Spring 2009 meeting times (and other updates)!

Hopefully everyone is ready and excited for the Spring Semester!

F.O.R.C.E. meetings for Spring 2009 will be held on Mondays from 12:30-1:30 in the Women's Resource Center LA3-105. The first meeting of the semester will be held on Monday, February 2, 2009. Please spread the word about our organization and meetings, and encourage friends to join!

We encourage all new, veteran, active, inactive, curious and established feminists to attend. :) We'll be discussing Week of Welcome and outreach, but most importantly, we'll gp around the room to make sure we all know each other.

Also, as some of you may know, we are currently down to Justine as chair of F.O.R.C.E.. With all the great things that our organization hopes and is expected to accomplish this semester, we will not be able to do so without at least one other co-chair. If you are passionate about F.O.R.C.E.'s mission and are willing to commit time and energy, please consider yourself for a co-chair position. It is an incredibly valuable opportunity and experience - personally, academically, and professionally. If you are interested, please, let us know!

Feminist peace and love!
F.O.R.C.E.

Last meeting of the semester! Bring snacks!

Hello FORCErs!

This week (tomorrow) we will be having our last meeting of the semester. We'll be getting together just to hang out and make plans for the next semester and/or winter break.

Hope to see you all there!

For equality,
F.O.R.C.E.

The last meeting of the semester

First of all, a great big heaping pile of thank yous to everyone who came out to Take Back the Night! You're all wonderful and we hope to see you again at our next events!

Here's some coverage on the event, done by the Daily 49er:

Also, a reminder, that the meeting this week will be the last meeting of the semester. We will discuss plans for events next semester, as well as deciding on new officers. It'll be at the usual time and the usual place: Thursday, 2:30-3:30pm in the Women's Resource Center (WRC), LA3-105. All newbies, oldies, and curious-ies (?) are invited to attend!

Spring Meeting Times

Hello FORCErs,

By popular demand, the spring meetings will be held in the Women's Resource Center (LA3-105) on Thursdays 2:30-3:30pm, starting next week Feb. 7th. Rather than having a pre-meeting this Thursday night at Portfolio, Katie and I will do as much as we can to get things in order before our first FORCE meeting. We will then be discussing our goals for the semester, specifically our top priorities for getting the teach-in off the ground.

See you all next week!
