Commission approves monthly Game Night at Back Again Board Games

Middletown LGBTQI+ Commission · June 17, 2026

Summary

The Middletown LGBTQI+ Commission approved a recurring Game Night (third Monday, 6–9 p.m.) at Back Again Board Games, with organizers reporting typical attendance of about 30–40 people and commissioners urging closer fiscal tracking before expanding events.

The Middletown LGBTQI+ Commission voted unanimously on June 17 to approve a recurring Game Night at Back Again Board Games, proposed for the third Monday of each month from 6 to 9 p.m. Organizer Katie Merritt described steady turnout, saying the commission typically sees "about 30, 35, 40 people."

Chairperson Brianna Bloom Scudera cautioned the group to monitor costs closely: while the largest possible per-event cost could reach about $1,200 for 40–49 people, she noted the commission's community events budget for the fiscal year was $21,500 and flagged recent high expenses from large‑scale Pride events. "We do need to keep track of our money a little bit better," Scudera said. Commissioners agreed to regular fiscal reporting beginning in July.

Katie Merritt moved to approve the event application; Derek Cartagena seconded and the motion passed with all voting aye. Commissioners said they will continue to evaluate frequency and delegate hosting when necessary.
