  • We raffled off two 30 day memberships... let's have these expire on Feb 28. Steve has issued RFID fobs to them.



  • Members Setting up new space
  • A lot of members cranked hard over past month. Thanks to Chuck, Ryan, Jon, Mike, Alex, Josh, and many others. Some have contributed quietly
  • Marketing
    • New member Jay Starling wants to help lead marketing efforts. Has experience. Tanju met with him and gave the ok
    • Tanju granted Chuck admin rights to Facebook Page and granted Bret admin rights to YouTube Channel
  • Electrical:
    • Status of energizing the new outlets?
  • Woodworking Zone:
    • TBD?
    • Idea: Lumber/large project locker for additional rental, perhaps $10-$20/mo. Lockable dedicated storage. Idea suggested by Bret. Wants to build a large-ish coffee table. Will take up space, doesn't want his lumber to get inadvertently used by others, etc
  • Hang Printer:
    • BuildTak: We would be asking them to create a custom 48" x 48" build plate for us and donate it, in return for us using it in our videos and publications. Not sure they would go for it, but we can ask. They, of course, would then be able to use our videos to show off how their product is used even in extreme situations....


Upcoming Events:

  • Valentine's Day? Wednesday Feb 14th
  • Pi Day 3-14-18? Wednesday Mar 14th
