New Business

  • Can we make the minutes more detailed? Some people can't make it and want to know what actually happened. Obviously not applying to private information.

Old Business

  • Audit status/ Status of repayments / New historical books (Indiana Steve)

  • Get all of the tax returns from School Factory (Eric)
  • PS:1 Meetup.com has been stolen and is being passed off as another thing now.
    • Sacha said he will be talking to her. Any word on that yet?
  • Electrician to fix not-up-to-code issues. How much can we spend on this? It's (in Eric's opinion) a pre-requisite to doing shop improvements including putting up walls for specific areas. Eric can negotiate with the electrician, bring quote back to the board.
