April 3, 2008 Minutes

          Newslett-  The newsletter, titled Green Leaves, was a great success!  It
not only 
contains riveting and informative pieces by internationally renowned journalists
such as 
Caroline Margolies, but is also aesthetically pleasing!  Great job putting it all
together 
Leefrances, and thank you to everyone who contributed material.  We now have an 
easy/fun way to spread the green word.

          Green Week-  Speaking of the newsletter, all of the Green's upcoming
events have 
been listed on its last page.  In case you haven't yet managed to get ahold of a
copy, here 
is the mostly confirmed GW schedule:  Mon, Apr. 14- Alternative Menstruation Forum; 
Tues, 15th- Flower Seedling Workshop; Weds, 16th- Vegan Baked good Giveaway; Thurs, 
17th- Food not Bombs speaker; Fri, 18th- TBA; Sat, 19th- Neighborhood Cleanup; Sun, 
20th- Vege/vegan Potluck.  TImes/locations will be relayed to you next week, or,
again,  
are available in the newsletter.

          Donate $$$$$$-  During this week's meeting, everyone voted to donate 50
big ones 
to the Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy.  The Sanctuary will use the money for 
renovations that have been imposed on them by the city.

          Universal Health Care-  The CG, inspired by a recent viewing/discussion of
the 
movie Sicko, have decided to TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN LITTLE HANDS.  We've 
decided to begin with baby steps (lol), and so are currently pushing UAlbs to provide 
free/at cost birth control to all students.  If you aren't that into 'surprise
babies' and think 
you'd like to help us out, you can join the facebook group here:  
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=14299416006  We are now filling out health 
center surveys and suggesting they include contraceptives in the pharmacy money
alloted 
to each student.  GO here to fill out a survey:

          May Day-  The first of May is traditionally a day to protest.....things. 
The CG will be 
having a Choose Your Own Protest event on this date.  More info to come.

Announcements:

          X Factors-  According to the UAlbany website, and brought to our attention
by Lynne,

featuring Bernard Stiegler of the Pompidieu Center, Paris; Claire Colebrook,
