Open Position On Board

    • Jeremy Blackburn is still interested in finishing the term as a member at large

Roof Funding

  • Insurance changed their mind - they are willing to pay for a full removal and replacement of the roof
  • We are on our own for additional costs
  • Remove and replace means putting 1in insulation back up, if we want thicker insulation, we will have to do some fundraising for it
  • Will have to be pretty quick at raising those funds
  • Working with estimates from 4 different companies on roof and need to decide which one to go with
    • Estimates are being compared from the following companies: Buckley Roofing, Farha Roofing, New Image Construction
  • Coordinating with Insurance and these companies to find a cost effective roof that will last 20+ years as well as handle the Kansas winds


Makerfest Market March 25 (11am-3pm)

  • Was packed
  • Lost track, but had over 100 attendees
  • Sounded like most of the vendors did more than break even
  • Have a survey out for vendors to tell us how it went and how we can improve
  • Will have another meeting soon to review survey and get the fall and winter makermarkets rolling
