• Elderberries Q Book Fundraiser?

Time of the event

• My original plan: 1 - 4
• Erick: yar 1-4
• Richard: earlier is better - 12-3, 12-4.

Prices

• Lynn: Soft cover 50¢, hard cover 1$, magazine 50¢, we don't have coins so you have to buy two
• Erick: I personally think it should be $1 for softcover and $2 for hardcover
• We could also mark down the price as the afternoon goes on, until at 4:00 they are all free.
  • Erick: Not a great idea

Is there any reason NOT to have price tags on some books?

Do we want a coffee & Sit down and chat area?

• Dan says, "Sure if someone volunteers to bring coffee, milk, sugar & make the coffee. I have a MOUNTAIN of styrofoam cups."
• Need volunteers for coffee duty

Announcement 1

Start gathering up LGBT books you want to get rid of!

Later in January, the Elderberries will be running a Q Book Exchange Fund Raiser Flea Market. Here’s how it will work:

• You donate 2SLGBTQ++ books
• You (and everyone) will be invited to a flea market on a Sunday afternoon, to buy books very cheaply
• Proceeds go to the Elderberries & Radstorm
• Porn? Sure, bring porn. It’ll go on its own table.
