Craft n' Conception Parties: the First Wave

Join us for Femvolution's first ever Craft n' Conception Party!

This is a chance for us to talk, craft samplers for our fundraisers (which will be a huge component of our projects, because we need to raise funds if we're going to bring the Festival and zine to campus), and eat free food. Oh yes, there will be free food. Lunch and drinks will be provided.

What is involved in this meeting? 

❖ We'll be providing refreshments and snacks as well as crafting supplies for the following activities:
   ◊ decorating banners for our fundraising tables,
   ◊ pastie earrings,
   ◊ buttons,
   ◊ misc. feminist jewelry, 
   ◊ Girlie Activity Books,
   ◊ decorating Girlie Goodie bags,
   ◊ screen-printing projects,
   ◊ decorating donation jars for distribution and shifts among volunteers,
   ◊ Kama Sutra jigsaw puzzles, and
   ◊ crafting FEMME-orabilia for volunteers to keep and wear



❖ Before we hold our first fundraiser (which will be in the form of a bake sale), it would be great if we could put together a little catalogue to hand out with future items we'll be selling. Because some of the items we're thinking of selling take up more time than others, we'll offer pre-orders to the campus; that's where the pre-order catalogue comes in!

❖ This is a chance for everyone to brainstorm, or just sit around and talk if they're intimidated by all the glitter, and plan future volunteer opportunities that include...
   ◊ working on our zine (jobs include editing, writing articles, and production),
   ◊ signing up to table and collect donations on campus,
   ◊ networking with performers and speakers,
   ◊ working on the Festival's Scheduling,
   ◊ running around promoting Femvolution,
   ◊ and managing our various social networking sites.

In order to accommodate people's schedules, there will be two Craft n' Conception Parties: one on Tuesday, December 7th from 12:30-2 p.m. (which I like to call the "day shift" (because that's cute)), and the other on Wednesday, December 8th from 7:30-9 p.m (which I'm calling "night vision" (because, again, I find it cute)).  If you have the chance to stop by both, please do! But be sure to RSVP individually to both.


At this point, we could use a few things from any volunteers willing to provide the following: hot glue guns, additional hot glue sticks, a photographer, mini cupcake trays, and a computer that gets internet access on campus.  If anyone can provide any of these things for one or both of the meetings, please e-mail Liouxsie.
