Hey all!! I just wanted to start out by saying thanks to Angela (The Non-Girlfriend), Aaron Bowie Gorelik, Trish, Sean, & Bethany for coming to our meeting tonight! WooHoo! Quite a Bring A Friend Night we had!! The meeting minutes are too long this time. We spent a great deal of time tonight in the Heart-2-Heart Area seeing how Jen brought us pizza and pop! YEAH JEN! We also spent a great deal talking about the sad yet empowering event that occurred in the wee hours of the morning. As probably you all know (seeing how this is sent to the same listserv that has received 40 emails about the situation) the wall was horribly defaced. Not only were there homophobic remarks but threats to members of the community. Ashley wrote down everything that was written on the wall, and many people took pictures, as it was not painted over by facilities management till this afternoon due to police investigations. However, once it had a nice fresh coat of white paint the community gave the wall some more flava'! It looks great guys! I really love the things about straights and allies! It was a rough day for us all, I think we're all ready to move to a new day and turn the page to new challenges like what to do now. Anywho, I'm glad everyone is safe! Yeah for that!

There'll be a picture taken of the members of one next Thursday at 6:30 pm. We'll meet at the gateway. The plan is to dress "business casual." (Whatever the heck that is.)

The rest of the meeting was dedicated to proposing amendments to the Constitution. As lovely as the original was, everyone had some ideas about how to change it. Here's a run-down of the propositions - think about them and come vote on Thursday!

Proposed Amendments

- The Executive Secretary: The new duties include taking attendance and doing mailings to alumni.
- The Director of Finance: The new duties are collecting dues and keeping records of those that have paid.
- The Director of Programs: The new duties are the promotion, set-up, execution, and clean-up of programs; and the ability to appoint committees to help is these areas.
- Committees: They will meet bi-monthly with the oneboard. All descriptions of the previous committees will be taken out, with just an AD HOC committee remaining.
- onepackets: A more detailed description will be included, and the statement pertaining to the Director of Promotions will be taken out.
- Elections: Absentee ballots will be available on an individual basis and can be given by the oneboard.
- Terms of Office: Weeks 7 and 8 of spring quarter will be jointly run by the old and new oneboards, and the new oneboard will assume all responsibilities on week 9.
- Membership: Membership cards!
- Dues: The amount collected will be determined by the Director of Finance.

If you are wondering what exactly the current Constitution looks like, check out the online version.

See you all soon!
Kelly

-Everyone shared a favorite memory of the year to wrap up the meeting. To bring back some warm fuzzies, here's a few of them that were mentioned: the "that's sooo gay" debate, first contacts with members, free pizza, Diversity Rocks the Vote, selling leis, the first big blitz, recognition from the unlearn posters, seeing unknowns wearing Allydrive buttons, the big membership, and the excitement of those early meetings.

We have had a good year guys! Be proud!
