Group Buy

• It's awesome that people came together to raise funds to get the investment casting stuff going. Props to Kevin M for spearheading that, (along with previously doing something similar with glass)
  • This is a great representation of the community aspect of Hive 13 that we love. You did this!
  • Interest in putting up some sort of plaque acknowledging donors to show future members (and even current members) an example of what can be done if you have an idea

Leave of Abschwinnce

• Dave S has a fairly substantial surgery coming up in early Feb, and needs to take time to focus on his health.
  • Couldn't get rid of him if we tried. Will still be present online, but briefly stepping away from leadership and leadership decisions.

Space Improvements / Projects / Expenses

• Jim and Dave V working on verbiage to organize fund raising for AC in a similar manner to the casting group buy. Figuring out clearly what is needed, etc
• We really need a kitchen plan.
• Cost forecasting for the new space is difficult - obviously it's larger and we've made improvements that will have more maintenance costs, etc.
• Discussion over increase in warden budget / splitting into upkeep budget
  • Discussion to happen offline on amounts, etc. Leadership will discuss and if vote needs to be put up to do ^
• Yarn bombing - super exciting! would be useful to post photo examples in case people are unaware with the concept.
• John C going to ask around for how often we use cordless drills and if our needs are met.

Tables

• We have more tables than we realize
• Jail tables are still in the back that Chris D brought
• Workstation tables (such as the one in the glass area) are simple to make and material is already at the space as it's recycled
• Landlord has offered us some surfaces
  • They're free. They can work as placeholders and then be tossed if we need something nicer down the line.
  • Will need to have electrical removed - easy enough
• Need to have more space to park kitchen appliances
