 ====== **Adult Derby Event** ======
-Applegate: Lucas Anthony & John Estelle came by last night looking into whether we could do a pinewood derby fundraiser.  Al is OK with it.  It does not conflict with sports events.  John wants us to go directly to Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to source the pinewood cars.
+Lucas Anthony & John Estelle came by last night looking into whether we could do a pinewood derby fundraiser. Al is OK with it. It does not conflict with sports events. Possibly the pinewood derby cars could be sourced from Boy Scouts of America (BSA), or Kwikcrafts.  Lucas and John have written up a schedule of charges based on if you get car & whether one attends a workshop to make their own cars.  To deal with abandoned car issues, there is a meet-up the day before race day for finishing and weighing in. There we some concerns about adults attending a multiday event and it being chaotic.  We discussed having available  a few  premade cars?   Maybe for latecomers also?  Lucas and John would be buying the stock. Lucas is going to talk to Al about a date & John is going to organize the class.
-Flaga: I'm not sure if BSA would want to sell to non kids
-Hughes: Possibly they could be sourced from Kwikcrafts.
-Applegate:  I have a schedule of charges based written up by Lucas and John based on if you get car & whether one attends a workshop to make their own cars.
-Flaga: In my experience, lots of people abandon car because the paint takes so long to dry and they need to return a second time to finish.
-Canino-Koning: They have provided for that on the schedule--there is a meet-up the day before race day for finishing and weighing in.
-Flaga:  That sounds like it could be crowded and a mess.
-Raymond: This is a good event; but will adults really come over a multi-day event?
-Canino-Koning: Maybe there should be some premade cars?
-Kennedy: Yeah, you can decorate them a little with stickers or something to customize them
-Adams:  Lets be supportive of the event & look at how they can do it.
-Hughes: We should have cars at the event for the latecomers
-Flaga: Who is buying the stock ahead of time?
-Applgate: They are buying.  Lucas is going to talk to Al about a date & John is going to organize the class.
-Flaga: Was the track acceptable to them?
-Applegate: Yes, we might want to cover the electronics in the back.
-Adams: Are we cool with someone doing a fundraiser with us?  Jody could you follow up with them?  Let's keep this their event.
-Jody: Yes, that is why they came to us, because they want to do an event with us.
-Price wise, is everyone OK with the numbers?
-Flaga:  The prices for the cars might be too low, I could email Dan.
-Adams:  John Estelle is planning on teaching the workshop.
-Hughes: What about day of cars?
-Flaga:  They should probably make 10% cars/registrants available for day of the event.
-Applegate:  We could advertise that.
-Hughes:  You might not want to advertise that until near the end of the promotion.
-Applegate:  They want to do slo-mo at the finish line.  They know cameras.
+They want to use our track but we might want to cover the electronics in the back.  John Estelle is planning on teaching the workshop. They should probably make 10% cars/registrants available for day of the event. We could advertise additional car will be made available near the end of the promotion.
+They want to film slo-mo at the finish line.

 ====== **Casual Memberships** ======
-Applegage:  John and Lucas would like to have non-using members.  We need to define this.  I mentioned $25 fee and the guys said no it should be higher, maybe $50.
+John and Lucas would like to have non-using members. We need to define this. I mentioned $25 fee and the guys said no it should be higher, maybe $50.  Maybe we could have levels, for example students $25, a  $50 level,  a thousand dollar contributor would get a plaque.
-Bohm:  Maybe we could have more levels.  Some students would do $25.  If you are willing to pay $50 then you will pay $50.  I think we should have a thousand dollar contributor plaque.
-Adams:  In think the last time we talked about this we were going to have Bohm work with Canino-Koning.
-Bohm:  I thought she was working on it.
