MOXIE Minutes
Thursday October 18, 2007
General:
Good news!
We don’t have to buy movie rights for “Clueless” because it’s educational! Perhaps plan it for somewhere after Thanksgiving and before finals/break. At mid-point. Just need two weeks to put the word out. We should probably have it on a Thursday instead of a meeting. We need to make sure OPEN isn’t doing something the same day.
No word back from OSDA if they’re going to fund the self-defense workshop yet. Steve McAllister said he’s done a lot of this before and wants to talk to us about ideas and stuff. A couple members responded to his e-mail, but he hasn’t replied back yet.
Events:
What time/date for street harassment? Definitely get it in this semester. How should we structure it? Don’t want just discussion. Want it in within next week of self-defense. Guest speakers? Perhaps on November 15th? Self-defense before that, on November 9th, which is a Friday, when the instructor could come. Plan street harassment around who we can get. Get someone from Hollaback?? Erica will email someone from it and ask about getting them to speak. Show clips from their website.
Any back-up ideas if we can’t get someone from Hollaback? Vlada and Erica will talk to Anne, she knows a lot of people.
Date for Clueless: December 6th
What kind of food? We only 50 bucks, request more? Alcohol at event (wine?) However, it’s doubtful that they would allow it at an undergrad event
After we get finalized info for the event, we can send flyers to OSDA so they can distribute them to dorms
Do we as Moxie want to do something for street harassment (techniques, discussion, etc) or just leave it up to speaker??? Depends on how much speaker has to talk about. Moxie can moderate, have questions to redirect things.
Suggestions:
Get Babeland to sponsor something with us?
