Q&A Minutes 11-3-10
Brad Johnson
Alright, first thing I’d like to throw out there is that as
mentioned last week, our Hamburger Mary’s fundraiser is set in stone to happen
the 29th of December. We currently have a number of donated prizes
and are willing to accept more. The more valuable the prizes the more likely
people are willing to spend big bucks to win them. Our humble president, CJ,
has also written up some letters that have been used to request donations to
certain businesses for our group. If there are any places that you know of that
may be willing to donate to our group, send word to CJ and he’ll hook you up
with a letter.
A few other smaller topics were thrown in such as the idea
of a possible winter/holiday/something get together being thrown together. It
sounds at the moment like everyone is supportive of the idea and it will develop
over time. We are thinking of holding the even on the 5th of
December. CJ brought up this week an interesting little bit of info.
From what I gathered he and….people *shrugs* =P brought to the higher ups of
JCCC a presentation more or less in favor of granting equal rights among
transgendered employees. Do realize that LGB members are included already, transgender
members are not. At this time they higher ups are….thinking….but we are all
hopeful.
Ah yes, UCM (University of Central Missouri) is planning an event this upcoming Wednesday from 10 to 2 pm in response to some vandalism done to a float for an event that by school standards is equivalent of bullying. Sadly little was done by anyone in the authority to do a whole lot so they are looking for support of surrounding LGBT organizations/clubs in halting such bully-like actions. Anyone who would like to go is free to start or look for a discussion about traveling together out to wherever in Missouri it is =P The plan that was discussed in the meeting was to get there around 10 or so and leave a little after noon to get back to JCCC for the meeting.
The documentary “Bully” has now become available to the school (mostly for us) and will be playing instead of the meeting this Wednesday. There will be showings (if I heard right) at 10, 12, 2, 4 and 7 pm in the Craig Auditorium. So…be there or be squ-ga-bi-tran-les-…..just go…you too allies! X3
Ok! Two more things….cause I’m getting’ bored here =P We had ourselves a quick little election today for a new Treasure. Skipping all whatever details, the resulting winner was Jerome by one vote. Yaaaaay…heh..
Lastly, after everything, we had a few gentlemen who had been sitting patiently in our meeting who helped those who wanted to participate in a “It gets better” video. If you don’t know what these videos are, just search “It gets better” on youtube. There are many out there that tell the many bullied LGBT students that school years aren’t the only years and there is life yet to live.
Oooooook…I think I’m done now, g’night everyone.

Hello all and welcome back to the minutes. For any of you who hadn’t realized, our last Wednesday Q&A meeting was replaced by a showing of the documentary “Bully”. I hope you were able to see it and were moved in some fashion as I was. Oh well, putting all that aside I shall get on with this week’s sweet and simple minute break down.Alrighty, since all ya fools can’t make the meeting you missed out on grabbing a little dead tree in the shape of a small rectangle. This dead little tree now cries because it died for you and didn’t even get read….a shame….So yeah, it was just a list of the topics.
The first item on it was a little bit of information about where we are on the Hamburger Mary’s prize collection. Currently we have 10 items from LUSH, Two $5 gift cards from Prospero’s on 39th, a $10 gift card from Arizona Trading Company, a basket from White Light on 39th, and a hand tie rainbow blanket. We’re still looking for more donations ^_^
Transgender Day of Remembrance was next on the list. We have a couple members in our group who fall into this category and it is our opportunity to help support them =D From what I gathered there is a UMKC event that was stressed in particular.
If anyone else has an places that will be hosting an event I implore you to share.
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNY WAAAAR! *clashes swords*
*copy paste* We are at war! We need to collect more pennies
than other clubs and organizations on capus so that we can win the group some
free pizza! The best part? Student senate president, Corey Paris, will deliver
the pizza in a delivery boy outfit!!! So, collect all those pennies lying around,
bring them to COM 309 and put them in the Queers and Allies bag! So yeah, bring your pennies to the CSI, drop em in our bag.
The contest ends Tuesday at 5pm (if I heard right). So, if you’d like to
contribute bring your unused pennies to the CSI and toss them into the bag or
leave whatever money you’d like to contribute in the Q&A storage
compartment in the CSI, we will convert your donation to pennies for you =D
*REMEMBER! Anything other than pennies counts as negative points. You CAN sabotage other clubs bags with negative points.The rest of the meeting time was spent dealing with issues that many of you know about. If you don’t know what I mean then please discuss privately with a member…
Alrighty! That’s all folks….shoo….scat! I’m done! *flees*
