2019-09-10 Meeting

Present: Barend (Chair), Pauline, Mike, Richard, Dan (notes), Ann

Speakers Bureau: We'll try to reboot our relationship with the GSAs. In the meantime if anyone else knows of a group that would like to hear from us, let's do it.

Women's Event: The men on the board should *not* organize this. We should ask people what they'd like.

PAULINE will compose an email to members asking what they'd like to do. Possible: coffee at the Glitter Bean

DAN will add Pauline to the elderberries-all permission list.

Programming:

• October: Plan A: Plan B: Round Robin on topics for the months ahead.
• November: Dan talking about the Archives Project
• December: Maybe 3-4 people from the Gay Men's Choir leading us in carols. White Elephant Gift Exchange.
• January: round table of (cheerful!) stories from our romantic pasts.

Fund Raising

• Auction: some time in the new year, maybe February or March.
• 50/50: MIKE and RICHARD will try it out
• Purpose: travelling expenses to the GSA events. An event outside of Halifax. It's helpful to be able to tell people what the money is being collected for.

1. Feedback from our Pride Salon at the Unitarian church.
2. Comments. Anything you'd like to discuss/talk through.
