Makes flyers, covert chalk operations, other means of advertising
We discussed the most effective methods of advertising on and around campus. Ideas included:
- Posting fliers weekly on kiosks
- Having the "Ally" colored signs or something similar for us to distribute online and at events so that people can post it on their dorm windows or doors
- We want to concentrate on posting in high traffic areas such as Welch, Jester, RLM, the PCL and other libraries, and also reaching out to typically "heteronormative" pockets of campus, such as the engineering/non-liberal arts buildings
- We want to get approval from as many stores on the drag as we can to allow us to post our campaign fliers in their windows
- We will begin flyering immediately after the "Campaign Kickoff Celebration" that the demonstration group is organizing

The date we are going to film our first video is now Friday, September 23rd from 12-5 in the afternoon!
- We decided that we are going to have a second video asking people to define what it means for them to be an ally or queer individuals, and ask them for their defining moments in either respect
- We would like to film around three during coming out week and post them to the StandOut Youtube page and ask for submissions which we can put all together as a coming out as an ally or queer individual video series
Web Group:
Sets up the website to coordinate all the action and getting people to visit the site.
The Web group started their project this meeting with everyone making their own Ally Sign!
The meeting ended with everyone participating in the Web Groups project and making an Ally sign and taking a picture.
