Financial stuff

  • Richard or Seamus:
  • things look good in the last quarter

Geek Fair

  • Spent $2800, made $1800 fair events (probly more), made $2000 in the store. things went well.

Providence

  • 4 areas if concern: volunteer retention, space usage, expenses, culture changes.
  • Suggestions have been sent to staff, regardless of providence - we should be doing most of these things already.

a/v hiring

  • trying to fit into a grant we, well, didn't fit. oso takes blame for lack of communication. some grants have hirings built in. we do not want open-ended positions created out of grants, we need to be careful about keeping on mission, and council needs to make these decisions.
  • this grant is not diring anyone anymore (capitalization!), looking for alternate funding.
