Meeting Notes, Tuesday October 6

Hi friends,

This past week saw us with a club meeting then at a PFLAG Presentation.Tuesday's club meeting had a very good turn-out of us as we openly discussed that we would like our club's message for this year to be about all-inclusiveness. That is, bringing the gay, straight, & otherwise all together as one common community. Big plans are already beginning for Winter quarter's Club Kick-off to share this message. For Fall quarter's Club Kick-off we spent some meeting time brainstorming with poster paper & art supplies all while listening to Ramiro's favorite music (YMCA) on the boom box.

Friday saw just a couple of us at the annual PFLAG Event with kudos to our guest speaker, Laurel who shared her personal story with us as well as informed us about State Referendum 71 to be voted on in November.

Check out the Ebb-tide news-paper that is now out for a full size artical on the Club Kick-off, including a short blurb about Project Pride Club.

On another note, we received email from alumni member, Elaine ... since you are freshly updating your calendar, I wanted to discuss with you your plans, if any, for the November 20th Transgender Day of Remembrance. Please let me know if you have something scheduled, or want to know more about what Ingersoll Gender Center is doing. You can reach me at elayne@ingersollcenter.org
Best, Elayne Wylie Ingersoll Gender Center Outreach Coordinator

And club member Jesse passes this important community word to us: in Seattle Times there was a big article about Ref 71. Here is a link to it: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2009996262_ref71primer04m.html

Thank you Jesse & Elaine! And thank you Ramiro & Amy for stepping out & forward as our new club officers. Keep up the good work!
