Shop status
Karen visited the shop recently and things looked fine. It wasn't at its height of amazingness, but it looks like a completely usable garage/workspace. She plugged in the refrigerator and microwave and both began making happy machine noises so she believes the power splitter feeding them was repurposed.

Patreon messaging
We became aware of a gap in our process if people skip go and go directly to Patreon (without creating a Gatekeeper account) then they may not know what to do next. Karen drafted a welcome message and solicited feedback, the purpose is to tie this into the Patreon system to be sent upon receipt of a pledge.
Review upcoming events
We have many open hacks scheduled over the upcoming weeks due to generous time commitments from the membership.
