Other upcoming expenses are renewing our incorporation, paying for a table at Pride, and buying ads for the TimeGate and Outlantacon/Gaylaxicon program books.

Gaming
Game Night at Robert’s studio went well. Bryan Faris will host the February Game Night in Sandy Springs.
Old Business
The 2011 budget was approved as presented.
Chattacon party is next weekend, Saturday, January 22nd, at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo from 8 pm to 1 am.
New Business
We don’t know the dates for Atlanta Pride yet. We will get an additional table/tent space at Pride this year and enclose it for people to play games and hang out. We will also arrange to have electricity in this space.
Dragon*Con requires fan tables to be staffed at all times. This has habitually been difficult for us. We may want to explore paying for the membership of people who will then promise to staff the table for us. Perhaps simply having a published schedule with assigned staffing times will help.
The Spring Picnic will be on April 9th of this year, back at the Chattahoochee Rec Center, from 10 am to 3 pm.
The Anniversary Party will be in June, possibly June 18th.
LizBeth is working on our trifold brochure.
The meeting adjourned at 12:21 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by Vandy Beth Glenn, Secretary, Atlanta Outworlders.
