Long Term Planning

  • Hi This is Tom :-)
  • I had a topic I didn't get into the last meeting so instead of posting on the group I'm just starting a new agenda
  • Even though we have this wonderful grant that is giving us a shot in the arm I think with our new 501c3 status we should
  • think about the opportunities we have to sell stuff, at maker fairs and other venues and build our cash flow so that when
  • the grant runs out we're still able to fly without raising our membership rate.

Check on progress of Community Projects

  • Bus Thursdays
  • Electronic Door

Members' Projects and Recognition

New equipment/donations

  • We should get a video camera or GoPro to record workshops and other events. One person should be responsible for it.(Tom)
