Next meeting--please note change to
accomodate several members and the Nov. 10 holiday: Weds. Nov.
12, 2p.m., same place
Present: Leslie, Leah, Lucy, Susanne, John, Vero
Classified participation: Leah will contact Terrence and ask for
an update. It should be clear to all that we don't always meet
till 3:30, and even if we do meet that long, people who can only
come for an hour are very welcome.
Mentors for students--Lacee and Audrey have been asked by the ASB
to be our student reps. Leah will try to email and Lucy to call
them once Leslie gives Lucy contact information for Lacee. We
agreed we need to have a discussion when students are present
about what support students need. Leah will ask Terrence to resume
the Monday reminders about our meetings, as attendence has been
low.
Green Festival: Agreed to invite whole campus to attend on Nov. 8
or 9, with or without the student group that is going to go.
Leslie suggested that information from vendors who might come to
the Nov. 20-22 Marketplace be gathered at the Green Festival;
Leslie will bring Marketplace forms to Leah to distribute with
this in mind.
Native American Heritage Month--Lacee was going to check with ASB
re: mascot discussion or event, and with Arturo re: collaboration
on a Day of the Dead event. She was not able to attend today's
meeting, so Leslie will follow up with her. Ohlone storyteller Ann
Marie Sayers will speak to Leah's class, probably Nov. 19 at 10
and noon.
CCLC--Jan not present to discuss.
UN Human Rights Day--after much discussion, Susanne said she would
like to work with students on putting up the UN Human Rights
around campus, as was done last year. Leah will try to help
International Club students with speaker suggestions on the topic
of religious tolerance. And Leslie will talk to Angie, Suzanne,
and Karen about a float Gavilan is sending to the Hollister
Festival of Lights event on Nov. 29, to ask that the float promote
Gavilan's diversity and not specifically Christmas or Christmas
themes. John noted that we now have a flatbed truck for floats,
and may want to plan future floats. Vero will work on a flier
about religious intolerance and a Rambler ad or article about the
topic.
Spring semester planning will be on the next agenda, but we did
talk about Martin Luther King Freedom train to SF. John will get
tickets and try to get at least 20 Gavilan people to ride the
train; he will work on getting information out in early December.
Meetings for the rest of the semester: Weds. Nov. 12, then back to
Monday Nov. 24 and Dec. 9. Please mention to people the Weds.
meeting so we can get our numbers back up; it was a little small
though spirited today.
Next agenda: spring planning.
