New Business
- Electric Bill $624.37 to Tony
- Need to get the manual for the thermostat from Steve or online, and document how to use the heat in the space. It's confusing people.
- CPL Institutional memberships? This came in via Tim? They want to send some people to Jane Goodall us, and they want some deal to get one membership to share among their people. Same thing came in with some guy at Dev Mynd, wanting ~10 corporate paid for memberships. What do we think of that?

- information fragmentation (wiki, gdocs, calendars, dropbox, mailing lists)
- move the annual meeting to december in the bylaws.

Minutes
Shawn reports weatherproofing he's done to windows and drafts
Eric announces we need to start documenting and creating a guide to our complicated heating system
Does everyone have their officer emails- bry does not
Discuss institutional memberships- seems like we can help non-profits in other ways. As far as corporations, we are not interested in giving them special discounts
Discussed terms of hiring a custodian- Cleaning weekly at $50 per session for bathrooms and garbage - hailey will ask her contact to come tour the space in the next week- we need to figure out how much work would be involved in mopping at what extra payment we would offer to have it done potentially bimonthly
Discussing that many groups are interested in using limbo- welding and pottery are both into it- so is screen printing and bike racks
