Membership Committee Open Meeting

This location is shown only to members

For anyone interested in getting more involved in the decision making process, we will be having an open meeting of the Membership committee.

Members Committee.

It shall be the responsibility of the Members Committee to: 

1. Determine how to attract positive interest in ASF;
2. Recruit new members;
3. Maintain the Calendar of Events on the organization’s website; and
4. Determine how best to retain members.

Responsibilities of this committee also include web presence, social media, and . There may also be a meeting of the Art Team, if any other artists would like to come!

We will be discussing the best way to drive new membership to get involved in the organization. If you have ideas, especially if you're new, we want to hear from you!

I will be hosting it at my place, I may have some snacks and drinks but please bring whatever you feel like! I am limiting RSVP's to 15 because my living room is prohibitely 'cozy'. Date may be subject to change as fair warning. I also have a friendly dog and cat. Hope to see you here!

    I very much want to be there but distance and work night prohibit it..I would consider preparing a statement of my general thoughts but fear they may be very much out of context given my absence during the actual discussions...

    May I suggest that if more than 15 express interest, a different location be considered? I think this is an important meeting....

    You moved the meetup "for fear of being smitten" on Valentine's Day? You mean... you don't WANT to be smitten on National Hallmark Love Day?

    Humpf. And I was going to enjoy smiting people for once. Fine. Be that way. I'm going to go play in Asgard and see if Loki wants to flirt with me.

    Yes. I thought it was clever!

    Deborah, if more people want to volunteer, I will be happy to hold committee meetings as often as it takes.

    Still sick. Not going to make it tonight. For the love of God, please somebody take some notes about what is talked about and make it available to all members

    I will gladly hold another meeting. This is an informal meeting, I don't plan on taking minutes. Hope to see you soon!

    Roy I thought what you said last night was very important. I knew you were listening and so did the other people there. Thanks for your interest and keep listening.

    My minutes have been posted. I remove the many posts that were cluttering this page on the subject. Very few of our events are 'official' in nature. Vino's for example will never have minutes posted. I agree that as a committee meeting minutes should be posted, the point of the night was to start discussions, not make decisions.

    The idea is to have more meetings like this to give everyone a chance to attend and contribute!

    All I asked was for meeting minutes to be taken and commented my disappointment that they were not. Meetup only allows short messages and thus my multi-posts... but the page did not have many posts so it sounds like just an excuse to say that it was "cluttered". You allow multiple posts as long as they agree with you, I see.

    I appreciate you posting some notes from the Meeting, Kyle. But like I said in my comments you erased, minutes are not notes filled in with memories which can be biased. Posting first names would not threaten privacy, or could be posted on a closed forum like this available to members only.

    The object is to gather ideas and start discussion. Nothing was decided, it was not an 'official' anything. I said beforehand that I would not take minutes. Richard was present and could have taken two hours of minutes if he felt. Instead I took an hour out of my day to write out my personal action items, for YOU, Ambrosia. Like I said, I will have another open meeting anytime you'd like, I want to hear from you.

    Minutes are easier to do during the meeting than after, as shown by it taking ya an hour to write about 2 hrs of meeting... and LMAO @ your use of "YOU". Ya really think I am the only 1 who wanted to read it? Anything written after the fact is going to be selective and biased no matter who wrote them. Like I said in a comment that got erased. There are always at least 3 sides of the story: What he said, what she said, and what really happened. I appriciate your notes, but they are not minutes

    Don't you think I'm not hearing you MY mind is going like lightning through out my mind lightning throughout my head and when I say something I say something are full powerful don't you think that I'm not listening to you I don't talk very much but when I do you'd better listen why I don't talk always learning I did not need to talk to learn and I learned this at your meeting I did not tell you this at your meeting I then watching and learning at your meeting I can say a lot but no one probably listen last night I said one word and no one had listening to me I saw it in your faces for it despite what that made me feel like that is the reason why I never talk to someone you don't know me at all getting to know y'all mean to tell me that you are not pretending to know me
