Elderberries Library: 2020-01-14 Meeting

Present: Barend (chair), Pauline, Richard, Mike Sangster, Dan (notes)

We currently have $703.00. Collection from the last Salon was $21.60.

Several board members will be attending Ann's funeral on Tuesday.

BAREND will sign a sympathy card for the rest.

BAREND will ask for suggestions brainstorming. Offical 10th anniversary gift: aluminum

Harbour Queen or Sylva Tour
Minivan out to Peggy's Cove
A Dance
Theme Up Pride 10th Anniversary Elder Hop
Winery Tour
Tour to Annapolis Royal (2h drive.)
What location within HRM is so connected with Gay men's history as Citadel Hill? How about some kind of tour of the Hill, with a Tea on the premises (or outside on the grass, weather permitting)?
Planting of an Elderberry Tree on some suitable location? (Not the Hill, of course, which I think is a federal park.) We could then in future years gather round it singing songs of praise to the Elderberry Mother!

We're still looking for a coordinator for this.

How/who and when?

Pauline suggested a couple times a year.

We'd need someone to sell the tickets - until we have them, there's not much point talking about it.

DAN will write an enthusiastic letter to the members asking them to nominate themselves - including a description of the usual tasks.
