2018-07-22 Elderberries Salon

This page is for planning the 2018 Elderberries Salon during Pride Week

Here are several variants of the original proposal

Planning

• Catering: we will want at least one foody person on deck at all times
  • Idea 1: we continuously order in from a nearby restaurant (e.g. Backpacker's.) Will require planning and someone to go get the food.
  • Idea 2: We buy boxes of frozen hors d'ouvres and the volunteer just continuously heats and serves 'em.
• Liquor License
  • It would be great if we could get a special event permit and
    • get someone else (e.g. Manna, Youth Project, I dunno) to sell booze for cheap or
    • get an Elderberries member to staff the bar and get the $$ for ourselves
• Can we get Chris Aucoin's History Display
• Brainstorm on room layout. The model: imagine a teepee: elders together, a "fire" in the middle, people listening on the other side of the fire.
• Record the stories for posterity
• Do we need bridge funding?
• Get a sample Safe Spaces document from Adam
• Ditto Active Listener training powerpoint
