Hey everyone!<br>
<br>
This weekend is the annual <a
href="https://www.facebook.com/events/226955360761807/">Five-College
Queer Gender & Sexuality Conference!</a><br>
So obviously, there's so way that anything we held this Friday could
compete with that<br>
<br>
<u><i><b>BUT<br>
<br>
The Group Re-Recognition deadline is in 10 days!<br>
<br>
</b></i></u>So if we don't have an organizing meeting this week,
then the deadline would come before our next meeting! <i>And we
would lose recognition status as a group! </i><i><br>
</i><br>
If we have our meeting at the regular 3:30 time then that's right in
the middle of querconf workshop session 2. And that's kinda an
annoying time, and it might run into Darkmatter which is like, an
important part of QueerConf that I don't want to make people miss. I
understand not everyone is going to be at queer conference but I
know that a lot of people will be and I want to try and accommodate
as many people as possible. <br>
<br>
So here's my proposal: the dinner at queerconf is also pizza, and is
also ~5pm. So how about we have our organizing meeting during dinner
at QueerConf? The big agenda item is finalizing our mission
statement (which isn't necessarily permanent) and choosing someone
to put their name down as a signer for next semester to replace
Danny (this person would have to attend signer seminar next
semester, but wouldn't necessarily have to actually be a signer if
we can find someone else to do it between now and Fall) This will
allow us to fill out the re-recognition form and remain a student
group next semester. It will also change our name officially from
Trans Student Alliance to Gender-Identity Resource Network. <br>
<br>
<i>So if you're for having our meeting this week someone in FPH
during dinner at QueerConf, reply to this email with Aye, if
you're against it, reply to this email with Nay.</i> (And send yr
reply to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jci12@hampshire.edu">jci12@hampshire.edu</a>, not <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tsa@lists.hampshire.edu">tsa@lists.hampshire.edu</a>, so you
don't bother everyone on the listserv). <br>
<br>
<br>
Also, if you want to be a signer next semester <b>let me know!<br>
</b>Signers handle paperwork and finances, and have made a
commitment to attend organizational meeting and doing organizing
work. They are also the point of contact with the administration. It
doesn't mean you have to necessarily be a leader-type or anything
like that. It just means you have to be reliable and friendly with
staffpeoples (which isn't hard, because they're all pretty friendly
people)<br>
<br>
<br>
tl;dr: response with "aye" if you want to have an organizing meeting
during dinner at queer conf in FPH somewhere, response with "nay" if
against that idea. Consider being a signer and let me know if you
want to volunteer (possibly via gif of Katniss)<br>
