Ben will price out strip curtains
Amazon has 12'x10' kits for $299, perhaps something better is available locally. Perhaps membership will have some ideas on where to source this, request sent out to membership on Slack.
Karen will fill out and submit the requested verification forms for matching donations
She attempted to do this and the donation site is offline. Once the group responds to her inquiry, she will continue this effort
Ben will reach out to the membership to seek volunteers for NomCon 2020 and find folks who wish to showcase projects and will create a channel in the Slack
Karen will write a letter of thanks on behalf of the board to Austin VanderPlaat
Thank you letter to Austin VanderPlaat -- Mail to employer?
Karen will send a letter of thanks to Thomas on behalf of the board for his efforts
Thank you letter to Thomas Pearce - need mailing address
Karen will fill out the application to make us eligible for Fred Meyers donations
Fred Meyer thing - forms were printed remotely.. Fill out and mail! Related to previous, noticed on IRS forms that Suite #2 is listed.. do we need that amended?
New Business
Karen needs to give Piotr a CT-12 form for 2019
Darrell Perko would like some kind of receipt for his past donations above $35/mo, especially one for 2019.
There appears to be no way to access electronic member applications directly through gatekeeper. Is this an implementable feature, or not a good idea?
A shop cleanup/dump run is sorely needed
Possibly an event day is needed for a deep clean? Lots of big stuff to shift. Need more regular trash runs (Karen can't do this alone on the bus unless she bring a wheeled cart for that purpose)
Office is in some desperate need of attention
Perhaps that should become the next big 'let's make a plan and DO SOMETHING' project for the shop?
Marks on the driveway
Is someone painting out there again or is this old stuff showing up again in the rain?
Lighting in CNC Alley
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 6:58PM.
