Hi US Wikimedians,
If you're a regular participant in our monthly meetings and would be
willing to serve as chair or secretary for a meeting, please email me off
list. I am trying to rotate these duties so that no one is stuck in a
position and so that people have the opportunity to take turns.
Being chair mainly involves welcoming people and keeping everyone on time
with the scheduled agenda. Being secretary involves taking notes that will
be published to Meta.
Thanks!

Hi all,
Here is this month's Doodle poll for scheduling our July meeting:
http://doodle.com/poll/r34gpzp8kbgcx9da
Times are shown in Pacific by default, so please be sure to convert if
you're in a different time zone. The earliest time slot shown is 5 PM
Pacific which is 8 PM Eastern, and the latest time slot shown is 6:30 PM
Pacific which is 9:30 PM Eastern. This seems to reflect the range in which
we get the most participants.
A tentative agenda is at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WALRUS/July_2016.
You are welcome to add items to the agenda; please include your username if
you do so.
Thanks!
Pine

Dear all,
On behalf of the Affiliations Committee, I am glad to announce the
recognition of the newest Wikimedia User Group in the United States: Ohio
Wikimedians User Group [1]. Their focus of activities is in the state of
Ohio, supporting and helping develop the local community of wikimedians.
It is worth noting that some of the founding members of the group have been
members of Wikipedia Connection[2], a Ohio State University student
organization devoted to contribute to Wikipedia, who have been joined by
other wikimedians from Ohio to create this new User Group.
Welcome to the family!

Hi everyone,
The attorney who is assisting Cascadia Wikimedians with our 501(c)(3)
application informed me today that our application has been submitted to
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS sometimes asks questions about applications. Hopefully we will hear
back from the IRS within the next few months. (:
In the long term there are likely to be important benefits to Cascadia from
receiving 501(c)(3) registration, including access to free or discounted
products and services, increased ease of independent fundraising, and
favorable treatment by government agencies.
I am grateful to the Wikimedia Foundation for providing us the funds to
enable this step toward our long-term success.

Hi Wiki-Americans,
The Great American Wiknic is the annual "picnic anyone can edit" being held
on weekend dates in July 2016 in cities across the United States, with
local organization of each event.
See details here:
http://wiknic.org/
Wiknics are:
*Easy to organize, even for old Wikipedians
*Welcoming to everyone, even for new Wikipedians
*Fun!
Please add info about your event here ASAP:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic#Great_American_Wiknic_picnic…
We'll try to get the banners up by Thursday, so it would be beneficial to
get preliminary event info up before then.
And let me know if you have any questions about organizing in your
city/region.
Thanks,
Pharos
