April 2016 - Board Meeting
Financial update (Bailey)
Memberships down
$108 under break-even by members with utilities ($60/month on average)
Churn mostly due to understandable reasons- adding as well
We were in the black for quite a while
What can we done to add further?
Raised money from Arduino class
Pop fund essentially untouched
Landlord relations
STILL sneaking checks into drop box in the locked tenant entryway
Possible partnership with Gravitate (Tim)
Gravitate may be moving to 515 28th St.
~12k sq ft, Gravitate does not need all of it
Possible to share some common areas
Plan out fundraising
Crowd funding campaign
Goal is $1.5m for tools, building, etc.
Laser-cut coasters, etc.
Help creating prizes and giveaways for the campaign
Coordinate with event at Twisted Vine
Use GoFundMe - they take credit card fees for all amounts and 3% if goal is met
Grants
Raise money prior to requesting grants to demonstrate viability

Membership drive
Sent copy for flyers to Andy, waiting on design work
Could mine existing list but limited upside

Ray thinking a word clock
Events

Kid events haven’t led to conversion but they do keep their kids in line
