Monday's Meeting Minutes (MMM)

We met on Monday, March 2nd to continue our discussion of TBTN

- Kim from the Canopy Center is interested in getting some of her group members to help with Take Back the Night. This will be much appreciated and we plan to have a music, pizza, and volunteer night in the future with some of these helpers.
- We are in the process of writing the ASM grant, which is due this Friday at noon. Hopefully that will go well! I will let you know...
- We broke up into two groups: outreach and publicity. We had a student from MATC at the meeting who will work on getting contacts there. Other areas of outreach: the Madison community at large, the various high schools in the area, the downtown area, MATC, and Edgewood.
- For publicity, we brainstormed the many ways we can advertise TBTN (if you have any more suggestions, please share!): ads in UW newspapers and other Madison/Capitol newspapers(Wisconsin State Journal, Capitol Times, etc), mass e-mails to UW students/staff, sidewalk chalking, classroom chalking, speaking about the event in Women's Studies and other classes, e-mailing class server list, putting fliers in the Women's Studies office, taping fliers all around campus and the Madison community, handing out fliers at Library Mall during busy passing times, dorm stuffers. We are in the process of figuring out the budget for advertising and what we need in order to accomplish this task.
- We still need a musician and a speaker for the big event, so any ideas/suggestions would be great

Take Back the Night meetings are every Monday from 6:30-7:30 (ish) at UW's Campus Women's Center (4th Floor Memorial Union)!!
