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. - Next Board Meeting: Sunday, February 16th at 2pm
