Meeting Minutes November 29, 2023

 Writers Guild Meeting Minutes November 29th, 2023

 

Attendance: Cindy, Tai, Angelina, Edward, Roman, Maki, June, Kim, Amare 

 

From the desk of Cindy:

 

Do not send any club information sent via text. It creates many problems:

 

1) it creates a clique - those not in a text group are left out of fun idea-sharing

2) the information is often wrong if it was not seen and approved by the sponsor

3) it takes responsibility away from others. Example. You cannot text a member and tell them you are quitting as an officer or not coming to the meeting. It is not their job to relay your message. It is your responsibility to email the sponsor.

4) Only the Vice President (Edward) has the responsibility to post announcements in Discord. Only the sponsor (Cindy) emails club announcements. Disregard all texts as this is not an approved method of club communication and no one was given permission to speak for the club members in that manner.

 

From the desk of Tai:

 

Tai has moved to be the Student Government Representative, so she is no longer Secretary. If anyone wants to be Secretary, please email Cindy at coser2@ctcd.edu. The Secretary's job is to write the meeting minutes. While waiting to fill this position, we will rotate this duty between the President, Vice President, Student Government Representative, Treasurer and members in attendance. No officer can hold 2 positions at the same time, so we will all share this responsibility until it is filled.

 

We will be sharing snacks at the Dec 6 meeting, so please bring something small to share. It’s a party meeting, so we will be playing games and eating basically.

 

Volunteer Opportunities:

 

• We need volunteers to man a table at the Anderson to talk about the Writers Guild on these days and times: Please email Cindy at coser2@ctcd.edu and let us know what slot you can work. Remember, this counts as an event toward getting your tee shirt.

   Most important shifts: We need someone to man the table on Mon, Tues, Weds at 11:30 as Cindy can’t be there on those days at those times.
• 
  
•  We also need help at the Welcome Bash which is on Thursday, January 18 from 10am to 2pm. 

The activity for today was that everyone wrote a title and put it in a bag. We drew from the bag and had to write something about the title. Then we created something after looking at the pictures in the meeting room for inspiration.

Our next meeting his next Weds Dec 6 at 4pm. See you then! 

Nov 15, 2023 Meeting Minutes

 

From the Desk of Secretary Tai:

  WG Meeting Minute November 15^th, 2023

Attendances: Cindy, Angelina, Edward, Maki, Tai, Roman, Kim, Sania, Amare  

  WG meeting started at 4 PM, Cindy talked about Student Clubs and Organization’s video about no sexual, physical abuse/ harassment, be nice person to not ruin WG’s reputation. Please email Cindy to sign document saying you watched video. If you agree that we need to keep our group safe, please sign the attachement , scan it or take a picture of it and email it to coser2@ctcd.edu. Thanks!

  Angelina the president had made Out of Guild Activity (O.O.G.A) for members to give ideas on what they want to do during meetings or after meetings to be creative/ Writing topic members bring to next meetings.  If you have any ideas please contact her via discord or email.

  December 6^th is our last Fall semester meeting of 2023.  We will have Potluck party everyone’s can bring their own snacks/ foods for the event. We can just socialize at the party and play board games.

  We played Angelina’s In Guild Activity (E.E.A) (???) game about finding a photo or song that inspires you. Then we wrote a short story or essay about it then shared with group.

  Our member Roman, gave a game idea: play heads or tails using a coin and then writing a story about a train poem.

  An idea was to enter a group poem to Byways.

Any member who wants to join the project, please write 5 lines/ sentences about the future.  Only rule: No Sad/ Depression element. For this project, you must have been a CTC student in the summer, fall 2023 or spring 2024. The object is to put the poem together and enter it in the poetry category.

  We are currently looking for someone to volunteer as Student Government Representative. We found we need more than one Representative as the meetings are every other week at the 1pm-3pm slot. Many of our students are in class at that time or working and can’t attend. If anyone in our group is available, would you consider volunteering? You must be a CTC student for this position. We are hoping to get at least 2 or 3 people for this job, so it’s not a burden on anyone. Please contact Cindy or Angelina via Discord to let us know you are interested. We may have to conduct this vote outside of the meeting, but it’s an important position that we need to fill. Our present officers have a job already and can’t take on both. Thank for considering helping out!

  Our next WG meeting is on Nov 29^th at 4:00 PM – 5::20 PM
