New Business
- Drew forwarded us a corporate grant for "Chicago nonprofits that impacts education in Chicago or helps provide Chicago youth with technology for educational purposes." RT ticket: #133.
- Discuss lounge and upstairs mold situation; possible mitigation needed. See "discussion" page for more details; have mold specialist Ed Chambers who can assist.
- Hot Metals area host.
Old Business
- Area host debit cards - Pex.
