Minutes

• Announcements/new business:

• Operations:
  • "garage sale"
    • This really needs to happen, , within the next year. Clearing space would enable us to do a lot more activities without as much preparation, easier to clean the space routinely, etc. (i.e. see below)
  • open house (as pressure to clean up)
    • The group generally feels like there is low motivation to do this, so this will not be happening unless someone spearheads it.
  • Change Saturday's Open Hours to Sunday? Some other day? Attendance has been low and volunteers are hard to get on that day.
    • Run this by the usual volunteers to see if there's any interest -- Nate
  • PC upgrades:
    • Framework is sitting in the ops locker waiting for someone to try to get it working. Currently does not post.
    • Nate will just buy something if nothing solid is put in place by the time the fundraiser launches.
