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
