Time & Location

Minutes
- This year each person on the board will report on their individual projects so we can keep everyone on task

- Update on the building purchase - we are talking to fancy people and getting ducks in a row
- Maker Education Meetup - Issac could not make the last one but Daryl went

- Vestival has passed and went about as we expected...
- We had 13 volunteers and 22 guests over the course of the day
- We could have done better promoting it ourselves but we also had hoped for more support from the main organizers
- Larry updated on Killswitch
- A canopy has been delivered and almost all put together
- Robot classes hopefully next month to get people excited!
