Minutes

• We had to have our meeting in Arts and Crafts because *someone* decided to have a class tonight....
• This year our Agenda notes have goats on them instead of cats
• Sue starts us off with a financial update
  • The classroom budget is not in the red anymore - yay
  • Some people have not cashed their checks yet also which causes a small discrepancy.
  • We've spent money on a lot of nonsense but we're still in the black for the month - now we can spend money on more nonsense!
• Sue updated again on changing Paypal information and the red tape that we are needing to wade through.
• Planning for the Annual Meeting:
  • Sue will make the financial update
  • Tracy will lead the vote
  • Holy crap it's already next Tuesday
  • Issac does all the other talking
• May our members/czars do product reviews and post them on youtube? The committee has done absolutely nothing so we'll talk about that later
• KILLSWITCH Update
  • It's moving along great, now thinking about some marketing angles and how to get people to actually make teams
  • We need an emcee as well, slowly building list of people we need the day of
• Blacksmithing building is slowly building - we're only one day away from the framing inspection!
• Knox Makers has condemned Halo frozen dessert as not really ice cream.
• The curtains really helped with the acoustics so glad we go those back up.
• Chemical cabinet is almost empty
• Rental bays have name tags so that's great - except that one person who we have no idea who owns a nice stack of wood - so it's marked Free
• The new member storage was added and we're going to make people put their stuff in a tote instead of hanging all about
• Sue is adding stuff now...
  • She proposed a rolling cabinet with waivers and signage saying that we're Knox Makers - or at least something that lets people know that we're in here.
