Meeting Minutes

• Financial update by Sue
  • Some free money from Amazon! Thanks Amazon!
  • There was some opening balance that was unattributed to any fund, so we'll just stick it in General
• Billy solicited a company to send some donations to machining, but they wanted him to do a review. What to do?
  • Billy discussed with the company, Billy is going to do the product review personally and will donate them to KM.
  • But what about future products? Would it be appropriate to put it on the KM youtube channel?
  • Is KM a person? This idea is whack.
  • Next question is quality control on these possible videos being put on KM's channel?
  • Issac, Sean, and Suzannah will brainstorm some guidelines for if people want to do reviews on the KM channel.
• Tracy updated on KILLSWITCH
  • We think we're good on the date but the holidays have made it hard to communicate.
  • But we will press on
• Andrew updated on projects
  • Door hardware is almost done, then final inspection for interior projects.
  • Blacksmithing building is starting to look like a building!
  • Next inspection is framing

• Issac brings up the concept of doing one-on-one or on demand classes.
  • There was a lot of discussion - we decided to table it for the next meeting.
• Sean updated us on his search for bffs in the media
  • Sean needs a succinct way to describe what we do so that the media has the right expectations - a press kit of sorts.
• Next year's board! Almost everyone is interested in staying in their positions for the next year
  • Do we just off Andrew's position or what now. All our grants are looking to be fulfilled soonish.
  • Andrew has certainly done a great job this past year. Thanks Andrew!
