(R.E.’s myspace is: www.myspace.com/breathefree if you want to friend.)
IV. Timeline Draft: R.E. (see attached document)
Any corrections, additions?
* Needs to be submitted on the 11th. *
How will we let youth know that we’re having youth sessions? Pat: word of mouth is really important. Tap into resources – people we know. Susan: business card sized promos? Or half-sized? Email blasts… NYAC, Advocates for Youth, & other listservs to get. Lara: half-page info sheet for conference bags.
V. Ball Planning:
a. Contacts in Minneapolis:
§ DISTRICT 202.
o Ryan – in contact with Antonio.
o Shiney Shapiro, Program Manager, District 202. www.dist202.org.
§ Damien Hughes, House of Manolo Blahnik – Chico can contact. Will ask him to be on the next call.
§ Other houses? – Chico will find out
§ Minneapolis area drag troupes? - R.E. will ask about this. Scout just went to a performance in the LGBTQ Latino/a community in Minneapolis.
§ Holly – heads the new youth tobacco free mvmt with blue cross blue shield. Will probably be heading all youth activities at the NCToH
Antonio: talked to a few people from Dist202. At a standstill – staff changes. Interim director determining whether Dist 202 will stay open. May shut down at end of this month. We can’t rely on them as having a space. They’re kind of in crisis mode, month to month funding.
R.E.: Where’s the summit networking event?
Susan: May be at the convention center, but not accessible to people not part of the conference. May close at a certain time. Marriot – youth hotel. Space there?
Antonio: Will have to think about space suggestions. Quarter sized ballroom. Latino drag show was at The Saloon – only accessible to 18+.
Hope: in Colorado not as many youth come to events at hotels. Better to rent out garage space.
Lara: Usually try to get a bar in town to use the space. If pick non weekend night often not a problem. Hotel space not accessible to youth & probably expensive.
Antonio: Don’t really see the saloon doing that. Have events every night of the week.
Susan: We could always talk to them.
Lara: would need whole venue.
Antonio: The Salera – 2 floors of event space upstairs. Will check on this. Not gay owned or operated.
Lara: Would it be friendly to people getting ready for the balls.
Antonio: not part of restaurant. It’s own space. Summit currently scheduled at Hilton hotel. Short one workshop space.
Sheryll: Could we use part of the main room space at the Hilton?
Antonio: Might be an option.
Susan: Youth event’s on Wednesday
b. Tobacco prevention / youth marketing related categories for performances –
category suggestions from blog:
* (tobacco-free) butchness
* smokin' hot (but not smoking)
* marlboro man realness
* kool: be true
* how to meet someone (without substances)... or best/worst pick ups
picking up without lighting up
* lipstick femme
* delicious smokefree kiss
* “no stank you” – best rejection
* “I wish I knew how to quit you” – “I wish I knew how to kiss you”??
* Equality for all / Marriage Rights / “I Do”
* “But I’m a Cheerleader”
* Other movie- or musical- related suggestions?
We need to run these by someone. Someone from local house? Lara will ask in D.C. R.E. will ask some folks in Portland. Antonio: only have 1 house w/ 4 people. Chico will also review.
c. Logistics
Date: WEDNESDAY PREFERRED
Is this confirmed?
Location:
· District 202 - Antonio’s working with Ryan from Dist202.
· Convention Center?
Networking meeting to flow into the ball, if possible. Is this confirmed?
d. Budget – estimate submitted.
Antonio: We’re hoping we can make the whole budget. Following a lead for a significant amount of money.
e. Flier update: E
f. Other activities at the ball?
Drag makeovers?
Lara: a few balls in town… it’s hard to do more than just a ball. Hard to get people into a health fair. Outreach & awareness could be done just by the event itself. Open mic agenda… less intimidating. Enough categories, almost anyone can participate.
Susan: In between categories... facts or badvetising
R.E. Make badvertising in youth action room & showcase it at ball.
g. What about other people coming into the ball who aren’t attending the conference? Will they be allowed in? How late can we go? Check with Danya.
