Hey everyone!,
Well this is my first official e-mail as President of Out in UL! So please forgive the blunders as I become ever so technically sauve! lol
Firstly, allow me to thank everyone for their support, the Society just wouldn't be the success it is without it! myself, Kitty, Alan, David and Shane are looking forward to next semester and hopefully going just a good a job as Gina and gang!
On to business!
Queerbash IV News
Well I've been asked by Vanessa and David and all that gang at Rainbow Support Services to thank everyone in the Society for their contribution to RSS. We raised a lot of money and had a blast to boot! And Rainbow have also gotten their donations as well!! So once again from everyone involved and to everyone that showed up thank you!! Hope to see you all at next year's!!
Bar3
Having spoken to Bob I've been told that Bar3 is reopening tomorrow night, (Thursday, 24 May) I know that this is really late for most of us but we'd like to let you know anyway in case any of you will be around during the Summer!
Eden will resume in Bar3 this Saturday, 26 May. I'm lead to beleive that this will be held on every Saturday for the foreseeable future but I shall keep you updated on any developments as they arise!
Limerick Pride
This has to be confirmed still but in the event it does go ahead and a parade is held, how many would be interested in joining some of us? We'd like to have a decent enough showing for it to happen, so please e-mail the Soc and let us know!
There will be street festivals and face painting and a variety of other shows and events for everyone! Whether you're in or out or not relevant we'd love to see you their and just having a blast!
It will be held in the last week of August with a parade scheduled for Sunday, 2 September. Once again these details are subject to change so the minute I know you'll know!

Weekly E-mail/ Newsletter 01/05/07

Hey people…thanks for a great showing last night at the movie, it was great to see you all there, and once again, I'm sorry for leaving abruptly, but first day at work and well knackered. The reason why we watched it on the computer was that the Christian soc has the projector booked every Monday night for the semester…which is a pity, but nothing to be done about it. Pity that clubs and socs didn't have another one on hand for just such an occasion…Anyway, on with the info.

NEXT MEETING:
As Monday is a bank holiday we've decided to forgoe the meeting next week, after that if ye want to meet up let me know and I'll arrange it.

DROP - IN:
This runs every Monday night from 5.30 till about 7pm. Ger Hanley who those who attend the meetings will know, runs this. He's a fully qualified counsellor and well able for any questions ye might have. Also not for anyone with sexuality issues, if yer feeling stressed out, just go along and vist him. He's in 'C' block, 'M' floor where the councellors usually hold shop. He's easy to talk to and has information on nearly everything you can think of. Use the service as its part of his mandate and part of OUT in UL.

HAND - BOOK:
Yes I know yer sick of hearing about it…well its done (at least all that I had to do with it is done), when and if the other peices arrive they will be added. I gave a copy to Ger as he is the LGBT Liasion Officer in UL and one to NIALL who is your incoming president. I'm glad to be rid of it.

NEW FRESHERS BOOKLET:
As ye aren't happy with my attempts at changing the size of the font (lads seriously now *grin*), I'm going to pass it onto the incoming pres to sort out in time for the new semester.

FRESHERS NIGHT SLIDE SHOW:
I'll be adding the images that we took of the new and old soc to it soon, I need to get lizzy and kitty together and finish it off, as well as with Ger's premission a pic of him for it. Then that will be done and dusted and another feather in our collective caps.

MOVIE NIGHT:
If you want another movie night please let me know, we'll try to get speakers, and maybe if the christian soc don't mind, have the projector…maybe!!!

GLORIA:
Gay and Lesbian Choir will be singing in limerick on the 19th of May, 8pm in the Belltable, it costs 15 euro non - student and 10 euro student. Well worth a gander if I do say so meself.

BEBO PAGE:
Okay I'm at it again…right so…do we want to make the bebo page a person and privitise it with only the soc committee person, or person's deemed to be working on it with access to the log - in and password codes? or do we want to leave it as is…its make yer minds up time again folks…let us know this is the last time this semester that I will ask.

WEBPAGE:
Okay, so we made a forum for us all to play on, only no one's playing…what do you want from the OUT in UL webpage and forum? Let us know and we'll do our best to supply it.

PICTURES:
I'm issueing a call to anyone that has pictures of the events we've run and attended that they don't mind sharing to forward them onto this account, they will be used for the Slide show and on the bebo page. I especially want images from snowballs and queerbash…the raffle and auction would be nice. Thanks folks.

RAINBOW SUPPORT SERVICES:
Have invited us to the art auction and celebration of their 21st birthday garden party on sunday the 2nd of September 2007. It's on at 1.00 and if you want further info let us know.

LUGI MALONES DINNERS FROM RAFFLE:

OKAY FOLKS, YOU WON THE DINNERS, AND I'VE ASKED YE TO CONTACT JOHN WITH RESPECTS TO FINDING OUT WHERE AND WHEN YOU WANT TO TAKE THEM. EXAMS ARE COMING UP SO MIGHT I SUGGEST A NICE BIG MEAL BEFORE YOU TAKE THEM????

PLEASE CONTACT JOHN WITH INFO AS TO WHEN YOU WANT THEM, TXT HIM RATHER THAN RING AS HE IS WORKING MOST DAYS!!

CHEQUES:
We still need to hand these over to red ribbon and rainbow support services, might I suggest that it get done at some stage this week please. Thanks.

Right so, I think that's it, sorry about all the info…but there was a lot on this week.

so, see ye all soon and try not to stress out too much.

gina - out going and almost goned president OUT in UL

 ——-

UPDATE:

The drop in is for those with issues around their sexuality, but not just that…is what I meant to say…

as ye were
