Report on the state of PCD: All is well!
Summer Gathering
Summer gathering will be at Sebago Lake State Park at the group picnic spot on Sunday, July 19, after dance. The cost was $50. Chlöe will check in at dance to see if there are some people who will be willing to head it up.
DJ Checkin
The DJs have determined that they are going to do an equally dispersed rotation of DJs. Chlöe reported that no steps have been taken to give DJs feedback - but she checked in about people facilitating some post dance conversations. Deb reminded us that in the last meeting we talked about an online forum for collecting DJ feedback. Nev reminded us that, although in the past people express reticence about giving feedback for fear of lacking descriptive language, that after listening to the community, she is confident that people do have the language they need to give DJs feedback. The Meraki discussed a wide variety of ways to collect and give feedback to the DJs.
Decision: Meraki agrees that the DJs will take responsibility for creating the feedback process, and gives its blessings in having the DJs go for it.
Tax Exempt Update
John updated us and all is going just fine. We trust John and note that he appears to like to tell us about how things are going with regard to our official fiduciary status. We wonder if he is drawing this out because of the shear pleasure he derives from telling us about our fiduciary status at each meeting.
Night Dance
No big update. Chlöe, Deb, Nev, and Eva are going to explore Thursday, the special event friday night dance. By next meeting the group will have details.
Safety Checkin
Nev noted that newbies may be putting themselves at risk via witnessing and trying contact without an orientation. Nev had offered to investigate online videos that teach how to contact/dance safely.
A committee is being formed to discuss and investigate workshops with paid teachers for skills/safety. The committee includes Nev, John, and Dave.
The group agreed that PCD will hold two annual safety dances that have an hour of safety programming from 10:15 - 11:15 then 11:15 - 1:15 for dance. The group that will head the safety dances up includes: Deb, John, Eva, Julie.
