Officer Reports

President

-- Snow Building lease coming up this month for renewal this month.

-- Schedule a space clean up day?

-- Pick a lightning talk date (Sept 30th?) Let's advertise the event outside our normal circle (ie flyers at: SparkCon/GeekSpark, Scrap Exchange, Durham Bike Co-op, TechShop (with permission :) - Scott allowed us to add our event to the TSRDU newsletter last time.)

-- Lightning talks will be close to our 1 year anniversary of Splat Space. We should combine this event with a 1 year anniversary party. It could be epic.

I've been out at Burning Man, so haven't had a chance to update the income / expenses details for August - I hope to add that info by the end of the week.

Ashley sent out a link to another hackerspace's IRS Form 1023 - the application form for the 501(c)3 status - so hopefully that will give us a jumpstart on our application!
