(15 min) Fundraising - Larry

Summarize Fund-raising report (shared in advance)

• • Larry found out that we can in fact take 501c3 donations retroactive to the date we submitted the application. Therefore, when making any financial donation requests include this verbiage "All Hands Active is a charitable organization pending 501(c)3 certification.". It's the responsibility of the donor confirm tax status not AHA. Year of certification determines when a donor files their donation in their own tax documents.

(45 min) New Goals - Create the next 6 Months Goals - Board

How can we create a sustainable financial model to meet the vision of AHA of being Ann Arbor's Friendliest Hackerspace?

How can we grow the membership?

• Add-on membership for Standard members suggested at $15/member. Need to define clearly and involve entire membership.

(15 min) Event Status - Larry

• Detcon1 - Larry & Nate participating. Anyone else?
