Reminder: “Questions from a Hat” Discussion this week!
Just a quick reminder that there will another “Questions from a Hat” discussion group this week!
Hope to see you there!
Questions from a “Hat” Returns… Twice in a Row!
On Wednesday, March 24th the “Questions from a Hat” discussion group returns! Think of a question you would like to write down and toss into the “hat” as a potential item for discussion.
Also, note that the Guest Speaker from ACCKWA rescheduled to March 31st is unfortunately no longer available. As such, we will have a return performance of the Questions from a “Hat” discussion next week too!
Important Note Regarding March 17th AfterGLOW Social
As most people are ready aware, one of our sponsors (GLOW) hosts socials at the UW Grad House following the discissions groups every Wednesday Night! The groups meets on the second floor of the Grad House starting at about 8:45 PM.
Over the past few weeks, there were apparently some miscommunications that resulted in the second floor room not being reserved in time for the gatherings. This was all resolved last week and all should be fine moving forward… with one possible exception…
The Grad House has advised that with March 17th being St. Patrick’s Day, the venue tends to be much busier than usual. The Manager of the Grad House personally called to provide notice that with the larger number of patrons, it may be difficult for the staff to keep the room reserved for our booking. She wanted to provide notice as she did not want individuals to be disappointed if no space was available, especially given all of the efforts to clear up miscommunications last week. The staff do hope that the number of patrons will be lower after 8:30 pm and that they can reserve our regular room for us, but would like to apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
How Do We “Fit In”?
This week, the discussion will focus on the strategies members of the queer community sometimes feel that they have to use in order to “fit in” certain social situations. Should be an interesting discussion!
Hope to see you there!
Get Your News Fix Tonight!
Just a reminder that the March 10th discussion group will follow the Queer Gazette format! Feel free to bring along a newspaper, magazine or academic article related to the queer community that has been published within the past month to share during the discussion.
Remember that you can view all of the topics for the term by checking out the Schedule on www.wndg.ca.
Bring on the Drama Tonight!
On March 3rd, we will be discussing the perceived dominance of “drama” within the Queer Community. We hope to see you in attendance so that you can provide your views and opinions on this matter.
