Meeting Notes ~ Monday, September 17th
Explanation of club – what we do, what we’re about
Explanation of facebook group – private, no one outside of the group can see it (or search for it), all group posts are also private. If you wish to join the group, you need to send me your Facebook url so I can friend request you and add you. I will send you the group url once I have added you, so you can find it (and know you’ve been added).
Group Intro’s
- + broom closet discussion. Being “in the broom closet” means you are not yet “out” as a pagan to some people (usually family). http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/contemporaryissues/i/Broom_Closet.htm
Discussion about religion and text – what is the benefit to having a religious text? Should religion have a text?
Charm making may be a meeting focus sometime in the future. Not next week, but soon. Robert is in charge of this :)

Problems with another club at WoW – possibility of moving club from religious to activism, if only so we no longer have to deal with issues like this one.
