So I dunno if anyone took notes during the meeting, so if someone did, I'll just update this later :)

Not much of a meeting today, I heard? I wasn't there because I was taking a test [mandatory if I didn't want to end up with an F as my average, like the rest of the class] but I checked in afterwards... :) With the whole announcements thing, people got confused and weren't sure if they were supposed to show up or not...

So we [well, the members that showed up] were missing a lot of members and just discussed stuff the entire meeting :) That's a little unfortunate because I would have liked to be there, even if I didn't participate!! I think our GSA needs a few more meetings like that -- with JUST DISCUSSION ^___^

I wonder if anyone took notes today at all?? O_o Ahh well >.> I'll do an extra-good job next time :D

For those of you who stopped by, thanks for coming!! For those of you who didn't... well, I can hardly point fingers, can I? Plus, it was confusing how they announced that there were no after-school activities when there actually was a GSA meeting!! :P Anyways... come next time!! :)

Oh, and our LAST meeting was canceled because of the "SNOW DAY" -__- Grr. We knew the night before that it was going to be an early-release because of the couple of predicted feet of snow, or something... that never actually happened. So we missed school and a GSA meeting for no reason. That was upsetting... >.<

I hope you guys all enjoyed your vacations :D

- Here’s an interesting question: Are gay-couples allowed at Prom? We should look into that ^__^
- Maybe Sue can get her daughter to come in sometime?? If so, that would be terrific!! ^__^
- Remember those articles form Change.Org that Jake told us about? Part 3 is out!! See Link #3 below.
- Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell update -- the Pentagon says only generals and officials with higher positions can discharge anyone who’s gay.
- Next week: Evan will talk about the 11 people from history who deserve the Harvey milk treatment [basically, they should have a movie made]
- Sue came in and talked about her and her daughter’s experience after coming out. If you want the whole story / interview, message me on Facebook [she'd rather not have her story all over the internet]. I’ll get back to you with that :)
