Editing revision 8 of Next Meeting

===Agenda Items=== # Status of "Why don't you come to meetings?" report # Supplies replenishment (details below) # Second Sunday Salon report # About Kate Shewan # November: Meet on Nov. 11 or not? # December: Music maybe? ===SUPPLIES=== * We have no larger paper plates, napkins, whitener, ground (drip) coffee, butter knives, display platters (paper.) * We could have used an extension cord. * We 're almost out of paper towels. The large black coffee make did not heat up. Perhaps an inventory is in order before our next meeting. But there was plenty of food for all. It all worked out fine. Anita says she has: some larger paper plates, napkins I think...I can pick up coffee and butter knives and serving platters (the paper ones)oh...and an extension cord..I have one also..I can bring some paper towels Beginning of incipience of start of thoughts about a gentle discussion: Dan would like to not be Chair. We need to think about who will be the next Chair. ===Grant Proposal=== Email from LGBTI Network: From: MacDonald, Maddi C <Maddi.MacDonald@novascotia.ca> Date: Wed, Nov 30, 2016 at 2:10 PM Subject: Age-Friendly Communities Grant To: "elderberries.scotia2@gmail.com" <elderberries.scotia2@gmail.com>, "nsrap@nsrap.ca" <nsrap@nsrap.ca> Cc: "Smith, Allison Z" <Allison.Smith@novascotia.ca> Hey folks, I wanted to make sure you are aware of the Age-Friendly Communities Grant opportunity. If Elderberries has not considered applying, it would be a great chance to receive some funding to support an initiative you might have. Also, I would love to meet with you to discuss opportunities to implement a positive spaces program in some of our muchly in need Nova Scotian nursing homes and continuing care facilities if you are interested. I believe Lynn was in touch with Lezlie Lee Kam when she was in town for Pride. Lezlie had really inspired me with the work being done in Ontario to make safer spaces for LGBTIQ+ elders. I would love to discuss what Elderberries and NSRAP see as the next steps in supporting our aging LGBTIQ+ population here in Nova Scotia. Perhaps there are opportunities to partner on an initiative. All the best. Maddi MacDonald Co-Chair, LGBTI Network
