Treasurer, No real change except Clif finally paid up.;-)

How to get Deeper member data. As in which members have left us, and did we exit interview them why?

We think that we need to ask more questions about peoples first impressions, which is lots easier than exit info. Though we could do that too, and will make an effort In the near future. We really need to find the membership forms. Who has them, Kevin?

Change meeting time to Monday at 6 pm?

Some discussion how about how 7:00PM is preferable.

MOTION - Weston moved, and Clif Seconded that We adopt Three of the logos that Jher's friend made for us out of the goodness of his heart. (See attached).

Description: Left most green box, Largest concentric badge like logo, and the green light bulb with the gear in it, but no rays.

Unanimous approval.

Motion Carried.

Discussion of the key-holder/membership relationship, and how it relates to Opportunity Village.

Opportunity village is a homeless camp, where the members would like to get back on their feet. They would like access to our shop to do simple craft projects that they might be able to sell. We talked about giving out keys to a couple of their supervisors, and perhaps asking them to pay a group rate. We will ask them if something like that would work. They also would like some storage, but that is probably not going to happen. We probably want to ask the membership to weigh in on it before committing.

Other topics of discussion:

Unfortunately we missed the two UofO events that we were hopping to attend. Mostly because we were very busy looking at new spaces and the like.
