-Applegate:  ​Katy Livingston wants to use part of our space as practice space as a professional circus performer. ​ She has her own insurance. ​ She prefers a location with I Beams but would be willing to bring own alternative. ​  +Katy Livingston wants to use part of our space as practice space as a professional circus performer. She has her own insurance. She prefers a location with I Beams but would be willing to bring own alternative. ​  We need to determine how long would she want to use the space Her interest in the space was forwarded to Al. Some concerns were raised ​about how she might appropriately pay for the space and whether ​it is appropriate ​if she is not doing '​Maker' ​thing. ​  ​She ​should ​have 2 memberships if bringing a partner. ​ By them both becoming members she would be covered by our insurance too.  ​Katy ​indicated that she would be putting a rider on her insurance for this address. We should have her organize with us so she is not practicing during meetings ​and that there could/will be bystanders.
-Flaga: ​ How long would she want to use the space +
-Raymond: ​ Her interest in the space was forwarded to Al +
-Canino-Koning: ​ It is super questionable for us to be making money from her using the space when we are not paying rent. +
-Flaga: ​ What about new space? +
-Applegate: ​ She offered to become a member but she would be dominating a lot of space+
-Adams: The question I have is, how to handle this when it is not really a maker thing. ​ You can use space if it is a maker thing. +
-Flaga: ​  ​Are there any obstacles for Al? +
-Adams:  ​She comes with her own insurance. +
-Flaga: ​ Maybe we want to put it to the members? +
-Adams: ​ Question number one, are we actually perplexed about this? +
-Flaga: ​ You are alluding that no one is against it, but is it really about making? +
-Raymond: ​ Even though it is tangential since there is an end to our using Adams: ​ Maybe we could charge her a day rate? +
-Applegate: I thought we would charge her as a member. +
-Flaga: ​ Having her be a non-member seems like a quagmire we do not want to get into. +
-Canino-Koning:​ If she is not a member we would have to make policies to cover that and it would create hassle. ​  +
-Applegate: She would be bringing a partner ​and equipment. +
-Bphm: Guests can not use tools. +
-Canino-Koning:​ She should have 2 memberships. +
-Flaga: ​By them both becoming members she would be covered by our insurance too. +
-Adams: Our insurance covers the lab. +
-Applegate: She indicated that she would be putting a rider on her insurance for this address. +
-We should have her organize with us so she is not practicing during meetings+
-Adams: ​ We should broach with her the fact that there will be bystanders +
-Bohm:  It could be cool to have a contact with performers for events. +

-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 ​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: ​ 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 experiencelots 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 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.+

-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. +
