• Do we want to do a poster campaign again?
• Angelica will help fund the event
• Could do something like the Genderpending campaign done three years ago
• Want to include pictures of Mudders with quotes of people, maybe
• Theme?
• There's a general attitude that we have nothing left to talk about on this subject because people are so accepting, but we don't think this is true. Let's challenge this and come up with things that aren't talked about much!
• Next week - discuss this, come up with quotes to put up that bring up this point
• Dean Spade (law professor at Univ. of Washington) was contacted by August. He is busy this year, but he can come talk in Claremont next semester
• November 29th?
• Let's find out the cost first, talk to Angelica, and maybe ask for a larger budget next year?
• Faculty dinners - still pending
• Chance talked to Angelica about how people invited to talk at the 5Cs are not usually aware of our environment, or they're aimed at the wrong audience
• Maybe talk to other clubs about getting more informed/important speakers
• Meeting of all queer group leaders at the 5Cs once a month
• Also have students review events after they occur

Meeting 3/8/12

• Queer Ballroom Social currently scheduled for April 13th at 7:00 PM
• Same day as Funball
• Liz will try to see if it can be changed to April 14th
• Our Breaking the Silence BBQ is on the 5C calendar for Gaypril
• Sarah has not heard about ASP yet...
• How should we spend the extra money we have?
• Perhaps it can be used for better dinner with profs, as currently it has been suggested that we have dinner at the profs' houses to be more cost efficient.
