Unison Festival Involvement

• From May 18th to the 21st Queer Choirs from all over will be in Halifax's downtown. We can decide what we want to do to make ourselves known and help out. The schedule is already being built so we should decide now what we want to do.

REF: Radstorm charge. We already decided to pay Radstorm 30% of donations/income for each use of their space.

REF: $76.00 for Other Queer Group(s) We could donate the funds to Rainbow Refugees or McPhee House in Dartmouth. McPhee House is an active effective outreach to queer youth. They organised the Youth & Elders Storytelling last Pride.

I hope this clears things up. See you Thursday 6:30 PM.
