Update!

The GALIA Elections are coming up at our next meeting on Monday April 6th at 6:30pm in SU180. The positions are currently:
President
Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer

There is a possibility of adding on a position that deals with all web based elements, but that requires a change to our constitution, which we will also have to vote on.

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=70158553618#/event.php?eid=72372316304 As per usual we are holding our monthly movie night and we hope you will all be there. We will be showing Milk and for the bible tells me so.

Get out and March against Racism on March 21st, noon, at city hall. We all need to work together towards equality and show solidarity for each other!

Worth taking a look at...

http://www.amnestyusa.org/lgbt-human-rights/country-information/page.do?id=1106576

This is an interactive map of the legal status of queer individuals all over the world. It's pretty sad actually. Enjoy your rights where you have them, we're damn lucky to exist in a country where we will not be imprisoned or executed, but that doesn't mean the struggle is over.

Queer-aoke?

On Friday March 6th starting at 10 PM at the Mix we are setting up karaoke! We hope to make this last all night until 2 AM. We're getting very excited to finally be able to show off our mad skills without singing into a Rock Band microphone. There's no need for your band to save you should things go horribly wrong. This is karaoke, the real thing!

Invite all your friends and family. The more people who come the better. If you already RSVPd on the Facebook group and said MAYBE please change that to ATTENDING because if people see that you are actually coming then perhaps more people will come and we'll rock the Mix right off its foundation. Even if you don't plan to sing, it will still be a mad night of entertainment.

Here's the link to the Facebook event:

Oh and is anyone getting sick of the posts about Rhino in the Room? well, I guess you can just read the previous posts rather than me posting again and again, over and over about the film festival... which is incredibly important...which you should get involved with or make a film for... and is basically the only event of this kind in southern alberta... just sayin! Don't miss out! XD

GALIA always brings stuff to the table!

Just a reminder that we have a movie night coming up THIS sunday! It's in PE264 (across from Tim Horton's in the PE building). We'll be showing Imagine me and you and Latter Days! $2 for members, $4 regular.

Also, how AMAZING was the Valentine's show!? Needless to say GALIA will be bringing this event to the stage for the 4th annual next year, so don't worry if you missed out this time around! If you'd like to see some performances there are pictures and video floating around facebook and some links on the GALIA facebook group. Here's one of those links!

If you have some pictures that you'd like to show add them on the group! (Just leave out the name tags!)

Also, I hope you are all thinking about Film! Start writing, plotting, filming, editing and whatever else you need to do for your films! Rhino is looking forward to seeing all of your lovely submissions! http://www.new.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2253462113&topic=6398#/group.php?gid=60074233922&ref=ts
This is a HUGE event for Lethbridge so get goin'!

Also, we're going to plan some fun stuff for the summer and we have spring for life coming up as well (and don't forget pride!!!! :D ) So if you're interested in these things you'll probably want to be at our upcoming meetings! Monday the 2nd and 16th at 6:30pm! Location TBA!

By the by, we sent in the Tunnel mural proposal and will hopefully be doing that soon as well!
