FACE meeting minutes for Mar.30
So for our big event coming up, we got final confirmation on Staceyann – she’s coming Friday 18th – she’s amazing and famous so we need to get people excited! We’re going to put links to some of her performances on Youtube in the listserve.Gayle will make a flyer because we want to be advertising early. As of now there’s Open-mic hour before she goes – looking for people who would be willing to perform feministy awesomeness - network and get people interested – please let us know if you have something you’d like to perform.
The Intercultural center festival on April 19th from 1 – 5 will have outdoor booths and they’ve said we can do whatever we want – right now we’re thinking we’ll just have our flyers and provide information (unless anyone has some amazing ideas) – we’ll need volunteers to do shifts so check your schedules.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness month, and for a different approach - Stanley Green is a local speaker who is interested in doing workshop for college age males maybe late April - looking to maybe partner with the Frats on this
We’re not doing the political women forum this year, but looking on trying to get Gov. Gregoire for next year.

Stacyanne Chin –we’ve filled out a form and talked to everyone we need to talk to, now we’re waiting to hear back from her people. We’re hoping to bring her in maybe February.
We’re still keeping the Women Politicians in mind, but we’ve had difficulty getting a hold of people in any concrete context, so Gabriela is going to go through the Student Activities Office and hopefully they can help us negotiate with Governor Gregoire and Senator Murray more directly. We’re looking at April for this.
The Vagina Monologues – the rights are free in February so we’re getting right on this. Nicole suggested we think about putting on an alternative set of monologues written by some famous people about varied gender topics. This would provide some new material and a chance for men to perform. This Saturday at 3:00 we’ll be holding a production meeting looking for people who would be interested in directing and volunteering with the production and such – flyers for this to come soon so look out for those. Information for people interested in acting
to follow later.We’re still talking about the venue. Olin worked well last year but we’re considering other spaces in terms of size and performance capabilities. We’ll be contacting VOX to get them in on this.