VII. During the LGBTI Anti-Tobacco Summit… What do we want to happen?
a. Action Room
1. workshops
2. zines
3. buttons
4. fliers
5. Panel with project examples…
6. blogging?
7. videos?
8. letter-writing?
9. badvertising
Youth-related workshops will also be held in this room during the 2 breakout session times.
Will this room be open the whole time? Between sessions?
Materials needed: Markers, posterboard, arts & crafts stuff. Big paper to cover parts of the walls. Canvas to draw & write on… to hang as a backdrop for the ball.
b. Workshops
§ Content Committee report back – Susan
§ We need to choose from Possible Topics:
· How to approach friends who smoke. (Peer to Peer Prevention & Cessation)
· Tobacco industry marketing to LGBTQ community. (R.E. and E?)
· Counter-marketing. How to be a youth advocate… how to fight the industry. (Gustavo?)
· Ball planning
R.E. Youth friendly variant on a postering session for all of these with a discussion?
Lara agrees: we have limited time.
Susan: we have 2 breakouts – an hour & 15 minutes each. E and R.E.?
Hope: we have youth presenters. Could talk about street outreach.
Lara: 1st session on marketing and 2nd breakout groups, eg., peer education, advocating
Chico: Will this be youth friendly?
R.E.: Our workshop was created by youth for youth. Hope’s would be youth presenters. We could have youth facilitators for discussions…
Chico: Is it interactive?
R.E.: Ours are.
3 proposals:
· 2 separate workshops (one as marketing)
1. Lara – would lean toward peer to peer b/c it’s more micro while the marketing is macro.
2. Hope -> will work with the youth to organize this
· 1 poster session – 1 workshop
1. Lara: Instead have a call for proposals for posters.
2. Susan: Then we might be able to have them put in the youth room at the NCTOH.
· Marketing workshop – breakout sessions.
DECISION:
Marketing (E and R.E.)
Peer to Peer (Hope & Colorado youth)
c. Youth Caucus – separate time for youth only to meet.
VIII. Funding Update: See above.
Please put yourself in the timeline & return it to R.E.
I.E. SIGN UP FOR SPECIFIC TASKS!

IV. Timeline Draft: R.E. (see attached document)
Any corrections, additions?
* Needs to be submitted on the 11th. *
How will we let youth know that we’re having youth sessions? Pat: word of mouth is really important. Tap into resources – people we know. Susan: business card sized promos? Or half-sized? Email blasts… NYAC, Advocates for Youth, & other listservs to get. Lara: half-page info sheet for conference bags.
V. Ball Planning:
a. Contacts in Minneapolis:
§ DISTRICT 202.
o Ryan – in contact with Antonio.
o Shiney Shapiro, Program Manager, District 202. www.dist202.org.
§ Damien Hughes, House of Manolo Blahnik – Chico can contact. Will ask him to be on the next call.
§ Other houses? – Chico will find out
§ Minneapolis area drag troupes? - R.E. will ask about this. Scout just went to a performance in the LGBTQ Latino/a community in Minneapolis.
§ Holly – heads the new youth tobacco free mvmt with blue cross blue shield. Will probably be heading all youth activities at the NCToH
Antonio: talked to a few people from Dist202. At a standstill – staff changes. Interim director determining whether Dist 202 will stay open. May shut down at end of this month. We can’t rely on them as having a space. They’re kind of in crisis mode, month to month funding.
R.E.: Where’s the summit networking event?
Susan: May be at the convention center, but not accessible to people not part of the conference. May close at a certain time. Marriot – youth hotel. Space there?
Antonio: Will have to think about space suggestions. Quarter sized ballroom. Latino drag show was at The Saloon – only accessible to 18+.
Hope: in Colorado not as many youth come to events at hotels. Better to rent out garage space.
Lara: Usually try to get a bar in town to use the space. If pick non weekend night often not a problem. Hotel space not accessible to youth & probably expensive.
Antonio: Don’t really see the saloon doing that. Have events every night of the week.
Susan: We could always talk to them.
Lara: would need whole venue.
Antonio: The Salera – 2 floors of event space upstairs. Will check on this. Not gay owned or operated.
