Valentines Day Event

Hi everyone. Okay, so I need volunteers for Monday to pass out our Valentine's Day slips. They say "you are loved" and "all love is beautiful" and will have a yummy chocolate attached. We'll be handing them out from 10-2 (or as long as they last!). Also, we need help putting them together (i.e. attaching the chocolate to the paper slip). It will be super easy if a lot of people help, and will be a nice time for us to just chill and hang out together. We will be putting them together tomorrow (Sunday) at Brent's house: 2401 Taylor Ave Apt# 304. This is just off of south campus. We're meeting there at 4:30 and we might watch a queer movie or something while we're making them. Text/call me if you can volunteer for making them, passing them out Monday, or both!

Upcoming Meeting!

Hello QAAFA people,

Tomorrow (February 8th) is the meeting of the quarter to look forward to the most!

This quarter, like many of you already know, is focused on self-esteem. Tomorrows meeting is game oriented with discussion to follow. Its the meeting we have been working up to for the majority of the quarter. It is designed to push your comfort zones slightly and challenge each and everyone of you to be honest with yourself. These games have the best impact with lots of people so we are encouraging EVERYONE to come, even if you have yet to be to a meeting this quarter or at all.

On a side note here are two articles about Queer related issues in the media. I hope you are enthralled by them like I was.

Long time no talk!

Hey everyone!

I know it has been a long time since we sent out an email, but I am taking it over so it will be more regular, I promise :) I hope everyone's break went well and that this quarter isn't stressing you all out too much.

QAAFA has been having a really good quarter thus far. Our topic is Self-esteem and why its important, especially to the Queer community.  We have been doing everything from talking about what makes us feel loved to making lists about things/people in our lives. Tomorrow's meeting, we will focus on what you want out of the club/what you want to talk about and end with a game pertaining to making ourselves feel good.

Also, next week QAAFA is tabling Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday with coffee and tea to just let everyone at Western know that we are here and want as many people to attend who have a desire to make a difference and meet great people. We aren't doing it this week because vendor row booked up before we were abel to snag a table.

Just a reminder, we meet every Tuesday 4-6 in VU462 B. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Sincerely,

Briana
