Board Meeting Minutes
Meeting attendees: Khevna, Corey, Dan, Dana, Mike G. Josh, John S., Mike S., Nate Y.
Meeting starts at 20:15
Finances: Need about ~$1500 extra per month to avoid going into debt in the coming months.
Possible ways to raise money: Dana's cousin knows a school that might want to take field trips to AHA. Avg. class size would be about 25-30. Possible ideas include using existing computers in cube, switching off groups with some other activity.
BOARD HOMEWORK: Dana will set up a meeting within the week.
Khevna inviting MI Hackers group to the space Monday or Tuesday.
John wants to investigate setting up a LoL tournament; start running tournaments regularly. Riot Games perhaps contributing to League tourney prizes?
Khevna wants to work on making a MAME cabinet to run old arcade games.
John wants to know what the plan is on the cube; boils down to "we need more money". John wants to explore the idea of working in more tournaments with whatever design we ultimately use (i.e. can't see others' screen, enough stations to host a decent-sized tournies).
Maybe run a "build night" for gaming, where we have a lot of gamers come down, pay a possibly reduced rate, pizza provided.
Bright Futures income coming in in a few weeks.
Bright Futures crew looking for some more part-time help. Attendees asked to ask acquaintances about joining up if they have time.
501c3: Get this done already! For the love of Pete! BOARD HOMEWORK: 501c3 meeting on Friday at 3:00. FOR REALS.
Elections: Dana will send out a reminder email soon about nominations
Dana will also set up aha.com blog web pages for nominees.
Student Groups: Khevna would like to meet with MI Hackers to see if there are any possible partnerships there.
Khevna will ask MI Hackers to meet up with AHA folks next Build Night.
Interface with UM Bioengineering group to see if there's any partnerships there?
