Hi Makers,
A few responses to the meeting notes (I usually can't attend but read the
notes to look at how I can help).
Calendar: Yes, I can make a shared account to the website for Makerspace
with the authority to post a calendar event or featured story. Will send
Gergana and Jeff login and password info.
Equipment: Virgol, our new Venue and Media Training Coordinator has hook
ups for donated equipment as well. W.virgol at gmail.com.
Food Coop: They are taking recommendations for groups to donate to this
week. I think the more votes they get for a group the more likely they will
be selected.
Tent for farmers market: Every group at the IMC needs this badly. I think
it makes sense to go in together for one.
Lights: A proposal is going before the board Tuesday Oct 15th (7pm at the
IMC). I expect it to pass.
Danielle
