Okay. Just seems like a door has been opened…

IOW, you can say, hey, I'm going to be there and I'm going to be taking money for the International Alpaca Fund - I'll be wearing an Alpaca shirt, come find me if you love Alpacas. You may not, however, directly solicit people at the conference for any kind of fundraising. This means you cannot approach or harass people to request they donate to your fundraising cause. Attendees may not use an exhibit booth, sponsored event, or a presentation to promote their political/fundraising activity. Also, for the record, Amy and Kathy requested permission from the local conference group as well as the EOB Conference Committee prior to sending that email. Any activities at the Evergreen Conference have the potential for being interpreted as being endorsed by the Evergreen Project, therefore, the Conference Committee and the EOB have the final say as to what constitutes an appropriate activity at the conference. As Amy and Kathy's cause is directly related to the recently released position statement put forth by the EOB on behalf of the project, and is in clear support of our Code of Conduct, it is acceptable. Though, to be clear, what they are doing is still not endorsed as a conference activity, and they may not use the Evergreen logo or insinuate that their fundraiser is endorsed by the project. I hope that helps clarify.

Amy was clear that she was speaking for herself and Kathy as individuals,' not for the conference committee. I have a vague memory of some fund raising at a past event for some cause also but that memory may be faulty since I can't remember which or for what. For myself I see this as very much in line with the project as the project put out a related statement. It really would be up to the project not the conference committee since the conference committee implements the conference each year but it's the project's conference. end comments not affiliated with any other entity including my employer */ On Wed, Apr 13, 2016 at 10:02 AM, Jim Taylor <jtay...@jtdata.com> wrote: Does this mean that fund-raising, for any cause, is now officially authorized at the conference? Also, is the list now open for use in promoting whatever agenda we wish, in addition to Evergreen business? This is what I am understanding from the recent posts but wanted to get an official word so I don’t misuse the list.

Kathy Lussier from MassLNC and Amy Terlaga from Bibliomation will be collecting donations from anyone at the conference interested in giving to Equality NC. Equality NC is dedicated to securing equal rights and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) North Carolinians. For more info, see http://equalitync.org/. We'll be wearing rainbow ribbons on our shirts for easy spotting. Cash only. This is to make it easy for you to donate. Due to the political nature of their work, donations are not tax-deductible.
