Discussed
Financial Update:
- We have money in the bank. Yay! Starting to turn positive
- We can cover this and next month's rent and utilities
- Utilities discussion: finding members are leaving the door open from office to shop like trying to get the AC cooling back there. We need to stop this, add a door closer and communicate to everyone that we are not cooling the back.
- Will have a formal report for next meeting
