Events
- Utilities Deposit
- Omegix faxed Huntsville Utilities to ask for a partial deposit. When we first moved in HU used the previous tenant's electricity usage to determine our deposit amount. They said get back to them in 1-2 years and they'd consider re-adjusting it for us based on our actual usage amounts. Should hear back something within a week
- Grants/Awards
- MrWorld and Omegix both won a charitable service award for their involvement with the Make Shop. Two checks should arrive within the Month at either their addresses or the Shop's PO Box. Amount is unknown.
- Enormous donation
- One member, who wishes to remain anonymous, has made a donation of $400 for August. This has allowed us to leave August in the black.
Discussion
- Project Updates, Event planning
- N-Prize - So far, we have completed a general analysis for the rocket sizing for the N-Prize. We are building and firing a test stage to confirm our analysis. In the meanwhile, we are looking to have a test satellite radio beacon built and flown on a high-altitude balloon to test our proposed tracking methods. If you are interested, please contact Spacefelix.
- Facilities Committee
- Heating & Cooling
- Spacefelix - Would like some help getting foam this coming Saturday to seal off dropped ceiling in preparation for winter. Will later purchase foam and cladding piecemeal per week to insulate walls of Main Room.
- Recycling
- Spacefelix - Moved the blue bin for plastic bottles, cans and paper back into the Main Room to make recycling more convenient.
- David Merchant's Truck On Loan
- Spacefelix - What is the status of the truck? Mr. Merchant will be loaning it to us until we are done with it (per an exchange 5/12).
