Tentatively discussing a picnic for Sunday, November 12 at 1 PM ET at McKoy Park. Business Meeting will be held Sunday, November 19 at 11 PM ET. Out@theMovies is TBD.</li></ul>

Discussed low attendance numbers. Brandon discussed re-adding events to Facebook to see if that increases attendance.

Discussed rebranding Happy Hour. OutWorlders Mixer?

'''PR Coordinator''': (absent) No report.

'''Internet Coordinator''': Vacant. Upgraded Google Analytics to V4. No data for this month due to delay in migration to V4.

'''Historian''': Reviewed Attendance data


== Committee Reports ==

'''Bylaws''': Did not meet, need to set up a virtual meeting on a Monday

'''OutReaders''': Read ''The Memory Librarian'' by Janelle Monet. Three thumbs up, one thumb sideways.

'''Out@theMovies''': Did not meet

'''Game Library Committee Meeting''': Did not meet


== Unfinished Business ==

'''Vertical Sign''': Will update barcode to point to an outworlders.org URL that redirects to Meetup. This will allow us to change the redirect in the event we want to promote a specific event or site.

'''Proposal 2023-06-B''': Still on hold.

'''Dragon Con Ribbons''': See Vice President report

'''Fall Picnic''': Discussed hosting picnic but not doing Vibranium Chef picnic. We haven’t posted the event yet and worry people won’t have enough time to prepare a Ginger dish. Picnic will still be potluck. Need sandwiches, chips, and drinks to provide (tea, sweet tea, lemonade, and water). Leah will provide sandwiches, tea, and lemonade. Robert Marshall will bring chips, water, cups, plates, napkins, trash bags, and clips for trash bags. Robert Allen will bring games and tablecloths. If anything is missing, let Robert Allen know.

'''Out@theMovies Discussion''': Little interest in attendance, little interest in hosting. Should pivot from in-house events to outings with movies we’d be interested in actually seeing. Re-capped last month’s discussion. Discussed making Out@theMovies ad-hoc or seasonal at Starlight Six Drive-In. This would give attendees an opportunity to socialize and do more than stare at a screen in silence. Will discuss offline.


== New Business ==

'''Slack Account''': Will be held in person at Pride.


== Open Floor ==

Reminder that elections are coming up.


== Announcements ==

Next Meeting is October 15, 2023, 11 AM ET at Piedmont Park.

Robert Allen asked restaurant manager how they communicate the parking situation, was told that Valet was complimentary for the resturant and that Outfront Theater patrons could use it. Some people were charged and tried to have our attendees pay. All businesses in the area will band together and tell the valet that they must honor the complimentary valet. OutFront provided list of available dates for us to host at Outfront. We will accept all five dates.

</li>
<li>'''Upcoming September Events'''

<li>'''Upcoming October/November Events''': Game Day will be hosted Saturday, October 7 at Robert Marshall’s house, Pride will be October 14-15. Regular Business Meeting will be held at Pride on October 15 at 11 AM ET. Happy Hour will be at Red’s on Thursday, October 26 at 7 PM ET. OutReaders will meet Saturday, October 21 at 2 PM ET to read ''Good Omens'' by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman. Out@theMovies TBD. Tentatively discussing a picnic for Sunday, November 12 at 1 PM ET at McKoy Park. Business Meeting will be held Sunday, November 19 at 11 PM ET. Out@theMovies is TBD.</li></ul>

Discussed low attendance numbers. Brandon discussed re-adding events to Facebook to see if that increases attendance.

Discussed rebranding Happy Hour. OutWorlders Mixer?

'''PR Coordinator''': (absent) No report.

'''Internet Coordinator''': Vacant. Upgraded Google Analytics to V4. No data for this month due to delay in migration to V4.

'''Historian''': Reviewed Attendance data


== Committee Reports ==

'''Bylaws''': Did not meet, need to set up a virtual meeting on a Monday

'''OutReaders''': Read ''The Memory Librarian'' by Janelle Monet. Three thumbs up, one thumb sideways.

'''Out@theMovies''': Did not meet

'''Game Library Committee Meeting''': Did not meet


== Unfinished Business ==

'''Vertical Sign''': Will update barcode to point to an outworlders.org URL that redirects to Meetup. This will allow us to change the redirect in the event we want to promote a specific event or site.

'''Proposal 2023-06-B''': Still on hold.

'''Pride''': Will be under the bandstand. Robert Allen will ask for confirmation about the upstairs.

