[Coca] Re: Halloween Condoms

[Rafferty U. Kenney]

Hey Jessica,
   Thank you so much for contributing that to the event. I think it is a great
idea for the general atmosphere and mindset with consent/safe sex particularly
for this event. Indulging in whatever chemicals, sexuality, consent, and
general safety are always issues that we try to address when dealing with this
event, and this helps us a lot. I don't know if it is necessary for the
Sexperts to also carry lube, and might be worried about whether attendees would
misuse it and make a mess. However, it would be cool to have lube at the "Health
and Safety Stations" we are positioning around campus, which will have fresh
water in addition to info and materials you mentioned.
   COCA will fully reimburse all of these expenses. Rachel had given me the
account number 669 with a cost of $130 for 2,000 condoms, which has been
approved but the TOF form has yet to be processed. We can cover additional
expenses for supplies when completing the form, but preferably not over $200.
Thanks again,

--
