For our clubs, we have to write a sort of "Mission Statement"

What the club is for?
Who can join?
What will be discussed?

Etc,

I think she means a CEC page with description on the blog.

What did you think if you did?
I liked it. It's something we can all get behind, that's for sure.

My answer would be - whatever you want it to be (to a certain point).

- I get to bring up ideas and get your feedback. Yes, I can do this on threads too but it works differently with the live back and forth. ... more
Works for me.

No this is another great point. With a few minutes of effort, clubs managers can do this on their own. Before porn club, I always pre-format a number of things that I know I will be posting, as the formatting can be time consuming. However, once you have created a formatted post, or a signature, you can save it on a word doc and re-use whenever relevant.

But I'll copy/paste it:

I'd like to propose a cause for the next "big" project involving point/cash donations...

The It Gets Better Project was featured on Glee last night. I've been researching a bit more about the project and watching the videos today. It's inspiring. I think this is *exactly* the kind of thing that the community here would love to be a part of!

I also think it would be fantastic for those of us who wouldn't mind showing a little face (it doesn't necessarily have to be tied into our EF IDs) to do our own EF video to submit. Share our stories as either part of the LGBTQ Community or as parents/friends/suppor ters of the LGBTQ Community.

What do y'all think!?

Is there a logo for all the clubs? Do we need to create our own? I'm down with it though.

And yes, my anal-retentive Virgo self always formats my meetings before hand.

I'd have to read more about it and you know I love making videos, but I'm still not comfortable showing my face. But I'd probably support it in any way I could.

That could work. Ideally, it would just appear whenever we post, but like I said, that might be a programming nightmare. This would be a decent fallback.

And the videos can be anonymous. They can get emailed to staff members, so it would just be a face and a name, but not our screen names.

Interesting idea. I don't know how I feel about showing my face though.

Excellent question!

It would be AWESOME! To better coordinate our efforts on specific areas and make things better. Yes, it will be difficult to invent another 'clubs' like program, but we can talk about anything - and if the ideas are solid, we can make changes and introduce new things.

PERSONALLY, I'd hate to see it EVERY TIME you posted. It's on your avatar with a link, yanno?

Off subject I just placed an order. When was the order layout changed? When I tried to use a discount code it kept taking things off my order???

I'm pretty decent with Photoshop, but designing a nice clean sig pic like that is probably outside my element.

I wasn't necessarily thinking anything as big as what Gary posted for that purpose.

Ordering can get a bit buggy at times. Hopefully this is just one of those times.

I've seen some videos on the site where people haven't shown a face, but it's about helping teens prevent suicide, so I think the idea of not showing a face still offers up the message that there's something to be ashamed of.

Like I said, the video can still be anonymous.

Just a thought, but here's the link to It Gets Better

Oh gotcha!

I am not against this, however, the CEC is a lot more free form. I would rather not commit to topics for discussion as that can do a 180 the day of the meeting... but defining the goals - that would be great.

Any one want to help with a write up to define our goals? It would be awesome if all of you could write a paragraph or two about what you think the goals of this group are!!!!!!!!!

I think you did a great job of that when you mapped it out for Kindred.

I'll see what I can put together. Already the margarita is making my head swim.

Cool! I have an idea for a club but I will need a few weeks to get everything all figured out. Plus I want to make sure I will have internet at home. I hopefully will know more next week.

We are in the process of creating Eden Logos for the clubs to post on all the EF social media channels. They are not complete, but there are some examples of the first draft on the EF community FB page.

I got partway through an order before cancelling it (I didn't want to accidentally order anything) and it looked normal to me. Maybe it is your computer (or browser, more likely).

Try logging out/back in and give it another try. I have had that screen a few times.
