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.
How can we restart the educational revenue stream?
Review Upcoming AHA Events.
- Detcon1 - Larry & Nate participating. Anyone else?
- Detroit Maker Faire - What are we doing?
- Art Fair - To late this year, except to be sure our banner is on display. Next year, Larry just might be able to get a booth in a private vendor area at no cost.
Review Upcoming Classes (good variety in July) - who wants to take any of these for August? [2]
(30 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?
