Discussion
- Fire Extinguisher Reimbursement
- I believe Mog said to let him know how much the fire extinguisher was and he would give us a check.--JimShoe 09:50, 28 October 2008 (CDT)
- Discuss Open House
- I think we need to have a flyer by this weekend. Maybe Sat. go around hanging some up. --JimShoe 09:50, 28 October 2008 (CDT)
- Being listed in Valley Planet, next issue goes out right before Open House.
- PSA is being recorded Wed.
- Transcript: Do you like to Tinker? Does your concept of “Hacking” reach beyond just software? You might be part of a burgeoning movement of “Makers.” Part “gear-head”, inventor, techie, and artist with a dash of mad scientist. Maker’s Local #256 has recently formed to support those urges. We will be hosting an open house and “Junk-Box Swap-Meet” November 15th from noon-4. Come meet the gang, while you swap motor’s and modems, pulleys and printers for wires and winches, relays and rheostats. But please . . . no CRT’s. 3409 Governor’s Drive, a little blue house across from the Inergi Building. ###-####""--JimShoe 09:50, 28 October 2008 (CDT)
- Print up some more Tri-Fold flyers.
- Print some more Business cards.
- Do we need a sign?
- It was something Chris Dayton brought up to me. He also offered to help make one. I personally think it would be a good idea for open houses, but not as an everyday thing, as this would imply a business like environment. --JimShoe 09:50, 28 October 2008 (CDT)
