Agenda

B. Nektar Meadery

Eric M. – B. Nektar has moved next door, yeah!

Firewall

Eric M. – We need to decide if we are getting a new firewall by the end of July, per Brad of B. Nektar, because they will be producing food next door. A firewall will allow us to do minor automobile work(e.g. oil changes and other routine maintenance), just can’t use fuel lines, gas tanks, etc. The cost would be around $5,000 via a contractor, we either do it now within next month, or never.

Nate W. – Perhaps it can be done cheaper, around $1,000?

Red Bull Creation

Eric M. – We already qualified already, we have a pass to go to the next round. The contest will be held on the weekend of 18-22 July. 72 hours. Can just come in and help. They are sending webcasting equipment to us. They will be here the last day of the build off, or the following Tuesday to Saturday. We need to clear out an area for it.

Lazer

Matt A. – The fund now has $4,670 pledged to get a new laser. The goal is $6,000. We need around 1,300 bucks to go. Give Kristine, treasurer, all laser fund monies.

Ted H. - Motion to authorize treasury to spend $1,500 for laser cutter, Rocco M. seconded., 7 out of 7 votes for the motion, motion passes.

Classes

Nate B. – Nate would love to teach classes, and help anyone else teach a class. Please see Nate B. if you want help on how to teach a class, he knows what to do and make sure it goes smoothly.

Matt O. – Will be hosting a class, on the 15th, Sunday, to learn how to melt records.
