Meeting Update

Hey GSAers!

We had a meeting tonight. A quick summary:

-There will be a bake sale in the library tomorrow to raise funds for the Gay Gala to be held sometime in the future.
-The party to be held with Rising Suns is in a holding pattern, but we'll be posting details as soon as we have them.
-The possibility of Airband has come up. If you're interested, please contact Ryan because we want to put on a serious performance if we're going to do one. We're thinking about ten people, at least.
-Anyone interested in an L Word Series Finale study break? Maybe a Milk showing?
-National Day of Silence is coming! We're thinking of charging $2 for tshirts. Any objections? In addition to a table outside of the future after Spring Break, we'll have a sign-up sheet at fundraising events for the gala.
-Greg Weight is really encouraging us to participate in COSA. We welcome any suggestions. Maybe a collaborative piece of art? Short book of literature/articles, etc? Flash mob? Maybe....working on the website?
-Last but not least, Robert has decided he is going to help out with the news blogging. Woo hoo for Robert! Look for a post from him soon.


And before I forget, the GSA would like to send an as-of-yet informal thank you for Dr. Volkmer and Jennifer Boylan for an inspiring and entertaining talk on February13th. If you missed it, you should be disappointed. Jennifer Boylan is a transgendered author, speaker and professor who lent us some of her wisdom and experience on Friday. We infinitely appreciate the time she took to speak to us, and Dr. Volkmer for having her- it is not very often that we not only get an excellent speaker on her own merits, but also a positive LGBTQA role model. Thank you very much!

More news when pledging is over, as this webmaster is currently consumed by NME educator activities as part of her quest to promote gay-friendly life on campus, especially in the Greek community. Every little bit helps, right?

-Emily, Treasurer/Webmaster
