Hey, it's a meeting week!!!

So this week was GOING to be empty, with nothing to do. COULD WE STAND FOR THAT?

Uh, NO!!

So thanks to Manda, and us asking, of course, we now have stuff this week!!!

Tuesday, we'll be working on vamping up everyone's MySpace pages. So if you have a laptop, bring it, or else you'll have to wait for help.

Thursday we don't currently have an actual meeting planned, but we'll still get together. So Tuesday we'll talk about what we should do on Thursday.

See ya then!!! ~Kat

DDR! On Thursday the 7th, AT FIVE (pm of course), we have the awesome game Dance Dance Revolution at the library. Come play, and bring your friends, so you can kick their butt at it!! *cheers in the silence* No? Okay. Well, just come, and have fun getting tired. And we'll have color this time, cause I'm gonna bring the connector for my PS2. Yay!

So come to the library this week!!!

Yay!!!

Notice to some of my friends (yes I am USING this blog for my own evil purposes)

IF, I repeat- IF anyone was planning on getting me something for my birthday (it's okay if you weren't, I'm just spreading the word, of course), and you don't know what to get me, all I want is gift cards to Barnes and Noble. Seriously. That is what would make me happiest. =) Thankies. P.S. I may not be coming to Purrlers- my mom is thinking she's getting out of the hospital on Tuesday, but I WILL be at TAC on Thursday! -Michelle

[edit, 8:09 pm]

I am rapidly becoming obsessed with some very cool Shojo Beat Mangas, and I was wondering if manga fell under the 'Anime Addicts' category... If it doesn't, there should totally be a club at Trails West devoted to manga. That may just be MY opinion, but I'm SURE Danielle and Celia would back me up on this (and Kevin, too, but he lives three hours away)- Jake, maybe, even. So can I, like, start a petition or something?? lol

http://www.shojobeat.com/mangaanimeclub/ Please, Amanda go there if you haven't been already!

no meetings...

Okay people, there are officially NO meetings this week. *heart attack* As such, I think that we should try and make our next meeting something extra special to make for our lack of fun-ness. If anyone else agrees, say "I" and we can figure out something to do. Personally, I think it'd be cool if we could all bring some kind of food to the meeting. Does that sound cool or competely lame?

GSA!!

Today for our meeting, we had a guest come from Downtown, by the name of Helma Hawkins. She works with Youth Services for the library, and she shared information about her involvement in various LGBT groups in the area. She mentioned PFLAG, or Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, as well as Passages. PFLAG is a support and education group, geared toward the friends and family of LGBT. Their website, www.pflag.org, displays information about what they do, and the other things they're involved in, like programs in your area.

And the other group mentioned, Passages, is an LGBD group in the KCMO area focusing on being a social, accepting place, and they also give information and support. Their website, www.kcpassages.org, gives the current meeting dates, as well as their mission statement and other information.

Helma also discussed the newsletter group, GLSEN, and helped our group with ideas for advocacy in our area.

We learned of a LGBT streetfair, PrideFest, taking place on October 1st. We also began to plan events for the month of October, which is LGBT History Month. We decided a party, perhaps a Halloween party for LGBTs, would be a good idea. We'll also give info about historic moments in LGBT history.

So that's the overall coverage of today's meeting. For anyone who missed it, or showed up late. Hope you can make it to the next meeting!!!

About the lock-in...

This is Michelle, asking you guys to come to the lock-in prepared with rockin' poster ideas. Celia and I will be working on a poster for DDR, but I think everyone should come up with some ideas for posters- TAC posters, or Anime, you know: one of the clubs. We can make a whole "core group" activity out of it. What do you think?
