Reveiwed previous month notes.

Quick overview of wiki, all members are allowed to get wiki accounts, and create content. Just need to request an account from the BOD.

Tellus Event Recap: Jay and Jon B. came out and participated. Jon was a big help. Jay brought out a bunch of gear and lemon battery project was well received. Luis also took Zeus Robot, and had his own table. Overall good turn out. Met several teachers and home-school folks that are interested in hands-on activities. Looking for content.

• 501c3 Items:
  • Receipt templates have been created and are avaible from the BOD
  • Questions raised about the documentation requirements on our end for equipment donations. And ownership and disposal considerations. (There is an open question about the 2nd Laser Cutter)
  • 2nd laser cutter donated to the space
  • Jay still working on automated donation receipt to be issued for donate.themakerstation.com
  • We still need to figure out how much (what percentage) of membership dues can be tax-deductible? We should inquire with Tellus to see how they manage their membership dues.
