Agenda

• Donations
  • We need more donations to help build up the slush fund
  • Without donations, we're not going to be able to reach our goals of getting our own space.
  • Would it be easier for people to donate if we send out invoices monthly/bimonthly via paypal / email?
    • Paypal account is *not* needed to donate, can use any credit / checking card.
    • Paypal takes 2.9% and 30 cents of each donation. Every bit we get helps though. No amount too small.
• Update on potential classes
  • Any news on T shirt class?
  • Ideas for another class we can do
  • Greg from 2600 offered to demo their home forge construction if there is enough interest
• Kickstarter Project ideas
  • Mailing list topic didn't go very far
  • Created wiki page for kickstarter ideas
• Bylaws
  • Begin covering first section
  • Not to exceed 45 mins
