Discussion

  • There is a hacky solution for the calendar issues currenting being implemented by Matt this week. Thanks Matt!
  • The Community Democracy Project would like to change their weekly meetings to Sunday evenings in the basement (previously Tuesdays). They are contributing $50/month. Any objections? seems fine
  • Bread and Puppet - Matt has been talking to them about a performance here. Gave lots of info. Matt was waiting to hear, but they never responded and he just contacted them again. SInce talking they have set up a whole west coast tour. Now are asking to do something here October 6th in the Ballroom. Matt asked them (Wendy) to fill out a request but they haven't yet. Wendy asked if we could help pay for them, but Matt clear they have to give us money. Matt will respond and send her the link to the request form, tell her that we are setting aside the 6th for them, but she has to submit the request form by a certain date or we cant hold it any longer.
  • Libbie - We should change the acknowledgement email for requests to say we will respond after the second Sunday of the month.

    • relevant: Ed is hosting a film and discussion session about white supremacy & white privilege on the 27th, 5-7pm, though reading his post it seems he thinks there's an open circle meetup that day. maybe can connect him w/ libbie?
