Agenda

Bank Account
- We will likely be using ~~Southeast Financial Credit Union~~ Regions Bank
- We want to keep roughly 2 months worth of rent in the event that absolutely no one could pay (approx. $1500)
- We would dip into it as little as possible and would replenish it as soon as possible
- We have set 3 names from the board with the ability to withdraw
- Any 2 of those names are required at any given time to make a withdrawal
- Paperwork is missing one signature and will be filed on Monday
Bylaws
- The board is making more progress on the draft
- These are the absolute rules that we are supposed to operate by
- Pulling a lot from other spaces and any issues/thoughts they have had
- Once the board is done drafting them, they will be presented to all members in various forms of media to review
- In order to finalize the bylaws, they will need to be approved by the members
Dues
- We need to determine what is a reasonable fee for dues, without it we can not extrapolate what our income will be to see what we can afford
- With the bank account nearly in place we want to start collecting money ASAP to begin building our slush fund
- It will likely take us 2 1/2 to 3 months to collect up the slush fund
- If we do not get the slush fund built up before we get a space, it will become a lot harder for us to build it up after words
Space
- Everyones' involvement is requested in this
- A wiki page will be formed detailing space desires and potential spaces that meet these
- If you know of someone or a place that we can look into, provide info, rent details, everything you can on the wiki page
- The board will be using this page to keep track of who to contact, who has been contacted, and what have been our best options thus far
Soldering Class
- Cost is $5 per kit, anyone and everyone is invited
- We need some sort of public postings about it
- We could use a flyer of some sort and see if they will mention it on Make Blog for us
- Date is April 16th
Show Off Projects
- Mary has something to show for sure
General Chit Chat

-*** We will be using Southeast Financial Credit Union
+** We want to keep roughly 2 months worth of rent in the event that absolutely no one could pay (approx. $1500)
-*** They do charge a slightly higher monthly fee, but the overdraft fees and ease of communication with a credit union out weigh other choices
+** We would dip into it as little as possible and would replenish it as soon as possible
-*** The monthly fee is waived if we maintain $1500 or more in the account
+** We have set 3 names from the board with the ability to withdraw
-*** $1500 would not be an unreasonable slush fund to keep, that would be roughly 2 months worth of rent in the event that absolutely no one could pay
