1) Give each participant a free roll of TP

Attracting new participants can be tough. Getting them to return can represent an event bigger challenge: Why didn’t they come back–and why didn’t they come back with all of their friends?
Someone who can help make your events more welcoming: Shawna Potter, lead singer for hardcore band War On Women and author of “Making Spaces Safer: A Guide to Giving Harassment the Boot Wherever You Work, Play, and Gather.”
On March 22 and 23, she’s going to host a pair of her Making Spaces Safer webinars.
The gist of the talk: How to make events–all kinds of events–safer and more welcoming for all guests. “This webinar is for workers (in all roles), volunteers, bosses, managers, representatives, and anyone who has a little responsibility to a space and the people gathered there,” she writes.
“Oh, you'll get plenty out of it,” she tells us. “The basic safer space tactics that I teach apply to any gathering. And with a small enough group, we can dive into everyone's specific needs.”
Cost is just $50 for the pair of webinars.
GRM will be there. See you in the virtual pit.
1) Give each participant a free roll of TP
2) And a little bottle of hand sanitizer
I feel like the credentials of the host speaker are a micro aggression toward who I identify with.

Cool. So we'll see you on Sunday. :)
