Last night Luke and Arthur joined Pinar and I for dinner at our lovely apartment (albeit 40 minutes late...). We we coaxed into playing cranium by Pinar, who was convinced she would win regardless of the circumstances. Despite Pinar's efforts (some even say cheating...), the boys kicked our ass. Rematch scheduled for next week, same place, same time.

While that was all good and fun, we also did have some more serious @ conversations. We discussed the subgroup meeting in NYC the weekend after next, and how there seems to an unbalanced ratio of LC to MC members who will be attending. We agreed that the best way to rectify the situation would be to convince other @ers to make it a priority to attend.

We also began to discuss SSC and how the finances for that, and all of next year, will be determined. We started to lay out the next steps to get the ball rolling on how we will raise the money we will need to ensure everyone will be able to go to the conferences and things they should.

Next up, selling the Salaam traineeship!!! I'm currently working to get the company I'm working with (Human Services Coalition) to either take a trainee or give me the contact info for another organization that would be interested. More to come soon!
