  • Mike Yakubek to join BOD in March for 1yr time frame. Awaiting email response from Mike.


Financial Update:

  • With aprox 30 Maker members, that covers the rent, then the Student & Premium covers the Utiltilties and costs. We're getting close to breaking even
  • Gas South failed to transfer the autopay system. Chris has been fighting with them, but is resolved. No late fees incurred
  • Chris has the business license to hang up near the coffee machine
  • Chris is working on financial statements and preparing for tax time


General Discussion

  • Maslow CNC commissioning is making progress. We need to put a sign up on it that says training required, ask for help on Slack. Practice required
  • A member request for Private Event on a Saturday night in April, approx 5 hours from 5-10pm.
    • Concern about the back shop will be closed for 5 hrs on a Saturday night, accessible to member base
    • Josh pushing for polling the members about the general scenario of a member asking to close a portion of the space down for a non-member event on Saturday afternoon to gauge reaction & feedback
  • Tanju invited to be a guest on a Cobb Arts & Culture podcast next Friday. Recording is Friday to be published in the Fall. Hoping that it can become a series where we can have other members invited as guests. Will be recorded at the new Sewell Mill Library.
  • We need to register for the Maker Fest at Red Top Mtn, in May. Need to make sure that we have volunteers and brochures for it


Upcoming Events:

  • Pi Day 3-14-18? Wednesday Mar 14th, will likely hold a meetup for Pi Day
  • Red Top Mountain Maker's Festival - Saturday May 19th, see notes from January
