Event:2015/05/17 CDC Meeting


 * =Planning for Fun Fun Fun Omni (Fun!)= Sunday, May 17, 3 - 5 pm=

Attendees

 * Yar
 * Dusty

I'm working with Tatiana of the NORJC to support/lead a community building circle on May 31. I think we should allocate at least an hour to this activity, but I'm talking with her this week to hammer out the details.
 * Julio's Input From Earlier Today:

Yar had some ideas about doing something different too (fishbowl?) which maybe could be explored as another activity for this event or a future celebration.

Whoever was interested in the May 30 Restorative Justice training by NORJC should have gotten a form in email to RSVP. I'll froward what I have to the folks that I think were going, but let me know if you don't see it.

Agenda

 * What do we need in order to plan for the party?
 * Carol's challenging dominant culture 12 step meetings

Party planning

 * Yar: How much structure is there, has this party taken a shape?
 * Yar will facilitate/curate an on-the-fly open mic
 * Yar thinks playing by ear will be smart. Don't want to waste all the energy potentially redirecting it towards something pre-planned that doesn't do justice to it. But also have planned activities ready.
 * Dusty: Wants to do a "radical imagination" activity which will look like an ongoing table or interactive space throughout the party in the cafe.
 * Yar: NUMBER ONE thing is that a lot of us prepare our emotional reserves for that day, make sure we have energy ready to pay attention to other peoples' needs during the day of.
 * and making sure people know about it
 * Dusty: I will put together a flyer, and I'm very open to suggestions/input from folks.
 * Yar: We should do this as an Omni birthday party. Perhaps a lease-signing part?
 * Dusty: This would be great, and we would have to re-name it or something.

Food

 * potluck, but really reach out to individuals to make sure that food will be made

Sound

 * We need to ensure that the sound system will work, who is a person to get that going?
 * Dusty: going with a P.A. system is going to be best, in the sense that we won't have to deal so much with more complicated sound system.

Carol's challenging dominant culture 12 step meetings

 * Jenny shared and email from Carroll's email in order to establish a weekly 12 step style "recovery from dominant culture" group.
 * We will schedule this at Omni
