NOTES


Space Allocations:

- Ed's router is making progress, about a month or two left to go. - Joe's plasma cutter has stalled, wants to move it to a more better space. No end date in sight. - HMMMMMM. Delayed decision, progress wanted. - Guy's Saab. Progress isn't happening. - Mike B's Lathe's. Mike says he'll get them out by the end of the month. - Plan to purge the hack rack **tonight! Lets fill the dumpster.

Kids Policy - kids 10 and over can go anywhere in the space if they are supervised.

Board will reimburse the $200 spent so far on dust collection system

Betty Brinn Children's Museum. We are working with them. They asked for a Corporate Membership. We aren't sure what that is. Relationship is evolving. Possible organizational advisors.

Treasury: We netted about 6Gs in the last 3 mo. We have a 6 month cash runway!!! 30G's in the bank.
