First of all, congrats to our new board members:

Lia Ocasio – Activities Chair
Bob Held – Co-Fundraising Chair

We also voted on our theme of the year, choosing to focus on LGBTQ family formation.  Our tagline for this year will be “QLove: Reframing the Family”.

Don’t forget that we’re having elections for our next meeting for 1L Reps.  Email any questions about the position or elections to lfangmann@wisc.edu.

Our next meeting will also consist of planning for a National Coming Out Month tabling event and a movie/discussion.  More details and a date to follow soon!

Finally, our first social event will be an “aged-grape beverage” tasting on Sept. 21.  Join the Facebook QLaw group to RSVP or drop in at the Barriques on West Washington at 6:30p.
