LV OAC's last meeting was held on September 25th at Espee's Gourmet Tamales. Gabby, Renee, Lauren and Angelica reviewed the following:
I. Potential meeting with Senator Reid- Senator Reid's staffers contacted the LV OAC and invited us to meet with the Senator on Monday September 29th to discuss our mission and our goals for the year. However, the meeting was put on hold due to the financial crisis. We will hopefully meet with him this month. If you are interested in coming, we'll see if we can squeeze you in.
II. Sisters on the Planet Screening- We have the funding for the screening, but we need some motivated individuals who want to put in some extra hours to organize this event. We have a few peeps who are volunteering. Gabby will be calling some libraries in LV for potential screenings, and Louie & Ruthie will be looking at UNLV and local theaters. Tonopah has contacted NPR to see if they would announce the
event. Also, we thought of having our next meeting at a member's home to watch the film before actually doing the BIG screening. This will give us time to discuss the documentary and digest our thoughts.

III. Adaptation 101: During the meeting we decided to review the Adaptation 101 packet. We discussed and shared our thoughts about the literature. It was great reviewing the packet to refresh our memories. If you have time, I encourage you all to take a few minutes and reread the Adaptation 101 packet. It really gives you some
perspective!
IV. Hunger Banquet: Will be discussed at the next meeting.
NEXT MEETING: OCTOBER 29TH, 2008 @ 6:30 pm---- LOCATION- TBA
We'll see you all on the 29th of October!
