Make It Better Week

[Devin Luxner]

A message from Mary Stanfield, your wonderful Vice President. Well, she's my Vice President. I'm just sharing her with you all.

Begin Message:

Hello everyone,

Next week is "Make It Better" week, and we have a full slate of activities already lined up. But first we need some volunteers to talk about their past bullying experiences at some of the events. We really need people to help bring home the devastating nature of this bullying, or to speak about any time they have been harassed or harmed based on their orientation or gender identity. If you're interested, talk to Devin at today's meeting or email me at stanf...@ou.edu.

For information about that and all other upcoming GLBTF events, visit the calendar here: http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=glbtf%40ou.edu&ctz=America/Chicago.

We need volunteers to help table for "Make It Better" week, passing out information about bullying and the Trevor Project, as well as information about the Gender-neutral Housing proposal. If you'd like to see what we need and sign up to help out, you can visit the volunteer sign-up form here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgxK8zfdBOrgdG84ZmdHSEc3UjdwTkJ1X1lpb3Q0T2c. (And keep checking back for future opportunities.)

Also, this semester, we're aiming to spend more time enjoying and utilizing our lovely office. It has an awesome resource library of queer books and DVDs, incredibly comfortable bean bag chairs and free coffee (as soon as we're sure the coffee machine works ...). So, we want to set a time a day to eat lunch there together every week. If you're interested, you can vote on the Doodle poll to show your availability every week here: http://www.doodle.com/7v3pbn6bf3bvgmcw.

Thanks guys, and enjoy turning the office into our lovely queer home tomorrow!

Mary Stanfield
