2021-04-15 Meeting

Present: Lynn Murphy, Anita Martinez, Allison Brewer, Barend Kamperman (notes)

Monthly salons:

• We decided to do the split Salon, to be followed by a joint Salon
• The small women's meeting decided on May for our first Salon - not sure whether our special event has become solid yet. We need to have someone trained to host a Zoom, as Dan presumably can't do both at once. I think we ought to have our usual mixed Salon Sunday, so we can prepare the members for the new format.

I think we should have separate Salons in May. That'll give us time to plan both. So, this Sunday how many want to have a joint Salon this weekend? Any topics in mind?

Not So Secret March, Saturday, July 17:

• We decided to ask Anne Bishop to do a presentation at Pride for us about to make a presentation about writing a diary, memoir, or personal history, drawing on what she has learned from the autobiographical book she is currently working on. The idea is that lesbian elders' own stories can be worth-while archival contributions to the history of our community, even if they are not aimed at publication.
• We agreed we should pay her and for 2 sign interpreters for our PRIDE March and Anne's talk.
• We will follow last year's March route.
• There will be 4 demands: At point HIV testing..,(These details are in my email.)
• We want to use the wording of the 3rd draft of last year's demands.
• No Grand Marshal or spokesman was decided on there.
