You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for the "Editing to the
Beat" event of the *beginner-focused Wikicurious series* at Lehman College.
This is the second event of the series, following the inaugural event at
Civic Hall in July.

Led by a *9-person live band demonstrating Caribbean and Latin musical
genres*, we'll engage with efforts such as WikiProject Latin Music, and
will encourage editing on both English and Spanish Wikipedia. All are
welcome, and newcomers and aspiring editors are especially encouraged to
attend. Registration via Eventbrite is required for building entry, and is
also encouraged on the event page on Meta.
*P.S. Upcoming WikiNYC meetups, you can RSVP for these as well:*

Please join Wikimedia NYC for our Members’ Meeting <
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Election_2024> on
September 25, 2024. The Members' Meeting is similar to other WikiWednesday
meetups, except that its primary function is to elect new members to the
Board of Directors and set the stage for activities over the coming year.
We will elect three board seats, half of the elected seats on the board.
After being elected, those elected can potentially appoint more seats.
If you've been active in the chapter and looking for ways to deepen your
engagement, consider putting yourself forward! If you know someone who you
think would be a good fit for the Wikimedia NYC Board, encourage them to
self-nominate, too! The deadline to nominate yourself is September 18.
Voting (open to all chapter members) will be via a secure third party
service, and will be possible both online and in-person, in a period
starting a couple of days before. Your email address will be required to
vote in order to validate members, but your vote itself will be anonymous.
The meetup page
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Election_2024> has some
additional information for prospective candidates.
Please respond directly to this email if you have any questions about the
election or running for chapter board.
Thanks,
Richard
