In a stroke of inspired laziness, your officers have managed to co-opt an already-scheduled comics-related function for our own nefarious purposes. So: GLC members are invited to attend "Comic Revolutions: Underground Comix, Graphic Novels & Manga," at the Public Library of Cincinnati, and we'll squeeze lunch and a brief chapter meeting into the middle of it.
