Queers and Allies

OK, guys… I’ve been pulling some strings behind the scenes.  During the weekend I met up with Lynn Gensamer, the director at the Humane Society, to talk about coordinating some service opportunities with them.  Read: playing with puppies and kittens!

She said it sounded like a great idea, so I’ve sent some correspondance out to the right folks to get this to happen.  I’m also in contact with some local hospices and other organizations to get us in the door there.  If this all goes well we may have a bi-monthly shuttle to the Humane Society and 2-3 opportunities during the quarter to help out with other service projects.  All our logged hours can go directly onto your resume, and trust me… that looks VERY good to future employers.

I’ll keep everybody up to date with what’s going on.  As soon as I hear back from Nancy Richards (volunteer coordinator) I’ll put up the verdict.

Keep being awesome, guys!! Can’t WAIT for the next meeting!  It will be super fantastic, we have so many interested folks!

If you missed the first Q&A meeting of the Fall 2009 quarter, no worries! Here is a review of some of the key things you may need to know:

[Equality Across America; Washington DC March: Oct. 10-11]
Stand Out Youth (SOY) is providing limited transportation to this march for this interested. They/we will be leaving to drive there the 9th and will return the 12th.

[Atlanta Pride: Oct. 31 - Nov. 1]
For those who missed out on Savannah Pride, here is the chance to make it to an even bigger and more popular pride event.

Next meeting we are having a panel from a few of our officers and elite members.

And! We had an awesome turn out of 54 people (if I counted correctly). Wonderful to have met you all, we hope to see you throughout the year! And those who didn’t come, we hope to see you too. <3

Welcome back, everybody!

Our first meeting will be held on September 24th, 2009 in the Boundary Village Common Room from 9:00pm -10:00pm.

Everybody is encouraged to attend!  Look for our print, poster, and digital ads for more information and BE SURE to pass this info onto your friends.  Our first-quarter average attendance last year was about 45, lets get that number up so we can really MAKE A DIFFERENCE to the students this year. 

Also, if you’re interested in attending an executive board meeting with all the Q&A officers I’m trying to set one up for this Thursday, September 17th at 9pm in the Boundary Common room.  This is not yet official, though.  Let me know!

I LOVE YOU ALL!
