September 13 Meeting

For any of those GSA members that might have missed the meeting on Thursday, or just for those that wish to keep up with the goings on with GSA I will be posting blogs after the meetings with the notes I took during the meeting.
Pride
Saturday September the 22nd is the Pride Parade. If you are planning to attend and go with the group, then you must be at IHOP on David McLeod Blvd. near the mall no later than 7am. Will are pulling out at 7am, so if you aren't there, you are left behind.
The parade starts at 12 pm and is approximately 1.6 miles so it should last a little over an hour. If you are not going to be on the float you are welcome, no...encouraged to walk with the float. When the parade is over everyone should meet at Finley Park to take the float apart. If you don't know where in the park, just look for all the bright colors.
We will also be entering a car into the parade that will be in front of our float. Miss FMU GSA will be in it.
We will be getting as much ready on the float as possible before the Pride Parade. Please contact Arron or Xzaviar for more information.
Winthrop
On September 29th, members from GSA are invited to go to Winthrop to visit with our friends there. We are invited at a discounted price to a show called "Stop Kiss". It starts at eight. For more info please visit the Winthrop University Theatre Department website.
National Coming Out Day
National Coming Out Day is October 11th. We are hoping to have t-shirts and buttons. We will also be Cooking "Out" with hot dogs and probably Vegetarian options. The rule is, if you want food, then you will have to fill out a "Coming out as an alley for...." paper. It is a better way to spread the knowledge of who we are and what we stand for. All this will take place on the lawn of the CEMC/FH.
After the cook out, we are considering a "mini GSA" parade. Big posters would be really fun. Also, we want to take loads of pictures, so look your bestest!

The Fall Festival (Annual Halloween Party) will be on October 31st. More information will be posted as I learn more.

This is for Nick....
MEMBERSHIP DUES ARE DUE SEPTEMBER 20th. THEY ARE $10. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THEM, NICK WILL GET YOU!!!!
