a good idea, we could use excerpts from mother/daughter oral stories that focus on sacrifices made and their impact on the next generation.
