  • Membership:
    • Updates one reduced membership converting to a full-time member, one standard member ended their membership
    • Membership drive/new rates - James, in time for May meeting, to go into effect sometime in June. Will send emails about it prior to the May meeting.

    • Start monthly social events? - Nate
      • First two Makers' Salons scheduled. Need to figure out refreshments and sign-up process.
      • Maker meetup for regional makerspaces - ideas to drive this forward?
      • Nation of Makers - Sustainability and fundraiser roundtable every other Wednesday. Did anyone attend one of these?
  • Education:
    • Start advertising training classes again
      • 3D printer class scheduled
        • Nate put the basic outline of the class in the description, but still needs to develop the actual curriculum, test machines, slicer, come up with a proficiency evaluation, etc.
        • Can we set up a time to do a "dry-run" with existing members? Unlikely to get on the schedule.
    • Updates on classes: Joe on laser, James on CNC, Andrew on the Roland CNC.
      • James is making some progress on re-learning the issues with the Shapeoko. Would like to push the class out a bit further to accommodate. Would like to base the training off of Nate's 3D printing.

Old Business:
