Editing revision 1 of 2022 Pride CEFP Proposal

There are two proposals here * One for auxiliary food and drink etc. for the Elders Hangout and * One for a historian to write the story of the inception of GAE. ---- Name: Elders Hangout: Auxiliary Expenses for 50th Anniversary of GAE I am submitting two interrelated proposals. The first is for auxiliary expenses for the Elders Hangout to make it into a celebration of the 50th anniversary of GAE, and the second is for the research and writing of a very short description of the creation of GAE in 1971 - 1972. This is the proposal for the auxiliary expenses to make the Elders Hangout event into a GAE Reunion / 50th Anniversary celebration. Partner Organizations: the Elderberries + Wayves Magazine * Travel expenses for community pioneers who live out of town. * Extra catering * Honoraria for speakers * Possibly arranging a bar for the event, the proceeds will go to a charity, possibly MacPhee Center / Youth Project. See original proposal [[2018 Pride CEFP Proposal]] * A large space, say, the floor part of the big auditorium at the library, or maybe the much smaller Bus Stop Theatre or ex Company House * Finger food and refreshments at a table * Maybe a bar, proceeds going to the Youth Project * Maybe Chris Aucoin’s history exhibit set up on a table in one corner * A few things to sell - maybe bound copies of Scott MacNeil & Reg Giles’ story cycles, mugs, Robin’s This Way Out, or other stuff * Reading of chunks from Reg Giles' and Scott MacNeil's pieces with q&a after. * Colouring book sheets and pencils & crayons out, with images from lgbt halifax. * Computer with big screen and a slideshow of old photos, with two Elders to narrate and answer questions. Budget * $300 catering * $400 travel expenses for out-of-town pioneers * $200 honoraria * $200 tours (travel + refreshments) for the Green Lantern Building and Turret Building if possible. * (2-300 contributed by Elderberries) * Total $900 requested from Pride ===Pride Questions=== ''Title'' GAE 50th Anniversary Reunion (an enhanced Elders Hangout event) ''In 150 words or less, please summarize your event'' Anytime during a four-hour window, drop in, grab some food and a beverage, sit down and participate in some storytelling of Halifax's rich queer history. There will be a "show" part of the tent and a "hangout" part of the tent. Meet with some of the veterans who worked hard to make Halifax a Pride-ful place, and AUA -- ask us anything about what it was like, what it felt like, how we lived and loved and worked to change the world and change Halifax. We'll have a history display up, photos flashing by on a screen that our elders can talk about, and perhaps a Human Library where you can talk one-on-one with someone who had a hand in creating the community that you now enjoy. Or, you can just sit back and listen to the old-timers tell stories about the good, and bad, old days, around a big table. ''In 150 words or less, please summarize your reasons for hosting this event'' We've been planning this event for several years, and it's time to do it. We want to provide the opportunity for youth and elders to connect, and for people to share stories from times when it hasn't always been like this. The Elderberries has a formidable resource of storytellers who regularly volunteer to do this type of presentation so it is definitely in our wheelhouse. ===Pride Questions 2=== ''Print Description'' Drop in for refreshments and storytelling of Halifax's rich queer history by veterans who worked hard to make Halifax a Pride-ful place. Ask Us Anything about how we lived and loved and worked to change the world. ''Online Description'' Drop in for refreshments and storytelling of Halifax's rich queer history. Meet some warriors who worked hard to make Halifax a Pride-ful place, and Ask Us Anything about what it was like, what it felt like, how we lived and loved and worked to change the world. We'll have a slideshow that our elders can talk about, and perhaps a Human Library where you can talk one-on-one with someone who had a hand in creating the community that you now enjoy. Or, you can just sit back and listen to the old-timers tell stories about the good, and bad, old days, around a big table.
