Discussion

1. Bookings for Outweek

   • Party room and ballroom are still unavailable on weeknights excluding the bash

   • Kendall will try to work something out for bookings

   • Tuesday: need the room for four hours for Positive Space training session

   • YouthCO would also like to collaborate on Outweek

2. Friday’s  beer garden

   • Allen: beer garden has not been promoted enough. Lack of postering

   • Suggestion: start promotions two week in advance

   • Open up communication between social coordinators and publicity coordinator

   • A checklist of tasks for all social events would be very helpful

3. Continuity reports

   • Keep future reports on a Google doc accessible to all exec members

   • Possibly post a simplified version of each position on the website

4. Gay and Lesbian Liberation Front of Africa of Seattle

   • Africa Awareness Iniative, Colour Connected, SJC and Access & Diversity are on board as co-sponsors

   • Next term during Outweek: Thursday night before the bash

   • Access and Diversity is still looking for a venue

   • Selling tickets: proceeds will go to a charity

   • Prices: may consider a sliding scale

5. Outweek

   • Academic Panel: call has gone out, but may have too many applicants within a two hour limit. Posters can be displayed by anyone who was unable to present during the academic panel at the wine and cheese.

   • Tickets: physical tickets should be sold for the entire month of January by all exec members. Physical tickets will give us a more accurate headcount. Possibly have a joint ticket booklet for both the wine and cheese and bash for $12.

   • $8 early tickets. $10 the night of the bash.

   • Timeline: helpful to have a timeline of what tasks should be finished by when to keep us on track.

   • Promotions: separate posters, emails and event promotion for the entire week. The full program will also be in the Pride Ubyssey edition.

   • AMS Catering: Allen is able to take care of catering and negotiate a discount. Nabil can organize the rest of the bash. Will consider paying Angie to make desserts for the bash.

   • Wine and Cheese: cash bar. Tickets for $5 including one free drink. All-ages event will happen at the same time as the wine and cheese ($100 for pizza).

   • Donations:Martina has a list of donors who might be interested in donating prizes. Also looking for water bottle donations.

   • Budget: at least $3000.

   • Final notes: a local film will be proposed for the film viewing. Outweek will have a 20’s style theme/Moulin Rouge, but it’s still in the brainstorming stage. Feedback would be appreciated!
