The board email list receives a lot of spam. We should probably try to filter that
Bailey has been removed from the board email list and added to the Tools email list.

We were in the black for the year by $7k for the year. Including the $2700 we got from Facebook

We're not in a hurry to acquire more space from Jerry. Currently his orange Opel is there and he's trying to sell it.
Shun has requested a list of things we want to sell on ebay. The red engine hoist belonging to Chris is one item on that list.
Meg managed to add the space's PO Box to her USPS account so we don't have to physically send a check every year to pay for it.
Benevity registration needs to be renewed.

Not much movement since last meeting. A spreadsheet with the items exists, but needs to be prioritized
Some discussed fear of buying a TIG welder that won't work

The pad has been marked out. Next step is to dig 3" down and pour the concrete.
Dave will ask Jerry about where to put the dirt.
Should need roughly 20 cubic feet of rough aggregate for an 8 x 10 pad. People will investigate best place to buy from
Members discussed hiring someone to do the work vs members doing it themselves
Digging the area will probably be the easy part compared to pouring the concrete. It's estimated that hiring someone to pour the concrete would be around $200

No classes scheduled.
Since the Director of Education stepped down, there was discussion about making the "education@area..." email address into a listserv
Carlin offered to help with Tech Journey maker camp. The format is expected to go back to being a week long like it was in the past.
