Pre-Board Czar meeting
- Getting a hold of people, should be requirement?
- We need to start thinking about Bay 1
Sue's financial update
- All zones doing well, nothing out of the ordinary
- When do we drop covid rate? Maybe let it go a couple more months
Fundraising
- What is the best way to go with this?
- We certainly need it
- Probably a person should be the point person for this - should be a board level position
Membership update

- 213 members this month
Mayor's Maker Council Update

- Sean should bring up Maker Faire next month
Voted to update the membership rules (see below)
Voted almost unanimously to do nothing to our rules about the Constitutional Carry Law
Board Retreat coming up - make sure it's blocked off on our calendars
June 8th is almost upon us
- Need to organize logistics
- Meet at 11:30 June 5th to get classroom and space ready
Has that one people ever changed their url from knoxville_makers?
- No
Since the CDC has said that vaccinated people do not need to wear masks, do we also lift our mask mandate?
- We already were going to June 8th, but do we move that up?
Next Board Meeting - June 20th
- Let the minutes reflect that Tracy is not a father

Voted unanimously to add to the membership rules the following text:
- If you break a tool, or come across a broken tool that's not been tagged out, it's mandatory that you notify the board and czar/czarina of the zone via the /oops Matter Most command or the https://knoxmakers.org/oops/ URL, and tagging the equipment that it's broken (and the date).
Voted majority to drop mask rule in deference to the CDC ruling immediately.
Voted majority to be rid of extra items that a previous member left behind but has not picked up yet.
