Karen will write a letter to the Meetup.com membership to see if we can convert some of them to members

Ongoing. Piotr brainstormed some language about how we're spending money on Meetup and lack of assurance about whether or not it's providing useful information to the people on the list. "Is there any reason that you being here is something we should keep paying for?" We're moving everything to Patreon where we make money. Please either move there or give us a very good reason why we should stay here.

Karen: At the very least, we should be advertising on Meetup that we have a Patreon. Or maybe we should institute a $1 a year level to cover our Meetup.com costs.

We will revisit next month.

ACTION: board will will revisit Meetup.com situation.
