Present: Norval, Heather, Anita, Lynn, Dan (notes)
Minutes of the last meeting: not available. Probably only three people were there and there was no quorum.
Lynn and Dan and Jim Morrison, a prof from St Mary's presented to about forty people about the importance of preserving history.
Pennants: we made about a hundred, and almost all were sold; a few people have a little stash of them. Some "seconds" got made into a tablecloth for the picnic.
Brochures: 250 were printed and lots are still available for events.
Yesterday's event: 24 people showed up at about 2:00pm, including several new people. We commandeered the Gazebo at the Dingle Park but then got booted out an hour later by a Buddhist Wedding. Luckily that fit with the progress of the meal and we re-encamped out onto the grass for another couple of hours and bonded over cornbread. Most people packed up around 5:00pm. We got several emails thanking us for hosting the event.
Company House: cost model confirmed - we could lose money.
Anita will create the cards.
The LGBT Anglican group has asked if we can move our event from the 3rd to 4th Sunday of the month so there's no conflict there.
September 25th: Nick will talk about photography with the title, "Falling In Love With Pictures", at Spencer House.
WHO WILL BOOK SPENCER HOUSE??
September 16-17-18: Doctors Without Borders are setting up a refugee camp in Halifax. We'll invite the membership to go to see it together.
October 23rd: Nadine Lapierre talks about her book and being an author.
November 27th: Recipe Exchange. Theme "Cooking For One Or Two On A Budget." Dan will create a recipe book for all recipes submitted one week before the event.
Christmas: not discussed.
Reclaim The Night: It's a march in October against violence
Fund Raising Dance: DAN will ask Wolf if he'd do it, and how much he would charge.
ANITA will ask Veith House and find out if it's available, and when, say, 7-11 on a Saturday evening. And she will ask whether alcohol is allowed on site.
NSRAP is setting up an Elders Issues Committee for political stuff.
Next meeting: Septembre 26th at Lynn's Place.
Meeting adjourned at 8:30. Thanks all!