'''Dragon Con Ribbons''':

'''Fall Picnic''': Discussed hosting picnic but not doing Vibranium Chef picnic. We haven’t posted the event yet and worry people won’t have enough time to prepare a Ginger dish. Picnic will still be potluck. Need sandwiches, chips, and drinks to provide (tea, sweet tea, lemonade, and water). Leah will provide sandwiches, tea, and lemonade. Robert Marshall will bring chips, water, cups, plates, napkins, trash bags, and clips for trash bags. Robert Allen will bring games and tablecloths. If anything is missing, let Robert Allen know.

'''Out@theMovies Discussion''': Little interest in attendance, little interest in hosting. Should pivot from in-house events to outings with movies we’d be interested in actually seeing. Re-capped last month’s discussion. Discussed making Out@theMovies ad-hoc or seasonal at Starlight Six Drive-In. This would give attendees an opportunity to socialize and do more than stare at a screen in silence. Will discuss offline.


== New Business ==

'''Slack Account''': Will be held in person at Pride.


== Open Floor ==

Reminder that elections are coming up.


== Announcements ==

Next Meeting is October 15, 2023, 11 AM ET at Piedmont Park.

'''Attendees''': DeVon Green, Ed Stewart, Amber Whitehead, Morgan


== Discussion ==

'''What we liked about this book''': Set in a dystopian future too similar to our own, these stories focused on the oppressed and gave us glimpses into the real world struggles of marginalized peoples from all walks of life.

'''What we didn’t like''': There wasn’t much we didn’t like about this book, but we did all express that we were half expecting the stories to connect more directly at some point.

'''Verdict''': Three thumbs up, one thumb sideways.

# ''All Systems Red'' by Martha Wells (144 pgs) - Ed
# ''The Secret Keeper of Jaipur'' by Alka Joshi (384 pgs) – Amber

'''What we liked about this book''': The rich characterizations and deft navigation of extremely difficult subject matter left us in awe. Alka Joshi’s ability to draw us into the world of these characters was at the heart of our entire discussion.

'''What we didn’t like''': This wasn’t necessarily a dislike, but we managed to dodge the touchy subject of abortion which was a central piece of the novel.

'''Verdict''': Unanimous thumbs up!

'''What we liked about this book''': We love a retelling. This modern perspective on such a classic story set in ancient Greece gave us a lot to consider in terms of modern feminism and celebrity worship.

'''What we liked about this book''': This love story was described in such beautiful prose that we managed to overlook some of the things we disliked…until we were together in a group and searching for them.

'''What we liked about this book''': We loved this retelling of the Odyssey from the perspective of a relatively minor character with a modernized focus on agency and feminine empowerment.

'''What we didn’t like''': There isn’t much that we didn’t like, actually. Men are trash, but that’s not specific to this book

'''Secretary''': (absent) Sent minutes,

== Reading and Approval of Minutes ==

May Minutes need to be updated - to be accepted after the correction

'''Events Coordinator''': Absent - Reviewed Report.

* '''Out@theMoies''': Did not have Out@theMovies
* '''Game Day''': Held June 3. 36 attendees, six new. Leah notes it’s a great space with gender-neutral bathrooms, and concession sales appeared to have gone well. Robert noted that he liked the space, that not every table was used, and that nobody else was there. Some people brought food. Only one complaint about parking, someone left early to make sure they didn’t have to pay for street parking and may not have realized there was on-site parking. Valets appeared to be getting anxious to make sure cars moved out of the Valet parking spots. Discussed event times and perhaps let Valet know when we’ll be cleared out. Discussed options for WerewolfATL to join, there weren’t any side rooms, but we might be able to use the theater stage.
* '''Spring Picnic''': Held June 11. 27 people, four new. Eleven entries. Jordan Ryan was the winner - Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Tart. Elbot won second with a Strawberry Gazpacho. Leah notes two drawbacks: the weather and the guy sleeping in the bathroom. The food was good; we planned to have meatball sandwiches but decided on Publix sandwiches and chips last minute. People brought pot-luck food. Jordan did not pick a featured ingredient. He needs some time to think about it.
* '''OutReaders Book Club''': Met June 17. Five attendees, one new. Read ''The Ship Who Sang'' by Anne McCaffrey. The discussion leader was not able to attend. DeVon led chat discussions but hadn’t finished the book. Used a chatbot to come up with discussion questions.

