Agenda

Great Circle

No one opposed to having it, so it's a go.

  • Hold it in March to give us time to plan / announce
  • Potluck + buy some beverages / snacks / breakfast foods (Assisted Potluck)
  • We liked John's place & on a Saturday
  • Topics
    • Wishlist ~ what we like and don't like re: Lammas Gathering
    • April (?) shoring up of bogwalk
  • Communications:
    • Postcard
      • phone contact Two Bears / redWing
      • Return service requested
      • Carpooling
  • Planning Circle to happen at Vera's (1 hour before) this Wednesday.
  • Budget consensed: $100 (?) + flowers to host and $75 for food.

Bogwalk Repair

Needs some shoring up in 5 spots; could be done with some wood / logs. We could visibly mark places to avoid. Find interested folks to do in April or so.

  • Maintain current bogwalk rather than complete replacement
  • Homestead and Kawashaway have wood
  • Cutting Alder is not necessary just now

Treasurer's Report

  • Contact Ehsea for details

Pride Booth

  • Cheaper to sign up in January.
  • $75 per space ~ buy 2-3 spaces? Would like to request quiet, spacious place, possibly away from the rest? A place to gather rather than "sell".
  • Hospitality and faulousness ~ let that be our marketing. We could have drumming, picnics, toenail paintings, silly rituals.
  • What about focusing on the parade (or guerilla theatre) vs. getting a booth. Faerie parade within the parade (kiddie cars).
  • Whatever we do, bring it to May Day (Free Speech area) and Duluth Pride.

Lammas Gathering 2007

  • Do we want to have it? Several responded positively.
  • RFD deadline 15th of January for Spring Equinox

Miscellaneous

  • Pobox near Patrick's Cabaret. Keys to go to E! or redWing
  • Homestead fixed carts and wagons; Oni to be reimbursed. Global Industrial has easy cart solutions. THANK YOU GUYZ!

Forward to Next Circle (March)

  • Lammas Gathering Call
