** Joe agrees, and offers to co-sponsor a membership vote.
* Newsletter game plan
** Can WA be used to send the newsletters, V asks?
*** That is rough. - James
*** Not elegant - Joe
*** Looking to use Mailgun, which we use already for discourse
** Are we looking to replace WA?
*** Yes, but not anytime soon.
** Where is new member email sent from?
*** WA.
* Fidel: A couple of months ago we talked about financial concerns. Should we be more concerned now that we have these infrastructure projects?
** We have chilled out vote spending, so it shouldn't be a problem.
** Sam has been talked into a less industrial drum sander - Donzell
** We have had a good membership gain over the last couple of months
* "Be the planer you want to see in the world." - James
* One issue w/ volunteer stressed out with the tasks they had. - Donzell
** Donzell suggests reaching out to volunteers to make sure they are doing okay, and asking if they need anything.
** "we've got good volunteers, we don't want to lose them" - Donzell
** James suggests asking Lyn if she would be interested in helping organize the volunteer appreciation party
*** We can send out the invitation and then in the same email invite feedback and requests for support.
** Donzell will reach out to Lyn to discuss planning the party.
** Julia counts 67 WILD volunteers in WA.
** Jesse asks if there are specific volunteers of concern.
*** This has been moved to board slack for closed meeting
* Donzell raises an objection to spending money on loaned tools
** James and Joe don't see that as a problem, as we do that regularly for loaned tools
** It encourages tools being loaned into the space to help fill niches we don't have
** James does caveat that the order of magnitude of spending should be taken into account.
** Donzell thinks Joe is awesome, but only some days.
*** Joe thanks him :)
** Jesse would like Drew R. or someone to move her art piece back into the lounge, so it doen't get damaged.
