Where we are in terms of our kitty

New Member Intro to CA – how did it go – Nicole and people that took the class
How did it go?
student who attended said it was valuable and they knew very little based on tours and this helped them get acquainted with some of the opportunities, people and consumables of the room had three attend plus @Photomancer I bought cake and cookies and everyone that passed into the room seemed to enjoy…next time stay…and clean something haha -Nicole lead, some small issues need to be cleaned up with presenation, others are interested in giving the talk to share the duty, suggested to be 2X a month on Thursdays after tours.
Proposal of store – David
How that would work
Cabinet after other items are moved to annex, small consumables, this will be Davids little pet, approved by committee
What you would want in it
Didn’t cover this, will move to next month
Nicole expressed that we just need to make sure tax information is ok, David said its just protocol
Thoughts/Complaints/Needs/Wants
_Fibers should consider moving to interactive room during classes because of the growth of the program, they also need to use shop vac after usage (@kyrithia)
_Soundproofing the wall against woodshop Kris is going to work on getting a fire code approved quote, we all agreed it would be a large expense but would like to see the cost of it.
_expectations of behavior need to be established for the annex sound is a concern for members but we believe it will be fine once people see how it works out
