Officer Reports
President
Annual report: Membership has been steady, slightly grown, have been in the current space for 2 years. We have options for moving in the next few months.
We can stay here for month to month, 6 months, etc. Options are open to stay.
We have been talking to the Scrap about possibility of moving in with them. 26 year old non-profit with a history of public engagement. We have a lot of crossover wtih them, but are distinct entities. How to work with them, how closely, etc.
We have met with Ann from Scrap, they are now planning to make the main Scrap bldg into a makerspace. A very large one- tentative, but moving forward. An eye towards keeping it open to the public to rent space or cohabit. This will be an ongoing discussion.
Appeal for nominees for elections.
Vice-President
