Today's QAAFA meeting at 4pm in VU 462a (Last Meeting of the Quarter!)

Hey everyone, today is our last Queers and Allies for Activism meeting of this quarter! yay.  VU 462a at 4pm.  Next quarter's meetings will start on the SECOND week (or first full week) of school in VU 462B at 4pm on Tuesday.

Today we are discussing courtship. Two weeks ago we discussed sex, but today we are focusing on more than that.  We are talking about relationships, dating or just how you approach someone.  It should be really fun.

Also, we will be planning out what events we would like to do next quarter.  It is completely up to you!

Finally, we should be tabling this week in red square with coffee and tea.  The reason I say "should" is because we have nothing to serve the coffee or hot water in at the moment.  If any of you have something that we can serve the coffee or hot water in, please get back to us.  

Thank you,

Josh Foley

Coordinator QAAFA

Hello friends! Today's meeting (4pm in VU 462a) is purely social. 

Bring snacks, board games or just homework.  We've had some intensely educational meetings, so let's have the opposite.
