Facility
The Community Church of Boston is a community united for the study and practice of universal religion, seeking to apply ethical ideals to individual life and democratic and cooperative principles to all forms of social and economic life. The Church provides support for justice in the form of sharing building space with progressive and peace focused organizations, including BAGLY (Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth), BYOP (Boston Area Youth Organizing Project), and The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).
Book Drive for Community Church of Boston
The Community Church of Boston has a very small resource library that is in desperate need of useful and current titles for LGBT youth. Please bring a book with you to donate; it will be very much appreciated by the Church, and a fine way to say thank you for letting us use their space.

Below are a list of possible bylaw amendments that have been discussed by one or more SC members. During the membership meeting, motions can be made to amend the current bylaws revision document (see appendix) in two ways. 1. If a motion involves text not already up for an amendment in the bylaws revision document, the vote must be a 3/4 majority. 2. If a motion does involve text already up for amendment in the bylaws revision document, then it only needs a majority vote (as it's an amendment of an amendment). The below are only ideas. A motion can be made on each of them to "refer to committee" (i.e. the bylaws committee) for review and be up for consideration next year.
A. Rainbow Project (see appendix of proposed Rainbow Project bylaws text)
B. Propose a Chair and Chair-Elect model for all committees; term length; gender equity; Immediate Past Chair
C. Propose amendment to allow SC to add, combine, dissolve committees with a 2/3 vote of SC
D. Propose revised language for membership volunteering/recruitment to mention a web form. (note a version of this is already for voting.)
E. Propose dissolution of Nominating Committee
F. Propose amendments to revised bylaws for:
G. Possible New Committees:
H. Propose creating Ad Hoc Committees for
# tasked to identify procedural items in Bylaws and propose removing them
# explicate procedures as needed
# streamline procedures as needed
# Should committees reevaluate their procedures and policies and provide them to this committee, or
# Should this committee do the reevaluation
I. Propose amendments about Meetings
J. Propose amendments about dues and costs of events
# Lower/free for students, unemployed, and limited income retirees
# Some kind of honor system sliding scale?
