Financial Report - getting ready to purchase some stuff from our grant!
We should do our best to support SPARK
Membership - flirting with 300! probably by next month we'll be there
Maker Market Post Mortem - how can we be better at delivering so that deadline's don't pass us by
- Spreading the load is helpful
- Clear timelines
Should we hide the join form so that strangers don't join and get all the way through trial membership without ever meeting anyone?
- Members would have to attend New Member Onboarding in order to join
- Would it make membership go down? Would it help people be more committed?
- Does it feel more like a secrety secret club?
Maker Summit - Sean liked it
Maker City video - does it really promote us?
Maker Meetup at Knox Makers - Oct 27
Killswitch - seems like Tim might be interested in leading that project
- Should we put the trailer under a car port since we keep destroying tarps - ask SPARK if they're cool with it
KCDC did secure grant for the transforming Western project
- Andrew was interested in being our liaison to the project
Maintenance issues
- Leak from the ceiling near the bathroom