Lara: Would it be friendly to people getting ready for the balls.
Antonio: not part of restaurant. It’s own space. Summit currently scheduled at Hilton hotel. Short one workshop space.
Sheryll: Could we use part of the main room space at the Hilton?
Antonio: Might be an option.
Susan: Youth event’s on Wednesday
b. Tobacco prevention / youth marketing related categories for performances –
category suggestions from blog:
* (tobacco-free) butchness
* smokin' hot (but not smoking)
* marlboro man realness
* kool: be true
* how to meet someone (without substances)... or best/worst pick ups
picking up without lighting up
* lipstick femme
* delicious smokefree kiss
* “no stank you” – best rejection
* “I wish I knew how to quit you” – “I wish I knew how to kiss you”??
* Equality for all / Marriage Rights / “I Do”
* “But I’m a Cheerleader”
* Other movie- or musical- related suggestions?
We need to run these by someone. Someone from local house? Lara will ask in D.C. R.E. will ask some folks in Portland. Antonio: only have 1 house w/ 4 people. Chico will also review.
c. Logistics
Date: WEDNESDAY PREFERRED
Is this confirmed?
Location:
· District 202 - Antonio’s working with Ryan from Dist202.
· Convention Center?
Networking meeting to flow into the ball, if possible. Is this confirmed?
d. Budget – estimate submitted.
Antonio: We’re hoping we can make the whole budget. Following a lead for a significant amount of money.
e. Flier update: E
f. Other activities at the ball?
Drag makeovers?
Lara: a few balls in town… it’s hard to do more than just a ball. Hard to get people into a health fair. Outreach & awareness could be done just by the event itself. Open mic agenda… less intimidating. Enough categories, almost anyone can participate.
Susan: In between categories... facts or badvetising
R.E. Make badvertising in youth action room & showcase it at ball.
g. What about other people coming into the ball who aren’t attending the conference? Will they be allowed in? How late can we go? Check with Danya.
VII. During the LGBTI Anti-Tobacco Summit… What do we want to happen?
a. Action Room
1. workshops
2. zines
3. buttons
4. fliers
5. Panel with project examples…
6. blogging?
7. videos?
8. letter-writing?
9. badvertising
Youth-related workshops will also be held in this room during the 2 breakout session times.
Will this room be open the whole time? Between sessions?
Materials needed: Markers, posterboard, arts & crafts stuff. Big paper to cover parts of the walls. Canvas to draw & write on… to hang as a backdrop for the ball.
b. Workshops
§ Content Committee report back – Susan
§ We need to choose from Possible Topics:
· How to approach friends who smoke. (Peer to Peer Prevention & Cessation)
· Tobacco industry marketing to LGBTQ community. (R.E. and E?)
· Counter-marketing. How to be a youth advocate… how to fight the industry. (Gustavo?)
· Ball planning
R.E. Youth friendly variant on a postering session for all of these with a discussion?
Lara agrees: we have limited time.
Susan: we have 2 breakouts – an hour & 15 minutes each. E and R.E.?
Hope: we have youth presenters. Could talk about street outreach.
Lara: 1st session on marketing and 2nd breakout groups, eg., peer education, advocating
Chico: Will this be youth friendly?
R.E.: Our workshop was created by youth for youth. Hope’s would be youth presenters. We could have youth facilitators for discussions…
Chico: Is it interactive?
R.E.: Ours are.
3 proposals:
· 2 separate workshops (one as marketing)
1. Lara – would lean toward peer to peer b/c it’s more micro while the marketing is macro.
2. Hope -> will work with the youth to organize this
· 1 poster session – 1 workshop
1. Lara: Instead have a call for proposals for posters.
2. Susan: Then we might be able to have them put in the youth room at the NCTOH.
· Marketing workshop – breakout sessions.
DECISION:
Marketing (E and R.E.)
Peer to Peer (Hope & Colorado youth)
c. Youth Caucus – separate time for youth only to meet.
VIII. Funding Update: See above.
Please put yourself in the timeline & return it to R.E.
I.E. SIGN UP FOR SPECIFIC TASKS!
