Proposals:

* Will - Do the sponsors have to know you?
* Devin - Just come and get to know people.
Philip - 6 months of conversation but never proposed: Synhak establish
a senior membership fee at a fixed rate, age 62 or older. Several
reasons being
it is in-line with other organizations and businesses, and it will be
an incentive to get seniors to join synhak and bring wisdom and
experience. A lot of people out there that can be approached to join.
Some seniors are on limited incomes. Devin - Second the proposal
Philip - I will write a formal final wording.
* Alex - How are we going to prove it?

* Alex - $20 is reasonable
Becca - Family proposal didn't pass but was discussed last week.
* Becca read the proposal out loud
* Andrew - we are making a rule for an issue that we have had no
problems with at all, with the possibility of minors not being supervised.
* Mike - No reason to restrict minors for having a key
* Andrew - No just exclusively making an exception for Robert
* Omar - Who signed the key application page?
* Andrew - A parent
* Becca - I think since we have to consens on a key application then
we shouldn't need to restrict it based on age
* Steve - I will re-write it
Discuss:
Will - Can we get flare on subredit
* Omar - Yes
Mike - Projector Screen
* Andy - Big ladder to hold in different spots to try it, or move the
post (j/k)
* Philip - Suspend the projector from a rail
* Devin - 4 point drop down with chains to hang it anywhere
* Mike - wanted to suspend from the ceiling
Omar - Philip brought to my attention that the kitchen fund and the
beverage fund have been ignored so just a reminder if you use it drop
something in please.
* Philip - Rob brought in a case of 24 cans of pop last week and it's
gone and not contributing
* Devin - Can we glue the donation jar to the fridge, I have no
problem with it seeing as it is my fridge
* Omar - Put $30 worth of items in
* Philip - if you get a pop put a quarter in, get a beer put a buck,
sounds good to me
* Andy - Got a lot of people coming in now, we need someone emptying
the jars now, why not go back to devins idea and get a vending machine
* Phillip - Makerspace used one for snacks as well as electronic
components
* Devin - Nickel slot with just random things
* Becca - going along the lines, we need to start talking about more
fundraising ideas. I'm planning a silent auction going down to OSC to
talk to nick about using their place as a location. I don't have a
problem doing it here if we can make it presentable. So I'm suggesting
we go elsewhere. Torrie and I were tossing around ideas of
fundraising, I suggest bumper stickers even if you don't have a car
you can still slap it to other places. As well as a 50/50 raffle.
* Andy - love the idea of the raffle, the family readiness group use
it to support functions and it works great as well as it is very
enjoyable. Weekly seems a bit much.
* Becca - how do we keep track of people with the money and tickets?
* Angelo - Meet once a month and always close a meeting with a 50/50
raffle, tickets are given out there at the event
* Steve - someone responsible for open hours keeps track of it
** Philip - That's what I was going to say
* Omar - one person on FRG commity was responsible for the raffle
* Becca - I will do it the month of May
* Phillip - Synhak money, synhak owes several members money for
build-out of the space, I don't want to wait a month or more for
reimbursed for the expenses
* Omar - Send me the reciepts and I will make sure it gets reimbursed
* Phillip - I'm tired of the beuracracy that makes it impossible to
get anything like this done in a timely manner
* Mike - Did we all agree/consens on the cards for champions, It is
going forward as it was approved but I didn't get to express my views
on it
* Omar - It fufills the purpose of champions
* Angelo - with the other clubs I belong to someone goes out figures
out the cost, makes a proposal, gets approved, gets the money before
the project is started.
* Devin - I initially opposed this proposal, didn't like it at all at
first: Reads out email from bizops
* Andy - Philip's here now, we're here now, we need this up an
running, why don't we just give him the money he'll go buy the parts
and it'll get done tonight.
* Omar - the way it's setup right now no money can be handed out
tonight, synhak isn't a place where you can go out and buy stuff and
demand your money back. You need to say hey I need to spend this money
for the space, for this project, before you spend any money. If the
membership agrees then the money is released. We just don't want the
responsiblity on one person, so that if they are not available due to
circumstances.
* Andy - If all we need is a verbal agreement then my bills need
reimbursed since it was discussed ahead of time.
* Devin - It will be reimbursed just not now, but me and andy have
been told no on reimbursments and just only us. Given reciepts to
others to get the money. Someone took something the wrong way, and
they are attacking back using the position as treasurer. But this
needs to stop right now, because it is discriminatory.
* Andy - alot of this stuff wasnt decided on until after the money was
spent.
* Devin - If I have to call her and sit down with a mediator to settle
this now then I will but it needs done. Because this is not how a
non-profit should be ran.
* Philip - Organization needs to have a mechanism in place to
reimbursed for cost, and second we need a mechanism to allow people to
go out and buy things to fix items at the space that doesn't take 3
weeks or more to do anything.
* Alex - the champions are the only ones that have the authority to
take over the treasurers position if it is not being fullfilled, or to
make sure they are doing their job. We need to call a board meeting to
discuss this issue.
* Omar - forward the proposals to remove Torrie to the public list
* Devin calls for a board meeting upon consensus of the membership at
the meeting
