Minutes

• Say cool things because Billy is not here
• Sue gave financial update:
  • She also had a shiny new report from paypal saying how much we are bringing in from paypal per month
  • We had 174 members the end of July
  • Sue has found a number of people who were behind on payments so we will deal with those people in a more private setting
• Tabby has stepped down from the Events Coordinator position (sad) so we need to find a person to head that
  • Ray, Billy, and Xander have been posting events to the calendar.
  • We think the person necessary should be present both on Tuesdays, and online.
  • The responsibilities include being in charge of the calendar, liaising and encouraging people to get classes, and posting things online
• Linkedin exists, and we have a page there
• KILLSWITCH is being delayed until spring and we have a probable venue (after signing some legally documents)
• Andrew gives a codes update
  • The secondary door is almost finished, the first door is a door. We're doing a workday on Saturday for the wall and then inspectors will inspect
• Issac updates us on the concerning sinkhole in the parking lot
  • As far as we know, the stormwater people have not come out and looked at it
  • Some city people suggested it was a "natural sink hole"
  • Andrew suggested we start a reality tv show around a treasure at the bottom
  • Issac ignored this and kept going with his update
  • Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it..
  • Sean said it was where IT lived
• Jondale thinks his lawyer has fled the country
  • Perhaps he is being too nice
  • Issac may know a lawyer or two and is taking over Jondale's failures
• Rental bay update: Down chairs, up $104
• Billy is wondering if we are going to ever have a czar meeting, and we maybe should communicate better between the czars and board
  • Sue agrees we should have a czar meeting
• Sean is talking with Jim from the Makers Council tomorrow
• Sean also is interested in doing a survey of the members opinions
• Sean also brought up the idea of having a series of classes in winter around gift-making
• Sean is full of ideas tonight!
• This is quickly devolving....
• Next meeting: Thursday, September 19th, 6:15 pm
