      • quarterly goals?
        • task tracking
      • saying no to prevent us being spread too thin
      • member newsletter / mailing list
        • or just include member tasks in public newsletter?

        • advertise better
        • "sexier" newsletter
        • clear path to contributing
      • educational mission
        • Nate: offering more classes is a prime way to get more new face through the door, potentially grow our membership, and -- hopefully through sheer numbers of new members -- find at least a few who would like to help out more with all the other volunteer things we need to get done. Running more classes furthers the major part of our mission as a nonprofit.
        • making the space more "open" for hosting classes
          • Post short links for how to host a class/request a class around the physical space. Continue putting them in the newsletter. Flyers (Joe).
          • Joe: We should set realistic expectations on how many students are likely to show up for a given class.
