People Running the event * Nathan Elling & Dan MacKay * Kitchen Help: [ ____________ ] * Moderator: [ ___________ ] Renée Clark is not available =Place Names Discussion= Defining Moments Canada (DMC) has a project called Proud to Be: Queer Canadian Histories of the 1960s-1970s. They are creating a map of queer spaces across Canada for young people - junior and senior high school I think. Topic: Places, spaces, that were important to the Q community in the 1960s and 1970s. I anticipate inviting about 15 people. We will make it clear that we have limited room and will be creating a specificically diverse room. Invitation list goals: representation from: * Old folk who were there * Diversity: Men, women, drag queens, PoC * Academics * Invitation list is below ===Invitation=== High Tea, Spaces & Places Discussion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are, or you know of someone who has a really good memory for LGBT spaces and places in Halifax and Nova Scotia in the 1970s, please read on. Elderberries is hosting a "high tea" -- a substantial mid afternoon meal -- with a discussion about which spaces and places should get included in a short list to be published in a national LGBT history resource for young people. The event is on November 27th from 2:00 to 4:00 with social time after, in the south end of Halifax. We're tempting you with gourmet food; your chef will be Elderberries member Nathan Elling, former owner of Mana Cuisine in Los Angeles. Nathan worked for 10 years in LA catering large events and private parties. We'll have limited space at the table. If you are, if you know someone with a good memory for places, please contact us or encourage them to. ===Food=== The food is our bait, our reward for participating.