==== Past Events (since the last meeting) ====

# '''Out@theMovies''': Was not held in February
# '''Game Day''':
## Held at Woofs on March 4. 60 people attended. The entrance to Woofs moved, and every patron entering the bar had to walk through the gaming space. The manager insisted on leaving a pathway, which limited how much space we could take up. Woofs could only spare one table (instead of three like last time). May have already outgrown Woofs unless we can bring more tables and chairs.
## Discussed likes and dislikes. Brandon mentioned moving to the patio. Christian reminded discussions of perhaps moving to the evening. Robert Allen to ask Woofs. Robert Allen mentioned how friendly the staff is.
## Discussed the donation sign that was put next to the sign-in sheet, which brought in $45 cash + Venmo donations.
## Discussed how people thought we were bouncers for the bar.
# '''Happy Hour''': March 16 at Sister Louisa’s Church of the Living Room & Ping Pong Emporium - five people attended most of the night, and one person came half an hour before the event ended. Challenging to keep the conversation alive with only five participants, and lots of small talks. Couldn’t point to a single reason why turnout at Church was lower than My Sister’s Room. Discussed no longer going to Church.
# '''OutReaders''' Read ''The House in the Cerulean Sea'', seven attendees (four new) Seven thumbs up.


==== Upcoming Events ====

# '''March''': '''Out@theMovies''': To be held Saturday, March 25. The movie and venue are unknown (Robert Allen to find out from Leah)

## '''Out@theMovies''': To be determined


=== Public Relations Coordinator ===

# Discussed Social Media Network Stats
## '''Facebook''': Gained three Facebook Group members, and gained 28 Facebook Page likes. Discussed people posting in the group looking to find players for ad hoc games outside of OutWorlders - liked seeing that engagement
##'''Instagram''': Gained 30 Instagram followers
##'''Twitter''': Gained two Twitter followers, a significant increase in profile visits (+766%)
# Reviewed potential upcoming posts
# Reviewed pictures and Social Media Graphics
# Discussed promoting Woofs’ social media posts to reciprocate them sharing ours. Robert Allen would like to continue to build and strengthen our relationship with them

## '''Out@theMovies''': Didn’t meet
# Meetup.com memberships have doubled over the last 12 months


== Committee and SIG Reports ==


=== Bylaws Committee ===

Christian Hain (secretary, committee chair) and Robert Allen (president) met virtually via a Slack Huddle Monday, March 13, 2023, to re-review proposed bylaws. Spent an hour reviewing the first half of the bylaws and will reconvene to discuss the second half. Date TBD.


=== Game Library Committee ===

Discussed during Events Coordinator.


=== Out@theMovies SIG ===

Has not met, no report.


=== OutReaders SIG ===

No written report at this time.


== Unfinished Business ==

# '''Bylaws''' - Discussed in Committee Report
# '''Nametags''': Need to resubmit template designs to align with the templates Robert Allen is using
# '''OutlantaCon''': Took nearly all games in the library to OutlantaCon, the first time we lent out our library without supervision. OutlantaCon gave us a shout-out during the opening ceremonies. Darie has ideas for cataloging games with barcodes.


== New Business ==

# '''2023 Budget''': Brian is to send information to Christian to include in minutes and
# '''T-Banner Sign''': Reviewed designs, and discussed only needing to replace the vinyl sign and keeping the hardware. Brian to include in the budget.
# '''OutFront Theater''': OutFront Theater reached out to OutWorlders via Instagram and asked if we would be interested in using their space. Robert Allen and Brandon went for a theater tour, the first time they saw the backstage area. OutFront is trying to convey that they want to be seen as a community center when it’s not being used as a theater. Saturday during the day works well for OutFront.
## Robert showed photos. They have round bar tables and 2-top and 4-top restaurant tables that we could use. They also have three plastic 6-foot tables. Could probably have 55 people seated at one time if Robert Marshall could bring tables. The bar would be staffed, we’re allowed to bring food. Not sure how much the drinks would be.
## Also reviewed photos of the theater, we’d be able to show movies if we want if we bring the DVD/DVD Player/Laptop to hook up
## They also have TV Screens available if we want to hook up video games. Could also create slideshows/promo banners on the screens
## Discussed parking that is about the same size as Woofs, parking decks, and a post office parking lot in the area
## Potential to invite Werewolf ATL
## Earliest we could do would be June


== Open Floor ==

None.


== Announcements ==

The next meeting is April 15, 2023, at 11 AM


== Adjournment ==

12:20 AM - Adjourned.

* '''Out@theMovies''': Watched ''Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog'' at StudioPlex. Five attendees (including one new)
